THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

Monday, April 30, 2007

NOTE: What’s up ya’ll. I know it’s been a while, but I have been having some internet/computer problems, but everything’s all cleared up now. Also, as you know, the semester is ending and I’m trying to bang out these papers, finals and art projects. But I love CL, I love Angel & Tianna and I’m glad to be back. We’ve got some special stuff coming for you this summer. Thanks for your patience! I appreciate all the e-mails asking where I’ve been. You guys are the best.

Rihanna feat. Lil’ Mama - Umbrella (Remix) (full) - download
So, everyone knows that Rihanna is nobody’s singer, however, it seems as though people are loving Rihanna’s new single, “Umbrella,” which originally features Jay-Z. I can’t say that this remix, which features Lil Mama, who is best known for her annoyingly addictive single, “Lip Gloss” improves upon the song or doesn’t do it any justice at all. In any event, Rihanna is trying to let the game now that she’s a main-stay. The girl has put out 3 albums in three years.

Fabolous feat. Rihanna - First Time (full) - download
I think what I like about Fabolous is his consistancy. He always gives you a single with a female vocalist, and usually it’s a female vocalist who’s about to go really hard for that season. Remember his songs with Lil’ Mo? And then with Ashanti, then he replaced her with Tamia? Well, now he’s trying the same formula with Rihanna, and luckily, people are loving her right now. If I can say anything about Fabolous, he definitely knows how to make a good move as far as putting out the right single.

Mya feat. Lil’ Wayne - Lock U Down (Video Version) (full) - download
I posted the Scott Storch-produced “Lock U Down” months ago, and hated it then. To me, it sounds like Mya’s sound has not progressed at all. It was a good move to put Lil’ Wayne on the track, but it just sounds like something from any of her other albums. The video does do something for the song, though. I just wish that Mya would take her music somewhere else and continue to get her dance on. She’s a fabulous dancer. I feel like she’s been doing the same thing since “Movin’ On.”

Tiffany Evans feat. Ciara - Promise Ring (full) - download
Remember little Tiffany Evans from Tyler Perry’s “Diary of A Mad Black Woman?” Well, she’s sung songs for Disney, so I guess she’s trying to make a transition into a real artist. If you know me, you know I love this kind of old school dance music. Not only that, but I love when kids make age-appropriate music. Tiffany is 15 years old, and has a pretty nice voice. I can definitely see kids liking this. And what’s strange is, I could definitely see myself dancing to this… in somebody’s club. But I guess that’s not the song’s purpose. Shout out to The Clutch, again!

It only makes sense that Rihanna and Lil Mama did the remix together. Both of their songs are equally annoying as hell.

The Fab track will most likely grow on me.

I agree that Mya needs to progess. The track is ok. Its catchy without being annoying.

Glad to see Tiffany Evans doing something. The track has Ciara’s “style” all over it. But shes obviously a better vocalist than Ciara. Its cute. I like it.

i love mya’s recond huge fan of hers and she can dance and she’s been doing long before ciara love her too but you just can’t compare. ciara’s more crunk while my girl mya is more smooth and a bit more sexy with her dance moves. she’s just fabolous. All of the other reconds are not that bad eathier. OH I’M FIRST. YES.

umbrella-ella-ella ey ey ey!!
idk the song grew on me but her “ella”’s are gonna annoy the hell out of me in a while. and i don’t think i care for this remix. she should just do w/o the rap parts until she can get an mc that can kill it on the track (luv jay, but he didn’t turn it out like he should’ve)

fab song: nope

mya song: i agree with u brian. it sounds better than b4 but i still think she needs a new sound.

tiffany evans song: wasn’t this girl on oprah a long time ago? her voice will be amazing as she gets older cuz she already has chops. it’s a cute song

i like that tiffany song…but im not really feeling that mya and lil wayne joint…i like fabolous’ song and i don’t like that Rihanna…maybe it just has to grow on me…or not

8.

Now you know...

Monday, April 30, 2007 /

Yes, this is the girl from Oprah! She could blow then and she’s come such a long way from when she and her family were living in their car. God is good! I’m happy she was able to get a contract, we need to have more young talent like this displayed for our youth. But I didn’t recognize her in the photo b/c they’ve added hair and lightened her skin. Hollywood!!!

That girl Tiffany Evans she can sing..it’s a cute song for her..lol

I heard these on the radio today..except the Fab joint.

Yes I remember Miss Tiffany, she did a good little part in Family Reunion.And to say that was my favorite part of the movie

I tried to listen to Rihanna Umbrella to get in to it, but it slowly growing but don’t mean I like the “song”

I like Mya (D.C stand up).The song is ok.But its like a formula for female singers to put Lil’ Wayne on their track.

