Monica

Former Miss Thang teams up with Dem Franchise Boyz, perhaps the most famous finger snappers in history, for a single that sounds too menacing to be soulful and too soft to be a street anthem. The beat is straight ATL snap -- with whirring synths and pattering high-hats -- and the middle-aged Monica sounds a bit out of her element. "I know you used to seeing Mo' laid-back," the singer acknowledges. To paraphrase It's a Wonderful Life: Every time a finger snaps, a diva loses her wings.
