THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

Friday, May 26, 2006

Nicole Scherzinger - Steam (full) - download
So if the name isn’t familiar to you, just know that Nicole Scherzinger is the name of the lead singer from the popular sextet, The Pussycat Dolls! Apparently, Nicole’s pulling a Beyonce - still in the group, still recording with them and on tour, but spreading her wings and doing the solo thing, which is great, consider that she’s got a great voice and loads of stage presence and charisma. Bryan Michael Cox definitely put it down on this digitally-sexed track. Check it out, it’s a good party song.

Joe feat. Papoose - Where You At (full) - download
I think I said this in a previous post, but Joe is coming for you guys’s throats with this next album. His vocals are that fire and the production kind of reminds me something sophisticated and southern. Although I dig “Go Hard” as a first single a lot more than this, I can’t sleep on this song. I’m digging Joe’s transformation from just regular R&B crooner to Mr. Grown & Sexy. I feel like he’s really setting himself apart from these other male R&B artists. But the rapper is wack to me.

Jovan Dais feat. Ryan Leslie - Fashion Type (full) - download
I guess Ryan Leslie can do some wrong. Or maybe it’s the artist that I’m not digging in the song, but really, lowkey, I don’t like the production either. I had heard about Jovan Dais but hadn’t really given his music a chance and now I kind of see why. This song definitely doesn’t do anything for me, but check it out and let me know what you think.

Lloyd feat. Tango Redd - Want You (full low quality) - download
This song isn’t exactly new, but I figure a lot of people haven’t heard it. Really, it’s pretty old, and it’s just off of a mixtape, but I’m really feeling this song and I wanted people to know of Lloyd’s re-emergence in 2006. This song’s been getting some radio play here in Atlanta, and hopefully the markets will spread with his official new single, “ATL,” which I’ll have for you in the coming days. One thing, though, I hope Lloyd has left the Inc. and gotten with someone that suits his southern image more.

I think you’re a little bit jealous. But no really, I just happened to come in here and noticed no one had commented yet. So I decided to do what everyone else does.

I like Lloyd. Not really sure about the song. I hope he come out with something soon.

Lloyd’s song “Hey Young Girl” was dope. But his album was sort of corny to me. The only other jawn I listened to off his album was “Trance” feat Lil Wayne.

Damn Nicole needs to stop splittin her check 6 ways. Just Drop PCD. Just get backup dancers. Omarion realized that a long time ago.

16.

caff

Friday, May 26, 2006 /

Tyron, I seriously doubt all the PCD’s are getting an even slice of the pie. I would even go on to say that Nichole gets the majority of the cake, out of the group.

The other girls are just extra eye candy, and dancers. So it’s like she’s solo now.

People kill me by saying music is old! I’ve never heard that Lloyd song, so it’s new to me. Let other people be the judge of someone saying something is old. I like all the songs, Nicole surprised me, that’s a hot song. Joe always bring it! The other dude… it don’t do anything special.

WELL, I KNEW IT WOULDN’T BE LONG BEFORE NICOLE FROM THE PUSSYCAT DOLLS WENT SOLO. NOT THAT IT’S A BAD THING. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL, CAN SING, AND HAS STAR QUALITY. YA’LL KNOW THAT SHE’S THE GIRL FROM EDEN’S CRUSH, (THAT GIRL GROUP THAT WAS PUT TOGETHER ON THAT REALITY SHOW).SHE WAS THE ONE THAT LEAD ALL THE SONGS AND ONE OF THE OTHER GIRLS FROM THE GROUP WAS JEALOUS OF. ALSO, THE GIRL ROSANNA TAVARES FROM TV GUIDE AND THE RYAN SEACREST SHOW WAS IN THE GROUP, AS WELL. I GET THE FEELING SHE’S GONNA BECOME A MEGASTAR.

21.

@20

yeah, she was from Hawaii. She was the only one I remembered from that group, cuz she had that “it”!

22.

ummmm

Friday, May 26, 2006 /

Yeah before they PCD signeds the group they knew she was going to sing lead , but they say the Black girl Melanie can really sing too and the rest are dancers the girl with the red hair was backup dancer for B.she was Crazy in Love Music video and went on tour with her.

23.

NetworKing

Friday, May 26, 2006 /

I didn’t even know there was a black girl in the PCD…actually I don’t remember what any of them look like except Nicole. Ain’t it like 12 of them or something?

Does everyone remember Nicole from “Popstars”. I am glad she is doing her thing I always thought she was the deal, some of these current divas need to watch out for her!!!

I am really loving that Nicole Scherzinger song, I found it a couple of days ago. I am a fan of hers and if ya’ll are feeling her song, check her out on Avant’s new album. The song is called ‘Lie About Us’ it is a nice song. It’s the next single off his album. I can’t wait till she goes solo, she can really sing and dance. And the girl Melody in PCD is black and Mexican.

27.

