THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

Kelly Rowland - My Every Thought Is You (Addicted) (full) - download
Now that we’ve gotten Beyonce out of the way, haha! We can move on to Miss Rowland. I think that this song is probably one of the best that’s been released from the leaked Kelly Rowland songs. It’s rumored to be produced by Bryan-Michael Cox, and if that’s true, I’m not surprised, because he’s really been doing his thing! I’m loving this song, it’s got a nice slow groove, and I dig the way the her voice floats over the song.
Kelis - Like U (full) - download
This wouldn’t be a bad song if it weren’t for that completely obnoxious vocal sample. I’ve liked most of the Kelis material that’s leaked (”About to Hate Me,” “Emergency”) but this one doesn’t really do anything for it. Kelis’s voice has never really impressed me but the performance and the delivery just doesn’t do anything for me either. And the sample, for me, just kills it. And I don’t mean that in a good way.
3LW - Do You (full) - download
This track leaked a long time ago, but I figure it might be new to a lot of people. I’m really feeling this song, but mainly because Rich Harrison is on the production, with his gogo inspired, bongo-thumping, horn-sampling beats. It’s a pretty good song. But usually, the lead singer’s voice is more distinct to me, and I can’t really tell who’s singing lead for the most part on this song.
Cherish - That Boy (full) - download
Okay, this is more of what I’d expected from them. I’m digging this song a little more than the previous one that I’d posted. This is a Jazze Pha-produced track. I was actually sort of worried since tracks just started leaking recently. I was wondering when their album was going to begin to take shape, since “Do It To It” is doing fairly well on radio.

I can’t believe they pushed Kelly’s CD back. I like this song. How can they think that Beyonce shit is a hit but this is not. Because it’s not a booty shakeing song does not mean it’s not good.
Kelly needs new management. Matthew is holding her back. If you didn’t believe it before, definitly believe it now. She should have dropped her CD. Dam Matthew is a hater. She needs to get some new management.
Love Kelis style, hate her music. Nice to see 3LW makeing a come back. This song is better than Bee’s to. The ladies are coming strong for the summer.

ILike the 3LW track they are kind of surprising me with the material that I have been hearing lately…. Kelly she just needs to leave the solo thing to letoya cause Beyonce casts a long shadow over her dark and lovely ass..

P.S.
I’m not hating on the group Cherish, but they all sound like Ciara to me…. Their song sounds like Ciara’s song to me “Oh”. . . . But hey maybe it’s just me….
I still like their music regardless whether they sound like Ciara or not. . . .
They’re still doing that damn thing….

I am feeling DeJa Vu… it’ll grow on me. She isn’t screaming. I can see why she wants an all female live band. This song would be crazy live.
KELIS is the ish- Period.

Well Kelly’s track is kl, it’s true bout her voice meltin over the beat. So silky, beautiful. N the 3LW’s cut I was waitin 4 this song 2 c if I would b impressed bt since it’s produced by Rich Harrison I’m biased. The beat is kl n ma head jst found itself boppin 2 this. However, the singin ain’t all dat bt then I ain’t never REALLY loved 3LW bt e’erybody has gt 2 put bread on the table right! I luv Jazze Pha, he da man. I kinna like Cherish, dey cute n I knw this track is gon grow me n beat is creepin in2 ma head. BUT I LUV Y’ALL @ CONCRETE LOOP IF WASN’T 4 Y’ALL HW ELSE WOULD I KEEP UP WIT THE HOT ISH A GWAN IN THIS BIDNESS, HOLD IT DOWN! *MWAH* yo girl Iké

