THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

Keyshia Cole – Truth (full) – listen
Here’s a track that’s unreleased from Keyshia’s Cole’s, Just Like You, released Tuesday. I actually kind of like the song, and I can see where it would fit in with the rest of the album, which is usually not the case with leftovers. I think that Keyshia’s voice sounds better than it ever has on Just Like You. I have a couple guesses as to who produced this track, but I’m not truth. Make sure you go out and cop the new album if you’re digging the new material from Miss Cole.

Jaheim – Never (full) – listen
I’ve never been a huge fan of Jaheim or his music for some reason. I think that since I’ve always been so attached to all of Tank’s album, including his latest one, Sex, Love & Pain, I just never got into Jaheim’s music, considering that I felt like his place was already taken. Also, after listening to this song, I have to admit that there’s no denying that Jaheim has a nice voice, but his material just sounds a little dated to me. I couldn’t see myself sitting around listening to this. But it looks like that means he has a new album in the works.

Fergie – Clumsy (full) – listen
I don’t see how Fergie has been putting out singles for so long! The Dutchess was released last year, but that’s sort of been the trend for the past couple of years. It seems that more currently, artists have been able to stretch their albums. Chris Brown did it with his first release, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce and others have managed to stretch their albums, and that’s a good look. “Clumsy” is the 5th single from Fergie’s album, produced by Will.I.Am. I’ve heard it on the radio a few times, so maybe there is a video in the works. I think this’ll probably be Fergie’s last single from the album.

Laurie Ann Gibson – Addictive (full) – listen
I find it hilarious that Laurie Ann Gibson has recorded a song. Over the summer, Angel posted a hot or not post with the snippet of this song, and now the full version has finally been released. I don’t know, I just don’t see it. Laurie Ann definitely is a great dancer, she’s proved that. But an artist? It just seems as though since the Making the Band 4 fiasco, she has been trying to keep her name afloat in the media. I think that Laurie Ann has made enough of a name for herself to continue to be a choreographer. I don’t think this is such a good idea.

  5. abovethespotlight.blogspot.com

  10. selina

    Waiting for that CD Jaheim,Long time comeing

  11. teacher

    jaheims joint is on point – listen to the words. As for the comparison to Tank, I don’t see it, Jaheim is the bruh from around the way who will get my two cents, Tank – never a dime.

  12. TONE

    I AGREE! JAHEIM IS WAY MORE AUTHENTIC THEN TANK.
    BOTH ARE GREAT VOCALIST BUT TANK HAS MORE OF A ROBOTIC SOUND
    WHERE JAHEIM SOUND IS MORE RAW, MORE PAIN, SOMETHING THATS VERY RARE NOW DAYS, AND VERY OVERLOOKED. K. COLES JOINT IS COOL
    TOO! BUT THE REST, WHO CARES.

  13. I’m loving Jaheim’s song, it’s dope. That’s some real R&B right there. His Teddy Pendergrass-sounding self can SING. I love his music. Looking forward to more music from him. I loved all his previous albums and the last one it debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts.

    Although I’m not a fan, but the Keyshia song sounds good.

  14. Kiyaz

    Laurie Ann Gibson trust me I won’t come around cause I really really don’t like your sound. Its not addictive it’s annoying and a generic copy of someone else’s sound.

    I love the Keyshia Cole song.

    I also loved Fergie’s song a year ago, a video for it would have caught my attention then not now.

  15. Bfrank

    Everybody is talking down on Laurie Ann’s song, but I believe that ya’ll are just following what Brian thought about it.

    Yes it kinda copies Fergie, but it’s not a bad song. Great dance track if you ask me. Come on people. You know Laurie ann is not about to be about the singing. It’s all about the performance, which we can all agree could possibly turn out to be very hott.

  16. FallBackHaterz

    I like the beat on clumsy…I think its gonna win me over, listening to it now

  17. L.b

    jaheim sounds like luther vandross kinda

  18. I was always a Jaheim fan. He can’t do anything wrong in my eyes. His first album “Ghetto Love” is a classic. He stays in the ghetto love mode. Love him……
    He is a sweetheart but if need be he will take it to the streets……Love him….:o)!

  19. yessier

    DON’T GROUP FERGIE WITH BEYONCE. AFTER A YEAR THE GIRL IS STILL IN THE TOP 10 ON BILLBOARD WITHOUT A RERELEASE. SHE DIDN’T FORCE SINGLES DOWN OUR THROATS LIKE BEYONCE, SHE DID IT BASED ON THE DEMAND FOR THE ALBUM.

    CHRIS BROWN DID PUT OUT A LOT AS WELL. GREAT LABEL THAT JIVE/ZOMBA

  20. Laurie Ann needs to be SHOT in the throat! The fuck she thinking about..
    I’m loving everything else. =]

  21. Alex314

    ummmmmmmm laruie ann is trying to sound like fergie with that single!!!! shes not gonna sell nothin shes too old!!!!!

  22. XOXMISSTIFFANEEXOX

    Laurie Ann Gibson – Addictive SOUNDS LIKE A FAKE ASS WANNA BE FERGIE..

    SHE DONT GOT IT!!

