Review: Legendary American r&b and neo-soul singer Faith Evans released her third studio album Faithfully back in 2001 on Bad Boy Records. It is one of the most diverse records and takes inspiration from her musical studies into classic r&b, pop, rock and jazz artists like Chicago, S.O.S. Band and Ella Fitzgerald. It is full of great samples and has production by The Neptunes and Battlecat amongst others which helped it to earn a Grammy Award nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Album. It peaked at 14 on the Billboard chart and spawned singles like 'Burning Up' and 'I Love You.'

Review: Faith Evans released her Keep The Faith album, one of the three platinum-certified records she put out between 1995 and 2001, just 12 months after losing her then-husband Notorious BIG. It arrived on Bad Boy Records and was almost entirely written and produced by Evans herself. It was a highlight of the 90s soul-pop era with top ten singles including 'All Night Long' and 'Love Like This.' Evans brought plenty of raw pain to her vocal deliveries even though on the surface the commercial r&b tunes are easy to access. It's a heartfelt homage to her late husband that is just as touching today.
