NEW MUSIC: NICOLE WRAY – “STAND UP”

♫ Nicole Wray – Stand Up

Anybody remember Nicole Wray? She only released one album and struggled to release new material over the past few years. I actually liked the direction that she was going with her track “If I Was Your Girlfriend,” a couple years ago, but it didn’t catch on as well as I thought it would. Over the last couple years, I’ve posted a couple of new tracks from Nicole, like “Take Your Man” (supposedly produced by Rich Harrison), but none of them seemed to produce any buzz.

This new single, “Stand Up” is produced by Dame Grease, and is apparently from a new album that Nicole plans to release sometime during 2008. I like the production of it, but I’m not sure if I’m quite sold on the song. I want to hear some more material to see what direction Nicole’s going in.

Check Nicole out on MySpace to see what she’s been up to and for more information on her upcoming project.

  6. 8baller

    Damn where has she been? I was feeling her a while back and then she just disappeared off the map. I love her voice, but not sure about the song.

  7. Sandra

    One of the best voices of our time…i mean Nicole can BLOW…her and Lil Mo are the most underated artist in the game…Nicole is coming!!!

  8. I’ve always liked Nicole Wray, and felt bad how she kinda fell off even though she’s been fighting hard to release material.

    Honestly, the song is unremarkable. sorry. :-/

  9. malcolm

    its funny how lot of you ppl don’t like this song which is a very good song , but you were all talking how janet piece a garbage song was hot. gimme a break ! seems like you love the artist and not the song they sing. this song is way better than janet garbage

  10. I always liked her lips and eyes…sexy chocolate!

  11. Jamie

    I don’t like the lyrics or the content in general. Is generic at best (sip on Patrone, get your hair done for your man blah blah). I think she needs to go back in the studio and try again.

  12. Tamara

    I love her voice. My favorite Nicole Wray song will always be “Eyes Better Not Wonder” (not sure about the title). I love that song and that is a beautiful picture of her.

  13. Tamara

    #10….I agree. I just saw the Janet video the other day and I thought the song was just okay. It was nothing to jump up and down about. I was actually disappointed. We hear talk of how all these younger singers are recycling her style. But she’s doing the same damn thing! It’s time to hang up the towel as far as I’m concerned. Twenty years is enough….

  14. AWJ12687

    I like the song it’s catchy and the production is hot. I wonder if it’s going to radio or if it’s just a buzz single. I don’t know who Dame Grease is but he has some talent.

  15. Becca the Promo Mami

    i used to LOVE nicole wray :: ‘i got what u want’ was my soooong in like 5th grade lol

  16. Mz.Washington

    and “silly love songs”

  19. Do your thing Nicole! I used to love her back in the day as well. Remember Missy’s “All in my Grill”? And of course, “Make it Hot”. Too bad she fell off….the song is okay, nothing too special…

  20. Queen Tee

  22. briana

    i’ve never heard of her before, but i like this new single

  23. I Wish I Could Of Had A "My Super Sweet 16" But Im Like 2 Old:(

    Yes!! I 2 loved “I Got What U Want, I Got What U Need, Can I Get Anotha Shot, This Time Ima Make It Hot” That was my jam, and @ Tamara, u on it girl, “Eyes Better Not Wander” was crack!! Dope song! Ay, Concrete Loop, why dont yall start a Throwback section and play all those old bangers from back in da day! Not too far back though, like early to mid 90s. I need 2 find “Shorty Swing My Way” by KP and Envi out of Atlanta. Anybody got a link?

  24. JLHJ

    DIS JUNT HOT! HOPE MEMPHIS PICKS TH IS SONG UP. WE VERY PICKY BOUT MUSIC.

  25. Dame

    @17 I still play Make It Hot! I like this.

  26. Daryl

    i’m loving this… i’ll get her album when it come out

  27. Karee

    Nicole fell by the wayside due to Aaliyah blowing up and after she died; Ciara was next in line…..Nicki just wasn’t aggressive enough or wasn’t willing to be Missy’s flunky

  28. kendra

    she sounds like fantasia…

  29. PRINCE

    Not blown away by the song but i LOVE Nicole and would love for her to get her spot back. I mean this a girl that can siiing y’all.

  30. I used to love her first album, but i hate to say that this song is still stuck in 1998

    This song is so freakin’ H-O-T! The people that don’t like this song are upset cause it doesn’t apply to them…listen to the freakin’ lyrics! Stand Up only if your HOT…sit you fuglee self down if your not! All the beautiful ladies can relate. I NEED A NICOLE WRAY ALBUM BAAAAAAAAAD! Homegirl is soooooo fly! I met her in the ATL a couple weeks ago and she is one cool chicka!

  33. Stacy

    I mean the production is pretty hot, but TO ME the song is kind of your ordinary, run of the mill, Christina MilianISH “Say I”, BeyonceISH “Get me Bodied”, Mary J BligeISH “Just Fine”, “people are gonna hate —but you do you boo!” song. I love these songs but I think the subject matter is getting old. I don’t know maybe I’m just on the vibe of Emily King, Estelle, Ledisi and Chrisette Michele right now…..

  34. Kelley

    I like Nicole Wray..She is an awesome singer and very pretty in my opinion. I wish her luck on her new project.

  35. Ladyssolady

    I like this song. Always liked her voice. ‘Eyes Better Not Wander’ was/is my joint!

  36. circa-81

    The song is alright, but she is one sexy a$$ dark chick.

  37. brooklyn fly 23

  38. kingdom

    HOT! nicole is the truth. All these rihanna types need to get off the radio and give a real singer some space!

  39. Elijah

    Nicole is a great talent and i very want to listen her new album. But i want to say, that this song is not look like great back of her. Song “Friend” is more powerful & stronger than it.

  40. team.h0v&b33

    CANT COMPARE TO,

    ” IF I WAS YOUR GIRLFRIEND, IMAGINE WHAT U COULD BE NOW, I WANNA TAKE MY CLOTHES OFF CAUSE U GOT MY BODY HOT, AND READY TO FREAK OUT”

    HER BEST SONG HANDS DOWN!!

    I STAY BLASTIN IT, HAHAHA

  41. Greatestloveofall

    YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, I LOVE NICOLE WRAY. I REALLY HOPE SHE GETS THE CHANCE TO BRING OUT THIS NEW ALBUM AFTER TWO-SHELVED ALBUMS. SHES SO GORGEOUS AND HAS A UNIQUE VOICE.

  42. yup ....you right

    she sounds like a young Mary J Blige. I love Nicole I just haven’t been feeling any of material since she parted ways with Missy. But this song is kinda hot i like it.
    this is the best song I have heard from since her departure from The Gold Mine inc.
    Good work Nicole…now try to get that sophmore CD out please, even if you gotta do it yourself

  43. Trackmistress

    Now Dis chick iz tha TRUTH!!! Really hope she gets her album out dis time round. Homegirls underrated as hell and that aint right. She got the voice, the songs AND the looks. Go head gurl.

  44. Greatestloveofall
