Comment:

Some of the most original and flat-out phenomenal talents in soul have been known to kick — no, [i]roll[/i] — out the slow jams. Acoustic-guitar-strumming earth mama India.Arie takes hip-hop beats and soul-folk sweetness from the coffeehouse to the bedroom to get in touch with some soft "Brown Skin." Riding a deep groove with her funky bass and smoky vocal, Me'Shell Ndegeocello sends a jazzy, soft-funk message that begs her restless lover to "Stay." Even the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul shows up for some slowhand sensuality, as Mary J. Blige casts an eye back to the old school on a gently bumping revamp of the Chaka Khan sugar shot "Sweet Thing."
