THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

Eve feat. Fabolous, Swizzy & Missy Elliott – Tambourine (Remix) (full) – download
Easily one of my favorite club bangers out now, I’m glad they took “Tambourine” to the next level, because although I think it’s loved by many a DJ doing a Swizz Beatz mix (complete with “Get Me Bodied,” “Bring ‘Em Out” and “It’s Me, Snitches!”), I don’t think it got as much love as it should have. Hopefully with this remix, it’ll get the play that it needs, even though Eve is pushing the new single with Sean Paul.

Will.I.Am & Nicole Scherzinger – I Got It From My Momma (full) – download
Somebody please explain to me why the Black Eyed Peas broke up? Because individually, I feel like Will.I.Am and Fergie’s music both sound exactly the same as when they were together. It’s almost a little embarrassing. Even though this says Nicole (from PCD), it still sounds like Fergie to me. Maybe I’m just a hater, but I think they were just better off together – even though Fergie’s The Dutchess did have a nice run on the charts for a while with some successful singles. Will.I.Am’s rap at the end is kinda funny though.

Chris Brown feat. T-Pain – Kiss Kiss (snippet) – download
I hope that Chris Brown doesn’t fall into the “I’mma Flirt” trap, because if that were to happen, I think I’d just die. I understand that T-Pain is what’s up, but goodness gracious, if he or R. Kelly pollute anybody else, I think I might roll over and die. I’m not really mad at this song, though. Chris still stays age appropriate. He’s just such a kid to me. I just don’t want to end up being mad at him because I’m actually a fan. It looks from his material, though, that Chris will be avoiding the dreaded sophomore slump.

Rihanna – Please Don’t Stop the Music (full) – download
Just decided to post this up for anyone who didn’t have it. A couple of days ago, Tianna posted this new video from Rihanna, which I thought was rather boring and doesn’t do the song any justice. I was surprised to see that they actually premiered it on 106 & Park, considering that it doesn’t seem “urban” friendly to me. “Please Don’t Stop the Music,” however, is a great dance song. Heard it in the club last night and it really went off. It was quite interesting.

    Love ” Don`t Stop the Music ” .
    & I guess the C. Breezy song
    is aight .

  2. Tara

    i love that chris brown joint!!!!!

  3. Tara

    rihanna’s song is hott too!!!

  4. Nile

    Chris’s lyrics as always are stale but I would kill for that beat. T-Pain is an underestimated producer.

  5. I like chris’ the rest are okay. oohhh #4 i’ve never been this early

  6. Eve- A Tambourine remix this late? I didn’t even bother to listen to it.

    Nicole needs to stop and so does Will.I.Am. I’m tired of these black producers using these white and different raced females to try to sound “black.” That shit is offensive and makes the female look dumb.

    Chris Brown- It’s time to hang up the mic. He was never a good singer. This song is missing a hella lot of something and is just all wrong. He’ll be fading away sooner than I thought.

    Rihanna- The only reason why they shot a video for this song was to appeal more to the urban audience because she will lose most of the urban audience with this pop album. There are only a few hip-hop & R&B songs. Make up your mind Rihanna, you’re either pop or R&B and hip-hop. The song’s okay but it’s sounds like a mix between Pon De Replay and SOS.

  7. cherri

    rihanna’s tune is hott. real catchy

  8. Danala

    LIKE CHRIS BROWN & Eve song. the others alright… i guess.

  9. Cindyizjazzie

    i love the tambourine rmx!!!!!!!!

  10. AJackson

    Eve’s joint is fiya. Rihanna need to pick better singles. The only one I liked so far was “Umbrella”.

  11. I love rihanna’s song. But she needs to just go ahead and release either sell me candy or Breakin dishes. Lemme get that was hot too though.

  12. antoinette

    LOVIN THE CHRIS BROWN TRACK! as usual! he previewed it at a concert that i went to a few weeks ago…and i was DIGGIN IT!

  13. BAMMmm

    yo fabolous on any swizz beat is hot, those two need to do an album together/

  14. eve and rihanna sound good! the men…ewwwwwwwwww!

  15. oh my damn… someone needs to be shot for putting missy on tambourine

  16. All the songs are descent except for that bullshit Will I Am produced…I couldnt even listen to 30 seconds to that garbage. ugk!!

  17. breishungry

    rihanna never really had a urban audience until unfaithful.. shes shouldve reconsidered her last two singles..

    that nicole girl can sing alright but she aint nothing but a musically inclined kardashian… they could be twins.. nicole missing the ass implants and kim just needs the voice… she dont even gotta sound all that.. they give out record deals like food stamps…

    im a chris fan i guess… i like his personality more than i like most of his songs… i heard this before at essence… sounded horrible… now its okay,kinda cute

  18. Vannessa

    Chris song it Hott!He never let me down and Rihanna song is too!

