K. Michelle takes a more serious approach with her cover of Beyoncé’s “Best Thing I Never Had,” singing about a former lover who physically abused her. “I thank God I didn’t die/ … I’m so glad I’m over you/ I’ma pray my way out,” sings R. Kelly’s protégé, who’s expressed her unhappiness with her label Jive Records in recent weeks. “You turned out to be, the worst man I ever had.”
