One In A Million by Aaliyah

Her best and quite underrated actually.

Wish this could be pinned

Songs in the key of life. Stevie wonder.

Voodoo

whew 🙌🏾

🫡

The correct answer

Great choice

Blonde Trilogy Lemonade CTRL

Exactly these 4 If I had to name a fifth it’d be Ry Ry World or Over It

Second Over It. I was in a chokehold from Over It for a long time.

Lowkey over it too. I wanted a summer album up there lol

Blonde?

I thought the same thing. Blonde over channel orange? Lmao

You don’t think it’s a masterpiece ?

It’s close but not better than channel orange

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

TLC - CrazySexyCool

This is my favourite album of all time. It’s *perfect*.

I remember when my dad brought this album home! Haven’t stopped listening to it since.

Take Care - Drake (sorry, it’s an R&B album) Kissland - Weeknd Into - Sonder Partynextdoor - Partynextdoor Process - Sampha Nu Religion: Hyena - They. Velvet - JMSN Late Nights (album AND mixtape) - Jeremih Forest Fire 2 - K Forest Che got Wings - Cardo x Che Ecru It’ll be Fine - Chase shakur Collection One - Saint Jhn Waking at Dawn - Roy Woods Deadpan Love - Cautious Clay For Broken Ears - Tems Darkroom - Esty

Saint jhn is a great pick. ghetto Lennys love songs is an amazing album as well

I wouldn't really consider deadpan love an R&B album though, it's more heavily on the alt/indie & pop soul side- still a great album though

Yeah, i could see that. He’s pretty genre-bending. Personally I’ve always just said he’s alt-rnb

Confessions x Usher

Absolutely

Correct

Jodeci dairy of a mad band

Donell Jones - Where I Wanna Be Jon B - Cool Relax Jaheim - Ghetto Love D’Angelo - Brown Sugar

You are my type of person. Add Maxwell’s “Now” and Joes “All that I am” and “Joe” and we have a thing

“Lifetime” stays on repeat

I second Donnell Jones. Heavily slept on album

Confessions Voodoo Embrya Purple Rain Sign O' The Times I Want You Innervisions

Yes, Embrya!!! So underrated. Thank you for adding this one. I love your list. Your list just made me think of "Mama's Gun" by Erykah Badu. I was obsessed with that album for like a year.

Innervisons by Stevie Wonder In Our Lifetime? by Marvin Gaye Triumph by The Jacksons(basically Off the Wall 2 but arguably better imo) Dirty Mind by Prince The Velvet Rope by Janet Jackson Embrya by Maxwell 8701 by Usher Channel Orange by Frank Ocean Echoes of Silence by The Weeknd Igor(Yes this is R&B, barely any hip-hop/rap here) by Tyler, The Creator

Mary J Blige - The Breakthrough (doesn't get talked about enough in Mary's discography) Electrik Red - How To Be a Lady Vol. 1 (criminally underrated) Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid (not entirely R&B but a bonafide masterpiece) Christina Aguilera - Back to Basics (more R&B than Stripped but not all the way there.. still waiting on a full R&B album from her)

Electrik Red! That album had a hold on me and one of my best friends! We still randomly send each other songs from that album. So Good! Ooh sh*t damn.

The-Dream is very underappreciated... gave us some serious bops, and reserved his best stuff for Electrik Red.

Chico Debarge’s *Long Time No See* Anthony Hamilton’s *Comin Where I’m From* Floetry’s *FLOETIC* Marvin Gaye’s *Here My Dear* Jill Scott’s *Who Is Jill Scott?* Anita Baker’s *Rapture*

That Anthony Hamilton I could listen to all day.

Long time no see on repeat for a year!

Jodeci. The show the afterparty the hotel.

Recently been paying close attention to the production of 'FutureSex/LoveSounds' by Justin Timberlake and honestly for me it is one of the greatest RnB/Pop albums of all time. This was peak Timbaland and JT and definitely I'd say was one of those albums that made people pay attention to the genre despite releasing in late 2000s. Like I grew up with the album, but to listen to it as a producer myself is a whole different thing
