Give Faith her props. First of all, she's a writer, and that's a skill that will keep her receiving checks long after her voice goes out. Two, she can sing. Even though her first single "You Used to Love Me" downplayed her vocal abilities, she displayed a range that was out of this world throughout the course of Faith. She can go from light and breathy to gospeldelic and soaring at the drop of a hat. This is irrefutable.
"Soon As I Get Home" counts among her most signature tracks. It is my favorite Faith song and my second favorite slow jam. Unlike the man-hating ditties that would come to define female R&B in later years, this song had the female promising and apologizing to a lover she'd wronged, when faced with the possibility of loneliness. This track, produced by Chucky Thompson (who should also be saluted as the mastermind behind many of Bad Boy's earliest hits), shot to #3 on the R&B charts. It is a quintessential Quiet Storm groove, a sweet kiss and a warm embrace on a rainy night. After the bounce, check out the video along with a special surprise.