  19. Amenyata

    AWWW. I love Chris’s New Song. Im really feelin it, totally different from wat I expected.

  20. Jashawn

    Y’all need to STFU!!

    Nicole Scherzinger ain’t a sistah wannabe. Her style reflects a pop rocker chick more. She ain’t a wigga or any of that frontin’ shit. Get y’all facts right.

    As for Kim Kardashian, that slut ain’t got nothing on Nicole. Nicole has a better ass so she don’t need any ass implants.

    Nicole Scherzinger is better than any sistahs in the industry right now. This is coming from a brothah. Just keeping it real.

  21. taj

    Some songs are best left alone such as “Tambourine” the remix sucks in my opinion and it lost the natural party feel to me with such wack rappers like Missy. I also did not like Fab’s verse he should have done better. I used to love the Black Eyed Peas before Fergie (even though Fergie is talented ) however, since she’s joined two things have happened, the Black Eyes Peas are so commercial now that I consider them a pop group rather than hip hop and also Fergie decided to rap more than sing and she is wasting the beautiful voice that she has. Nicole is a big disappointment for me because she is also wasting her voice on nonsense songs such as this one and the others that she has sung on. Chris Brown needs some more writers if he wants to have some meaningful longevity in this business because it is quite possible to make age appropriate songs that are not so simplistic and hum drum. I like Rhianna’s song but she should try and get some singing lessons so her voice won’t sound so nasally or may be that is impossible to do I just don’t know. Overall , the music has been so weak not only by these artists but many in the industry right now so I ‘ll just stick with my soul, jazz and real r&b musicians.

  22. brian, you are a very good music critic cuz i take ur advice on alot!

    chris joint is cool. im not feelin the nicole, mayb cuz i neva really listen to her stuff. im not evn gonna bother the rest

  23. didn’t listen to eve cause i wasn’t feeling the orginal version.
    chris brown sounds ok. but his lyrics are very weak.
    RIHANNA i love her. she ain’t the best singer in the world but she knows how to work with what she gots.

    @18 lol i am glad to see that i’m not the only one who thinks that NICOLE and Kim K. look alike.

    i wasn’t feeling will i am. But i do love my girl NICOLE. she is so damn sexy and more importantly talented. ppl the girl doesn’t try or act black. she acts like herself. the girl is part hawian, so when she goes in the sun she gets a very good tan.

  24. i heard the chris b song from before it’s ok

    the only single i like now is the ciara one (not listed) “that’s right”

  25. Have Not Thought Of a User Name

    Wow

    I didn’t like any of them.

  26. Rihanna’s CD is basically FULL of pop songs, “Umbrella” was the only urban single on the album.

    They should’ve released “Lemme Get That” or “Say It”

  27. Fan

    y they hating on chris brown? …… that song is hot!!!!! DC/MD/VA REPRESENT!!!!

  28. chris brown not really feeling it
    i’ve always liked that ri ri song
    will i am ok let’s seee uummm jury out on that on got some funny ass lyrics
    “ugly like her mamma” insane
    eve refix is hot or maybe i’m just hook-ed on the hook. i can’t stop heeeelllpppp!!!
    shake ya tambourine.

  29. somethinlikeastar

    Rihanna’s song is addictive…i like it….and i know i would bugg out in the club

  30. keiska

    CHRIS BROWN SONG ISHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTT.YALL REALLY NEED TO STOP HATING ON HIM AND GET ALIFE.
    HATERS NEVER PROSPER

  31. Daryl

    Eve – i am utterly addicted to the original…. NOW I’M UTTERLY ADDICTED TO THE REMIX, go EVE!

    Rihanna – i like the song, i supported her….. i LOVE the album… but i think she should release “Lemme Get That”…. it would’ve made a better single… but anyway love ya Rihanna

    Chris Brown – i kinda like it… i’m a big fan of T-Pain but Chris my bro… still thinkin bout gettin his album… i just hope he don’t become over-rated so soon.

    Will-I-Am & Nicole – i like it… is Nicole’s album out yet? or does it even have a release date?

  32. Tambourine is descent. Fabolous did his thing. don’t know where Missy come in at but you damn sure know she’e there.

    Will I Am did something for the crossover audience he generated with Black Eye Peas. It nots for me but its not necessarily that bad.

    Chris Brown and T-Pain made a hot one. I just love Chris B. so I’m hooked anyway.

