THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

   

Monica feat. Swizz Beatz – Raw (full) – download
The full-length LP, “The Makings of Me” from Monica leaked about a day ago. I really like the new album, even though, much like “B’Day,” it only has 10 songs. But each track, I’m digging. I LOVE this song. It displays Monica’s voice and Swizz Beatz’s versatility as a producer. I also haven’t heard him rap in a long time. I’m really digging this song from Monica. The album is sick, I will definitely be supporting her on Tuesday.

Fantasia – When I See U (full) – download
I’m digging the production on this, I think Fantasia is stepping her game up on this new album. But with pipes like that, how could she not? I’m really digging this song from Fantasia, I like it a lot more than that “Hood Boi” track that’s supposedly slated to be the next single. I’m sure that her album will do well. And I think she transitioned smoothly from “American Idol Winner” to actual recording artist, whereas others didn’t make the transition so well.

Omarion feat. Pharrell – Obsession (full) – download
Looks like for Omarion’s new album, he’s hooked up with The Neptunes again, which was probably a good look, considering that “Touch” was such a huge hit one his last album. This song is a pretty good Neptunes jam. Omarion, again, with the nasal voice, but like I said, I’m still kind of digging his new material. You can hear Pharrell’s voice all over the chorus. I wish him look on this new album.

Shanice – So Sexy (full) – download
“So Sexy” is our girl Shanice’s new single from her latest album, “Every Woman Dreams.” The beat to this song is really sick, but doesn’t really show off Shanice’s vocal ability. But it’s a club song, so I understand. I sort of get a little Neptunes/Lil’ Jon vibe from it. I’m interested to know who produced this. It sort of reminds me of something one Janet’s “20 Y.O.” album as well, because of the vocal delivery.

    fanny’s got that heat

  2. Sean

    I Love that Monica Song, & the Omarion Song. I like The Shanice Song too, I love her “When I Close My Eyes” days, i was really diggin her then

  3. That Monica-feat.Swiss Beats,I’m feeling.I plan on getting her new CD,based on this and “When the Beat Drops” alone. The track is hot and Monica’s vocal never disappoints! But is the sample being used,I know I have heard it before@ the beginning of the track.something about it sounds familiar.

    Thanks for this one!*thumbs up*

  4. nate

    I missed Monica, I really like Fantasia;s song, i hope she releases it.

  5. EsqMrs

    monica’s got that heat too. she may be a contender as the first cd i buy this year. actually the last cd i bought was faith’s last lp.

  6. Ezra

    I dont know about monica….I feel like she sold out a little bit…cashing in on that whole snap craze…she’s a real artist…unfortunately …real artists dont sell much…so I guess that why she collabed with DFB

  7. EsqMrs

    check out the other songs on that site….she still got it..its just a buzz song. unfortunately like whitney they tried to make her sweet pop and she’s sooo ghetto

  8. Will

    WHOA!!! im soo happy to see tasia’s new song!!! i really hope she makes this the single.. i can see this on TRL or something like that because it sounds very mainstream!!!…

  9. handsomefella

    I LIKE THE MONICA SONG. HOT. FANTASIA, OK. IM DOWNLOADING OMARION NOW, HOPE ITS HOT CAUSE PEOPLE CANT REALLY GO WRONG WIT A NEPTUNES BEAT

  10. MIke

    Not really Feelin the MOnica or the Shanice song because I feel the songs they are singing are so much smaller than them….Damn Tasia’s comin back strong

  11. malcolm

    Fantasia is just wasting her talent those songs is not for her. with that voice, she needs some good ballards where she can use her voice.
    she need better producers these producers dont fit her style these are producers are producers for 106 and park and she has more talen than that.
    she needs david foster & dianne warren to write good songs for her

  12. SF

    monica song is avg, let me hear something that matches “aint gonna cry no more”, “so gone” or “dont gotta go home” and i’ll give it to up to her. Shanice track is crazy generic .. please don’t let me hear that familiar chord progression with the same “kick .. kicksnare .. ki, kick .. snare” pattern again and call the song “So Sexy”, a classic example of whats wrong with music, not rnb or hiphop, MUSIC in general. Peep Chingy’s album for a further example. I haven’t heard an album so generic in years.

