92 Amerie

Amerie is a rare type of recording artist armed with degrees in English and fine arts, an amazing voice and smoldering looks that could be the cause of global warming. In short, she commands the pop-music spotlight. Her emotional songs have a way of making people both excited and emotional. She has changed the way the public views R&B music by making songs that people can dance to in any venue. And while her voice preceded her other talents, her dance skills have been raved about in the past few years.

Amerie’s first two albums were certified gold, and her mixtape album, Because I Love It Vol. 1, was well-received when it debuted in the fall of 2006. Volume 1’s hit single “Take Control” peaked at No. 66 on the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs despite its limited exposure during the year. But Amerie’s biggest success of the year, aside from being ranked as AskMen.com’s eighth Most Desirable Woman, was winning the ASCAP award for Top Soundtrack Single of the Year for “1 Thing.” The track was featured in the movie Hitch, which starred Will Smith and Eva Mendes. She was also a Grammy nominee for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best Contemporary R&B Album.

Amerie cannot help but look forward to what should be a big year for her in 2007. Because I Love It Vol. 2 is already being hyped up even though it’s not due out until March. She will also be releasing the Because I Love It album, which should hit stores in the spring. The music world is going to be talking about Amerie’s work all year long.
