THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

NOTE: Zshare.net was on trip mode, so I had to put the songs up on SendSpace. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen again!

Jennifer Lopez – Hold It, Push It (snippet) – download
Not really seeing where Jenny Lo is trying to go with this song. What’s funny is, it seems like something that would have been on Amerie’s Because I Love It for some reason. The song is just really funny because, well, she really just can’t sing a lick. This arrangement really requires and calls for a little bit of vocal ability that I just don’t think J. Lo can provide. This is the rumored single. We’ll see.

J. Holiday – New York Girl (full) – download
J. Holiday is definitely coming hard with “Bed” on the radio from his debut album, Back of My Lac, which has a tentative release date of October 2, according to poster snipes that I’ve seen all over polls here in Atlanta. I think that “Bed” definitely came at the right time, because it is more unique than any of the other material that I’ve heard from J. Holiday. This song is fun, but it doesn’t really strike me or hit as hard as “Bed” did.

Sean Kingston – Got No Shorty (full) – download
I think that pretty much we have sort of gathered that the image they’re going with for Mr. Kingston is that of a boy that just can’t get any girls. Although it’s a very new approach, and it’s working, does anybody think there’s anything a little… pathetic about it besides me? I think it’s fun, and like I said, it’s a great new marketing approach, but it’s just funny to me, because of how they’re portraying him. “Got No Shorty” is fun, and it’s slated to be the second single from his debut album.

Chris Brown – Take U Down (snippet) – download
I’ve been eager to hear what else Chris Brown had in store for us on this new album, Exclusive. “Take U Down” is really jamming, because it has that sort of Prince-ish feel to it that I like. His voice sounds wonderful, it floats over this Underdog’s production very well. I’m actually excited about this album. If Chris can get over the sophomore slump, and make his way out of the woods safely, I’ll be glad. ‘Cause all the hype they gave him around his first album won’t be in vain.

  1. Every one needs to change for the better

    does chris have to sing about that, just to show maturity? Damn

  2. bklyn-bella

    I just want to pinch sean k cheeks…the one on his face

  3. DAYUMMM!!!! These songs are blocked on my lap. Dats some ole bullshit.

  4. ash

    Ok Chris I hear you. loud and clear… He’s On his Grown Man status.. im Really lovin this.. but then again the Underdogs dont play!!!

    J Holiday is refreshing R& b needed him. this NY girl is nice, but ‘Bed’ was on repeat for months in my Ipod

    Brian we really need to swap playlists… I swear you GET music!! keep it up ;)

  5. Sean Kingston…………went ahead and listened to the whole album on MySpace, and was like eeehhhhhhh, its too immature and desperate and its seems like every song was produced by the same guy….

    ….Next…..J.Lo….the track does sound like something that would be on Amerie’s new album but J.Lo sounds horrid on this track, and it sounds like (according the lyrics), she’s tryna leave and she’s been poisoned and raped and gagged or something, garbage!

    …Chris Brown….very “Princey”…good ear Brian. I like it though it also sounds a bit like “Promise” from Ciara. His voice is still to young Michael for me but I could bang this in the car.

    …..Mr. J.Holiday, I haven’t been dissapointed so far from the track that I’ve have heard. This one is the weakest of the bunch but its not awful, I would skip over it on the album if I needed too. The track doesn’t do much for me. It kinda reminds me of a Musiq track if you ask me, I could definately see Musiq singing this on his album.

  6. I am feeling J Holliday
    YAWN @ sean Kingston and J Lo

  7. Oh and I don;t think J.Lo said “Hold It Push It” or J.Holiday said “New York Girl” the whole tracks. Didn’t really listen to the ends though, about to play the Chris Brown again………..

  8. Im still bangin BED!!!EH EH EH EEEEEHE EHEHEHEHHE!

  9. [throws tomatos and cabbage at the screen]

  10. ThatDCdude

    J-Lo needs to give it up. That shit is beyond weak.

    Sean Kingston will still be Shorty-less after the girls hear this bullshit.

    Chris Brown – I can see me gettin some Luvin’ to that. LOL

    J. Holiday – I think he’s from DC, so I’ve gotta rep that one.

  11. Didn’t even listen to j-lo or sean kingston cause i know they’re gonna be useless but chris brown is on point! J holiday can do better

  12. I just heard Prince’s new album “Planet Earth” and if you like old school Prince (not Erotic City-just old school in general) you’ll like it. Its not magnificent, but its a solid B+ you could get it on to a few of his tracks.

  13. Aww I love the Chris Brown song!I’m his biggest fan too!Anything he does is great

  14. Jasmine M.

    The chorus sounds like Amerie. Somebody please give J.lo a GOOD acting job. One were she ain’t getting her ass beat or trying to snag a white guy.

