THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW
Friday, October 12, 2007

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.

#6 THANKS FOR THE LINK..THAT IS DISTURBING..BUT THE LAWYER SAID IT PERFECTLY
You kill a dog, you go to jail,” said her lawyer, Benjamin Crump. “You kill a little black boy and nothing happens.” He spoke outside court, which is across the street from the now-closed Bay County boot camp.

@74 Britney has a 1 diamond album.
How many diamond albums do Destiny’s Child, Beyonce and Christina have put together?
Zero!
Who cares about number ones? It’s actual ALBUM sales that matter.

ok let me school u britney haters on y she was the biggest pop star of her time i am 20 years old i brought britney first album back in january of 1999 when i was only 12 the album sold 14 million copies and was certfied diamond.the rest of her albums all sold from 8 to 12 million copies eash.brits singles dont do that well but the videos were all way hot and that would bring attention to her albums.britney was a product she had her own stickers,magents,purses,dolls penciles,notebooks,bookbags,keychains and all that mess the girls face was on everything .christina aguliera and jessica simpson tried to outdo her but she shut them down everytime britney has sold 85 million recored worldwide not 70 or 75.she had a greatest hits album when she was only 22 she got a star on the hollywood walk of fame when she was only 20.even though brit sold so many records she only won one grammy and that was in 2005 for best dance track for toxic.her new album is going to be off da hook but the album only had 13 tracks and perezhilton leaked 7 of those songs and 18 unrelaeased songs so his ass is getting sued out this world,

lmao @jessica simpson trying to outdo someone.jessica tried to cop britney’s style back in 2000 when she released her 2nd album and flop out this world but i think all jessica’s albums flop except the one she made when she was married.but anyway keke i think britney was maybe 18 or 19 when she got her star on the hollywood walk of fame cause she looks very young in the pic with the star. but yes mamm she did have a greatest hits album when she was only 22 and i swear u can listen to all 17 songs on that album with out skipping one.but she needs to to work with pharrell cause he wrote and produced im a slave 4 u and boys from her third album and it was off da chain.

I’m wondering if this is an official remix for No One, i think the DJ hooked it up for his mixtape. I personally lovvvvvve the original song, just call my cell and you’ll see how much! The only ponint in this remix, is it may get Alicia played in the clubs which could only be a good thing for her. Either way the CD is gonna be fire 11/13
I’m not feeling this Britney stuff, not because it isn’t catchy or because the beats aren’t hot, but because there is no artistry. This album has no concept, no known direction other than throwing money at the top producers. I’m sure if Cherish got this kinda budget they would jump off. She isn’t even promoting this CD. Look at the crappy video for GimmeMore. I don’t think Brit needs to worry about Celine, she was also up against Alicia. All 3 of the ladies are totally different I don’t think one would hurt the other much, but Jive needs this CD to be #1 with no worries because they have obviously spent a grip on it.
Cassie and Cherish should hang it up if this is all they have to offer.

True that onle Baby One More Time and Gimme More were the only songs on the Billboard Top 5, but if you check out her WORLD numbers, you would see that she had about 7 or 9 of her songs making it to #1 Worldwide, so her songs didn’t flop.

It’s the strange phenomenon with Britney Spears. She DOES CHART more than most artists, but yeah, she doesn’t have that many number 1 hits. What’s strange about that is her albums ALWAYS sell like crazy, and when ever she releases a video it stays at the top of the TRL countdown for weeks. You would think she’d get more radio spins, and she DOES in Europe. The problem is she’s really not respected in the US. A lot of radio stations won’t play her stuff as often, but as you can see that’s never stopped her.
I mean, for example, Baby One More Time was the only #1 off of her first album, but that album went DIAMOND. NOBODY can fuck with that, #1s or not…

Wait…britney spears isn’t in our target audience because shes white? Wow that not only sounds extra ignorant, but doesnt make sense…white and other non african decent people bought britney’s last album…plenty of African Americans are more interested in other genre’s of music besides rap, hip hop, and r & b. Beats, using base, voice inflection, most of it was derived from African music…so MUSIC is our genre…and music has no color dumb ass. KEEP POSTING CL.

