Amerie is making her way back on to the scene either late this year or early next. This is a song that’s supposedly been produced by Rich Harrison and in Essence Magazine, has been tagged as a collaboration with Gnarls Barkley. I don’t know if this is really a Gnarls Barkley collabo, but the background vocals are definitely Cee-Lo-ish. This is different than a lot of stuff that’s out now. It’s very energetic and I’m feeling the live instrumentations. A snippet of this was floating around earlier this year. The new things that I’ve heard from Amerie, I’ve liked. Hopefully her project isn’t a flop.
Man I LOVE this song. I’ve heard the snippet. And i was waiting for the whole song to be released. Thanks alot Brian. It’s a HOT! track
Thanks Brian I will give it a listen, but I can almost predict the type of songs you really like.LOL
So IDK if I will like it, but thanks.
I could never get into her music. Something about her does not interest me under no circumstance.
Oh Wee! This is Hawt garbage! Amerie has been slipping. I’ve liked everything of hers up till Touch, the single. And there were plenty of decent songs of her last album. I hope she’s been working on some better material and more importantly removing herself from the same ole rich harrison sound that was officially done to death with B’Day.
i usually love amerie, but this song really showcases her lack of vocal ability. its very disappointing.
Yeah I never really liked Amerie, and I try , but I can’t get into it.
I’m bout to download but I think ppl slept on her last album…I personally thought it was good. Fell of at the end but the first seven song were tight.
I really like Been gone by Keshia Chante you should post that.
I don’t know I’m not a fan of Amerie I didn’t like One thing either. This is okay but it doesn’t do it for me.
I like it…but it’s not first single material. I love the ending tho lol cute
I fucks with Amerie. This song has a little of that “Deja Vu” funk. Not bad.
the song’s a bit off for me…i liked amerie’s one thing though =)
NOT A FAN, BUT SHE IS GORGEOUS THOUGH!!
I’m lovin it! All you Amerie haters talkin bout she can’t sing need to go take a big look at Ciara and know that Amerie is way better. Go head Amerie!
AMERIE, From the heart PLEASE SIT DOWN AND LET IT GO.
I can’t stand those Amerie haters in here. This song is fiyah and very unique, Amerie should get props for that.
And no it’s not a Rich Harrison production. That’s wrong. Cee-Loo and Amerie produced it together. Which shows again how much involved she is right now, i love that, she makes her own thing.
um trina neither of them can sing. amerie is worse. but she is pretty, but that doesnt matter. and she need to stop that watever sound she trying to do.
it aint that different. got a b day vibe to me. she was beat to the mark
and most singers co produce their music
It’s ok….nothing extraordinary.
das right, amerie… dc represent!
She always has GREAT material but she is clearly tone def. i’d love to hear this sung by someone w/ a little more soul in their voice.
I like her last CD. My fave songs are “Falling” and “Not The Only One”. And how is the Rich Harrison sound done to death on B’Day when Swizz Beats produced most of her CD.
Not feeling this song though, it’s too simple and doesn’t have that certain infectious groove that Amerie’s 1st singles usually have.
Why dont we Fall In Love was the bomb, and 1 thing was crazy. This? I dunno.
ok, its getting cold out, I wish she would stop wearing those panty shorts. Its taking away from her ladiness.
I like Amerie but I’m still in debate about this song…it’ll probably grow on me.
Sounds like a reject B’Day track, Beyonce would have been better singing it.
Let me be, I wants to be, gots to be, your Sugamama!
I was gonna download it, the preview was playing and I cancelled it…………Amerie is NOT growing as an artist or trying anything new. This song sounds so basic, like some begginer shit. I’m not a fan but I know she can do better and that she has nice range. This song is very weak. She’s been out for long enough to do better than this.
TERRIBLE! she can’t sing for SH!T and its sooo sad how some of you are defending this WHACK a$$ track!
PAHLEAAAAAASE!
Amerie, PLEASE go back to where you were before you even thought you were a singer..
Thank You!
