Amerie

Amerie is an artist I associate with one electric moment. Her 2005 single 1 Thing, with that frantic go-go beat, still sounds ahead of its time to me, and it overshadows just how layered her output really was. Across four studio albums from All I Have in 2002 to In Love & War in 2009, she carried herself as a true singer-songwriter, not just a vocalist. The Georgetown education adds another dimension I find interesting, and her later turn toward writing makes sense. I think of her as someone whose influence on 2000s R&B outweighs her chart footprint, the kind of artist other musicians quietly admire.
