THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

Keri Hilson – High Heels (snippet) – REMOVED
I really laughed when I first heard this song. Upon reading the title, I was wondering what could possibly be talked about in this song, what the lyrics could have possibly been. This Cornerboyz produced this song, which is a surprise to me, because I thought Timbaland, Danja and Polow Da Don were producing her album in its entirety. However, it’s too far before her release to even say that this will even appear on the album. But either way, check Keri Hilson on MySpace.

Justin Timberlake – Summer Love (full) – download
Justin Timberlake’s “Summer Love” is lighting up iTunes these days, I didn’t even realize that he was releasing it as a single. But I guess it would make sense to release right at the beginning of, you guessed it, summer! “Summer Love” was always one of my favorite songs from JT’s “FutureSex/LoveSounds,” and I’ll sure say one thing. He did a good job of making this album stretch.

Cassie – Sometimes (full) – download
Cassie really pulled a disappearing act on us. Not that anybody cared, but it was just absolutely laughable that this girl had the #1 single in the country for so long (with no display of any sort of vocal ability), with so much hype surrounding her debut album, and no grind time, then she just disappeared after all the backlash about her horrid live performances. I’m sure everyone remembers those. But Cassie has uploaded a brand new track to her MySpace page (I refuse to link it – she gets far too many hits), which sounds like leftovers from the first album.

Brooke Valentine – Ghettolicious (full) – download
Brooke Valetine is stuck, guys. Sorry. Her album, “Physical Education” was supposed to come out sometime last year, with the failed single “D-Girl,” with fellow Texan, Pimp C. The song didn’t get a great response, and all the material that’s leaked from the album so far has been less than stellar. I’m not sure what Brooke is going to do with thie project. It just seems like she’s not in a good place creatively or with her label. All this partying like a rock star and snapping is getting old. Rapidly.

  3. Ashes

    I can’t wait to hear more from Miss Keri Lynn, her writing to me is mediocre to say the least but she still rises to the occasion.

    Loving the JT song, cute

    Brooke/Cassie Who? Next!!!!

  4. Bird

    *sighs* I have a girl crush on Cassie.

  5. BRAINER

    Hey i gotta give much props to the people who run this site and much thanks for updating it every few hrs because im stuck in front of a computer as im sure allot of the other viewers are… all day at work and youtube and dailymotion only have so much to look at, much props

  6. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CAFF MUAHHHH PASS ME A LORNA DOONE

    JUSTIN WOULDNT BE SHIT WITHOUT TIMBALAND…

  7. Kerry Hilson reminds me of Aaliyah (vocally) and I think she’ll do well as an artist.

    Justin’s song iz hot…I did’nt like it @ first but it grew on me…

    Cassie..ZZZZ…

    Brooke Valentine…ZZZZ…unfortunately her only hit may be “Girlfight”…which is sad.

  8. assie please go away
    broke valentine she coming back out lol

  9. umm, can someone tell me what note Cassie is singing? lol

    And high heels sound relative to many females but at the same time dumb. I don’t know what to think about it. Def not a hit though!

  10. R&B is Wack Right Now

    Guess that’s the state of music, subpar acts and subpar songwriters. They just lowered the bar. Music industry thought it was them and not the talent that sold records. Guess they found out you feed people s***, eventually they gone realize they eating s*** and stop eating s***. Guess what people dont’ wanna eat s*** no more.

  11. t.i.girl

    im really digging that keri song. she delivers everytime. i cant wait for her to come out with a first single.

  12. Goony

    Dayum the person who reviews the music on here sure slams em hard on the review I dont see the sense of even checking the music out. I guess the press can kill a dead career lol

  13. DOESN’T BROOKE VALENTINE LOOK LIKE MELINDA DOOLITTLE, THEY BOTH HAVE NO NECKS LMAOOOOOOOOO

  14. Ne' Ne'

    bitch call me pimp nuts…p p p pimp nutz

  15. Ne' Ne'

    Someone tell me if these songs are worth listening to.

    LMAO @ DOTS NAME

  16. Naomi

    Cassie…..
    Yes, she’s pretty
    but there’s only so many times u can look at her and say “wow she’s really pretty”

    The girl is supposed to be a SINGER
    and frankly I’m tired to death of her NON-SINGING ass
    BITCH SIT DOWN…..damn

  17. i just listened to that Brooke song, and she got 2 step, walk it out, umbrella, lip gloss, ballin, lean wit it rock wit it, make it rain and clear it out, beyonce’s uh oh and irreplacable, i’m a flirt, rock yo hips, and the rock star song all in one!!!!!

    This is a really, really, sad attempt to write a song! I guess they thought of every hit made within two years and decided to blend it as one!

  18. lmaooo @ play cousin Ne’ Ne’…. p p p pimp nutz WTF lmaoooooooo

  19. Lovely

    Can’t hear the songs at work and doubt I will want to when I get home.

