Other than TLC, Monica, Brandy, Aaliyah, Janet and Whitney cause I've heard their albums hundreds of times. I've been listening to Tamia's "So Into You" nonstop for days and I'm in the mood for some arguably better R&B than what we get today.

"Use Your Heart"- SWV (produced by The Neptunes) is one of my favorite R&B songs Ever

"Seven Whole Days (live)-Toni Braxton"

"Rain"-SWV

"Be Happy" and "I'm Goin' Down"- Mary J. Blige

I had to really thing about these five songs. I never realized how male-dominated my 90s musical catalog was until I tried to answer this question.

Lately I've been listening to....

My fave is definitly Nicole Renee. Her album was so promising, don't know what happened to her though.

Changing Faces - Feeling All This Love; Lovin' Ya Boy (self-titled debut album)

Faith Evans - Fallin' In Love

Zhane - Rendez-Vous; Vibe (I like both of their albums pretty much in full-- just picked those 2 tracks off the top of my head)

Meshell Ndegeocello - Dred Loc

Xscape - Can't Hang; Feels So Good

Angela Winbush - Keep Turnin' Me On

Total - Kissin' You; Do You Think About Us

Brownstone - If You Love Me

Sade - Love Deluxe album

Sista - Brand New

Dionne Farris - Passion

Groove Theory - Tell Me

Des'ree - Crazy Maze

Caron Wheeler - I Adore You

Shanice - It's For You

Cece Peniston - I'm Not Over You

Allure - Head Over Heels

Nuttin' Nice - In My Nature

Lisette Melendez - Goody Goody Lovin'

Zhane - Groove Thang

Brand New Heavies - Dream On Dreamer

702 - Steelo

Tracie Spencer - This House

Gina Thompson - The Things You Do

The Shades - Tell Me (I'll Be Round)

Vanessa Williams - Runnig Back To You

Monifah - I Miss You

Radio Loved "Chante's got a Man" & "Candle Light"...Maybe it's me but when I hear Chante sing I hear Diana Ross'like vocals...She sounds like her in a lot of ways...Chante is an amazing vocalist...

When she first came out in 1992 with her debut album,I was thinking that she would be the 'Diana Ross' of this generation! She's got a sexy,sultry voice like Diana's.She doesn't scream or try to hit a million notes in one song (lol).

Favorite song by her: "It's Alright"

Chante should be a Huge Superstar, as well as Shanice...Two AMAZING singers struggling to get a recording deal & gigs...That is beyond SAD...There isnt a Female Vocalist out there that sings better than Chante & Shanice..Not any of them got vocal-game like the two of them..

Although she was at R&B radio, Chante could have easily been rivals with Mimi and Nippy at Pop radio. All had similar singing styles, especially Mimi and Chante (I've played Chante for people and they thought it was Mimi). Sadly, for whatever reason, MCA decided not to promote Chante outside of black radio.

Lisa Stansfield - All Woman

Cherelle - Never in my life, Tears of Joy

Karyn White - Romantic

Mica Paris - I want to hold on to you

Anita Baker - Soul Inspiration, Body & Soul

Had to show this one some love since it was criminally overlooked when it was released back in 1994...

Here's the remix (you know in the 90's you had to have a remix right?)
