THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

Thursday, August 9, 2007

Joe - My Love (full) - listen
I was very impressed with the bulk of the material that Joe had on his latest album, Ain’t Nothin’ Like Me. I had been waiting on the album since last summer when he’d released “Where You At” (featuring Papoose) to radio, as well as the few songs (”Go Hard” written/produced by Bryan-Michael Cox) had leaked. From what I know, this will be the third single that Joe will release from the album, but it just seems like it hasn’t been talked about much. “My Love” is a nice slow jam, also written and produced by the homies Bryan-Michael Cox, Kendrick Dean and Johnta Austin.

Trey Songz - Grub On (Live) (full) - listen
I’ve been e-mailed this song more than a few times, so I had to post it. First of all, I was just wondering what this song was about immediately after reading the title. “Grub On?” Are you serious? I knew that it wasn’t about to be about food. I just knew it. But low and behold, there I was, scratching my head about 30 seconds into the moment that I hit “play.” I have a couple of questions for Trey after this one.

Amerie - Crush (full) - listen
“Crush” is said to have been confirmed as Amerie’s 4th single in the UK. Thank God for it being in the UK and not over here in the States, because she seriously needs to be pushing “That’s What U R” over here. In all honesty though, I do not hate this song. It’s light and airy and makes me think of times past, for some reason. It just feels very early ’90’s, maybe even on the cusp of ’80’s. I’m surprised because most of the material from Amerie’s Because I Love It really just annoyed me.

Keri Hilson - After Love (full) - listen
This song isn’t actually “new,” but I’m sure there are some fans out there that would like to hear the version of “After Love” with just Keri, and no Diddy. So it may be new to some. This is actually one of my favorite songs from Diddy’s much-stretched (hey, he’s had a lot of singles) album, Press Play and the collaboration he did with Keri is one of the best on the album. Keri’s voice just rides the Danjahandz track immaculately. She really just sounds great to me. I can’t wait for her debut album, In A Perfect World.

I really don’t care to talk about anyone’s music posted except Amerie. I read the comment that says find your own style…WTF…She has her own style. Her first album was on point (still listen to it, like it just came out), her second album was on point & it was completely different from the first album (still listen to it, like it just came out), her mixtape came out (pure fire)! And this album is great. Paint me over is the best cut hands down, but the album is fire, again it is completely different from all the other albums she put out prior. It took me a listen or two for some of the tracks, but now I have to listen to at least one of her cd’s before I go to bed. I don’t expect everyone to like her, but she isn’t a flop or half as awful as some make her out to be. Her pen game is crazy…..WHEW!lol
P.S Crush really jams if you don’t try to compare her with other artists. It really fresh!…..Toodles

even though ya trey sounds like r.kelly and the topic sounds similar..its because track was produced by r.kelly..i actually think hes featured on it but since this was ripped from a performance ofcourse trey will sing kelly’s part.

I guess everyone has a different opinion. I like Amerie’s song. It’s cute, the lyrics are sweet. Keri’s song is not bad. Trey Songz should be shot for making that crap. I thought it was a joke, I didn’t think that was a real song…until I actually read people’s comments on here saying they like it….WTF??? Talk about having no lyrical creativity.

Are you sure that’s Trey Songz? Sounds more like a mini R. Kelly. That’s a mess!

Crazy Wonderful is the best song on Ameries new album. Her voice iz so smooth on it. She needs to release that song in the U.S instead of this one.

@76 and Everyone else who appreciates Amerie’s hustle…

She is in a totally different lane and you can tell she loves what she does (Because I Love It). She wrote all her songs on this album and co-and executive produced it. She wanted to take credit for herself. Rich Harrison was Amerie. Yes, he wrote all her songs and produced all her tracks. Amerie was probably the singer he always wanted to be as strange as that sounds. But to everyone who is saying she should get back, “they had chemistry”. Yeah maybe in the future but Rich Harrison was collecting all her money!!! When you don’t write or produce (Rihanna) you don’t get
any money. Unless you can luck up a signature Umberella-ella or American Express deal then your SOL if your records don’t sell (Toni Braxton). She just wanted to be her own woman and you can’t fault her for that!

And…the only reason her album hasn’t come out in the US yet is because their is a hell of a fall line-up this year:

Swizz Beatz
Janelle Monae
J.Holiday
Trey Songz
Kanye West
50 Cent
Janet Jackson
Mariah Carey
Usher

Amerie is do her own thing with the 80’s style, and I respect her for that. It’s too bad people in the states will only buy what their radio stations think is cool. This is exactly why whack-ass singers like Rihanna’s non-singing ass is so successful. Brian I wish you would show Amerie more support. At least she’s not jumping on this whole techno-future shit like other singers out here.

Trey Songz sounds like R.Kelly on the song “Grub On” because R.Kelly is actually featured on the song.

Trey Day! (Oct.2)

After listening to the other three songs, i have to say I liked both Amerie and Keri’s songs.

Trey Songz’s Grub On -is nothing new (as far as the concept) it is what is! I can’t say I totally don’t like it,but it just the same ole package wrapped in a different bow!

Overall, I think all are okay songs!