Oh yeah and one more time…no pun intended…umm anything in Billboard top 10 is HARDLY flopping….how many of those other artist have gone DIAMOND sweetie…she has proven herself as an artist…and she never tried to sing any soul songs, or made pretenses about a great voice that she doesnt have….yeah before her current flop people didnt know much about her personal life because this blogging celebrity super obsessive-ness wasn’t as much
…her eff ups with her kids, husband, showin her cooch or whatEVER has nothing to do with the fact that the highest rated MTV VMA’s besides this last one have had EVERYTHING to do with her opening the show…please. Britney is laughin because her ass is makin 800,000 dollars a month being a hill billy eff up and people like yourself are worrying about her.

Are you people serious!
Having a # 1 single means absolutely nothing, especially if your album flops!
Look at Cassie, she had a hit song and her album flooooopped…..Party like a rockstar people ……album flopped…Sean Kingston…album flopped..and the list goes on and on………….
BRITNEY SPEARS MOVES UNITS……..and at the end of the day that is all that matter.
All the songs are trash. I wonder what Cassie’s camp is going to do when she has to sing live again. Who would honestly buy her CD?

@30 a very ignorant statement.
In terms of her singles flopping. number 1 singles dont guarantee album success look at Rihanna she had a monster single and didnt move that many units. ( I dont think she even went plat. — correct me if im wrong pls.) Point is Britney has surpassed the pt. of someone just buying the album because of her name. Few few ppl have the pleasure to brag about their albums sales, she may be in a rut now but there is hardly anybody from from our era that could challenge her overall success as an artist.Now I have all her cd’s all except the gretaest hits, she switches it up, u get a variety of sounds so at the end of they day i rather her focus on a solid dance album than a solid single.
@the person who said everyone who buys a Britney CD is stupid, I resent that. It’s just a matter of taste she gives me what I want to hear so I support her, that’s it. If you dont like her music that’s fine but dont put down others that do.
Brian maybe you should check out Been a while/ break the ice if you haven’t already.
My 2nd and 3rd albums —- Alicia and Britney

And to Brain, please keep posting any other tracks from Brits new album. To all who keep questioning why Brian is posting her music: believe it or not but a lot of her new material and old appeals to an urban crowd. That tends to happen when u work with urban producers, look at Fergie, Gwen, and JoJo, no one had issues when their music was being posted. I think a lot of people have issues with Brit because of the simple fact that she’s going through a meltdown, she’s human, it happens to the best of us. Give her time she’ll get it together.

I don’t like “No One”….but I’m an AK fan, so I’ll buy the CD next month. As far as Britney is concerned, I’m not gonna front, I like Gimme More. If I can listen to non- singing chicks like Janet, Rhianna, Ciara, I can give non-singing Brit a chance too. I have it on my IPOD and bump it er’day, no lie.

@109, Britney’s had more solo albums out, but none of the other mentioned ladies will probably ever sell as many albums as she did. Who cares about Grammy’s? It’s not like they actually award the best artists of the year. Besides Brit can always win more Grammys, but Bey is gonna have a helluva time trying to sell over 14 mill cds in the U.S. No disrespect to her, of course.

Who cares about Britney, for real?Stop putting this trainwreck on a pedestal.People in fact need to stop putting celebrities on pedestals because they all on the same level we are.It seems that many of you are concerened with her “album sales” instead of her “well-being,” so called “fans” i see.

Cassie- Girl just keep your mouth shut & stick with modeling. Everyone has seen the vid of you trying to sing on youtube & it’s clear YOU CAN’T!
Britney - The song is ok. I actually kind of like it.
Cherish needs to come with something fresh and new. Change it up girls!