I likes Fab,I think his lyrics are great.This probably would grow on me.

11.

hmmmm not sure i like any of em

THAT BITCH

Monday, April 30, 2007 /

i thought tiffany evans was an artist before she started acting. hmm ooh well, i like her song.

the remix to umbrella is on lil mama`s myspace page. it`s ohkay, i like`d it better with jay-z.

that mya joint hands down is one of the best songs she`s down.

fabolous song is nice too.

13.

K.K.

Monday, April 30, 2007 /

I hate umbrella, Tiffany’s song is good for teenage girls , and I actually like Mya’s song even though it’s been done by her b4.

14.

Ebz

Monday, April 30, 2007 /

Man Brian you hit the NAIL ON THE HEAD about Mya. SHe really needs work. She has not progressed in the what 5-6 years shes been out. She’s a bit boring. Although her new single is okay, its exactly what I expect from her.

I like the new remix with Lil’ Mama, something about her swag that im feeling. Lil mama, that is.. Not to be confused with Rhianna.

Tiffany has a nice voice, BUT that song is a NO GO. Back to the drawing board.

Didnt waste my time on the F.A.B track.

15.

Tiffany can SANG. she sing better than ciara thats for sure. idk know bout th, song, but her vocals are off the chain, it make me want to look foward for more from her. i am glad shes doing her and not tryna be grown like alot of these lil kidz!

Okay, how many times is ConcreteLoop gonna try to ram this horrid Rihanna single down our throats????? And each time they keep acting like it’s brand new! Dayum!

I’m eagerly awaiting the Neyo/Shaggy/Sanjaya remixes.

LMFAO @ #18. So true.

The Tiffany song sounds like a Ciara one…like its a ciara throw-away or something. But she did it justice.

Rihanna keeps releasing albums because they don’t sell well.

No offense #16 but her lyrics say COME INTO ME.

B-Dub Da Magnificent

#21 - I believe that Rihanna’s last album has sold over 3 million worldwide. So I’m not sure what yoru talking about.

I like Mya, but this track is very disposable, and won’t result in her selling many albums. She needs a smash hit ASAP.

The Tiffany Evans chick can blow. I remember her on Star Search. She sang the National Anthem at a sporting event (NBA playoffs?) a couple of years ago and tore it down.

24.

Nina

Monday, April 30, 2007 /

3 million ww is not that well. She only hit platinum in the US. When people like Akeys and Kelly Clarkson who has sold 8 ,1011 million WW. People ususally keep making cds when they’re albums don’t sell well and that is the case for Rihanna her first cd flopped and her second one did not do that well , especially since she had two top ten hits. Shit you might as well have said Keyshia cole did well too.

25.

LIL MACKIN

HER OFFICIAL MYSPACE IS WWW.MYSPACE.COM/TIFFANYEVANSMUSIC
SHE CHANGED HER WHOLE IMAGE….CIARA MUST BE HER MENTOR BECAUSE SHES MAKIN MUSIC AND DRESSIN LIKE HER….THIS SONG IS HOT THO..

26.

A. DOT IS PISSING ON THE WORLD!!

Monday, April 30, 2007 /

that Umbrella shit is still just aight, Fabolous knows what works for him but just like Mya there formulas don’t change, however Fabolous has stepped his game up, not Lil’ Wayne status but one step and Tiffany Evans i saw on some shit, the Apollo or something and she was aight for a little girl and that song is aight for a little girl too. you can really hear Ciara in the production and writing for it, it’s her style with a better voice but overall HOT SHIT, HOOOT SHIT!

27.

Tiffany Evans voice is so nice!!! this song is hot, kinda cool that Ciara co-signed to put her on, I just hope she sings bout mature stuff like singing about a guys style instead of promise ring she shoulda sang “i like your game playa” who co -signs to that?

Exactly she has all the time in the world to do that,but if she doesn’t than that makes her original because everybody else already talking about that stuff now.She can outblow many of these R&B mainstream chicks today.Its just that R&B mainstream chicks have not been impressive.

I’m loving “umbrella” the video is hot. Esp. when its gets to the part with the water floating. Go girl

As for Tiffany she deserves her sucess, her & her family used to be homeless and just to see her grow up its been a wonderful thing. I hope she remains a tasteful remodel. I dont want to see her no where droppin it like its hot.

Tiffany is heavily inspired by ciara and cici definately had something to do w/ this track as far as writing and producing goes. She’ll do alot on her album as well. I hope tiff blows up too. Make that money, CiCi!

i actually like the tiffany song and the umbrella remix. but that song lock u down annoys me….its something about mya’s high pitched voice that irritates me. that fab song is aight.. his flow makes me sleepy

44.

