THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

NOTE: Sorry about the link mix-up, guys. I updated it. It should work now.

Cassie – Is It You? (full) – download
Cassie was supposedly working on a new album due out in the fall, but this song isn’t from it. “Is It You?” is actually taken from the soundtrack for the sequel to the movie, “Step Up.” I honestly admit that I can see where this song was going, regardless of how much I hate Cassie’s lack of vocal ability. I like the feel of the track, which I’m sure was produced by her alleged boyfriend and producer, Ryan Leslie. It feels like a soundtrack song to me though.

J. Holiday – Don’t Wanna Lose (full) – download
I haven’t really been excited by the lot of J. Holiday’s music that I’ve heard besides, “Bed,” and a couple of other tracks I really like this song. It’s simple, and it just displays his vocal ability really well. I like the doo-wop direction that this song is going, and the boy really does have a set of pipes on him. I guess this has sort of revived my excitement for Back of My Lac, out October 2nd.

T-Pain feat. The Dream & Akon – Bartender (Remix) (full) – download
This is really good background music. I can honestly say that the only voice that I like on this is The Dream’s, the rest just leave me cold. Never really been a fan of T-Pain or Akon, but this song really is just a cool groove song. I like being in the club, after a lot of dancing – this is your cool down song. Even though I’m not a fan, I can’t deny the “catchiness” of the whole thing.

Kanye West feat. 50 Cent – Stronger (Remix) (full) – download
I initially was in love with the song just off of the strength that Kanye used one of my favorite songs from Daft Punk. But then he went and threw 50 on it. And even though I’m not fond of 50, I kind of like where this remix is going. But I think that’s just because Kanye really did put out a good song. To me, nothing can mess up the way he freaked that sample.

  1. It’s about time Cassie has something new! I like this song!

  2. Kia

    Hello! The link for J. Holuday is actually Cassie’s ‘Is It You” Please fix.. I love me some J. Holiday. Thx!

  3. Victor (ngland COV)

    bun 50 cent hes just wasted man he needs to stop ZOOP ZOOP to kanye though (hold tight england)

  4. Please Cassie step away from the mic. This song sucks ass, her voice is WEAK.

  5. guccigirl

    BLAH..excpet for J. Holiday..its growing on me!

  6. And why is the J holiday link playing Assie’s song?

  7. Angela

    wow, am feeling fifty’s verse on the kanye track, he put a whole new spin on it and it worked, good shit

  8. Of course Cassie still needs some vocal coaching but the beat is catchy. I only like the T-pain remix because I like the track but the lyrics in the beginning are awful. And the hook isn’t that great either.

  9. no cassie, it’s not……

  10. T-Pain, WTF…… a remix of garbage. How do you remake shitty music??

  11. Poetic_lovagirl

    Where is the J Holiday song ? I want to hear more from him ,because I really dont see the hype behind him.

  12. Even though Cassies vocal ability is flat ass hell, the song is sumthin ill listen to if it came on the radio cause it dont sound like the usuall thats 4-eva being playd so the track is al right wit me.

    The J.holiday track isn’t workin on my lap.

    I prefer the Stronger song without 50.

    Oh, n iam really likin the Bartender remix! Its real nice

  13. Xander

    Cassie please stop…… trust me babe like you said you got a long way 2 go!

    J Holiday is a cutie pie I love his voice.

    Kanye West will always be on top.

    T- pain has this thing about his music that pulls me in, the way he riffs on the chorus in the bartender song is like no other!

  14. tha future

    that cassie song is pretty good..it has a summer/fall feel to it…kinda jojo like though.
    tha kanye west and 50 cent remix is alrite though nothin to crazy about it….by the way check out this funny newsitcom: The Way We Live: http://vids.myspace.com/i...al&videoid=2047369552

  15. BAMMmm

    Cassie should had this as her second single after me n u/

    Cassie should jus say she is a rapper to end the hate lol

  16. itsmeyou'relooking4

    i don’t hear the j holiday song when i click on it the cassie song comes up

  17. georgia

    50′s verse on that remix is just the first verse from one of his songs from the massacre he has no creativity couldn’t even come up wit a new verse

    not impressed

  18. eeeewwww, why do I keep hearing cassie’s tired voice when I click the j. holiday link?

  19. Dame

    Cassie whatever
    J.Holìday I am so in love w/Bed I can’t move on. Good 2 C Ye and 50 enjoy their friendly competition.

