Not being a HUGE fan of female R&B, I must say that I'm particularly addicted to Alicia Keys right now. IMO Alicia Keys can do almost no wrong, she's simply amazing, beautiful voice, and she seems to always make great songs that avoid the pitfalls of modern pop music. Both of her two new singles are amazing, her first:

And her second which I think I may like even MORE:

I find I like Pop music when I'm not in the mood to analyze music, my favorite music is underground Hip-Hop which often times is complex enough to warrant explicit attention, the draw to Pop music, is it's accessability, and easiness to listen to and not have to pay attention. Alicia Keys is Pop music at it's absolute best, and I wish she got even MORE attention then she already does.
