Top 10 R&B Albums of 2011
Now it’s time to slow it down a little bit for all my R&B lovers. After all, r&b is the sister genre of hip hop, a yin & yang of sorts. And these days, with new artists like Drake and The Dream, the two genres are closer than ever. So, without further ado, here are the top 10 r&b red light specials.
#10 - Top 10 R&B AlbumsJust Charlie - Charlie Wilson
One time for the old school yall. Uncle Charlie has been dazzling us with his voice for over 30 years! If you don't know, you better take a listen. Favorite Tracks: You Are |
| #9 - Top 10 R&B AlbumsCalling All Hearts - Keyshia Cole
After getting married & having a baby Keyshia finally go back to the studio. Maybe not the commercial hit like her past work, the album should still please most r&b fans. |
| #8 - Top 10 R&B AlbumsNo Boys Allowed - Keri Hilson
Ms. Keri baby has returned. However, since there are no boy allowed, I couldn't listen. But from what I hear, it's pretty good. |
| #7 - Top 10 R&B AlbumsLove Letter - R. Kelly
Not your typical R. Kelly album, and by typical I mean sexy, freaky, on the verge of raunchy. R evokes the sounds of 60's and 70's soul with tracks like "Radio Message" and "When a Woman Loves." A nice change from the norm. |
| #6 - Top 10 R&B AlbumsThe Lady Killer - Cee Lo
One of the most underrated music minds of our era. Cee-Lo exhibits yet another side of talents, r&b/soul. The album draws inspiration from 70's r&b/soul music, but with his eclectic twist. WIth an extremely catchy & vulgar lead song, this album is a great listen. |
| #5 - Top 10 R&B AlbumsLast Train to Paris - Dirty Money
Diddy stepped out of the box on this project and has some great hits... and misses. I think he has amassed great talent around him to complete this album. Unfortunately, his lack of vocal & lyrical talent still stands out like a sore thumb. You tend to get that, this track would be great if you weren't on it Diddy. |
| #4 - Top 10 R&B AlbumsLoud - Rihanna
Is it just me or is Rihanna taking over where Beyonce left off? This new R&B princess is everywhere, the Grammys, All-Star Games, and all the clubs. She os on the rise! |
| #3 - Top 10 R&B AlbumsLibra Scale - Ne-Yo
The Smooth R&B Gentleman follows up multiple albums with Libra Scale. He and Rick Ross combine talents again for another hit, and the rest of the album follow the Champagne Life theme. |
| #2 - Top 10 R&B AlbumsPassion, Pain & Pleasure - Trey Songs
His longest album to date and maybe one of his best. It includes classic Trey Songz bedroom bangers and new club hits. But he also ventures into some pop & rock, expanding as an artist. This album is sure to satisfy his core fans and possibly gain some new ones. |
| #1 - Top 10 R&B AlbumsBest Night of My Life - Jamie Foxx
In his 3rd album, J Foxx picks off right where he left off with Intuition. Packed with club anthems and bedroom bangers, this may be his best effort yet. He has plenty of guest appearances on this album, yet it doesn't sound pieced together. |