  20. I Like everything xcept for that Cassie bullshit….

  21. ((( WHERE'S THE BALDWIN HILLS POST )))((( I'D LIKE TO THANK MS. "I'M NOT LIGHT SKIN; I'M PECAN TAN" FOR MAKING MY DAYS JUST A LITTLE MORE HILARIOUS )))

    Cassie sounds good. I don’t care if she’s not the best performer. Her CD was good too. Nice harmonies on this song.

    JHOliday’s link is playing the Cassie song. SIGH.

    I dont care for TPain nor Akon nor The Dream’s baby vocals.

    I like and dig Kanye but I’m not interested in listening to 50. Arent they sorta beefing over the same album date?

  22. MIzzchelle

    Cassie- That song did nothing for me. Next…….

    J. Holiday- I couldn’t hear it. But I’m sure it’s good

    T-Pain- it’s ok, not better.

    Kanye and 50 a good combo on this song.

  23. Poetic_lovagirl

    Im lol at some commenting on how they like the song and its not even working (J Holiday). lol that’s so funny .

  24. Lisa

    Poor Kanye Stronger is number 2 on Itunes, and now starting this week Billboard changed its rule. Airplay is worth more than downloads, where as, downloads use to be worth twice the amount of airplay. Now it’s Airplay (55%) Downloads (40%) Streaming (5%).

  25. sdotcarter

    Her voice is still horrible as I dont know what, I dont undertstand how this girls get to release albums and singles and getting to act in movies by being so talentless…I’m sure there are tons of stuggling actors who would love to star in “Step Up” yet they give the role to a her wack self??? Please dont support the movie…I see her music is still the Ryan leslie hot beat formula with her weak voice riding over the beat…woof@that whole thing..nextselection…NEXT!!!!

  26. everything is iight nothing that you’ll find me playing tho

  27. one tree hill

    I didn’t think cassie would ever come back with a single and it’s really good but her voice needs some help!! T-Pain remix was aiight to me.I agree with # 14 nothing to crazy happen to get up and jumpin’ to kanye’s song and what in the world happen to J.Hoilday, I was looking forword his sexy voice!!!

  28. ((( WHERE'S THE BALDWIN HILLS POST )))((( I'D LIKE TO THANK MS. "I'M NOT LIGHT SKIN; I'M PECAN TAN" FOR MAKING MY DAYS JUST A LITTLE MORE HILARIOUS )))

    You can listen to JHoliday’s on his myspace

    http://profile.myspace.co...ile&friendID=60561043

  29. I just like the music on the Kanye West track cause I can always do without 50.

    I like the T-Pain remix, but the unnecessary cussing wasn’t needed.

    I love J. Holiday music nuff said.

    Cassie was aight.

  30. missy

    cassie song- it ok but she still needs some more vocal lesson

    t-pain-the remix i aint felling the dream on this his part was horrible(he didn’t have to curse)

    j.holiday- i heard this song before and i love it ,it has a really cool feel

    kanye- its ok it just sound like some one just mixed 50 piece into the song(nothing really excitingl)

  31. sorry guys. the j. holiday link is fixed.

  32. ummm errrr

    The j. holiday song is okay. nutthin to earth shattering about its just okay.

  33. WTF

    Are y’all SLOW??

    The Stronger remix isn’t official. Duh.

    Someone on a board I go to put the blend together. It’s 50′s verse from Toy Soldiers from what I recall. Seriously. To poster #17… DUH. “unimpressed” … wow.

    And to Concrete Loop… get your facts straight before you guys put up artists music for free. Damn.

  34. You-Kay

    Big up concrete loop, just because #34′s a hater. Fix up!

  35. Cam

    j. holiday.. i like it.. its cool..

    as for the stronger “remix” thats just a verse off of 50′s song.. Toy Soilder.. its on The Massacre

    Cassie… go back into hiding

  36. MusicCritic

    That J.holiday song is ok But you guys should upload his better songs like Back of My lack,Without you,Pusher and Love Your Own those are his best songs that he has on his album . I try to not get hyped on J.holiday because I’m not sure if he going to make it because he is just another Sterling Simms They both should take writing for other artist for their side jobs.Maybe J.holiday will make it he needs to. R&B is dead right now we need to bring true R&B back thats what I see in him real music……………(Not Hating Just Saying).

  37. i LOVE j.holiday. im not gonna download anymore of his songs cuz i wanna buy the album. i hate to say it but he might be a one hit wonder. people may not be ready for the sound he’s tryna bring back. but i hope im wrong!

