THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW
Saturday, April 14, 2007

Sorry for the lack of updates, guys… it’s been a while. I’ve been having some computer and internet trouble, and have missed out on posting a lot of good (and bad) music. I hope everything’s been alright with you guys. Hopefully all is worked out now.
Ciara feat. Will.I.Am - Do It (full) - download
I’m assuming that this is an outtake from “The Evolution.” Again, like it’s other bonus tracks, I can definitely see why this was left off the album. Ciara is so good for the sing-talk, but I guess it works for her. “Do It” is produced by Will.I.Am and it sounds pretty much like all the other materials he produced on her album, Black Eyed Peas’ album and the tracks on Kelis’s album. From all the unreleased material I’ve heard from “Evolution,” I think Ciara did a pretty good job making track cuts.
Rico Love - Boy, Stop! (full) - download
If you haven’t heard of Rico Love, he’s one of Usher’s artists, on Usher’s Atlanta-based Us Records. If you’ve been visiting CL for a while, you’ve probably heard some track he’s been featured on. As much of his other material, “Boy, Stop” is produced by the Corner Boyz, whose production are all starting to run together for me. If it doesn’t sound like something else they’ve done, it sounds like someone else’s production.
Beyonce feat. Young Buck - Green Light (Remix) (full) - download
Since “Green Light” was one of my favorite songs from Beyonce’s “B’Day,” I was amped to see a remix - and was hoping that the production was changed up. And it most certainly was. I like this more hip-hop influenced “Green Light.” The production gives me an old school feel, and although it doesn’t really obviously fit well with the overall tone of the song, there’s something funky about it. I could do without Young Buck’s verse, but it’s cool.
Bobby Valentino - Candy Girl (full) - download
There’s no telling how many times this song concept has been done. Produced by Tim & Bob (who produced the vast majority of Bobby Valentino’s first album), “Candy Girl” is just an extended metaphor, comparing and contrasting a girl to sweets and assorted candies. I am pretty much over the lot of the material on “Special Occassion.” I thought that perhaps Bobby’d stepped his game up after hearing “Anonymous” (written by The Clutch, produced by Timblanad), but the rest of the material just seems to stay all in one place.

Man this was a bad music review :S
and B.Valentino’s song was goofy!

SO THAT DIVA
Saturday, April 14, 2007 /
Ciara & Will.I.Am: This song may have been done in honor of or as a tribute to Salt N Peppa, but it turned out all wrong. If I were SNP not only would I be insulted, I’d be hella mad. Unless……I was collecting a royalty check. LOL
Rico Love: Rico Who? NEXT!!! That song sucks IMO. I couldnt even listen to the whole thing.
Boy, Stop ….no for real….STOP!!!!!
Bee & Young Buck: Didnt really care for the song to begin with so throwing Buck on it really isnt saving grace. Sorry Bee…..
Mini Me..I mean Bobby V: Meh…..I could rock with Anonymous song. This not so much.

The Green Light remix sounds like garbage. The original is pure fiyah. It doesn’t need all the bells and whistles not to mention wack ass rapper. Downgrade.

LOL at salty, you know I should be employed for concreteloop as many posts i give them (I was postin about A girl like me bein scandal earlier too). Antyway I dont really like the beyonce remix (might be the sound quality), and I already said the ciara song is only good for the bridge.

I’m feelin’ the “Green Light Remix”!
The “Do It” track is catchy!
I stop listening to songs that degrades our community and women, so I didn’t hear all of the Rico Love, but I do wish him the best. Hope he does well in music!
Bobby just keep doing your thing!

Im sorry but mr. will. i . am is not that good of a producer. He even produced some songs on Justin T’s album and not a single one was made a single. JT used all of Timbalands tracks as singles so far and we all know why.
but that ciara song is dull. William is the one that needs to make it do what it do and quit producin bullshit music. He’s workin with MJ now and i still cant figure out why MJ chose him. But whatever, not gonna hate. do ur thing man.
Greenlight remix sounds cool

Did not like the GL remix, she could have switched it up a bit, it sounds like young buck just kind of threw himself in the song, the rap did not go very well. ANYHOW i am trippin off that LIL wayne song about CIARA..I guess its kind of “sweet” him kind of givin her a shoutout. I thought it was funny when he said “Hov got B and I just want C” But she will probably be flattered about the song. If i was her i would be lol
34.
SAY WHAT :0
Sunday, April 15, 2007 /
Even though she wasn’t even singing, I still liked Ciara’s song. The remix to Green Light is ight. Bobby V’s song is dodo just like the Rico boys song.
35.
Sweetneesee
Sunday, April 15, 2007 /
I’m very disappointed with the ciara song. I was expecting fiyah cuz I thought it had the perfect formula to be a hot song, i.e. will i am as a producer, push it sample, and ciara.
But is it me or does her style never change. I’m slowly upgrading to be a die hard fan but slowly going back down with disappointment.
Green light was cool, nothing special
passed on others

jessicaspears
Sunday, April 15, 2007 /
sweetness I kinda agree. Im gonna look the other way tho cause she DID leave it off her album so she cant be blamed too much. But I was on youtube and lookin at interviews of her this week in the UK and she won me over again. She just seems so cool and motivating. I cant beleive that this lil girl has got me lovin her when I could have sworn she was a stuck up stank project chick last yr. I guess looks can be deceivin. Im just waitin for “My love” to come out cause if she can perform that song well then she will have a true fan out of me.
38.
sssssssssssssss

I hope people like “MY LOVE” because Im sure everyone remebers where “AND I” was*lol*
but anywhoo I know many will hate on her as always so who cares?!?!

Ciara was wise to leave that foolishness off her album.
Rico Love, although formulaic, was listenable.
Beyonce andBuck should get a restraining order against one another.
I actually agree (looking around coyly) with Brian about the Bobby V catastrophe.

THE REASON RICO LOVE SOUNDS LIKE A CORNER BOYZ TRACK IS BECAUSE HE “IS” PART OF THE CORNER BOYZ. IF YOU CHECK HIS TRACK RECORD HE HAS WRITTEN FOR MARQUES HOUSTON, OMARION, USHER AND OTHERS. HE IS HOT AND SO IS HIS MUSIC AND IF HE DOESNT MAKE IT AS A SOLO ARTIST, HE WILL ALWAYS GET THOSE PUBLISHING AND WRITING CHECKS SO IM SURE HE ISN’T TRIPPIN!
