THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

   

Amerie – That’s What You Are (full) – download
Remember when I posted the snippet to this song and I thought that it was really hot for Amerie? Well, here’s the full song and my opinion still remains. According to an e-mail, this is a B-Side single to “Take Control,” which will have a video shot within the next few weeks. These singles will supposedly be release simultaneously. I like this song ’cause it’s sexy and laid back.

Diddy feat. Fergie – All Night Long (full) – download
This is an iTunes bonus track from Diddy’s “Press Play.” It sounds like Prince, especially since Diddy is trying to use the change of voice thing. I definitely see why this was left off the album, but I’m surprised it was simply because of the Fergie feature. I kind of like this song though. It reminds me of a less-exciting “Erotic City,” one of my favorite Prince songs, featuring the lovely Sheila E. Especially because of it’s extended-ness. Yes. I just made up a word.

JoJo – Get It Poppin’ (full) – download
This is another bonus track from JoJo’s “The High Road.” I like this song, it’s really age appropriate (which I love when I hear that from young artists) and I like the beat. As I’ve said before, JoJo’s voice is undeniable. Anyway, if you want this song, it’s a bonus track from the Wal-Mart edition of the album. It cracks me up how Wal-Mart gets all these exclusives!

Usher feat. Christal Ray & Guerilla Black – Shawty (full) – download
I don’t really too much dig the production of this song, I think it’s a little loud for the vocals. The whole track to me just sounds sort of unmixed. I don’t know, this song just sounds like it was very quickly thrown together. Usher could have kept this, seriously.

  3. miss dee

    aww i love jojoz song and ushers song isnt as bad as i thot it wud be..

  4. MissGood

    I thought Diddy said he didn’t sample anything for the album. That song sure sounds like something off the Purple Rain album.

  5. Crystal

    JoJo’s voice is beautiful

  6. NE-HO FOR NE-YO

    JOJO IS FIYAH! EVERYBODY ELSE BETTER GET THEIR MONEY WHILE THEY CAN CUS JOJO GONNA BE THE TRUTH WHEN SHE GET OLDER IF THE HEAT SHE GOT NOW IS ANY INDICATION. CASSIE, TAKE NOTES BITCH!

  7. Trina

    That Amerie song is fiyyahh!! I love the beat and she finally is singing good.

    I got dat JoJo album and I love it. And the song is nice.

    Diddy please stop rapping, and Fergie stop rappin and singing cause yo ass can’t do either.

    Hmm…Usher, boo boo you makin’ Ne-yo and chris brown look even better with this trash.

  8. Comton_Chick23

    the amerie song is nice

  9. Sean

    on jojo’s song it reminded me of brandy’s afrodisiac the uh oh uh oh part. but i like the song

  10. coccobeans

    amerie song is nice.
    the rest……..

  11. Ack Bad, Don't Hurt Me...

    That Usher track is ug & lee – how do you go from “Confessions” to THIS

  12. Tahiyya

    i love dat girl, amerie…

    but why the beginning of this song’s beat remind me of that one cassie joint??

  13. Jones

    I’m only getting the first 15 seconds of amerie song. Where can I hear the full version?

  14. Soia

    Amerie is coming with straight fiyyah. Damn, That’s What U R is the shit. The beat is hot as hell and her voice sounds so soft and amazing! I love Amerie, always have and always will. I’m definitely getting this album.

  15. brittney

    hmmm dont know why..but that jojo song sounds like a imitation of another song i have heard

    amerie………booooo!!!

    usher…..man i knew his time was up

  16. Styleicon

    I’m sorry but I think all these Diddy songs would be great if they all excluded Diddy.

  17. Comton_Chick23

    Just fast forward through diddy’s WACK RAPS and listen to the other good (Nas) rappers and singers on that “press play” cd

  18. Puffy face made me not want to listen to his song, sorry, lol

  19. oz

    that amerie joing is fuckin BLAZIN!!! the beat is something nas or jay z would spit over, but when amerie starts singing it’s like whaaat. she does the damn thing. can’t wait till we get a high quality version.

  20. Lady J

    I like that Amerie, it fiyah. Two thumbs up.

  21. Music News

    Amerie – Sexy!

    Diddy – Very very good dance, I love the Prince/If I Was Your Girlfriend claps in the back. Loves Fergie too.

    Jojo – So cute, such a sweet young’n.