  38. Pineapple372

    Hated it!! All of it!! Dream is killin me.. okay you did the Rhianna song Umbrella, good for you SHE sung it great.. but him putting that Aye at the end of everything is making me question his masculinity married or not, NIVEA get your man boo boo. The lyrics were a little out there on that TPAIN remix, plus he needs to stop getting on every damn remix , song, chorus, damn it!!

    I was a big fan of Kanye West until the ending song on College Dropout The CD after that made me wonder if he visited a mental hospital during the break.. Im not hating but damn… 50 Cent I thought his ego killed GUNIT a long time ago, and I’m sure Curtis will be just as sweet and cocky!

    J Holi-No needs to stop the press and go back in the studio, why the hell are record labels allowing people to come out with these weak songs???? We the consumers need to stop falling for… well… anything.

    Poor Cassie, I’m a just leave her alone.

    Concrete.. post some Chrisette Michelle up here or some Old School songs and show these people what music is suppose to be about… a feeling.

  39. andreacky

    lol…i’;m going to listen to cassie and the t-pain remix…i’m betting 10$ that he’s sticking with the vocoder

    t-pain, it’s okay!

  40. Luvmusic

    The songs are ok But Hey Number 37 I agree with you all the way. Your right your not hating But you are stating them facts.

  41. Jordan

    the verse on the stronger remix wit fif is like 4 yrs. old somebody mixed that shit up prolly w/o the help of fif or gay ass kanye. o and why does every website feel the need to hate on the boss he’s gon run sept. 11 GGGG-Unit

  42. yes

    stronger is weaker with 50 on it, the rest were cool

  43. Hollywood J

    Yo the 50 verse on stronger is krazy sik so haterz can hop off queenz all day

  44. TIA

    Music is garbage these days its sad to say. I like T-Pain although hes a computerized singer, lyrics dont matter these days as long as u can bump your head to it and theres a hot chorus; unfortunately and T-Pain fits the formula. So why hate just congratulate and Im sure no one on this comment list can do any better. On a better note I must say T-Pain can rap though as for singing I gotta think on that one! lol

  45. omg….I like the Cassie song !

  46. No Cassie, just no.

    The Bartender joint is ok.

    Had already heard the other 2.

  47. vexxed

    If you’re gonna start with Cassie, I can’t be objective.

  48. vexxed

    Cassie is horrible.

  49. LOVEMUSIC

    YOU NEED CLYDE CARSON’S REMIX.

    Please post that.

  50. LOVEMUSIC

    I mean Clyde Carson’s remix of BARTENDER.

  51. cassie needs to sit her ass down somewhere.

    i’m suprised at j’s song… i don’t really like it..

    i think bartender was fine the way it was… i don’t like the dream so…yeah.

    and kanye’s record…. *yawn.

  52. AreYouSerious?

    You can;t help but love that Stronger song….but I can’t listen to the remix because I am at work:(

  53. tp

    50 cent runs this rap shit,

    Curtis Sept 11,

  54. KRoc

    I Have to cop kanye’s Cd when it comes out!I love that song! That will be the first cd i will buy in like 5 years..

    Cassie made it this far?! wat?
    the song is ok….

    gotta love that J. Holiday

    T pain is every where Its becoming annoying now…..

  55. Nica

    Damn, Concreteloop…

    That 50 verse is a blend, can’t you even tell by the rapping off flow and weird quality?

    Smh…

    Its from Toy Soldiers on The Massacre

  56. Daryl

    don’t like T-pain or Kanye so didn’t even bother listenin 2 them…

    J. Holiday – loving it.. loving everything this brotha do

    Cassie – sounds good, i like it

  57. Run Away Love

    Umm… They’re still allowing Cassie in the studio. She is by far the worst singer in the industry. She can’t even hold a note!

    Vocal lessons obviously didn’t help her….it’s like teaching a blind person how to drive…..it’s just not going to happen!

    I wish 50 cent would just disappear.

    T-pain sounds like a computer.

    J. Holiday has a nice voice ……but I don’t know about this song.

  58. Omg…Cassie’s voice hasnt matured one bit since she recorded Me&U in 05

  59. Cassie sounds good on this track. Step Up is a great movie.

    J.Holiday is so cute.

    I’m kinda tired of hearing Bartender…….but i like Akon (i know nobody else does. lol)

    i was in love with Stronger original version. this remix is iight too. and truth is nothin or nobody can fck up this sample. it’s sick. :)
