A singer who turned a church choir start into a string of early-2000s R&B hits.
If you want the early-2000s vibe, 'Foolish' is still the one. For something later, try 'Only U' or that 'Yeah' track with Chris Brown and Ne-Yo.
She landed a number one with 'Foolish' right out of the gate in 2002, which pretty much defined that whole Murder Inc. era of smooth, sample-heavy R&B. Songs like 'Only U' and 'Rock Wit U (awww Baby)' kept that sound going for a while. Even after the label drama and some public missteps, she kept putting out albums like Braveheart and Can't Nobody.
She signed with Murder Inc. in 2002 and her debut single 'Foolish' went to number one. The next few years brought Chapter II and Concrete Rose, plus features on tracks like 'Wonderful (Remix)' with Ja Rule. Later albums like The Declaration and Braveheart came out after the label's peak, through a lawsuit and some uneven press.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