Kelis!…Damn Sweetie, not to covet another man’s wife but, Bravo, Bellisimo, Manifique’…Do you, Baby-girl. *Nas and all of the Bravehearts raid office and pistol whips ghostposta like R. Kelly in ‘Downlow’ video, and breaks both of my legs*
Kelly ‘babycakes’ Rowland! she can sing and her time will come. *looks at pic* *smh*…and that NFL cat, Roy Williams isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. I would have ‘Marc Jacob bagged’ babycakes in a sec. Dallas Cowboys suck anyway. *Dallas Cowboys starting offensive line breaks into my office and breaks both my arms…T.O. cries, I still manage to give them ‘the finger’ as they leave*
“3″ oh-hel”L”-no, “W”?…Might as well bring back SWV. *thinks of the Summer where SWV had that track w/ Wu-tang*…*door to office burst open and lead singer of SWV, Coa-Coa, comes in and scratches my face, neck, chest, and back, with long nails* *funny thing is it hurts so good*
Cherish?…the members of this group will remember the day their album drops, as the day they had their opportunity…but blew it. Not impressed at all with Jazzy Phe’s track either. He should be ashamed of himself for putting this recycled beat out. He can do better *thinks about beat he did for BIG w/ Nelly* *Jazze Phe breaks into office and smacks me in the face and strong-arms me for my danish*
…ok…time to get back to work…lives need saving. *unbuttons dress shirt, superman emblem emerges*

You guys are so funny… Now if Kelly’s album dropped now and flopped you would blame Matthew so shut the fuck up he’s the least of her problems… Everybody who heard her album said it was a shitty mess so to me it was in Kelly’s best interest to go back to the lab and come back with the hotness she is most capable of bringing!!!
That said,this song is okay, but Kelly needs to bring some FIYAH, because she does not have a solid fan base as a solo artist!!! She needs to make people really believe in her! And if Bey has her album finished and it’s getting rave reviews why not put that out, plus if there ablbums were put out at the same time we all know Bey’s shit would kill Kelly’s cause she has a following… THen ya’ll would be saying “Oh Matthew set Kelly up to fail” Matthew is all about the Benji’s so he is going to want all his artist to succeed so he can get paid, plain and simple!!!

I am a die-hard Kelis fan, and I love the beat of this song– but what the fuck is she talking about? “Pluck my feathers??” That shit sounds painful, and not at all sexy.
Come on Kelis! Try harder!

Ok, I hated the Beyonce track yesterday, but I love it today… I’m tellin y’all this girl got some subliminal hypnosis going on in the background.
I loved the Kelly joint, this chick has so much potential, if she had the right management I think she could be so much more hotter.
The Kelis joint is cool bc it’s Kelis and she does her regardless. The background flute thing got me.
The Cherish joint sounds like Brooke Valentine’s girlfight.
3LW… it was ok, but not as a comeback single. Need to come a little bit harder than that babes.

The Cherish is okay, might be better with a video.
Kelis’ is okay, kinda boring me. I like her Tasty stuff better.
Kelly’s is cool, reminds me of T-Shirt.
3LW’s song I heard before. It’s was supposed to be on their album sometime ago. You can hear their song “Feelin You” on their myspace page or mine^.

______________________________________________________
You are too funny, but no hoe, I ain’t Solange, I’m just stating the facts here! Cause everybody seems to want to blame him for Kelly’s lack of creativity, star power, and good music!!! There is no way that she can be coming from the biggest girl group of all time and can barely sell records… She needs to cast HERSELF out of Bey shadow…She needs to stand on her own two damn feet… She needs to realize her own damn capabilities damn it and then maybe she’ll get some respect and sell some records… I like Kelly just as much as the next person, but she’s a grown ass woman now and she needs to realize her own strengths! No one can hold you back better than YOU!!!
I heard that bull shit album she mad and it sucked!!! Just like her first solo album did!!! She needs to find an identity besides being Bey’s back up singer, take her place in this industry and own that shit!!! SHe’s more than able…

@40 see everyone, Solange is getting all upset again
Throwing temper tantrums like when DC got booed at the Lakers game and when PETA got on her big sis. It’s ok babe, maybe your next album will do better than Kelly’s last one… nah, it won’t. Lol! Only Solange would get so mad, cursing and all.

I have always liked Kelis but I haven’t really liked any of this new stuff. I loved Tasty. I agree with #35 that the material from that album was much better.
As for Kelly, I LOVE the song. I liked the snippet that we heard a few weeks ago. She is beautiful and has a beautiful voice. I see so much potential there. I wish she would leave the Knowles machine alone and find someone who will take her to that next level. She needs a Benny Medina or somebody. If he could do it for Jennifer Lopez and Mariah he could do it for her. BUT…I do agree that this isn’t the right time for her album. She would be completely overshadowed by Beyonce.
