THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

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.

  1. Eve’s track is fire to me.
    Ciara’s is nice.
    Like This remix, no.
    Pass on Brooke Valentine. Anything she does is wack.

  2. tip

    shes back Here I Am is on its way! I’ve been listening to the track, very catch, a club banger!

  3. Tmommie3

    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.

  4. dj mutha

    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 !!!!!!

  5. lilmaria

    i like eve,s track, and ciara’s track is ok. the rest is blah.

  6. dolemitejones

    #4 damn I didnt realize it until you pointed that out. What upsets me is why these sistas feel gotta rock blonde just appeal to the mainstream.

    Thats why I respect INDIA ARIE she keeps it natural baby

  7. haha

    can we stop hatin cuz the ladies have the money to LOOK GOOD!!…theres nothing wrong wit dyin your hair…besides…you cant please everybody anyway…becuase yall gone find something to say if they hair was black or red!!!

  8. N DA WORDS OF WENDY WILLIAMS

    Never been a fan of CHUBAKKAH, I mean, E.V.E. but I gotta admit the song is HOT… sigh…

  9. 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.

  10. #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…

  11. JL

    Eve’s = don’t like it initially..we’ll see on that.
    Brooke’s = boring
    Ciara = Skipped
    Kelly’s = original is better

  12. Woode29

    Thank God for Limewire…none of these getting my money with that garbage!

  13. So That Diva

    (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.”

  14. Why is Brooke still wasting time in the booth? Everyone else……..ummmmmmm no.

  15. mizzmocha314

    The Eve song is HOTTTTT.
    Brooke-Get another day job
    Ciara- MEH
    Kelly- NO. I like the original better

  16. #14, no that’s not polow singing. his name is rod, he is in a singing group called cavi. you can peep them on myspace: http://www.myspace.com/cavi3 – I believe.

  17. Angel

    Like the Eve Trck
    The original Like this was better so ill pass on the remix
    Brooke Valentine need to sit her boring ass down!!

  18. aaaaaaaaaa

  19. Fruity Pablo

    Tambourine? umbrella? whats next? bottle opener

  20. @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”

  21. theboyabouttown

    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.

  22. Honest Truth

    The Eve track is aiight. Its not a strong return.
    Tell Brooke to please have a seat…..the track is
    weak…

    Ciara……it’s aiight….
    Kelly……..you have got to come Hotter. I know you can – that damn Mathew.

  23. new yorker

    ^^^haha

    but i do like eve’s song (only the beat and hook though)

  24. new yorker

    the haha was for #20 sorry

  25. Fruity Pablo

    Tambourine? the beat is hot but eve can do better than this lyrically. She didnt come with the heat. She is trying to get by on a hot beat.

  26. msblacknasty1

    OH MY gosh you need to upload MARIO ft. Rich Boy – Kryptonite in the next new music review.

    I like that Get Up remix. I’m still bumping that, it’s hot. Ciara is the biznasss!!!

  34. hood_shit

    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.

  35. So That Diva

    #33…

    Damn Tia…..tell’em why you really mad! lol

    Oh and I forgot to comment on the Brooke Valentine song before…… *snapping fingas* HATED IT!”

  36. Ajay

    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 !!!!!!

    Someone needs to switch it up for sure!

  37. msblacknasty1

  40. Samantha

    I’m so bored with music these days. Whatever happened to real music??

  41. Oh & @ 35…LIKE BRIAN SAID HE WAS POSTING THE HIGH CD QUALITY VERSION…..”reading is fundamental…”

  42. dj mutha

    #7 – you missed my point in #4…by a mile actually…

    Please read it over…it has nothing to do with them being finacially able to dye their hair whatever color they want….

    Have a great day ….

  43. Eve track is hott ta def & can’t wait for some more of her new stuff……I really like good ole EVE.

    I even like that Brooke Valentine

    Lovin’ the ciara remix !

    Now Kelly song is a whole ‘nother show – wasn’t feelin’ the original & NOT feelin’ the remix at all.

  44. I FUCK FOR TRACKS

    Curly hair weave? Check
    Fake smile? Check
    Cutest titty top? Check

    They do look the same

    @ Hood Shit, its a quality version.

  45. bonnie

    EVE-Iight
    Ciara-sound da same is any other crap she spittin same whispering
    Brooke-an ok song
    Kelly-is ok to

    Roundup:i wouldnt buy none of those
    and im ready for some new artist’s
    cause everyone is in a cycle
    but much love and respect to they’re hustle
    but is garbage

  46. me

    those girls look nothing alike. no one’s as monsterous as eve is sorry.

    what you need to do is why beyonce is morphing into lil kim and pam anderson

  47. Freaky Girlz

    not really feeling the tracks on this review.

  48. Freaky Girlz

    lol at number 13.

  49. H-Town Chic***

    @ #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

  50. 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.

  51. Reality Check

    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..

  52. Reality Check

    Chanté I mean..whoops! haha

  53. Chanel Chic

    BDay Deluxe hit stores today go get it.

  54. Chante`, makes you wish she put out “Cashflow”, huh?

  55. Ms. D

    damn ppl really dont know how to let things go i mean if u dont like a song move on DAMN when will ppl grow up

  56. dream86

    EVE HAS AN OKAY TRACK

    BROOKE WAS OKAY

    KELLY HAD THE BEST TRACK OUT OF ALL THREE OF THEM.

    THE BEAT AND LYRICS ARE ON FIRE.

    LIKE SHE SAID TOLD YA I WAS GOING TO BUMP LIKE THIS AND BUMP LIKE THIS THIS IS A HIT STOP HATING.LOL

  57. Kho-Tee

    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.

  58. 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!

  59. Some new music? I guess,well the song isn’t NEW but I have never seen the video….

    http://www.ifilm.com/video/2838944

    WTF…was she doing a PINK ?(i.e-”Stupid Girl”)
