Confidence - Melinda Valenz (Pop/R&B) Melinda is feeling herself on this track and it is WELL DESERVED. This is an impressively intimidating production of R&B goodness that we added to our personal playlists before the song even ended. This is the very definition of a bop that’s got that KNOCK—this was made for a high end car stereo. We love the lyrics, which along with the pristine vocal delivery is what we think is a very Jazmine Sullivan style cut, accompanied by a little spoken word punch that gives us a bit of Lizzo’s in your face confidence. Honestly, this 2-step inspiring crossover R&B jam might just be our favorite of everything we’ve reviewed this month. Get this on repeat, and put it on your pregame playlist. Now.

Best Lyric: “I do the work and then get what I deserve. Trust my own word and no need for your concern.”
