THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

Mary J. Blige feat. Ludacris - Grown Woman (full) - listen
The Mary J. Blige album, Growing Pains, due out next Tuesday has pretty much leaked in its entirety. I’ve liked everything I’ve heard so far, including this track. “Grown Woman” is an up tempo jam, which Mary seems to be having a lot of fun with these days. In the song, she pretty much calls out labels the whole time, which many artist seem to be turning to these days. I think this song could definitely be single material for her - it’s very radio friendly. Especially with Ludacris on it. Growing Pains is sure to win Mary some new fans.
The Dream - Nikki (full) - listen
“Nikki” is one of my favorite songs from the Dream’s debut, Love/Hate, which hit stores yesterday. I don’t know what it is about the material on his album, I just like the progression of the whole album, and it goes through several different movements. “Nikki” reminds me of a Prince song - especially lyrically. I think that’s what’s got me hooked on listening to this album. Although his voice does get to me sometimes, I definitely think he’s made his point as far as composition of records. Shout out to him for putting me in his thank you’s. I definitely apprecaite it.
Timbaland feat. Keri Hilson & Nicole Scherzinger - Scream (full) - listen
“Scream,” taken from Timbaland’s most recently effort, Shock Value is supposedly the 5th and last single from the album. “Scream” was among my favorites on Shock Value. Timbaland has really been milking this album for all it was worth. Despite mixed reviews from critics, it seems as though he’s still going hard, and apparently, he’s already started working on another album. Should be interesting. It’s been a great past couple years for him. Also, Keri let me know that they’re shooting a video for the song on the 18th. It should be quite interesting!
Bow Wow & Omarion feat. Cassidy & Soulja Boy - Girlfriend (Remix) (full) - listen
Faceoff was released on Tuesday. Not really into the remix too much, but then again, I can’t say that I was completely into the song to begin with. I filed through the album, but didn’t really listen to the whole thing. I guess because I wasn’t impressed by the bulk of the material that had leaked from the album. This song is just all over the place for me. It just goes in too many directions and then turns out to be completely anticlimactic at the end. But I’ll probably give the album another listen.

But someone obviously heard it…. which is likely his intention. To catch the attention of those looking for fun, to also find information. Ironically, That’s the power music has.
He can discuss whatever he wants. He’ll likely continue until Angel bans him. Of course, he hasn’t done anything wrong. So, just read it, and move on.

To be honest I do not like Omarion nor Bow Wow. Omarion is more because of his music and his outspoken distaste to darker-toned fmales just because of their complxions when his mother is darker than himself and he’s dark chocolate-type of brown. And Bow Wow because of his attitude, cockiness, and his inhumane ability to diss almost every other entertainer and diss his ex-girlfriend hard while being interviewed on radio and act like a sweet little punk on TV. But I must say I like some of the songs on the album. Like “Hey Baby (Jump Off)”, “He Ain’t Gotta Know” and “Bachelor Pad”. Someone was right when they said “they really stepped their game up”. But I got tired of listening to Bow Wow constantly talk about sex with groupies. I really wished they had done songs about even more mature topics. Even “Listen” and “Can’t Get Tired Of Me” are mature. Overall I would give that album 3 stars out of 5 stars. I thought the album was great compared to past work. They still need to go harder if they want raspect they feel they deserve. Did anyone else watch “Road To Platinum” last night. That guy was dogging them hard, but Bow Wow deserves a piece of his own medicine. That way he can learn to respect his entertaining/musical peers. Did anyone else catch him slightly dissing Jay-Z???
