Jagged Edge really made a name for themselves by being unafraid to show their vulnerability in their music “Walked Outta Heaven” is a great example of that. Walked Outta Heaven (from the “Hard” album) Such a sad song but tells such a true story that many men could relate to. Goodbye (from the “Jagged Little Thrill” album) The group’s third number one single really set the tone for 2000’s R&B in terms of standout R&B/Hip-Hop collaborations. Where the Party At (featuring Nelly) (from the “Jagged Little Thrill” album) “Promise” is a great example of how Jagged Edge has taken timeless love stories and always put their own spin on them lyrically. This song and it’s accompanying remix have both become staples at weddings even two decades after they came out. This song is easily one of the best on the project. Heartbreak” had so many quality choices for singles. The group did an amazing job with this Gap Band cover and really made it their own. Wednesday Lover (From the “A Jagged Era” album) This touching ballad from the group’s debut album really gave us a great introduction to them and has stood the test of time as a timeless love song. I Gotta Be (From the “A Jagged Era” album) As a note, we did not take into account the amazing remixes they have, this is just songs from their albums.Ĭlick Here to check out all of our Top 10 ListsĪlso in case you missed it, Wingo from Jagged Edge recently exclusively revealed to us his top 5 songs from the group that should have been singles. Without further ado, here is the list of what we consider to be The Top 10 Best Jagged Edge Songs. The group is currently preparing for the release of a double album as a special treat for fans for their 10th project. Since then, they’ve released nine albums in total and have scored countless hit singles. We first heard from Jagged Edge when they released their debut album “A Jagged Era” in the late 90’s with the help of Jermaine Dupri on his So So Def label. It’s always a good time to revisit the discography of Jagged Edge since the group’s timeless legacy continues to inspire many other artists from the younger generation. Their dedication to the romantic current that runs through R&B is thorough, steadfast, and genuinely doting.In the latest edition of our Top 10 Best Songs by an artist series we dig into the songs and albums of Jagged Edge. While album titles like 2003’s Hard and 2007’s Baby Makin’ Project spoke to the quartet’s sway over bodies, 2010s team-ups with Tory Lanez (“The Trade”) and Jacquees (“Special”) recalled the carefully layered harmonies that first drove Jagged Edge into our hearts. Never ones to be tied down, Jagged Edge explored pop-rap with Nelly (“Where the Party At”) and old-school hip-hop with Rev Run of Run-DMC (2000’s “Let’s Get Married” remix). Heartbreak, that explored every angle of devotion with the help of alternatingly assertive and affectionate singles “He Can’t Love U,” “Promise,” and “Let’s Get Married”-blush-inducing love letters in audio form. Their silken vocals and uncanny interplay reeled us in on the gently earnest “I Gotta Be” from 1997’s debut, A Jagged Era. The So So Def label boss helped the quartet concoct a can’t-lose formula: sing from the heart, convincingly and masterfully, over any type of production, from carnal grooves to celebratory jams. Identical twins Brian and Brandon Casey teamed with church friend Kyle Norman and emerging singer Richard Wingo in mid-’90s Atlanta-a prime time and place to be taken under the wing of Jermaine Dupri. With their yearning ballads and amorous uptempo hits, Jagged Edge round the bases of R&B with ease.