  15. @WHY DO YOU HAVE TO LOG IN

    …you should be ashamed to say something like this, ” ‘Wall to wall’ has grown on me though. ”

    …..that track along with the video need to be thrown to the bottom of the ocean like in Transformers.

  16. Vee

    The Chris Brown song is hot…I can’t wait till the whole thing is leaked

  17. BRIANNA

    Wow..that J.Hoe track,kind of sounds like Amerie..I like it

  18. The Chris brown song is like Ciara’s Promise turned into an omarion song lol, but I know the quality aint that great so I’ll give it a chance.

  19. Tandy

    Wow Sean Kingston might blow up big time. All 4 songs i have heard are fire damn.

    Sean seems serious about his music i cant hate. But you have to wonder if he was slim and hot he could sell sex and more records.

    I really like the mix of jamaican with american rap.

  20. MIzzchelle

    J. Holiday I’m really feelin this dude. I haven’t heard a track yet that I didn’t like. I can’t wait til his CD drops. Imma cop it.

    Surprisingly, I actually like Sean Kingston’s “Got No Shorty” better than Beautiful Girls meaning that I could listen to this more than just one time.

    Chris Brown- Brian I can see where you got the Prince reference from. I can’t decide whether or not I really like it. I think it’ll take a couple of more listens.

    J. Lo took it back to the disco. That’s nice.

  21. MW

    J.Lo : That song does sound like something Amerie would’ve done. It definately does not fit her non-singing self. LOL

    J.Holiday: I like it. I think he will have a really solid album.

    Sean Kingston: Whoa! That song is really bad! He needs to stop now! If “Beautiful Girls” proved that he can’t sing this solidified it. A complete flop!

    Chris Brown: This song is a hit! Two thumbs up! His album is going to be ridiculous! He’ll definately live up to the hype.

  22. MissJo

    J. Lo = Vomit
    J. Holiday…eh…I’ll stick to “Bed”
    Chris Brown is gettin’ all grown’ ‘n sexy on us ;)
    Didn’t bother with the Sean Kingston track. He’s an insult to West Indians everywhere (if he even is one) and his patois sucks.

  23. I’m loving that new Chris Brown joint… I’m such a sucker for slow jams, lol!

  24. Luvin chris breezy!!! dayyuumm he’s soo fine. i can’t wait for his cd!!!

  25. Dame

    I can’t hear but I am still feeling J. Holiday Bed it just started getting radio play here.

  26. J. LO cant even compete with Amerie b/c has a real voice that flows w/ her music…if Amerie was on that track…she would have killed it…matter of fact ANYONE ELSE would have ripped it….

    J. Holiday just another young R&B cat…BED is way better than this…this beat remind me too mush of B2K’s beats on thier first album…NEXT

    CHRIS BROWN…LOVEEEEEE IIIITTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I’m not a fan of SEAN kINGSTON si i dont care to list…at least not right now, lol

  27. I dont reallylike the jlo song..she needs to do songs in her range, and when it is it sounds good..J.Holiday is growing on me, i really love his song fatal so check that out..this new york girl is pretty cute..but i aint no ny chick!..i dont like sean kingston AT ALL!!!!!!!!…Chris brown has grown so much…i love it…i use to not really like him because he just sounded like a lil girl..but now he is really on his grown man shiiiid..so im a fan now! lovin him.

  28. Luvin’ the Chris Brown song. It reminds me of TLC’s “Red Light Special”. I hope his sophmore album is as good as the first!

  29. Could y’all start posting these songs in Windows format b/c I can never listen to them… :-(

  30. QUOLO

    CHRIS’ SONG IS GOOD EVEN THOUGH IT’S OBVIOUS IT’S CUT FROM THE CIARA ‘PROMISE’/PRINCE CLOTH. I NOTICED HE TENDS TO DO THE SAME SHOWS AND BUSINESS MOVES. MAYBE THEY SHARE THE SAME TEAM

  31. missy123

    j.holiday-i think the track is not “bed “status but it i like it he is one of the few cats i like thats out right now so he doing it big

    chris brown-seem like he tryin to hard to break this innocent image and become more grown and sexy but hey im a sucka for slow songz (the chorus got me hooked)

    sean kingston- i like the beat sound a little like outkast stuff (the whole world)but i dont like it sound like beautiful girl there is no diversity in his songz. (im from the caribbean and i really think that this is garbage)

    j.lo -i got to 50 secs of the song and wasn’t feeling it at all srry jlo needs to come with something else (next)

  32. yes

    I like Chris & J. Holiday’s songs. J.Lo’s does sound like Amerie. It’s bad when u get Amerie knockoffs. Sean…whatever.

  33. I loved the other songs. Its sad that because people have money they can just enter the music arena whenever they feel like it (J.Lo). Everyone else, very good. I can deal, but I am so tired of these people when they’re white audiences get sick of them, then they want to sell to their black demographics (J.Lo).

