Monica was just 14 when she dropped her first album, Miss Thang. Despite her young years, the project showcased an unusually mature sound—helped no doubt by the touch of R&B super producer Dallas Austin. 1998's The Boy Is Mine continued the winning streak, headed up by a classic tag-team performance with fellow teen star Brandy that powered the project to triple platinum status. Over a decade later, Monica's dedication to the roots of soul music was confirmed with 2010's vintage sounding Still Standing.