I think its a good song. It wasnt like deja vu that made my hears hurt as soon as i heard it.
The only thing lackin in the song is wider vocals skills and attitude. i think Nicole of the Pussycat dolls probably would have pulled it off better or even beyonce, christina aguilera.
Hot garbage is too nice for this latest offering from Amerie. I get an artist wanting to be different but this shit is just that…shit!!!
we must hav listened to different songs cus this is a HOTT ASS MESS! all her songs are awful (apart from 1thing and the other 1)
talent-LESS
Co-sign with #3 and #6.
I’m not feeling this track or the vocals. She sounds terrible.
The song is not bad at all. But what is it with fishnet?
I DIDNT GET TO HEAR THE SONG YET BUT I JUST WANTED TO SAY @ THE PEOPLE SAYIN IT SOUNDS LIKE A B-DAY REJECT SONG…AMERIE PRETTY MUCH DID THE LOUD GO-GO SOUND BEFORE B-DAY EVEN DROPPED ALL OVER “TOUCH.” BEYONCE TAPPED INTO IT WITH CRAZY IN LOVE BUT AMERIE TOOK IT A STEP FURTHER WITH HER WHOLE ALBUM. THEN BEYONCE “WAS INSPIRED” “COPIED” “BIT” “PAID TRIBUTE” “PAID HOMAGE” WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT TO THE SOUND ON B-DAY. SO I’D SAY IT A “TOUCH” LEFTOVER.
The Go-Go sound comes from DC. Amerie is from the MD/DC area and so is Rich Harrison.
I ABSOLUTELY LUV AMERIE! SHE’S A TALENTED ARTIST, AND THE PEOPLE THAT DON’T REALLY CARE FOR HER DON’T BECAUSE SHE’S NOT A MEDIA WHORE LIKE BEYONCE, AND SHE’S NOT FLAMBOYANT AND SHE’S NOT DATING ANYONE FAMOUS, AND WE DONT KNOW ALOT ABOUT HER LIFE! PEOPLE NEED TO GET A GRIP!
wow.
what’s with all the negativity towards this song? this track is beyond HOT! her voice sounds raspy and nice and the guitar riff is addictive. some of you guys wouldn’t know good music if it hit you in the face.
this is how beyonce should have made her comeback, not with that whack @ss “deja vu” crap which has absolutely no energy at all. and FYI, the unfinished clip of this song has been out looooong before “B day” dropped, like a year and a half so some of you can stop insinuating that she copied.
I think it’s a dope song. She’s kind of a mixture of MJB and Brandy, vocal wise. And she can definately sing, this song just doesn’t showcase that, but if you copped her first disc you’d know. Y’all need to leave that girl alone and let her do her. I smell a handful of Beyonce stans up in here *rolls eyes*.
Who the hell just asked “what’s with the fishnets!” Dammit, it’s an outfit, shit, we wouldn’t wear it, but celebrities where alot of things we don’t wear, and i think this is for a photoshoot. Amerie looks cute in this outfit.
Hell, everybody was defending Bey’s fat ass when she was wearing them SPANX to make herself appear much smaller! In fact, she was wearing two pairs of spanx at one time, one of them were disguised as fishnets…the gushing wind gave away this secret, when she couldn’t hold her dress down…and Bey stans were arguing talking about they were just little shorts under her dress that went with her outfit, yeah right! Them were control top undergarments! And though it’s nothing wrong with that, Stans will take up any cause and make it something else.
OMG SMH @those Beyoncé fans trying to put Beyonce in a good light.
Beyonce COPIED Amerie, she has luck that Amerie is still cool with her. And “Take Control” was even recorded before any track from BDay was made, so ya’ll better shut ya mouths!
Hit, Hit, Hit, that’s all i gotta say.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Amerie’s 1st cd! Like that one was hot, the second cd I never really got into..but her 1st was definately the better of the two. I wish she would of came out with more songs tho. I hope her next cd isnt a flop cuz I like Amerie as an artist
Man this track is dope, it might not be as commercial as “1 Thing” though it still is a powerful track. The guitar riffs are crazy & so is the intro! It just takes a little while to get used to but thats all. By the way, Amerie does have a beautiful soul voice, shes got that similar technique to James Brown & thats why I love her.
