Tonight’s ten
Jodeci — “Feenin’” Raw quartet harmonies, aching lead vocals and a groove that still defines the dramatic edge of 1990s slow-jam radio.
Blackstreet — “Don’t Leave Me” Teddy Riley’s group turns vulnerability into a polished plea, anchored by an instantly recognizable keyboard figure and stacked voices.
Monica — “Angel of Mine” A clear, patient vocal performance that lets devotion carry the record without crowding the melody.
Johnny Gill — “There U Go” Gill brings his full-bodied baritone to a grown conversation about loyalty, conflict and the pull of a relationship.
Tony! Toni! Toné! — “(Lay Your Head on My) Pillow” Warm instrumentation and an easy pocket make this the kind of record that changes the temperature of a room.
Mint Condition — “What Kind of Man Would I Be” A live-band slow burn built on Stokley’s controlled tension and a question that grows heavier with every chorus.
Chanté Moore — “Chante’s Got a Man” Joyful, elegant and proudly committed, Moore’s signature hit brings a little lift to the middle of the set.
Rome — “Do You Like This” A smooth late-1990s cut with a conversational lead and the quiet-storm pacing this hour calls for.
Glenn Lewis — “It’s Not Fair” Neo-soul detail, precise phrasing and relationship frustration meet in one of Lewis’s strongest album cuts.
Prince & The New Power Generation — “Insatiable” The closing record takes its time: hushed vocals, spacious production and Prince’s instinct for making intimacy feel cinematic.
Keep the night moving
