THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW
Wednesday, August 23, 2006

Justin Timberlake - FutureSex/LoveSound (full) - download
I’m sorry, but Justin Timberlake is seriously coming with heat on this next album. I’m very excited. Snippets from the album have leaked, along with the three full tracks (”SexyBack,” “My Love” and now this). Timbaland and Justin are a winning combination, I only wish that he had the oppurtunity to hook up with The Neptunes again. However, I’m eager to hear what he came up with working Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and hip-hop producer Rick Rubin. This song is definitely hot, and again, finds Justin using that “Justified” falsetto.
Brooke Valentine feat. Dem Franchize Boyz - Pimped Out (full) - download
Miss Valentine’s first single, “D-Girl” came out earlier this summer and I haven’t heard anything about her new album, “Physical Education.” But two new songs have leaked recently, one being this one. Nothing much to say about it, it doesn’t do much for me, but I guess it’s friendly for mainstream radio and could pop off in the club. Again, I’m just tired of the whole Franchize Boyz snap thing. They can’t be on everything that comes out for the rest of 2006.
Tank - Love Machine (full) - download
I really love Tank. His music is great and he is just a really well-rounded artist. He does production, he writes, arranges vocals and he has a great voice. I said all that to say that I can’t believe that I’m a little disappointed in this song. I will always support Tank as an artist but this doesn’t reflect his past music or his talent, really. It sounds like just a radio-friendly so that he decided to put out. But honestly, it doesn’t even seem single-worthy.
Kelis - Trilogy (full) - download
My favorite song on Kelis’s new album, “Kelis Was Here,” which dropped Tuesday. This song is randomly produced by Scott Storch, which I really couldn’t tell until I read the liner notes. This is one song from that album where Kelis’s vocal performance does not disappoint. I love the production on Kelis’s album. It’s just something about that voice that really gets to me.

Brian, can you answer the question I had about Janelle Monae/Jerzee Monet on the latest OutKast post? I really was looking for an answer, if you know it.

The Justin T song is HOTT!!!! Wasn’t feeling the Tank song and I’m a HUGE fan of his music but your right, it’s like he was tryin to be radio friendly. Didn’t listen to the other two b/c I dont care for their music in general, just a personal opinion.

I really like that Kelis song. I started listening to the album yesterday but got about 5 songs into it and didn’t like any of it so I stopped. I think I may try to listen to the rest of it.
Ummmm….Justin…it’s ok. It reminds me of Prince one moment and then George Michael the next.

i can’t say enough about Xtina’s CD. I loved it! You would think that both CDs have that 20’s, 30’s feel she has been going for, but not all of the song do. Some of the beats are old school, but with a modern twist. Also, you know she belts it out on the ballads. It is on repeat in my laptop. I highly recommend you buy the CD.

The Justin Timberlake track kinda has an 80’s feel to it. It sounds alright. I think it’ll grow on me.
The Tank track sounds OK. Not his best. “Slowly” was his best song to date IMO. Anyway, he’s still one fine, sexy MF!!!!!!

Um, it downloads as a mp3 for me. Something must be wrong with your computer.

no angela, on mine it is doing the same thing. i can hear the song, but then when I download it, it doesn’t open on itunes.

does it say .mp3 when you download it?
i think yall need a new version of flash or something. because it’s working fine for me. I swear you can never find a perfect audio uploading site. lol!
49.
mizzlizz
Thursday, August 24, 2006 /
yes, it takes longer than usual. it says ‘mp3_download” and then when you are going to open it, it says to choose what application to open with. i choose itunes, and it doesn’t open. the little icon doesn’t look like a music file, it looks like a document.
50.
RobLo
Thursday, August 24, 2006 /
rename it at the end too mp3, lol
Justin is really doing it, I am really diggin his sounds.
51.
Angel.La
Thursday, August 24, 2006 /
Ok I see what you’re saying now. I use FireFox so it just automatically saves as an .mp3 file. For some reason Internet Explorer doesn’t do that.
If you want it to save right, you are going to have name the file extension manually. Just add ‘.mp3′ to the download, name it too so it can be easier in the long run.
example? replace “mp3_download” with “Justin.mp3″. It should work.

I’ve always been a fan of Kelis and this album definitely does not disappoint. Copped it yesterday and has not left my CD player yet. Majority of the tracks are hot and definitely have some knock!!

I’m not into justin like that so I didn’t listen to that one but that kelis joint is one of my favorites from her new album. That joint stays on repeat for me . The tank track is alright. I hope his next album is goood. Brooke V. song is ehh . That is nothing that will set her apart from all the other stuff going on radio. I hope her new album coming out is good. Need better songs than that though.

I love Kelis’ song “Trilogy”! Never been a big Kelis fan (although I do admire her style) but I think I’m going to have to give her new album a listen.

I’m curious as to how a song was “randomly” produced? Kelis pulled Storch’s name out of a hat, or what?

kinda anticipating JT may copp that. Kelis voice is beautiful in its originality. its sumthin thats brash but pretty, its different but i love it. shes like a modern day Tina Turner, Tina was a black woman that did songs out the norm and her voice is rough and gritty but smooth at the same time.
