Best R&B Song (Mainstream Artist) of 2011


Reader's Pick:
Drake - Marvin's Room
How many artists could put a quietly desperate drunk-dial to music and end up with one of the biggest hits of the year? To answer my own question, one, and his name is Drake. Featuring the Young Money megastar pouring out his heart to a woman he can't have over the liquor-numbed synth grooves of Noah “40” Shebib, Take Care promo single “Marvin's Room” perfectly encapsulates the combo of vulnerability, understated swagger and ennui that makes Aubrey Graham's musical persona so compelling.

Runner Up:
Frank Ocean - Novacane

DJ Booth Staff Pick:
Miguel - Sure Thing
