THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

Alicia Keys feat. Cassidy – No One (Remix) (full) – listen
The more I heard the song, the more it grew on me. And now here’s a remix with Cassidy, who is ready to release a new album as well. This remix doesn’t differ too much from the original version of the song. I will say though, that I’m digging the new image Alicia went for this time around on the new album. She looks absolutely amazing in the new video. I am eager to hear some more material. There have been some live tracks floating around, but I always like to hear what Allcia’s music sounds like from the studio.

Cassie – In Love With the DJ (full) – listen
I posted a snippet of this song a couple of weeks ago, and I actually was kind of feeling it. Although I was expecting a little more from the full version, I still think it’s a cute song. I think what I like most about this song is the lyrics, more so in the verse than the chorus. Like on most of Cassie’s songs, she pretty much sings the same note the whole way through. The last few songs that I’ve posted from Cassie are to appear on her new album, due out sometime soon, tentatively titled The Return.

Britney Spears – Radar (full) – listen
The homies from The Clutch really put it down on this song for Britney. I am very excited for Blackout now that I’ve heard a large portion of the material that was recorded for those sessions. Although Britney may not have it all together, the team of producers and writers chosen for the project are stellar. Jive must be feeling a little confident too, because they moved Britney’s album release date up from the November to the 30th of October. But rumor also has it that they don’t want to compete with Celine Dion’s album being released on that November date.

Cherish – If He Ask Me (full) – listen
What makes this so funny to me is the fact that all of Cherish’s material runs together for me. This sounds like something they did on their first album, Unappreciated. I can’t tell the different between their new material and their old stuff. I mean, I guess it says that they’re consisted but it doesn’t tell me that there’s been any growth. But then again, I’m not quite positive of what it was that I was expecting. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Look out for Cherish’s new album in February of ’08.

    nowadays everybody is in love with the dj or what????

  2. caramella

    Poor Britney…hopefully she gets her act together.

    I am not feeling No One by Alicia…

    Cassie…NEXT!

  3. I’m not understanding why theCL audience would be interested in Britney Spears.

  4. cassie who??

    man she needs to go into another field

  5. And also just so you know, Britney is suing Perez Hilton for leaking out her album.

  6. Hi! I just bumped into something i thought ya’ll should know about. This sickens me.

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/a..._on_re_us/boot_camp_death

    i hope the link works.

  7. legedezbenz

    I agree meagan! britney doesnt exactly fit the target audience. NEXT! But don’t get me wrong, I wish her the best and i think the media is doing her dirty but I’d see her on People.com

  8. That's Wassup

    Alicia – I can’t believe she tried to turn that song into a club banger! lol Some songs should stay as is.

    Cassie – I’ll pass on listening!

    Brittany – Now that she don’t have the kids I’mma need her to get back in the studio faithfully and come with some fire. Something off to me about the song.

    Cherish – Still not sold on them yet. But, they very first single was the joint!

  9. Lyrically.Inclined

    I can see how the people that worked on Britney’s album are more applicable to our target audience….the individuals she’s worked with have a pretty heavy revelance to what’s ‘popular’ now….

    Nonetheless…The Clutch are a brilliant entity of writers…I heard Candice Nelson did most of the writing on that one (Radar)

  10. Mona

    Why does cassie still have a recording contract, diddy should have let her out of that contract after the 106 and park incident.

  11. Anon101

    Sorry to burst people bubbles here but everything the clutch do is not that hot especially with someone on the track who is a hot ass mess.

  12. ThugPpassion

    i LOVE concreteloop…… cant listen until i get home …… Hope i dont get a ticket speeding home from work

  13. I know we have told Cassie not to put out another song. Her and Kelly Rowland is hardheaded, modeling girls, modeling!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. NeshaNesha

    Like Alicia Keys and Cassidy.

    Cassie gets a Whatever and a Sour Face

    Britney gets a One Eye Brow look from me, the song has slight potential.

    And oh my goodness Cherish gets the Ultimate Sour Face from me, the type of sour face that you can only make if you were eating a cold lemon,with salt on it, while you lip was busted, and had a tooth ache. Ughhhh that song sucked.

  15. uhm

    britney is more pop than usual. this will be #1 again.

    alicia may need to cook up something else before the album comes out. i really don’t like the new song.

  16. 10. But it’s still Britney Spears

    It’s a lot of producers that would fit in our target that produced rock and country stars. But they won’t be on this site.

    But it’s not that serious I guess.

  17. CARLISSIA

    THE FIST TIME I DONT LIKE ANY OF THE SONG LOL A FIRST FOR ME

  18. sxycarmel26

    I like Alicia Keys,not feeling the rest

  19. dee dee

    There is no competition between Britney and Celine, two different demographics. But I would have no problem buying both.

  20. marly marlow

    ON MY RADAR!!! on my radar… :) Im gonna be saying that for the rest of the year.

  21. dee dee

    Don’t front like you don’t feel Britney. She bumps when she wants to.

  22. Alicia Keys and Cassidy…I hate “No One” and I do believe that song is mad overrated. The remix just puts out another dumb beat and a mixtape rapper.