    I didn’t even listen to Usher.

  22. dustin

    That Amerie track is CRAZY! I read that The Buchannans produced it. Sounds like Ameries take on “Rock The Boat”. It’s on fire. This song is gonna do the damn thing at radio.

  23. Sista Toldja

    Get it Amerie! I’m not her biggest fan, but her singles have been consistently cool. “One Thing” was def. hot until it got played the fuck out. I’m feelin this for real!

    Puffy+ Fergie= nausea. Neither of these people need to make music. This was some wack ass boring shit. It did make me think of Prince, as in “This Prince rip-off sucks. Nobody can do it like Minnesota Purple!”

    Usher- This song is narcoleptic. He sucks. I hate his cockiness. He can sing and dance, but I really want him to 1) get his own dick out his mouth and 2) get some new producers.

    Jojo- Mmmm, no thanks. But her voice is decent. Not my cup of white tea, though.

  24. What happened to SendSpace, Brian? I thought you were using that now.

    IDK about you guys, but I think that poll should be what file sharing site works best for you? This is getting crazy now.

  25. DAMIEN

    Damn Angel.La I didn’t know they talked about you in Essence Mag! Hoooolllaaaa!

  26. T

    LOVE Erotic City!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. NubianQueen

    I LIKE Usher’s song…but that might be because during the dowload process for it I clicked on “Dot Com” Instead….online imma make you light up baby if you sign on, Ill make you dot com! Lol

  28. NubianQueen

    Oh yeah…Congrats on the article Angel LA! I lit up when I saw your blog on there and read the piece about it…Congrats! Keep doin’ you!

  29. Tracey

    it cracks me up how Wal-Mart gets excluesives too, but since i moved that’s the only record store to go to…anyway, LOVE the Amerie still and JoJo now! Diddy is wack, that cd seems to be WACK!! and NEXT TO usher, not feeling him at all anymore!

  30. OMG! Yall heifers (the site, lols) are in Essence Magazine!

    Go CL, GO! I’m really proud of you Angel-La.

    *claps*

  31. Lea Lea

    Amerie is so underrated and she does not get the shine that she deserves. Ya’ll should not sleep on Amerie.

  32. Cheezits

    Dont care for the Amerie song. I must be the only one. Tooooo laidback. I am not saying she should come kill me with 808 and horns, but this song does nothing for me. Needs a LOT of plays to grow on me.

  33. Comton_Chick23

    Just listen to it about once mo and you’ll hear why its hot.

  34. JazzyGal27

    That Usher joint might sound better if they take that female off the track. she sounds terrible…wining and shyt!I heard that track before and I heard that that is not even Usher’s track. It suppose to Cristal’s track ft. Usher. If it is her track he should have just left it alone and let her sing it by herself…

  35. Mel

    I doubt pretty much if Usher time is up, I will hear the track as soon as i get home…But, one thing Usher’s time will never be up…SORRY! And if the song sucks, I doubt if he will release it…

    Ush#1FAN_MEL

  36. JazzyGal27

    JoJo’s joint is fiyah!! woooooo!

  37. JazzyGal27

    @39 I totally agree with you! Usher’s time will never be up! Usher is gettin ready to come out and spank all these youngins. Don’t sleep on Usher. Y’all need to get that hate out ur blood..lol

  38. Do I need to see JoJo’s fat chipmunk face in every music post…

  39. Ok, this Amerie track is fire. “All I Have” was my shit when it came out, I loved that album. I was disappointed with “Touch”, though…

    But now that “Take Control” AND this track have leaked, it seems like her new album is about to blaze. Can’t wait.

  40. litana

    subvert you so mean…..she aint got no pumkin face

  41. Tracey

    CAN SOMEONE SEND ME A LINK OF THE POST WHERE HAVOC OF MOBB DEEP IS ON AN ONLINE DATING PROFILE!!

  42. greg

    usher took taht beat and lyrics from the group the atl project.. features cassidy.. their version is way better..

  43. Orion

    That is some unreleased garbage from Usher his first single will be out in December and it is called

    The next album of Usher The Untold Story will be out at the begining of March 2007. The first single Girl You’re Amazin’ will hit the radio at the end of December 2006. So far, the album involves production by Jermaine Dupri and Swizz Beatz.[4] [5]

    SO STOP ACTING LIKE THAT IS GONNA BE ON HIS ALBUM>

  44. Mel

    Well, the Usher song is not all that bad…Maybe the girl could have been dropped from the song…But, it sounds fine to me…Not sure, Usher will be releasing it on his album..But its an OKAY track..