Haters can bounce wo0T!
Oh and I truly believe Amerie wouldnt copy B-Day..shes been on Go-Go WAY before Beyonce.
Many people loved Amerie’s first cd, but I thought her second one was a lot better. Didn’t care too much for the single “Touch” though.
And yes, this song is different from what’s playing on the airwaves right now but I think it’s what radio needs to make it fun again. Learn to think out the box for once. And you Beyonce stans need to get off of Amerie’s clit. She’s been doing go-go long before Beyonce so y’all can stop with that mess. Beyonce is doing Beyonce, so let Amerie get hers.
Oh, and I LOVE this track by the way! Thanks for posting!
i love amerie, but i’m not feelin this track, i’m waiting for the full version of “some like it”.
this track is mad crazy, but i dug the other clip of hers that leaked a while back even more. i think it was called “that’s what you are.” the beat was hard and smooth like no other.
@ 34 IM FROM DC. I KNOW THAT. MY POINT WAS AMERIE WAS ON THAT SOUND BEFORE B-DAY DROPPED SO THE PEOPLE SAYIN THIS SONG IS A B-DAY REJECT SHOULD BE SAYIN ITS A TOUCH LEFTOVER INSTEAD.
not really feeling this that much, the beat could use a little more umph and be a little faster, the arrangement of the chorus was good and the writing was good, just something about the music i wasn’t feeling and i am usually a fan of live instruments, it’s a throwback vibe i’m not really feeling.
See, this is what urks me on this blog, just because some people said they didn’t like the song they are some “haters” remember to each is his own people.
this song is almost a throwback to the funk era. noone knows what funk is anymore and i feel amerie for trying to bring it back. do ya thang girl!
really feelin this song
This song was sooooooooooo boring I fell asleep halfway through the first chorus. Her vocals are bland, the tempo is bland and there’s nothing here that makes me want to listen to it twice. It’s not even the type of joint that would “grow” on me, no matter how much it’s played.
Amerie is NOT a good singer in any respect. Her voice has a slightly unique tinge to it and that’s the only reason she has lasted this long in the game (album wise). It’s a mix of false vibratto and screeching cat. This is why “Why Don’t We Fall In Love” worked so well. And while I appreciate her style and the fact that she is trying to do something different musically by adding a lot of instrumentation, it simply doesn’t work on this track.
That is all.
Peace.
LUVVV IT!!
UGH!! WHY IS IT WHEN I GO ON CONRETE LOOP THAT BITCH BEYONCE IS IN EVERY POST?? I MEAN I HATE HER TOO SHE GETS ON MY DAMN NERVES AND B’DAY WAS WACK BUT PLEASE STOP BRINGING HER UP!!! I CANT STAND THE WOMAN ANY MORE!!ITS ASIF THE PEOPLE THAT DISLIKE BRING HER UP THE MOST..GOTDAMN!! LET THE HEFFA BE!
anyways.. aint feeling this track onlyn ever liked One Thing..
funky and fresh.
two thumbs up.
I have never been a fan of Amerie’s voice at all, but I hope she has success with this album.
The song is ok. Different from what’s out now, but not a new sound. I’ve listened to the song twice; it’s ok. It may grow on me.
Amerie is not from DC. She lived her for a while as she has lived other places.
Who ever said why does Beyonce’s name have to come up in every damn topic, I agree. It don’t make no sense. Another thing is why is it when a person doesn’t like something they are called a “hater”?
Her vocals are BLAND…
She seems outta tune at some parts…
WOMP WOMP!
I like you peacekeeper! And yeah Amerie is not from DC, she also lived here in Norfolk, Va. near Old Dominion University. She was a military brat so she was here and there.
i’m confused. how do some of you not like this song, but like the crap ciara, letoya, and monica puts out?