    Props to producers such as Polow, Timbaland and Will.I.AM for pushing the envelope at the mo. A bunch of others i wont mention but these replicate mahfuckas really need to step their shit up.

    Yet to hear a great single from Fantasia and the Omarion joint gave me hell trying to load. I’m sure its the best out of the 4 without hearing it.

  13. ashleigh

    b’day only has 10 songs…wat the….bun dat den i was gonna buy it today too.

  14. Go_Shanice

    I LOVE THAT SHANICE TRACK!!!

    Thats the song Janet Jackson uses to rehearse on her DVD for her new cd. I wonder why I dont see Shanice’s name or credit anywhere in the booklet…hmm

    anyway THE SONG IS HOT!!! I have Shanice’s album too..its FIYAH!!! The song is produced by a team called PMG

  15. Cory

    That Fantasia song is HOT! HOT! HOT! She breaks it down at the end! Shanice’s is cool. Not feeling Omarion’s or Monica’s.

  16. Ezra

    b’day is worth buying…

  17. meme

    Fantasia does have a song with Diane Warren on her upcoming cd called “I FEEL BEAUTIFUL” so be on the lookout!

  18. Tracey

    MONICA AND FANTASIA ARE HOT!!!!!

  19. L•O•V•E

    I’m really not feeling Fantasia’s new one. It makes “Truth Is” sound like a classic. I don’t think the song would do too well commercially. I want to enjoy it. But I’m like I said I am not feeling it.

  20. the best song on there is fantasias!!

    omarions and monicas are ok

    i dont like shanice’s song….why da hell is she whispering? i dont like it.
    def not sexy

    i hate when ppl who come back out settle and try to sound like whats out nowadays ie. shanice, toni braxton, def not sexy

  21. Nit

    Fantasia song is hot, She will sang this song live
    just as she recorded, and then some more. This song
    got it, hurry up with the video. I am feeling this
    very much. Go Fantasia. Oh Bday cd was all that, we
    brought it. We will be buying Fantasia CD.

  22. pk

    “I wish him look on this new album.” you spelled luck wrong Brian

  23. Jenn

    I’m feelin’ Fantasia’s song becuz it’s sayig something. I’m not even going to try and listen to the other’s becuz Omarion is for the young girls and Monica and Shanice haven’t consistently put out good songs in years.

  24. RealZiggy

    The songs from Fantasia and Omarion are HOTT!!

    the others are ok…

  25. Mel

    Goooooooooooooooo, Monica…Dats my GIRL…

  26. carolinawhenyouspeak

    Love Fantasia!!! She’s not yelling. She has so much control over her voice. This song is so damn hott to me!!!

  27. aj29258310

  28. brownsugah305

    Shanice’s whole album is good IMO

    Im downloading Monica’s album now, but will be at the store Tuesday morning!!!!

  30. SweatMeLater

    Fantasia does it again! This girl can sang! It seems like she’s taking a different approach to her music-doing things her way. I’m feeling this one, go head Tasia!!!!!!

  31. I Listened to the Monica Jouint 4 times before I made this Post. (Hell, I listening to it as I Type) This song is HOT! I thought when she put out that garbage song that she fell of, Its nice to see she prove me wrong.

  32. Okay that’s it..I’m buying monica’s CD on tuesday.

  33. Alex

    its funny that you mention the Janet sound for the Shanice song…she actually used this from her auditions for 20 y.o dancers. AMAZING. its on her deluxe edition dvd. go buy that please. thanks.

  34. Lea Lea

    Monica’s song is good.

    Omarion’s song is kinda boring, and his vocals are never on point.

