THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW
Tuesday, April 3, 2007

Eve - Tambourine (full) - download
I can’t front, I’m fond of Eve’s new single. I knew with all these guest appearances, Eve was about to come back to music. But she’s no longer with Ruff Ryders, Eve is back on Aftermath with Dr. Dre. I’m eager to see what this album with consist of. “Tambourine,” the new single, is produced by none other than Swizz Beats. It’s been a good year for him.
Brooke Valentine - Show Stopper (full) - download
This is some new material from Brooke that I was sent via e-mail. I don’t have any idea what’s going on with her project - it’s been in the works for some time now. Remember, the first single, “Dope Boy” that she came out with forever ago? Well, apparently this new material is from that same album - and I posted that song when I first started working for CL. I don’t know whether it’s her or the label. Either way, “Show Stopper” is nothing to go wild over.
Ciara feat. Rod & Polow Da Don - Get Up (Remix) (full) - download
I’ve posted this remix before, and it was pretty much a long time ago. However, this is the CD quality. I was kind of tired listening to the low quality version so I’m posting it pretty much for people who are interested in having the HQ version of this song. Honestly, this is one of my favorite remixes, I still listen to it all the time.
Kelly Rowland feat. Sean Paul of Youngbloodz - Like This (Remix) (full) - download
Not sure how I feel about this song. I will be completely honest, I hated “Like This” (the original version) at first, but it definitely has grown on me. However, this remix does not improve upon the song. And you know how I feel about that. I have a feeling that this isn’t going to grow on me, either. I’m gonna have to stick to the original.

Eve is my girl, the track is ok, expected something more on another level from her since she’s been out of the game for a minute.
Brooke’s and Ciara’s tracks were nice.
Kelly no, like the original version way better.

The fact that those look like four different pictures of the same woman show just how generic the music industry has become…It has become as shallow as the modeling/fashion industry only set to a hip hop track….
A Mess !!!!!!

hate Eve’s song, the lyrics are not good.
Brooke valentines is ok
Didn’t we hear this Ciara song before like 20 months ago? Hated it then, hate it now.
I like the original “Like This” better. I will be getting Kelly Rowlands album.

#9, if you had read the review of it, I said that I was posting the high CD quality version because only a low-quality rip had been floating around. reading is fundamental…

(clearing throat while taking a seat preparing to drop my 2cents) *ahem*
EVE: Both the beat and hook are hot, but as for the actual content of the rhymes……E-V-E can do so much better…..quite dissapointing.
CiCi: The song is “iight” nothing spectacular…just “iight”.
smh@ them stealing “freak me baby” from Silk
Is that Polow singing w/her? And how come everytime we see him on TV or in photos it always looks like his cornrows need to be re-done?
Ms. Kelly: I dont really care for either version of the song…….still love you though Kelly! Waiting for you to bring the heat!!!!
*in Russell Simmons voice* “Thank you all for coming out. God Bless. Good night.”

@10 (Brian)
DANG! Oh so its like that Brian LoL?? I’m just saying I don’t like “Get Up” and maybe you should’ve put something else up cause that song is ancient even if its just a better quality version. Put “Can’t Leave Em Alone” or whatever her next single is instead. But thank you for the free music, everyone and I appreciate it. Still don’t like “Get Up”

They all are marginal.
However, I did hear a remix of one of Ciara’s Evolotution joints (not Promise, not Like A Boy, not Make it last forever,) in H & M of all places a few days ago. IT was HOT! Does anyone happen to know what that might be?
Her album has been remixed both officially and unofficially so many times I can’t keep track.

Eve will probably grow on me.
“Show Stopper” is actually a SNIPPET, Brian. I swear your posts irk me.
Okay, if you already posted the damn Ciara song, why are you re-posting it? Does the name of this post NOT say NEW music review? Damnit Martin! And then it’s only :08 seconds long. You may need to be fired!
And the K. Rowland was only 2:00, that does not constitute a full song.

@ #28 I agree, Brooke song “Pimped Out” is hot. That should have been posted. I also thinks she has a very nice voice but sometimes the song she chooses dosen’t do it(her voice) any justice.
I really like how yall are pushing Kelly (probably because she’s beleive to be a nice girl)to do well even though she hasn’t brought any serious heat. Too bad yall don’t support other singers that way.
Don’t care for Eve
Ciara…no comment

Eve, track is garbage. I love the girl but she needs come harder. Damn shame!
Brooke V, it was “Dope Girl” and not “Dope Boy” Brian. Anyway the song sucks.
Kelly, garbage.

Reality Check
Tuesday, April 3, 2007 /
I agree with Shante.
Considering what she said in the interview and all, it’s almost oxymoronic for her to drop this..
And I hate to take it even further, but this is DISPOSABLE..

Kelly- i just believe she has something, she just hasn’t tapped into it yet
Eve- Gosh, just don’t know
Brooke- not feeling it be respect the effort
Ciara- i love the growth, this girl has come up and i have nothing bad to about progression.
59.

Tuesday, April 3, 2007 /
ciara’s is banging.
Kelly, nice try but I still like you. I don’t like it when she tries to be ghetto in her songs. Her songs sound better when she’s grown and sexy.
Eve, boo you almost did it. the beat and hook is gonna take the song far though.
And, I thought I was the only one who thought Brooke V. left the biz alone. But I doubt she will break Olivia’s record for the longest wait for an album to drop. She should be in guinness! No Bullshit!

Eve= Str8 nothing to go crazy over
Brooke V.= Already heard not hot BTW* Brooke’s song was “Dope Girl” not “Dope boy”
Ciara= Damn they kinda late on this remix I like the “Like A Boy” remix better
Kelly= I Like Kelly but I think I like the original better

I just hope the new artists that come out bring it. The music this year its not hitting the spot for me. Still waiting for Avriel and Drake to hit the scene. My views on the tracks though:
Eve - Ohkay. Only listened to it for a minute and something seconds
Ciara - Its a nice track
Brooke V - Didnt listen to the track
Kelly R - Didnt listen to the track
Any hoot. I agree with #33 about the “MYA & BEYONCE” sitch.

The Like This remix is fire…….. I like the original too because it got the DC go-go thing going on.
The Brooke Valentine song is cool.
The get up remix I like but I thought Palow tha Don was a rapper and not a singer.
Tambourine is straight.

Eve’s track just proves why she is the best female MC in the biz. This track will put Eve back on top where she belongs, and I hope the whole CD is full of hot dance tracks like this. Getting back with Dre was probably the best move Eve could have made.
