"Sorry" Ciara

She was once the Princess of Crunk&B, now she can barely get an album released, but I stay rooting for Ciara. Whether due to the technical wizardry of brilliant producers or the compelling slinkiness of her limited vocals, she has given us some of the best R&B songs of the last decade, from the gritty bop of "Oh!" to sultry bedroom jam "Promise." New single "Sorry," from Ciara's upcoming fifth studio album, One Woman Army, doesn't reach those epic heights, but its retro vibe and no-frills production are a refreshing contrast to the current pop scene. Couples looking for the soundtrack to their make-up sex will appreciate the track's gently undulating musical peaks and emotional climaxes. Plus, who doesn't love a sexy saxophone? B+