  34. sassysexychick

    j-lo is a untalented performer overall.

    i was never impressed with anything she’s ever done.

    acting-dull,dry,and boring
    singing-a train wreck!
    dancing-mediocre
    photos-probably her best bet

  35. nessey

    I LIKE CHRIS BROWN SONG ITS 2 BIT OF PRINCE AND CIARA PROMISE BUTS GOOD DO

  36. J-Holiday – Although I like “Bed” there is nothing unique about it. He is just another rnb dude.

    I’m really feelin’ Chris’ new song. I hear the Prince influence…I guess that’s the new trend now — imitate Prince.

  37. really feeling Chris Brown’s song

  38. J. Lo — Wack

    Holiday — needs vacation

    kingston — get back on banana boat please

    brown — need more info to compute

  39. disappointed in the J.Holiday track…

    didnt listen to jlo yet

    chris brown’s track is something i can see myself fallin in love with

    sean kingston,well all i can say is you have everybody bumpin “beautiful girls” but now its a wrap

  40. oh my god JLO!!!i had yo back on the other posts….but this shit here is just a HOT, BURNING,HEATED MESS

    sounds like something my mama nem’ would listen to back in their teenage years…

  41. Darkandbeautiful

    @@@urbangurl
    J.LO is making a wrong move then cos black people dont buy CD’s unless it it HOT HOT HOT. I like jlo but i dont like she and a few others make money off our music.

  42. Barbados

    I agree w/ MISSJO # 24

    Sean is an embarrassment to West Indian ppl! He is horrible.

  43. @chelly281

    You was right about J. Holliday Fatal. That joint is on point. http://youtube.com/watch?v=y4F5RRlawVM

  44. Ms. Dorchester

    How old is J. Holiday? He is lookin oh so good.

    ________________________________________________________

    I wholeheartedly agree. Awful.

  46. ms.t

    LOVIN that Chris Brown track…..A LOT!!

  47. michael

    HAHAHAHA J-LO CANNOT POSSIBLY BE SERIOUS….IS SHE? PLEASE TELL ME! And imagine when they were tying to make her a star they pit her against Mariah Carey. I mean this bitch CLEARLY CANNOT SING A NOTE!.

    Love J Holiday….love love love J holiday. Hes gonna have to come better than Bed for me to remove it from repeat on my ipod though.

  48. Chris

    Ok so J-Lo should be run over by a truck! She wouldnt make it past the opening audition of american idol. I think thats how wew should judge singers from now on….by whether or not they would make it past the auditions on american idol.

  49. Daryl

    jennifer lopez – i’m praying for Jenny cuz yall are harsh on her. She’s my girl and i hope this album will be a comeback for her. I love u jenny and ima support u no matter what…

    J. Holiday – u my brotha… love every song i’ve heard by him and i can’t wait til his album comes out cuz ima get it the first day…

    chris brown – i’m starting to like him now that he IS more mature sounding, but i have a feelin he’s gonna become over-rated like Usher.. i like them both but i just kno ppl are gonna love them TOO much…

    Sean Kingston – he’s ok.. i mean like i kno he’ll do good. but i’m not a fan of him like that and this song sounds like a remix to “Beautiful Girls”. but do you sean… do you

  50. petes

    I like the new chris brown song . J-Ho just give it a break you just cant sing. J-Holiday I like this song from him. I cant wait to hear Chris Browns whole song.

  51. Umm....

    Everything sounds like shit. NEXT!

  52. ChrisBrown'sFianc`e

    Chris does not have to do nething 2 show maturity. cuz if u wasn’t listenin, his ass has been nasty from day 1. ummm, “Run It”, run what?…(Run dat ass) “Gimme Dat” , Gimmer what? (Gimme dat ass) I hear him loud and clear. My baby’s a freak! The only difference now is he’s legal and he no longer has to be censored.

    That’s MRS. CHRIS BROWN HATAS!

  53. ChrisBrown'sFianc`e

    Yall just wait til yall hear the whole joint. Listen closely to the last verse kiddies cover your ears

  54. chinkz

    I LOVE THE CHRIS BROWN JOINT ITS FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  55. ChrisBrown'sFianc`e

    ps 4 all u r&b haterz out there who haven’t been paying attention: The “Prince” sound is making a comeback simply bcuz these new artists r starting to incorporate rock n roll with r&b/soul just as bands like prince & the revolution did b4 them. Sit your hate juice down on the coaster 4 just a sec, and just admit that the shit is hot!

  56. dacr86

    i really wasn’t feeling any of the songs. J.Lo needs to go back and do some more hiphop she doesn’t have much vocal ability so the arrangements have to be simple. and yes the song does sound like something that amerie could have had on her album but i bet she would have made is sound hot.

  57. datstldude

    j lo gettin lame now. i like the j. holiday song. sean kingston urks me so im not even gonna listen to dat and i need the full version of take u down. that is way better than wall to wall.