    Like the Rihanna one.

  33. Mike

    Shit, Will.I.Am really got famous off putting wav loops together lol … all his shit sound a lot.

  34. 1. The Tamborine remix is off the hook tho u get me!!! Shake yo tambourine go and get yourself a whistle woo wee!!

    2. Argghh cant stand that chick Nicole, yes I agree wiv all you she wanna sound so black and she dont give anyone a chance to sing, shes always in the spot light arghhh I just wanna punch her, Will.i.am u so boring son move along…

    3. Sorry Chris Breezy I didnt like ur track, I think we all see him as ‘the young boy who just turned 16′, what happened to your gd tunes boi…

    4. Rihanna – Um……..NEXT!!!!!

  35. Chris Brown – I usually like Chris Brown’s music but I will pass on this song. The lyrics “SHE WANT THIS LOVEY DOVEY, THAT KISS KISS” is kind of annoying.

    Will.I.Am – Didnt even listen to the will.i.am, he should just stick to producing other peoples records and recording with The Black Eye Peas. GOING SOLO WILL.I.AM IS A NO-NO!!!!!

    Eve – I like this joint, a 4 sho club banger, I was jammin in my chair! But why does Missy feel the need to “Woooooooooooooo” on every song she is on?

    Rihanna – It’s decent……….I guess.

  36. hood_shit

    Eve’s remix is much ado about nothing….

    Chris Brown’s lil ditty was just that…

    will.i.am bothers me as does this song….

    I agree (GULP!) with Brian about the Rhi Rhi track… it goes HARD in the club!

  37. Uh….people? Rihanna has always been a pop artist. Why are some of you so surprised?

  38. i love anything with tpain on it….and this is no exception

    i dont like that rihanna song…never have

  39. I’m sorta feeling the Tambourine Remix a little. I guess it’ll have to grow on me. And Fab is making some fye moves!

    I Got It From My Mama is straight. It aint nothing to brag about though. I can’t see myself bumping to it unless it REAllY grows on me. I’m not too fond of Nicole anyway though.

    I’m loving Kiss Kiss already. It kind of puts me in the mind of Kelly’s song Comeback by the repitition of some of the words in the chorus. Can’t wait to hear the whole song, along with Take U Down. Gotta love him and his music.

    Rihanna’s newer music really isn’t growing on me. I just like Umbrella, the rest of the songs on her album don’t seem very apealling to me.

  40. Dame

    B.E.P. broke up? when? C.B getting grown to me. Nicole and RiRi NEXT.

  41. MIzzchelle

    Hmmmm………. I’m not really feeling any of the songs.

    Perhaps, the Chris Brown song might grow on me.

    Will.i.am song is kinda funny.

    I think I like Tambourine the way it was. The Missy edition to it was hott however.

    RiRi’s song it’s ok. It’ll do good in da clubs. Also, why did she rip off Micheal Jackson with Mama saw Mama coosaw. I’m not sure what the real words are but, why?

  42. MIzzchelle

    OH YeaH @ #22 I agree music today is a little disappointing. So I’m like you, Imma stick to some real music.

  44. MW

    Eve: Sorry Eve, the original Tambourine is SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER! Missy Ruined it.

    Nicole & Will.i.am: Such a wanna be Fergie song. Sounds like something she rejected from “The Dutchess”

    Chris Brown & T-Pain : I really like this song, very catchy, he has not let me down with his “Exclusive” singles thus far.

    Rihanna: Love Rihanna, her whole album is great. I like the song. This definately sounds like something they’d play in the clubs alot.

  45. Melondy

    Nicole is really pissing me off cuz she now that she would make it without The Pussycat Dolls and she’s just using them and for sum reason Nicole’s voice is annoying as hell Melody could do a bit better 2 me

    Chris’ song could perhaps grow on me

    Eve’s remix is alright

    I think that Rihanna’s whole album is hot except the shut up and drive video and the Don’t stop the music video don’t hit me right

  46. Any song Chris Brown had is great!I love this one too

  47. LUVSTOSPEAKHERMIND. . . . I bet you be one of the main ones bumping Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke’s music ;)

    Anyways…..Brian that is not Nicole.

  48. Jasmine

    The reason Eve’s song is not blowing up yet is because she is not promoting the song enough yet. I think she only performed Tambourine at the BET Awards pre-show and that was it. It would be nice to see her do some interviews and perform more. Also, I don’t think the Black Eye Peas broke up. They are just doing solo projects right now which is a good thing.

