4) All I Have (84)- Amerie’s first album isn’t bad but its clear she hadn’t really developed her signature sound yet. I’ll admit I’ve probably listened to this one the least. The first song, “ Why Don’t We Fall in Love” is amazing. Then there’s “ Talkin’ to Me” which is really good too. “I Just Died” is really emotional too. There are some highs here but a lot of mid songs tho….Overall its a good project.
3) Touch (93)-I really like this album. It has Amerie’s huge hit “1 Thing” on it. “All I Need” is a sultry song too. Then there’s her bad girl sound on the “Touch” song. That Lil Jon beat is fire! “Not the Only One” is another highlight as Amerie confronts her lover and says she’s cheating too. You can hear the go-go uptempo sound again on “Talkin’ About”. The production as a whole is just better here than on her debut. “Rolling Down My Face” is another strong deep cut.
2) Because I Love It (96)-This was the album that really made me a fan of Amerie. It’s really stacked. “Hate2loveu” is really catchy and gets the album off to a great start. “Crazy Wonderful” might be my favorite song here. It’s just fits her style perfectly. “Some Like It” is fire too. “Somebody Up There” Is a really good ballad too. “1 Thing” is here too as is a great ending song “Losing U” which is really emotional. The production here is just as good as on Touch but she seems better lyrically imo.
1) In Love & War (100)-I gotta admit this has been the first discography I’ve ranked where the albums just get progressively better each time. I don’t get why this album isn’t regarded as one of her best. I will admit she’s kinda experimental on this album but to me it pays off. “Higher ” has a hot rock fueled kinda beat. “Heard ‘Em All” is a fun song where Amerie really shows a lot charisma. There’s a remix with Lil Wayne too. “Pretty Brown” with Trey Songz is really smooth. “ More Than Love” with Fabolous is good too. I love “Swag Back” too. The slower songs near the end are maybe the worst songs but they’re not bad by any stretch. Lead single “Why R U” is one of her better songs imo. Yeah this album is just amazing.
