90s were a good time for slick soul jams. Especially ballads, which is what I mean. And, no, be honest, Prince didn't write it. Prolly the best song of that period was Roni. Another Sad Love Song, Badu, Something for the People, TTD, Delicate. Knockin Da Boots by H-Town always got me; Color Me Badd, I Adore, Me Amore. So many.

"Til The Cops Come Knockin'" - Maxwell....."Stay" - MeShell

"If I Ever Fall In Love (remix)" by Shai was a good one

Ooh Tonight-Color me Badd. Thats one i love atm

Prince had a few good ones. "One kiss at a time" for example.

Another Sad Love Song,

that's a good one Toni Braxton's debut album is a 90s R&B classic.As producers,LA and Bayface were at the top of their game.

Boyz II Men "Please Don't Go" is up there. Also partial to Jodeci's "Feenin'". Mariah/Bone Thugz "Breakdown".

Yeah, I prefer "feenin'" to "freak n u". Also love H Towns "Part time lover", which is basically Jodeci for obvious reasons

Silk "Freak me" is still sexy asf

Eric Benet's entire first album

Rahsaan Patterson's enite first album

D'Angelo's entire first album

And PRINCE made some great soul songs during this period as well. Money Don't Matter Tonight, and Willing And ABle to name two.