    Wassup Cuzzin Ne’ Ne’, Pimpinnnnn, Bashhhh

  20. Exactly #10. Even though I feel everything J.Timberlake puts out.

  21. Young Eaz

    I love Keri, I think she is a great writer… some of ay’ll take shit too serious, It’s a fun song that’s all. Her vocals r always on point.

    Who cares about the rest

  22. WTF THAT BROOKE SHIT IS TRASH!! she actually has other song titles in the song and delivers them like the original song, DDDAAAAMMMNNN!!!! melinda doolittle, jr. is THE WACKEST!!!

  23. Ne' Ne'

    hey Fuckers…lol
    pimp nuts is from redmans album.

    That cd has lines for dayyyyyssssss.

  24. atreyou

    Cassie, in her video me & u reminded me of a cute trannie. However her songs are nice, though she can’t sing.

    I’m not even going to bother with brooke.

    Justins track is cool.

    I can’t wait for Keri to drop, I’m still bumping ”luv ya” and ”happy juice”.

  25. Keri, love anything she does.
    Justin, probably will go to number 1 because of Tim’s beats.
    Not even going to listen to Cassie. We know the outcome of her music anyway…
    Brooke, sounds like garbage.

  26. Nia

    Im feeling the Justin joint, but I dont know about the rest. That High Heels might grow on me…..
    Plus, come check out my website if you want all the hot, new gossip!

  27. JUSTIN IS HOTT!
    CASSIE DOES NOT SING GOOD AT ALL TO ME!
    BROOKE IS JUST PLAYED OUT!
    LATER!

  28. Cassie’s lack of talent is laughable. Stick to looking pretty and stop abusing Autotune. And Brooke Valentine…wtf?! Seriously? Justin Timberlake song is good, the whole album is good in fact. Keri Hilson song is quite decent.

  29. CC

    OMG Brooke, go home, that song is dead. No one should ever say ‘Ghettolicious’ sounds like you stink…
    Are they still letting Cassie in the studio?
    Love the lyrics to Keri song!

  30. Sharonda

    LMAO @ Adot you wrongggg!

  31. All those songs are garbage, just like the previous music review (not blaming you Brian, just saying artists need to step up their game).

  32. Durrel

    Man I’ve always loved Brooke Valentine….I just don’t understand why she’s slept on as an ARTIST. She can sing, has that great people personality…but for some reason..is just not being PROMOTED like she needs to be. And what i think it is it that damn label she’s on. Which is why Janet left as well….no PROMO. I’ve liked all the songs I’ve heard so far though.

  33. The Verbal Advocate

    I have to say that R&B has lost it’s valor of it’s true essence that once was music! The problem is that artist are not making music to make music anymore! It seems to me that every damn song that is produce on an PL has the intention to make you dance! I wonder whatever happen to the songs that gave you chills all over your body? The songs that make you want to fall in love for the sake of the feeling it gave? The songs that embraced you in times of trouble! The gimmicks that have made the music biz fall, is the of poisoning people being influenced to think that crunk, computers, fucking snap is real music! The shit that is out is garbage to me honestly! I see that that appearance is more of a money drawer, than talent! Look at Jill Scoot, India Irie! This are real tableted and gifted women musically, but because they refuse to prostitute their talent; they get not love! Please Lord were are the Aretha’s, Jennifer’s the Chaka Khan’s ,even the Teena Marie’s? Music is dead in all respect!

  34. Why they have these little girls running out here believin’ they actually talented? We all know Cassie can’t sing, and Brooke Valentine…no comment.

  35. Brooke could get it raw though. No gimmicks.

  36. ABCC

    I’m pretty sure this won’t be on the album. This is one of those “trendy” songs, but like someone said, the public no longer wants to eat shit. Keri is highly talented and having been around her sessions, her talent for singing and writing, make her more than a “trendy” artist. She’s not like Aaliyah…she’s Keri Lynn Hilson.

    Brooke….smh. I feel bad for her because she’s really a good singer. I don’t know if it’s a management issue or the fact that Virgin is not strong in her type of music right now. She’s needs to scrap trying to follow TRENDS and do something original. Even if we don’t like it, at least we will respect her more.

    Justin…no comments necessary. He’s the man and he proves it time and time again.

    I see Cassie making an attempt to “sing” on this one. The record will definitely get airplay on radio and clubs, but I just don’t think she’ll get another chance at stardom. Her performance f— ups during the support of her debut have tarnished her career forever. She can’t sing…and I don’t know about the rest of ya’ll, but I thought that was a component of being an “artist” and releasing albums. We all know why Ryan is invested in pushing her and things like this make it hard for truly talented artists to be recognized.