  49. Ashleey

    Ok. loove the Tambourie song but didnt bother to listen to the remix. soo.. NC

    Will. .I. am… sounds like a mix of something from Fergie or Gwen (stefani), I dont even know if you can put Nicoles’ name on this track.. she didnt sing anything really!! and she doesnt try to act any more black than any other non black artists. I mean we all know it, the world knows it, blacks are influential… in EVERY aspect, our culture is copied 24/7 always has been,and always will be. So see it as a form of flattery and leave her alone, atleast she is reppin for minorities!!

    * I really really really hope Chris doesnt just fade away , but so far i’m feeling his first album alot more than what i’ve heard so far. “Kissy Kissy” is disapointing to me……he mentioned his car and money :( damn it chris.. NO!!! This just doesn’t seem like something that would be on a soph. album if its supposed to show progression in his music ….on the other hand..He is only 18 and my 14 year old sister will prob. bump it on repeat tomrrow.(all 30seconds of it) but I hope the whole album isnt like this. Theres aways that “skip it” track on every album.. I think this is mine.
    Who wrote this song? Tpain or Chris??please tell me it’s NOT chris… : /

    * I heard “Please dont stop..” a couple weeks ago in a dance class, I like it. dont LOVE it, but its a diff. sound. Go RiRi :)

  50. I love Tambourine remix, probably cause Missy & Fabolous r on it…lol

    DAMN why is everybody sounding like Fergie now??!! Laurie Ann n now Nicole? did i miss something? since when does Fergie have the voice everybody is trying to copy?

    Chris Brown and Rihanna songs are both iight.

  51. Jade

    oh my god finall in in the first 60 to comment
    anyway im not really luvin i got it from ma momma but the rest of dem r sxc

  52. Jade

    oh yh and dat does sound like fergie

  53. First off Ferdie stole Gwen Steffani’s voice a little!!!

  54. kate

    god she does sound like a fergie/gwen rip off….does ri-ri write any of her music????

  55. neicydntreallycarewatuthinkboutcb

    Eve::i love Eve…not a fan of tamborine…not really a good song…& a remix does not show otherwise.

    Will.i.am::not a fan of him solo…sorry. i do like Nicole tho…

    Chris Brown:: i love this song! think its catchy. i heard it somewhere else, it took me a couple times 2 listen 2 it, but i love it now. i wonder y there re so many haters…like every artist that was mentioned…goodness…the song is hot…i dnt think he’s fading…u wil prolly end up biting your tongue 4 that 1. i loves my Chris Brown

    Rihanna::i have her album. Very good. very different. better than somestuff out now && from way back when. she’s alwys been a pop artist. so saying she needs 2 make up her mind…sounds really crude…considering u dnt have 2 stick 2 1 genre of muic.i think she should release “rehab” but i love this song 2!

    overall…this is the first time i hve visited this site…i dnt really like it as much as think2wice or hipandpop…but w/e. 2 each its own. but to my own..it could b better. && not have so many haters reviewing. =D

  56. emily

    dont stop the music is sick the others are……………………………………

  57. I don’t Fergie “copied” Gwen’s voice at all. Gwen really isn’t a good singer (she only makes catchy songs). When she wants to, Fergie can reeeeeeeeally belt it out. She has a great voice (like someone earlier mentioned)….however, for some weird reason, Fergie would rather rap instead…

    I like Eve’s original song. I didn’t listen to the remix.

    Will & Nicole….lyrically, the song isn’t that good. Nice beat, and catchy vocals, but that’s about it… They’re both a bit old for songs like that. lol

    Chris Brown…..typical. All of his songs sound a like to me. He’s a greeeat dancer, and, I guess, a decent singer, but I’ve always found his voice replaceable. It’s not very unique and you can find it anywhere.

    …Oh well. I guess I’m too old for bubblegum. And T-Pain has zero talent whatsoever and he needs to disappear from music forever (or at the very least, stick to only producing).

    Rihanna….I’ve always liked this song. She isn’t Whitney or Mariah, but at least she’s making music that’s creative and distinctive.

  58. SWISS BEATS!- THATS MY STEELO RIGHT THERE, HE ALWAYS HAS THE HIPPEST BEATS AND NEVA FAILS 2 MAKES ME LOSE MY BREFF IN THE CLUBS, LOL, I LIKED TAMBOURINE FROM DAY ONE……I’LL BE WAITING ON RIHANNA’S, U SHOULD TELL ME WHAT’S BUGGIN YOU, AND I MO TELL U BOUT ME!, ANOTHA JUMPOFF! PLEASE DONT STOP THE MUSIC IS OKAY.

  59. Bamakiid07

    @ #7 it only sounds dumb to you because you’re a racist :)