    Cassie…just stay 100 yards away from the nearest studio!

    Britney Spears…she needs to be at home taking care of her 9 kids and stay in front of the tv eating cheetoes instead of singing (or non singing). Brian needs to seriously lay off the whole The Clutch thing…damn! We get it! You like the Clutch, and they don’t always put out quality songs (80% Good: 20% Bad)

    Cherish…stay your a$$es in Atlanta where you belong!

  23. dee dee

    Wow, some serious hate here. I can’t sing but if someone is going to pay me to do it….I’m singing all dayum day long. So if you can do it, do it!

  24. sdotcarter

    CL…..STOP POSTING ABOUT CASSIE..WE DONT WANT TO HEAR THE ONE NOTE SONGS ANYMORE!! RYAN LESLIE NEEDS TO STOP PUTING W/E EFFECT HE USES ON ALL OF HER SONGS…BECUASE IT DOESN’T SOUND GOOD!!!!…I PRAY TO GOD HER ALBUM DOESNT COME OUT….SHE IS A WASTE OF MONEY….

  25. Brittney From Toronto

    Doesnt that Britney Spears song remind u guys of that Outkast song Morris Brown from the soundtrackt of that movie they did

  26. sdotcarter

    RYAN…CASSIE VOICE NEEDS WORK AND THE EFFECT YOU USE TO ENHANCE HER VOICE MAKES IT SOUND BAD..TRY A DIFFERENT SINGER…..

  27. yeah......and what!

    HATED IT……… ALL OF IT!!!!! In the words of Men on film from In Living Color.

  28. dollfaced

    i think britneys date was moved up so she wouldnt have to compete with alicia keys. those albums were dropping on the same date. smart move because id never give britney a listen until she gets it together. i can’t respect her then i cant respect her work. it’s whatever.

    i like the other alicia keys remix better. i forget who is on it but definitely not as “popular” as cassidy. cassidy basically got showed up.

    cassie and.. lol i dont feel like scrolling up to remember that groups name – pass.

  29. Tear

    The last time I checked, Britney isn’t black…. Why is she on here?

  30. @ 23
    she only has two kids.
    hmmmm…wow people are hostile about brit and cassie………lol
    anyhoo My question is why are remixes the same as the original song? Is just throwing a rhyme or another singer on the SAME song classfies as a remix…..I just dont think they are remixes *sigh* maybe I should ask Diddy since he invented the remix.

  31. simone

    Cassies music is mean teen queen music its so teenage……. She has love from Ryan Leslie so hey shes set like so many non singers.
    Sit and look nice Rhianna,Cassie,to start it all off and the list goes on……..

  32. Nikki

    Britney hasn’t had a hit song in years Gimmie More and Baby One More time are her ONLY songs to hit top 5 on BB hot 100. Her songs don’t do well at all. Britney fans are enablers their more concerned about her album than her getting her act together which is more important.

  33. R Jizzle

    Ok, first of all I’m a Huge fan A-Keys every since I seen her perform on 106 park back in the day. The remix is ok, not one of the best! Cassidy does not fit good with it..they should’ve had Common or even Jay Z. Should help promote ..drink and two-step! NO MATTER.>>>NO MATTER what anyone says if you know real R&B you know ALICIA can sign out of a straw and still be FIERCE!!! THIS SONG IS BEST FEMALE R&B TRACK OF THE YEAR..EVERYTHING ELESE…..SUCKS!!! SORRY…

  34. simone

    Now If I was paid to just smile and go to all of the fly events/parties etc…. and travel w my non singing *** then SO BE IT……… I was just making a point

  35. Malaysia.

    I’m a Britney fan. Get at me for that, but I’m a fan. Ever since …Baby One More Time.
    But something about Radar is slightly off; I like it, but something’s just off. And it sounds familiar. Like an OutKast song… I think the one for their movie Idlewild.

    Cassie’s song irks me.

    The Cherish song actually does sound like something off Unnappreciated.

    I don’t like remixes so I didn’t listen to the Alicia Keys one.

  36. Brian, that Cherish song, it actually is from their “Unappreciated” album. I downloaded that song last year, but lost the file after my computer crashed.

    I used to like Cherish, but that was just a faze.

    Britney – Shouldn’t she be singing “Gimme Kids”?

    Asinine – yawn.

  37. sassysexychick

    Britney track sucked!!!!!

    cassie’s track is sorta cute

    alicia’s song is beautiful

    well i didnt have the time to listen to cherish

  38. Kim

    Shut Up Megan. Why Wouldn’t we be interested in Britney?

  39. Lily

    Nikki, I just looked and you are right Britney only has two hit songs Hit Me Baby and Gimmie more and that is because of Itunes it is losing spins on Radio. The only other three songs that Made top 10 were Drive Me Crazy #9 Toxic #9 and Opp I did it again #10. The way people talk about her it’s like she had 10 number 1′s or something. All the rest of the songs flopped.

    So WHY is she so popular , most of her songs flop?

  40. CLEARMINDED

    Cassie is still singing?

