My Life |

|
R&B |
Not as straight-up Baaad as your average Badu track, the jazzy, low-key “My Life” could use a lifesaver.

What My Heart Says |

|
R&B |
Missing from Miss Thang’s latest: the freshness that made you wanna be the boy in “The Boy Is Mine.” Her ever-improving set of pipes (check the evidence) deserves better.

Ready (Radio Edit) |
MP3 |
|
R&B |
Hotlanta’s latest kiddie corps is knee-deep in sugar on this sticky R&B ballad. Unfortunately, it’s not tasty enough to stick in your head!
|
Terra Diva |

|
R&B |
This breathy bubblegum babe cooks up a slow jam that is best taken in small servings. Don't be surprised if you get the urge to tear-a this diva right outta the playa.
|
Bootsy Collins |
|
Body Slam! |
LiquidAudio |
|
R&B |
The undisputed champ of bombastic funk bass (sorry, Flea) takes a midtempo trip with disco synths, jazz piano and freeform boogie ignition devices of all sorts. Not Bootsy's finest, but still good fun.

There You Go (Hani Club Remix) |
LiquidAudio |
|
R&B |
It'd be easier to think Pink if this promising put-down had a sound as distinctive as the young lady’s look.

Anthony Michael Hall |

(Welcome to the...) Hall of Mirrors |

|
R&B |
No joke: the long-lost teen movie star and "SNL" cast member returns to the limelight, . . .and he's got the blues.

R&B |
This jazzy, gentle R&B jam will soothe you; if you like vintage grooves, it might even move you.

Ricky Bell |

Spanish Fly |
PlayJ |
|
R&B |
The voice of New Edition’ll need a big pinch of “Spanish Fly” to get you to stick around till the end of this Latin-tinged jam.

Dave Hollister |
|
You Can't Say |
LiquidAudio |
|
R&B |
Dave uses his vocal power to make a convincing case that he tried to do his lady right -- more convincing, unfortunately, than the by-the-numbers R&B ballad behind him.
