You can’t go wrong with this album though, so many great choices. “Heartbreaker” was chosen by Tank and is an amazing song, but “I Hate U” is slightly favored by us. We feel that “Wedding Song” would have been a great one, with huge potential for an impactful video. For whatever reason, the album didn’t get a chance to have a longer life because it seemed like follow up singles weren’t pushed. Tank is at his best when vulnerable, in pain, and booming on the vocals, and this song is all of those. YouKnowIGotSoul Would Have Chosen: 1) “Please Don’t Go” 2) “Wedding Song” 3) “I Hate U”Īnalysis: “Sex, Love & Pain” is widely considered as Tank’s masterpiece, and “Please Don’t Go” was the perfect song to lead with. Tank Chose: 1) “Please Don’t Go” 2) “Heartbreaker” We would have closed out the album with “Make Me Wanna Sing”, another beautiful ballad which one again shows Tank’s vulnerable side.
However, “Supa Sexy” is an uptempo jam way more in Tank’s lane. It was obvious why it was chosen as a single the party anthem was in line with the popular sound of the time. “Let Me Live” with Jazze Pha and Mannie Fresh is a song we would have avoided altogether as well. The album was lead by “One Man”, which is a good ballad, but “Unpredictable” is the slow jam we would have gone with. YouKnowIGotSoul Would Have Chosen: 1) “Unpredictable” 2) “Supa Sexy” 3) “Make Me Wanna Sing”Īnalysis: With Tank’s second album “One Man”, we would have gone in a completely different direction. Tank Chose: 1) “One Man” 2) “Let Me Live” It’s a mid tempo mellow jam that introduces yet yet another side of Tank. He only had two singles, but we would have gone with “I Don’t Wanna Be Lovin You” as the third single. “Slowly” did a great job of showcasing his powerhouse vocals and soulful style.
“Maybe I Deserve” was the perfect record to introduce Tank as an artist unafraid to show his vulnerable side. YouKnowIGotSoul Would Have Chosen: 1) “Maybe I Deserve” 2) “Slowly” 3) “I Don’t Wanna Be Lovin You”Īnalysis: Tank’s debut album “Force of Nature” really solidified his place as one of the top artists in r&b, and we wouldn’t change much. Tank Chose: 1) “Maybe I Deserve” 2) “Slowly” Tank is an artist we’ve supported heavily for many years, so this type of article is not to degrade his choices in any way. Regardless of how many singles where chosen by the artist on each album, we pick our top three and explain why we feel this would have been successful. He’s released six album since his debut in 2001, 3 on Blackground Records and 3 on Atlantic Records. In the second edition of our “Songs That Should Have Been Singles on Every Album” series, we take a look at the career of Tank.
