After ending with Bad Boy Evans contracted with Capitol Records company, becoming the first contemporary R&B artist to do so, and started work on her fourth studio album The First Lady, named after her nickname on her former label.[8] As opposed to having an in-house team of producers who supplied most of the previous material, she and Russaw were able to gain more creative control of the album and consulted producers such as Bryan-Michael Cox, Jermaine Dupri, Mike Caren, Pharrell Williams, and Chucky Thompson to contribute to it.[9] Upon its release in April 2005, The First Lady scored at number two on the Billboard 200 and #1 of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, becoming Evans' best-charting album to date. It was eventually certified gold by the RIAA.[10]At the end of the year, Evans released A Faithful Christmas, a holiday album of traditional Christmas songs and original tracks. The effort would become her last release on Capitol Records as the company was bought during 2007.[11]

Following a 5-year hiatus Faith Evans created her own record label imprint in 2010.[22] She named the imprint Prolific Music Group and hired top talent to build the record label from scratch.[23] Evans began recording songs with Keyshia Cole, Redman, Snoop Dogg and Raekwon, among others for the labels freshman album. Evans signed a deal with independent record label E1 Entertainment later that year. Her fifth studio album Something About Faith was released on October 5, 2010, in the United States,[24] where it debuted and peaked at number fifteen on the Billboard 200 and number one on the Independent Albums chart.[25] Something About Faith has spawned the leading single "Gone Already", which spent over thirty-three weeks on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, where it peaked at number twenty-two.[26]

There is a lot more to the catalog of Faith Evans than just the hits songs though. She has never released a poor album and she has so many album cuts that easily could have been singles. For that reason you will see that we have a very large honorable mention section of picks in addition to our top 10.

"Soon As I Get Home" was the second single on Evans' debut album, Faith. It's a story about a struggling relationship, with a promise from one person to make up for whatever they did wrong to other, as soon as they get home. Some say Evans wrote this as the apologizer, others think she wanted her husband, The Notorious B.I.G., to say these words to her. Either way, it's still considered today one of the best soul-pop songs from the 1990s. When Evans was asked to choose her favourite songs from her career, guess which topped the list?

Faith Evans is prepping to release an album of duets between her and her late husband the Notorious B.I.G. entitled The King & I. Featuring more from what's apparently an unexhausted vault of unreleased Biggie verses, this'll be the third posthumous album from the NYC legend, meaning that he has now released more albums dead than alive. Anyways, we have the first two songs from the album out today.

"NYC" features Jadakiss being proud of New York, while "When We Party" is in a G-funk style and has Snoop extolling the virtues of the West Coast, carrying on in the tradition of "Going Back to Cali." You can listen to both songs here and here.

By the fall of 1998, "Rap's most famous widow," as she was called by Ebony, was ready to release her second album. Keep the Faith was released in October and met with mostly critical success. Newsweek's Allison Samuels called it a "lush mixture of thoughtful love songs and boogie downbeats. Evans' edgy church-choir voice and soulful delivery make it clear she was born to sing the blues." And Lynn Norment of Ebony was just as positive: "Evans continues to let her honey-coated voice and heart-felt lyrics tell her stories of love and loss and triumph over heartache and adversity." Craig Seymour's 1998 review of Keep the Faith for the Village Voice praised "Faith's airy yet strong soprano," although he also wrote that he felt the self-written songs from her first album were better suited to her voice.

In 1995 Evans met the Notorious B.I.G., also known as Biggie Smalls, and married him after a courtship of nine days. Although the couple gave birth to a son, Christopher Wallace Jr., their relations had become tense by mid-1996: Smalls became publicly involved with rapper Lil' Kim, while Evans was rumored to have shared a liaison with Smalls's rival, rapper Tupac Shakur. In September 1996, Shakur was shot to death in a drive-by shooting, and, in an example of the increasingly public nature of violence in the rap world, Smalls met a similar fate just six months later. Although an aggrieved Evans was featured on Combs's hit tribute to Smalls, "I'll Be Missing You" (1997), she otherwise retreated from the spotlight for the next year. In 1998 she returned with her second album, Keep the Faith, which includes the infectious dance hits "Love Like This" and "All Night Long." On ballads such as "Never Gonna Let You Go" and "Lately I," Evans displays an impressive ability to build emotion throughout a performance, shaping her songs with honesty and passion. The tender ballad, "My First Love," can be interpreted as a requiem for Smalls: "We never had the chance to make it get better / We never said goodbye."