    Fantasia’s song is nice

    Shanice’s song is very mediocre, not feeling it at all.

  35. Niecey

    Fantasia’s new song is hott. I like this one better than the other one also. I can’t wait till she performs this live.

    I am so excited for her new album.

  36. i listened to 45 secs of that fantasia song and was like yeah im buying it haha

    i actually didnt like the monica song, i luv her though!! its jus im not a fan of this “uber hip-hop” shih that she’s doing i want to hear a few ballads from this cd

    hated the omarion song, i mean really neptunes only hav one base beat and they jus mix shih in, i mean really it’s like going to qdoba!!! u can order a taco salad a burrito or quesadilla!! its all gonna hav the same shih in it haha**

  37. I love the Fantasia aong, sounds really good.

    I like the Shanice song too, quite different from what she’s done before.

    Omarion song is ok.

    The same goes for Monica’s song.

  38. simplyTHEtruth

  41. hdizzle

  42. TASIA LOVING IT…

    MONICA COME ON MAN…..

  43. SHANICE….COME ON NOW..WHAT ISTHAT

  44. Candy

    I can’t wait for Monica CD to drop i’m a Huge fan. I think she is one of the best singers of my time.Along with Shanice,Deborah Cox,Tamia,Terry Dexter and (Toni Braxton lil sister)Tamar.Anyways i hope and pray Monica Cd do well.

  45. Niecey

    I love that Fantasia song —keep listening to it over and over again.

  46. MissTee2U

    The Monica and FAntasais songs are average, I really expected more from FAntasia….
    But on the other hand I was kinda feeling the Donnell Jones joint that was grouped with them on the download.
    I’d love to know if anyone else thinks that EVERY album so far this year was lacking something. I have to say I skipped out on Danity Kane and Cassie which have been sitting in my house unplayed.

    Lyfe: Cool, but not great.
    INdia.Arie…good listening good songs but still….something
    Christina Aguilera: Great songs, but too long
    Beyonce – fun car driving record, but badly sequenced (order of songs wasn’t the best) enjoyable but not great
    Janet – A few really good songs…but definitely a notch under previous classics…

    It’s like everyone has put out joints that were varying degrees of good, or had their moments but one really good album or instant classic, havent’ heard it yet…

    What do y’all think?????

  47. juslistenpleez

    I’m really loving Fantasia’s and Monica’s song. I’m waiting on both cd’s! This is a great music season for me! I’m gonna run out of money. First Beyonce, JT, Luda, Young Dro, and now Fantasia and Monica! Yay for me!

  48. Heavensent

    Monica cd is indeed Fiyah …be sure to cop it

  49. Misstee2u,

    I agree. You mentioned Donnell Jones…please get his cd asap. His album Journey Of A Gemini is the shit. You won’t be disappointed.

  50. SoSoSweet

    Hi Everybody I have one thing to say,i think Shanice is one of greatest singers period! the girl can blow. It buggs me out so much the fact she always OVERLOOK.I don’t know why but it so true. I’ve been a fan of Shanice every since. Can you Dance,Inner Child,21 ways to grow,Shanice,and Every Woman Dreams alot of you’ll might not know nothing about her music. And that download (So Sexy) is not really showing what she’s all about (vocal)the girl can reallllllllly SANG no joke. And I’m not talking about singing like Ashanti,Brandy,Brittney Spears,Ashley Simpson,Ciara,and poor little Cassie. They could only sing in Hi-Tech studios. When its time for them to sing live they need to run and HIDE.

  51. Candy

    Monica is telling all these Fake R&B girls to sit it on Down.Her Cd is going to be so freakin Sick on Tuesday,I can’t wait to open my CD.

  52. chuck

    Damn Tasia is BACK!!!!!!!!!
    Her vocals are the best so much passion i am loving this new song!!!!

  53. Erica

    I like the Monica and Fantasia song but the Omarion song has to grow on me.