Theres this song hovering about as well, with shaggy feat Nicole, PCD is like mega over, the first and the last album was alright, at least they didn’t keep us hanging like Beyonce’s destiny child

I’m loving that Nicole S. track! The beat is hot and I like her voice. Not a Pussycat Dolls fan, but from the songs I have heard, she sings all the leads and she has a really good voice.

33.

babycheif_fl

Friday, May 26, 2006 /

For #27 the song with Nicole and Shaggy is called ‘Don’t Ask Her That’. The song is O.k., but the duet with Avant is better.

Nicole has vocals, but she’s missing the “it” factor. Plus, isn’t she past 25? It’s kinda late to be starting out.

#35 Papoose is a rapper, and it was also a word to describe a little Indian baby back in the settling days. But I don’t think Papoose uses it as his name to refer himself as a Indian baby.

Damn the Joe song is so hot but Papoose seems a little out of place on it IMO. I like Papoose on other tracks though.

Lloys is aight, I aint really listen to his solo shit, But i was feeling his vocals on alot of tracks he did with murder inc. That old 8ball and MJG track with lloyd is fire though, think its called forever or something. But yeah his style is dope though.

#37….

Didn’t JLo shoot to pop superstardom in her late 20’s-early 30’s?

Why can’t Nicole? she can actually sing better than a lot of these sloppy pop bitches. She just needs a good producer.

48.

Saturday, May 27, 2006 /

Nicole needs to go solo. The girl is the shit on stage and is the only real entertaining thing of pussycatdoll. I love the song, Brian Cox did his thing and Nicole is a hell of a singer, really underrated. She has the “it” factor, can sing, can fucking dance, is gorgeous and has charisma. she could be the next big thing.

I love that joe track too.

49.

The Lloyd song is new to me..I’ve never heard it before and I really dig it! It has a nice vibe, and I like the sample he uses in this sing (I can’t remember the singer of the 80’s song he samples…*singing*…I know this much is true…)

Loves the Joe and Papoose song, always been a Joe fan since way, way, way back. Glad he’s coming back, what ever happened to the whole G-unit thing? Am I mistaken or wasn’t he like signed w/ them for like a minute? I like Papoose but I could’ve done w/out him on this track, but whatever…its still good

The Nicole S song didn’t work for me…I’m not a fan really of PCD, its not that they/or Nicole isn’t good but I just can’t take her or the group seriously. I tried to like this song but I had to stop it and erase it from my list cuz it all started to irritate me. PCD and this song always sounds like aerobic/workout music.

Oh well, I was wondering when Nicole was going to go solo. She’s mos def beautiful, and she can sing so I’m sure there is much success awaiting her from the market she is trying to target, I’m just not in that market I guess…

I’m feeling the Nicole track. Honestly, though, I’d be more excited if Melody was going solo (the half black half latina girl). In my opinion, she’s got the best vocals in the group. Ever hear the PCD track Sway? Nicole is doing the lead vocals for most of the song, but towards the end Melody comes in and just KILLS it. Sure, she sounds a little like Christina Aguilera, but is that a bad thing? Last time I checked, Christina could fuck up a mic.

Pittboi..ive heard them perform live a bunch of times..and other than being able to go on those lonnggg notes..like when Christina Aguilara sings….Melody cant really since at a normal tone that well…but shes the finest one to me.

Nicoles song here i like….like the Pussycat dolls, this song is a club track…but shes been fine since b4 the EDENS CRUSH days, so this will do well.

I like the Joe track a lot too…it almost doesnt sound like him..and i think Papoose fits in the song just fine…i like what he says in his rap.

the other stuff..eh

WEll I was waiting for nicole to officially say she was solo since it was nicole and co but I really wanna hear Melody sing coz i think she would kill it hardcore.

That joe track is hott!

I’m digging the Joe song, damn, I can’t get emnough of it. I have to say, the rap also didn’t do it for me, but as for the rest of the song, it’s really dope. I liked Go Hard too, a more mid-tempo tune.

Hey guys, sorry to divert from the topic, thought I should say this. Black Eyed Peas were performing in South Africa over the weekend. I went to their show last night and they killed it. The performances were tighter than last year when they performed here for the first time. Rita Marley joined them on the hit Where Is The Love towards the end and it was just so touching. It was a really nice show.

Nicole’s track is kinda hot…I like the throwback sample using Kraftwerk, and the vocals are pretty tight.

But Joe…BANANAZ! This song hit me the way Mario’s “Let Me Love You” did when it first came out. Joe may not have the same crossover pop appeal, but I predict big things for this song. And to me, Papoose’s verse ain’t that bad.

55.

Monday, May 29, 2006 /

I dont like any of them and I’m not trying to be difficult..lol. I just think they’re all mediocre. I want the old Joe back. This new one doesn’t seem quite right. It’s like when Mariah tried to be young and hip. It’s not her best look and neiter is it Joe’s. I would like to hear him do something more classic. The rest of them…zzzzzzzzzzz.