    PS:Is that Heavy D? LMAO! That dude sounds like Heavy D lol…

    USH#1Fan_MEL

  45. oz

    wow. that amerie track is dope! the beat is bananas and her voice fits it perfectly. i’m diggin the whole hard/soft contrast.

  46. Nicole

    Some of ya’ll are SLOOOWWW if that was his first single wouldn’t Brian have a WHOLE post dedicated to him?

    LOTS of artists have unreleased material his first single from his Next album is called GIRL YOUR AMAZIN.

    Some of ya’ll need to get a clue.

  47. ummm

    I highly doubt that song is gonna be on Usher’s next album.

  48. Melody

    I doubt pretty much if Usher time is up, I will hear the track as soon as i get home…But, one thing Usher’s time will never be up…SORRY! And if the song sucks, I doubt if he will release it…

    Ush#1FAN_MEL

    _______________________________________________________

    Thank you he has sold more albums than Beyonce so his time is not up and this song will not be on his next album.

  49. XcuseMeMiss86

    I wanna hear Amerie new track but when I click it, it’s playing a heart beating, kinda creepy, like the ring or something…

  50. The Hater

    That Diddy track sound just like an 80′s Prince B side.

  51. MARVELOUSHAGLER

    THE Amerie AND JO- ARE PRETTY HOT , USHER NEEDS TO GET THAT SONG REMIXED OR REVISED, AND I AM SORRY, BUT THE DIDDY AND FERGIE TRACK COULD DO BIG NUMBERS, FOR THE FACT THAT YOU ALL CAN HEAR A PRINCE FEEL TO IT SGOWS HE IS DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND BEING MORE CREATIVE IN HIS PROCESS FOR HE AND TIMBO ARE DO SOME SIMILAR UPGRADING IN MUSIC AND COLLABORATING. DIDDY/FERGIE HAS THE HUGE POPULARIY DESPITE WHAT SOME MAY THINK ABOUT HIM ON A MIC, WHICH SHOWS HE IS DOING SOMETHING RIGHT IN THE PRODUCTION EFFORT. HE SAYS HIMSELF HE IS A SHOWER SINGER AND HE IS NOT THE BEST RAPPER, OR DANCER, BUT HE IS A GREAT ENTERTAINER, PRODUCER, AND BUSINESS MAN, FOR THAT I THINK WE ALL CAN AGREE. BAD BOY HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME NOW, EVEN THOUGH SOME ARTIST CANT SING AND THE ONES THAT CAN SING GET PUT ON THE BACK BURNER, WHICH IS MESSED UP. AND WITH SUCCES COMES LOVE AND HATE.
    BUT THE SONG HERE IS PRETTY GOOD, AND ITS SHOW DIDDYS MATURE LEVEL IN PRODUCTION SINCE HE IS NOT THE SAME DIDDY THAT USED TO BE THAT BADBOY SINCE THE DEATH OF B.I.G.
    THANKS CL FOR THE DOWNLOAD ON THE TRACK.

  52. greengrl

    Sista toldja what the hell you talking about not your cup of white tea what you’d like her better if she weren’t white how ignorant is that when she got a better voice and range than more than half the black chicks out there. Maybe you should listen to her cover of swv’s weak she did when she was only 13 before you judge

  53. Shaft

    Hey dummies…..Usher didnt even release the song.

    so…yeah.

    and the Amerie song is hot…shes hot…hopefully this just isnt the 1 hot single that she usually has..cause her first album was great.

  54. LLDru32

    Ush song sounds like it’s for a Soundtrack or somethin… trust he will come way betta!!!!

  55. aight im a super prince fan and that diddy song was like a cheap horrible knock-off!! it’s a shame,

    i kinda liked the jojo song, i think i herd it during my preview that i was emailed, it’ pretty good, people sometimes are confused by her, just like christina aguilera b/c they are (or in christina’s case were) packaged as a bubblegum artist, but can sang like theres no tomorrow!!

  56. Dasia

    I’m mad ya’ll talking about Usher like this his first single or something. IT IS CALLED AN UNREALESED SONG.

    Jojo can sing but she doesn’t have the TOp vocalist Pipes like Whitney, Nariah , christina , Patti.
