The Notorious B.I.G. legendarily likened Faith Evans' singing to rain—and there's nary a better description for his widow's lilting voice. As bracing as light autumn rain, the R&B vocalist's calming soprano provides natural ambiance to the quiet-storm serenade of 1994's “Soon As I Get Home” and the adult contemporary atmosphere of “I Just Can't”. But Bad Boy Records' first lady also has a dancier urban side, like on the Chic-sampling slow-disco shimmy of “Love Like This” and the Ja Rule collaboration “Good Life”, on which her hip-hop soul delivery is as slick as a wet street.
