Monica's irresistible, smoky voice laid a smooth groove down on the R&B world in the mid ‘90s, hypnotising listeners with powerful hooks and nuanced gymnastic performances. Since then, the singer has teamed up for a funky, symphonic mega-hit with Brandy (“The Boy Is Mine”), married vintage, soaring soul and hip-hop with an assist from Lil Wayne (“Just Right for Me”) and gone for broke on majestic, orchestral pop arrangements (“Street Symphony”). Her dazzling vocals always steal the spotlight, lending gorgeous wings to every tune.