Monday, April 30, 2007 /

Rihanna hasn’t done too bad for herself. Three million isn’t bad at all. Artists are tripping over themselves to self any more than a million so she should be happy and I’m sure she is but three damn albums ALREADY?!?! WHEN?! I’m serious because I haven’t heard anything. I thought all that “SOS” and “PON DE REPLAY” was on the same album. I hope people buy this one for her.

45.

Monday, April 30, 2007 /

I really like the age appropriateness of Tiffany Evans song, without it seeming to corny. A promise ring is something appropriate for a 15 year old to sing about. I think the prodcuers and writers nailed that one. Ciara can go though,she’s very unnecessary to the song. Tiffany is strong enough to hold the song on her. They clearly just used her for names sake.

The Fab song is nice, but would be nicer if it was another female singer, whose voice isnt as annoying. But i’ve definitely been feelin his new material. His album should be hot.

I like the Mya song, its just okay, nothing spectacular, shows no growth whatsoever, and if she continues down that path her albums will continue to flop.

I dont like the originial umbrella so I dont see how I would like the remix. The song would be okay, if she could sing that is, and whoever made her do that eh eh eh eh ah eh, should be arrested. It sounds awful.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH

DUMB ASSES!!!!!!

MR. COLLIPARK PRODUCED THE TIFFANY EVANS TRACK NOT CIARA AND NOT THE CLUTCH (THEY WROTE IT).

Other than that…everything is wack especially that nonsinging whore Rihanna, and that nonrapping chipped tooth Fabolous.

47.

SO THAT DIVA

SO THAT DIVA

Monday, April 30, 2007 /

Rihanna feat. Lil’ Mama - Umbrella: Thumbs Down (hated that song all 300,000 times CL posted it!…Give it a rest already!)

Fabolous feat. Rihanna - First Time: Not a RiRi fan, I do like Fab though….this may grow on me by the time I hear it a thousand time this summer.

Tiffany Evans feat. Ciara - Promise Ring: It’s a nice kiddie song…..age appropriate so I cant hate on that. Still, I’ll pass. Tiffany’s vocal ability seems on point, but this song does seem like a reject that didnt make CiCi’s album.

48.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH

53.

Charmane

Monday, April 30, 2007 /

Ciara did all the backround vocals too so its not like all she did was say a few corny lines. I really love that track and its a shame cause im 20 lol. Its just somethin about the beat that makes it addictive and not to juvinile even tho the lyrics are. Oh and Ciara might want to consider doing backround vocals cause she gave the song a whole nother feelin to it. Like a more grown soulful one.

But she needs to leave the main verses to the VOCALISTS not her kinda sorta singin ass!

54.

LOL @ #18…If i were to hear Sanjaya remix…i would litterally quit using the internet totally.

Tiffany Evans, shes doin her thing. Its age appropriate and I like it. Her vocals are off the chain for her age group.

Cant hear the fab song, only the first 10 seconds…

Rihanna and Lil. Mama…i think i’ll pass or listen to this later on. At first thought, not a good idea.

67.

Tiffany has an amazing voice. Very age-appropiate, reminds me of the days Brandy, Usher, Monica, and Aaliyah ruled the R&B game. Hopefully she will get some airtime and radio play.
BTW, how old is she?

hi thank u sssssss 4 commenting so much on me and making this post become a ciara post u and the rest of the haters are the reasons why money keeps filling my pockets i understand y u like to hate so much i mean if i had nothing 2 do than sit on computer and diss someone i dont even know i would be mad 2 but of course i have a life i am sure u know that!

70.

He said, Would you wear my promise ring, I sad...YES

Monday, April 30, 2007 /

Man I was hopin to hear Ciara get a verse or bridge, I mean DAMN lol! But thanks for pointing out (whoever that was)that she did the backround vocals cause now I can hear her and she really do make the chorus pop. And Ciara cant SANG but she knows how to sing. If you would listen to her aol concert you would realize she aint no damn Cassie!

I think its nice that she is helping this lil girl out by makin an appearence. Not that her talent isnt great, but we all know that talent does make you successful in this day in age so Ciara will give her that extra boost. I hope this girl can replace that snotty nose soundin Jojo tho cause Im tired of that girl thinkin she can sang, when she aint no better than Jessica Simpson and them.

71.

o hell to the no

Monday, April 30, 2007 /

ciara and cassie are definately not in the same catergory 1. ciara can sing if u hear her sing accapella u will no