  37. Agree with you 33. I despair for RnB if this is the best people can come up with. The looks over talent thing means that true artists hardly get any love. *Puts on Lauryn Hill cd and remembers the good old days*

  38. Have Not Thought Of A New User Name

    @#17 Sweetneesee

    You gone get me fired lol

  39. QBEVE

    Not feeling nadda……Not a JT fan still cuz of the pimping of the Black Community, like Elvis to sell is records…totally dissed Janet and Prince…and him and Timberland can go and get lost! If it wasn’t for Pharell, his first album would had sucked, if it wasn’t for Timberland (sell out black azz) this album would not be ish either!
    Went to Keri’s site and her ish is wack…sorry. She’s got an alright voice, but her writing producing skills are wack!
    Cassie=>Old news =Next
    Brook=> Old and ish was wack when it originally dropped => Next

  40. brooke valentine needs to sit her behind down.lawdy jesus

  41. LadyCole

    im still waiting for some good music to be posted up.

  42. Have Not Thought Of A New User Name

    @33

    I agree, that’s why I don’t listen to the radio and when I do it’s the r&b station that playes old school music.

    Brooke can sing, but her songs suck. Somebody gave me her last cd I had to give it back.

  43. Justin is my guy LOVE this song

  44. ICE-COOLER

    cassie go away and never ever come back.

  45. ICE-COOLER

    cassie is pretty but i’ve seen alot of fine asian dimes who are hotter

  46. CONCRETE

    I was thinking the same thing…Is that Cassie??

  47. hood_shit

    I hope Keri, Sterling Simms, and The Clutch paying Brian for the nut-ridding!

    Can’t fuck with J. Timberlake fradulent ass…. Elvis all over gain!

    The Cassie joint wasn’t that bad….. had a TOTAL vibe to it. Damn, I miss Bad Boy circa the 90s.

    Only .03 seconds on Brooke… sure it was WHACK anyway!

  48. d

    i lik the lil continue the post thing ok concrete loop steppin up dey game

  49. Umm

    Poor Brooke, her song has a short attention span. One minute it was rock your hips, then lip gloss, then something else. Who ever wrote the song did seem as if they were paying attention. Then her soft vocals over a horrible track, so sad, too bad…

  50. me

    keri’s writes for timberland. she’s from atl and has cowritten with ciara and chris brown.

  51. buck

    @ #39,47 yall just hatin that justin is doing his thing yall keep bringing up janet but that was her nip that was on tv that was her sorry album that didnt sell not jt…yall just mad cause the badest dude in r&b is a white boy……and plz tell me how is timberland a sellout we as blk people need to get out of the mind set that everybody owe us something …and we need to stop playing the victim because that is getting old…..if timberland….janet played the race card after her nip pop out but janet wasnt black until she got with jd

  52. guccigirl

    OMG….this has been the slowest day ever….HELP ME OUT CL….im bored as hell!!!!

  53. yeahyeah

    That Cassie shit is horrible. Sad actually.

  54. KERI was cool but a song about high heels is dumb to say the least.
    I don’t listen to JTimberfake. His ghetto pass was revoked after nipplegate.
    Brooke? I couldn’t even hear her and it sounds like drunk snap music. Run down and overdone.
    Cassie, as always with Assie, no substance, but nice production.

  55. Wisdom Body

    I actually like Brooke the girl can really sing well better than most pop acts out. Her and Olivia have talent and both are on sorry labels. I loved Brooke’s Pimped Out I jammed to that every morning I even liked Dope Girl cause I feel her. But this song sucks.

    I think Keri is gonna do ok in her career she’s getting alot of buzz and ft on quite a few albums.

    You can hate on JT but he’s the man and how are you gonna say he’s nothing without Pharell and Timbo what would most R&B pop artist be without a nice production team. Producers beg to work with JT. I can’t hate on the white boy he’s dope one of the BEST albums out last year and he still moving units and still in the top 20. What comes around goes around was just Awesome with a capital A (in dick vitale voice)

    Cassie??? *crickets* … well she’s pretty??

  56. meemiya

    why u hatin on Cassie… damn!

  57. Wisdom Body

    b/c she can’t sing or dance. i’m not hatin on her looks though.

    …. wait i’m actually not hatin i’m stating facts

  58. Brooke Valentine needs to leave her whole crew alone and start over, she has too much talent to be singing that bullsh*t.

  59. BVD

    For anyone dissing on Brooke, you should re-think what u said.

    First of all what Brian didn’t post is that this song from Brooke is for a MIXTAPE that she is making that is coming real soon. Mixtapes always have a bunch of other pieces of songs in them, so you can’t say she had nothing to write about, it’s the style of mixtapes. So just letting yall know.

    Also if u think she can’t sing go to Aol Music (music.aol.com) and watch her LIVE on Aol Sessions, her voice is really wonderful.

    I am a Brooke fan which is why I back her up, if I see anything bad about her, it just makes me sick. If girlfight could get her into the industry, than any other song should help.

  60. ub

    Ok, Cassie doesnt have a strong voice. But its airy and it floats over hooks and you can just vibe to it. She knows she cant stand next to lauryn hill or beyonce, but it works for her. Sade (one of my favorite artists) doesnt have strong vocals, but her voice is airy and it floats too. Whatever works and Im betting this song will blow up and be #1. Not everyone can sing in the game, but its not all about the voice. Its the whole package, and the powers that be packaged her right.

    Its not fair, but what is?
