group b

Selena - missing my baby

honestly with her music a lot of the times people send the same couple of tracks so its refreshing to explore something else. this is sweet :feeling: its super early 90s and was a nice listen! it will prob get a bit overshadowed by others in this playlist but a solid end of the list

[Devin]

Sade - Cherry Pie

This song is underrated.

[Devin]

The Cranberries - Sunday

So happy to see this song trending, makes my heart even happier to see The Cranberries getting hype again.

[Devin]

Diana Ross - Tenderness

Great song! It should have been a chart hit. 

[Devin]

Prince - Erotic City

Taste! The world kinda slept on this song.

[Devin]

Stevie Wonder - Summer Soft

LEGENDARY. This song may be the best representation of the amazing things that Stevie is able to do with his voice.

[Devin]

TLC - Case of the Fake People

This classic.

[Devin]

Jody Watley - Always and Forever

Wild this should've been a single. 

[Devin]

Liz Phair - **** and Run

One of the best tracks on the album omg.

[Devin]

Billy Joel - Zanzibar

A whole bop!

[Devin]

Sinéad O'Connor - Drink Before the War

RIP she was SO fantastic. This album was incredible. She was singing from her heart and soul.

[Devin]

Bee Gees - More Than a Woman

I can't imagine how good it must have felt to hit the dance floor when this song was blasting in the 70s.

[Devin]

Aaliyah - I'm So Into You

Wasn't that big into the AANBA album, but the only songs I genuinely loved was this and Back & Forth. 

[Devin]

Anri - Shyness Boy

Japanese City Pop songs have always proved themselves to be highly reliable summertime bangers.

[Devin]

Stacey Q - Love or Desire

I love Stacey Q vocals.

[Devin]

SWV - Give It to Me 

I love how this song just screams New Jack Swing.

[Devin]

Selena - Missing My Baby

2024, still jamming to this!

Group B critiques

 

Sade - Cherry Pie

 

How gorgeous. Sade has always had one of the smoothest velvet voices in the industry. I especially loved the instrumentation in the first 50 seconds before the key change.

 

4/5

[nostalgic]

The Cranberries - Sunday

 

Dolores' voice was certainly an acquired taste. It's a nice song...pretty where it counts, I suppose.

 

3/5

[nostalgic]

Diana Ross - Tenderness

 

This album has 8 songs and 3 were singles, so I know you didn't have many choices...but I'm sure any of the other 4 songs would've been better. I was wishing it was Upside Down the whole time.

 

3/5

[nostalgic]

Prince - Erotic City

 

Ooh this beat. But why does Prince sound like that? I liked it overall but could've done without the vocal effects.

 

4/5

[nostalgic]

Stevie Wonder - Summer Soft

 

It's Stevie Wonder and that's good enough.

 

4/5

TLC - Case of the Fake People

 

People calling this boring  are we listening to the same song? A BOP! Fake people to the left.

 

5/5
