Karyn White – "Romantic"

Year: 1991

While “Romantic” sounds like a song meant for Janet Jackson, it launched Karyn White to No. 1. The new jack swing sound would become one of R&B’s calling cards for the decade, but White, while at the forefront of the new jack swing explosion, wouldn’t see the top spot, or even the Top 10, again.

Sweet Sensation – "If Wishes Came True"

Year: 1990

I legitimately don’t remember this song at all, but judging by the vibe of the track, Sweet Sensation were distant cousins of Expose, and/or Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, and there ain’t nothin’ wrong with that.