  23. Charm

    @ #13. I Totally agree with you… I’ve been a Jaheim fan since his very first album… And I love how he stays true to who he is… and his voice is so old school, but he has the umph about him that you really can’t comepare him to anyone… you don’t find r&b singers like this anymore… You have all these high pitch singers… That I love as well because I’m a fan of music… But sometimes I need to hear the voice of a real man… Deep voice and all!!!! Go Ja!!!

  24. SUPERCENT

    Jaheim was on the scene way before Tank. So Tank sounds like Jaheim. I always liked Jaheim and was wondering why he haven’t came out with new music. I guess he got tired of the gay questions.:)

  25. I’d pick Jaheim over Tank anyday. What is Brian talking about? Tank’s albums aren’t even close to being as good as Jaheim’s.

  26. Adigga

    Laurie Ann Gibson’s song is DEFINITELY not a good look! It is almost as if she is trying to sound like Fergie.

    Keep dancing and then regroup and come back with something different, something like Cassie, not a good singer but at least the tracks are tight.

  27. BREAKING NEWS! They found Nailah Franklin’s body!, so sad, i’m stunned!

  28. dee dee

    As far as stretching albums, Janet Jackson is the orginator of this, she has had a couple of albums where damn near every song came out as a single.

  29. Indygirl

    I love Fergie’s album. Clumsy is one of my top 3 favorite songs from the album. I am going to get that Keyshia Cole today and I hope it has as many hits as the first.

  30. Chillin @ Work

    Jaheim~~~> this song is beautiful…..Love the lyrics, the production and his soothing voice……lovely

  31. dee dee

    I like Keisha’s new song. Fergie songs have a tendancy to grow on me. Jaheim, not feeling it but he has a lot of potential, I liked some of his other albums. Laurie Ann What? Are you serious girl? Why your song sounds like it’s skipping? Stick to the dance moves but spend some time thinking about that real hard!

  32. Mz.Redd

    I love keyshia new CD its def for the ladies a lot of heartache and pain, but it also offers sum kick his ass to the curb songs too. I love keyshia because you can hear it in her voice that she’s singing about what she’s living and a lot of other females are living as well. Also her voice sounds a lot better on this album. If your not feeling it, it’s probably because ur not going thru n e of the things she’s singing about. But its def a good buy so go cop it today!!!! I’m from the Bay and I must say she’s making us all proud~!!!! Go Kesh, HATERS go hate cuz thats they job. If anybody deserves it you do because you’ve been at the bottom and now ur at the top!!!!!

    BAY AREA STAND UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  33. shaheta

    I love Jaheim he is an artist that is slept over and his musci is relaxing and wondering . I love it and all his music.

  34. Maggy

    Lauries song was whack!!! I found myself with my mouth open in shock at the thought that she “Miss Perfection” that the album was a good idea. Two thumbs down…

  35. Bre

    Laurie Ann Sounds Ridicliously Stupid!!!!

  36. MsShe

    Laurie Ann, Girl don’t do that again! Get somewhere and sit down!

  37. Have Not Thought of a New User Name

    @92 MZ.REDD

    I don’t think people are hating, I think it’s just a diffrence of taste in music. I still don’t think she is a great singer but I agree with you she has gotten better.

  38. KeyshiaColeFan

    i def agree wit # 92

  39. KEY

    who were you thinking Brian? Babyface?

  40. what in the WORLD?!

    you guys must be waiting on your 13th birthday or something re: this Jaheim vs. Tank argument. lemme break it down for you youngins:

    “Jaheim like TOTALLY came before Tank. Plus like idk u guys who heart Tank must be 4getting 2 support his CDs b/c Jaheim beats him in sales all day long. first!”

  41. Sexy

    Keyshia why did you keep this song from us???!!! I really like it. I have been listening to her CD everyday and absolutely love Heaven Sent. That is such a beautiful song and melody.

    Have any of you heard of Ledisi? I bought her CD on the same day I bought Keyshia’s and this girl is BAD! I mean the whole CD is crazy. I am skipping over a couple of Keyshia’s songs (sometimes songs have to grow on me) but Ledisi, every song was good when I initially heard them.

  42. Sexy

    I meant ‘Sent From Heaven’ regarding to Keyshia’s new CD. I am definitely going through what she is singing about. I think we need more songs like that. Songs that’s telling you to let him go, you deserve better, and you’re not going to stay home CRYING. You’re going to be out ‘having your fuuuun’.

  43. hood_shit

    “Truth” would have been a perfect addition to “Just Like Me”

    Jaheim has a beautiful voice, however “Never” is not timely

    Laurie Ann is “Addicted” to crack… stupid ass

    Fergie should have ended her run with “Big Girls Don’t Cry”

  44. hood_shit

    Keyshia and Jaheim should do a duet…. PURE GHETTO LOVE

  45. Missy

    Two words: Paula Abdul

  46. dimples2xs

    I have to say that Jaheim is Jaheim. He is one of a kind. He has a sultry soul voice. In my opinion he has only put out the best. Every CD he has made is great from start to finish. Some peeps don’t know what grown folks music is. Well, BOOM there you have it. Tank is okay but he is no comparison to Jaheim. He might have a couple of nice cuts on his CD but it’s not worth the $$$. But as for Jaheim, he is worth every cent. Song for song. It just don’t get any better than that. I know good music and I will have to applaud Jaheim on another job well done. I can’t wait for the CD to drop. I will be first in line because I know what I will be getting.
