Post a one-hit wonder R&B song

Amerie is definitely known for one song. But I can't let go of the fact that she has a beautiful run of flop singles and managed to carve out a steady career of three of four albums before she disappeared. She was quite a moopy favourite for a while.

I'm definitely a fan of hers. I love her voice and I think her consequent singles were all pretty solid.
 
Yes I remember a certain section of Moopy being quite taken by Amerie’s third album
 


Well I was listening to this earlier. It's like the older sister to Aaliyah's more luxurious More Than A Woman.
 
I love that song but I hope you’re just posting it as a passing interest and not as a response to this thread title otherwise imma have to upgrade you from a :kim: to a :greta:
 
Just because some budget Keyshia Cole/Amerie clone has been steadily releasing songs since 1999 to no avail doesn't it mean it can't fit here

Amerie’s debut album was gorgeous. I don’t think she ever topped that for me.
 
Why did Amerie become Ameriie and then go back?
 
Not sure if this was already posted - this was #1 EVERYWHERE (except US where it only went top twenty). The follow up "I Love Them Ho's (Ho-Wop)" ( :manson: ) *shockingly* did not make the same impact.

 
I think this only did anything in North America (US #20, #3 at pop radio). I loved it at the time but it's a bit SHIT IN RETROSPECT

 
Technically she never really had a big hit as she never reached the top 50 in US Billboard Chart nor did she chart in the UK but I'm using the excuse this was NO 1 IN THE US DANCE CHARTS (:D) to throw this SULTRY CHARMER of a song in!

 
According to searches Nikka Costa has never actually had a hit of any kind, but she just came up on a playlist for the first time in ages and I'm now trying to find anything recent. Last seen doing a cover album in 2017 and now seems to live in Australia.

Push & Pull is such a great song.



 
I hope that despite her attempt to reinvent herself as a serious artisté she is fuming that this is still her only (moderate) success, anywhere :D
:D

She shouldn’t be. It’s a masterpiece. I think of its lyrics often.

I wonder what her second best song is. I’ve never bothered to find out.

Oh I quite agree but you just know she hates it (as an artist who values INTEGRITY and INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY)
 


I don't think he ever had a proper hit in Europe but he had a lot in USA and this is not even the biggest one! I like his early singles but then he just started to release generic boring songs one after another until he stopped having any impact.
