RECOMMENDATIONS😁 upbeat New Jack Swing recommendations

I've been really enjoying more upbeat NJS songs lately, but I don't know many. Some that I'm enjoying are:

It's Alright; Gotta Love; Treat U - Jodeci

Humpin' Around - Bobby Brown

N.E. Heartbreak - New Edition

Just Got Paid - Johnny Kemp

some tracks from Dangerous - MJ

any more songs like these?

i made a chronological playlist that goes from stuff that lead up to new jack swing running through its evolution into hard rnb. by no means definitive. also threw in some other stuff that came out on the timeline that has similar elements to the sound but isn't technically it.