    That Alicia remix was a hot mess. Where did they get the beats, an old Casio?

    NEXT……….

  41. Kim

    I really like britney’s new stuff, and yes I am black. Good music is good music regardless of who’s singing. I personally don’t give a damn about britney’s personal life. Give me the damn music !

  42. love the britney joint!!!!!!

  43. Lily

    #42 That’s why her album get bad reviews because it’s “Good” music I guess.

  44. sdotcarter

    ALICIA KEYES IS OVERATTED AND BEEN PLAYIN HERSELF THESE LAST YEARS TRYNA BE SEXY AND CUTE AND WHEN SHE KNOW SHE IS ROUGH…HER NEW VIDEO ANNOYS ME AND SHE HAS MONEY TO GET A GOOD DERMATOLOGIST…DONT UNDERSTAND WHY SHE IS STILLLL SPORTIN ACNE…..LIKE HUGE PIMPLES….COMMON ALICIA…DRINK SOME WATER SWEETIE

  45. Jay

    #3 some people like all kinds of music… that was a racist comment.. and for a person to not numberstand why it’s on this site… you sure no a hell of alot about her…

  46. KSH

    AKeys – I can get with that. I bump “No One” at least 10 times a day!

    Brit – HAM! I been over Brit…oops I did it again!

    Cassie – no thanks

    Cherish – I feel unconstipated…LOL

  47. Brittney From Toronto

    YALL DONT THINK BRITEYS SONG SOUNDS LIKE THAT OUTKAST SONG MORRIS BROWN FROM THE IDLEWILD SOUNDTRACK

  48. Cj

    I have never liked britney and always thought that she sucked.
    Cassie also sucks
    Alicia I just have no interest in because she is boooorang!
    Commercial music is in a helluva state right now.
    Peven Everett is dope

  49. M-SAW

    STOP HATIN!! BRITNEY SONG IS HOT… I BET YALL THAT SHE IS GOIN TO HAVE A “MARIAH” COME BACK!! HER PERSONAL LIFE MITE BE CORUPTED BUT HER MUSIC IS BRING BACK THE REAL POP. WHO CARES IF HER SINGLES ARE DOIN WELL, HER CDS ARE GOIN DIAMOND NOT PLATINUM. SHE IS SELLING OVER 10 MILLION COPIES…. THE REST BOO.

  50. Diabolical

    Stop hatin on Britney, she’s trying to come back and I absolutely love her effort. I’ll be buying this as soon as it comes out. HECK YES.

    Cassie needs to stick to modeling.

    Don’t like Alicia’s song but I’m hoping the rest of the CD is better.

    Cherish … Meh.

  51. Anonymous

    This site needs to stop posting Britney’s music. I just don’t understand why America gives this untalented ho so much press. The girl has always been whack! She just uses sexual imagery to sell records, and her management team was great. They are the ones who deserve all the accolades and awards for making a girl who can’t sing for her life an instant millionaire!

  52. UB

    Alicia Keys- She bores me. She sings from her throat, but ppl love her for some reason.
    Cassie- Sounds nice if you are in the club drunk.
    Brit- I dont care anymore.
    Cherish- I stopped caring when ppl started snapping on the West Coast.

  53. OOHHHH MY SWEET JEEBUS ….. the NO ONE remix is hotnesssssssssssssssssssss son!

    That Cassie song is so old…..didn’t like it too much when I first heard it….don’t hate it though.

    Listening to anything Britney Spears is PAINFUL.

    I like Cherish but I don’t feel this song too much. I don’t think it’ll grow on me too much either.

  54. Anonymous

    And some of you people keep using the term hate so loosely. So what if CJ doesn’t like Britney or thinks that she sucks! Thats his/her personal opinion. Hate is when one is jealous and he or she wants something that somebody else has. Who the hell would want to be so talentless that by the time that you lose your management your career takes a nosedive? Point blank Britney would not be that famous without her management!

  55. JoRo

    I’m not a huge Britney fan, but a lot of her new tracks have crossover appeal so why shouldn’t they be posted just because this is a Black site? LOL @ people saying she’s a flop when she’s sold over 70 million records worldwide. I’m not ashamed to admit I like both “Gimme More” and “Radar”. No thanks to the Cassie “song”, and Cherish need to come with something new.

  56. M-SAW

    @56 & 42… YALL R RITE ON DA MONEY. SHE HOTT!!

  57. just saying

    #52- who doesn’t use sexual imagery?

    Anyway, I like Brit and I am black. CL should not be confined to posting just about black people. That’s absurd. And Iike the song. I’m glad to hear something other than the “snap your fingers” movement.

    AKeys- remix is okay. Like original better

    Cassie- no comment

    Cherish- love them. Do your thing my young black sisters.

  58. Haughty

    Don’t like none of the tracks shocked by the britney info(her chart toppers) i always thought she had #1′s bc of the way they talked about her.

    Alicia she is blah to me, so borrrriiinnnggg!!!!
    I so agree with #45& 49

  59. mr.asshole

    cassie… please stop singing… you better start porno career
