Songs about breakups are a staple of modern R&B, so it's no surprise that Syleena Johnson has dedicated an entire album to a relationship gone wrong.

What is surprising is that Chapter 1: Love, Pain & Forgiveness is good enough to keep the listener's attention throughout. Johnson is the daughter of singer Syl Johnson and, like her father, Syleena has a powerful voice that is suited for both blues and soul. Highlights on the album include the infectious 'I Am Your Woman,' written by R&B heavyweight R. Kelly, and the jazzy 'Everybody Wants Something.' Even when she sings MOR numbers like 'I'd Rather Be Wrong,' Johnson brings a complexity and maturity to the music that is rare for a debut artist.

Her first recordings appeared on a mid-'90s album of duets with her father, but she made her proper debut with Love Hangover (1999), which featured covers of Diana Ross' 'Love Hangover' and Womack & Womack's 'Baby I'm Scared of You.'

She then signed with the Jive label for three albums, all of which reached the Top 20 of Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop albums chart. On Chapter 1: Love, Pain & Forgiveness (2001), Johnson confronted her romantic pitfalls and coming of age with guest appearances by Buddy Guy and R. Between Chapter 2: The Voice (2002) and Chapter 3: The Flesh (2005), she appeared on fellow Chicago native Kanye West's Grammy-nominated Top Ten Hot 100 hit 'All Falls Down.'

Surprisingly, sales of the latter seemingly weren't increased by the single's success. Johnson's Jive era was anthologized by I Am Your Woman: The Best of Syleena Johnson (2008).

Shortly thereafter, Johnson collaborated with Musiq Soulchild and producer Kemar McGregor for 9ine (2013), a set of contemporary reggae duets. Signed to the Blakbyrd label, Johnson released Chapter 6: Couples Therapy (2014), which she worked on extensively with Pierre Medor and Kriss Johnson. Rebirth of Soul (2017) featured covers of classics selected by and recorded with her father, including Syl's own 'Is It Because I'm Black.'

It marked the first time she'd recorded live vocals from a studio room floor with musicians. Syl produced and enlisted veteran Chicago players -- some had worked on his own catalog sessions.
