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.

Amerie Mi Marie Rogers Nicholson (born January 12, 1980) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and writer. She has released four studio albums to date: All I Have (2002), Touch (2005), Because I Love It (2007), In Love & War (2009). She is best known for her 2005 single "1 Thing".
