Usher feat. Pharrell - Only One (snippet) - listen
This song could have been good, but then when I heard the chorus I just cringed. I mean, maybe it’s because it’s not mastered or mixed. It’s like, I don’t know, the song had the potential to be really good, but it just doesn’t sound finished. From past experiences, The Neptunes and Usher usually collaborate well together (”U Don’t Have to Call,” “Sweet Lies,” and “I Don’t Know”) but there have been some mishaps, for instance, the unreleased tracks, “I Heard A Rumor” and “Wifey,” which both had holes in them to me. I see the direction this one’s going in, I hope they can get it there.
Cheri Dennis - Dropping Out of Love (full) - listen
As some of you may or may not know, Cheri Dennis released her debut album, In & Out of Love via iTunes earlier this month. It’s been said that the album will be released in stores next year, February 26th. In any event, I’m glad that Bad Boy finally let her put out some product. I’ve listened to the album a few times, and I think that it’s a pretty consistent effort. It’s very much so 90’s - it sounds like old classic Faith on Bad Boy to me. “Dropping Out of Love” is one of my favorite cuts from the album.

The currently untitled new project from Janet Jackson is set to release at the first music quarter of next year, in February of ‘08.
Janet recently parted ways with Virgin Records and is now teamed up with Island Def Jam. This will be her first release on the new label, with Antonia “LA” Reid having executive producer credits on the new album. Boyfriend and producer Jermaine Dupri is busy working on Mariah’s new project, and he had this to say:
“We’re going to make it seem like we’re in competition to see who’s going to have the biggest album of the year,” he told Billboard in July.
The artist is also prepping a worldwide tour to promote the follow-up to 2006’s 20 Y.O., which should be quite interesting. In addition, Jackson has signed with the William Morris Agency for representation in all areas. I don’t know about you, but I am interested to see what a new Janet tour will be like.
