THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

Kanye West feat. R. Kelly - Flashing Lights (Remix) (full) - listen
Sorry about the delay on this guys, it was a pretty busy (extended) weekend. Here is the “Flashing Lights” remix that everyone has been going off about it. Personally, I can do without R. Kelly. I’m not gonna lie and say that he doesn’t add a certain energy when he gets on a song, but it just gets a little monotonous and repetitive. I prefer the version with just Kanye, in all honesty. I still can’t wait for the video, which stills have leaked from.
Erykah Badu - The Healer (full) - listen
Here’s another song from Erykah Badu’s new album, Nu AmErykah. I have always loved Erykah Badu, and I actually really love the production on this song, as well as her delivery. Even though this is lacking some actual singing, I like the way she delivers the song. And although it feels like it’s got some gaps in it, I found myself really bobbing my head as the song progressed. Upon more listens, I was getting into the lyrics. I thought because of “Honey,” Erykah, as creative as she is, didn’t have anything to talk about anymore. Proved me wrong! Nu AmErykah is due out February 26th.
Cassie - Untitled (snippet) - listen
In earlier interviews about Cassie’s new album, she mentioned hitting the studio with The Neptunes. I’m assuming that this untitled snippet is a product of that studio time. The song sounds unmixed, but I actually like the production. It’s a shame that in more recent interviews, Cassie has not mentioned that she went into the studio with Pharrell or Kanye, and has just been making mentions of the collaborations between Danja, Bryan-Michael Cox and Ryan Leslie. However, this could be an R. Les production. It wouldn’t be the first time he’s produced something with the signature Neptunes sound.
Chris Brown feat. Will.I.Am - Picture Perfect (full) - listen
Produced and featuring Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas, “Picture Perfect” is the follow-up single to Chris Brown’s acoustic “With You.” Even though I like this song on the album, I do not think it’s an excellent single choice for Chris. In any event, he is still on his tour, and the album is actually doing really well. Chris’s “Kiss Kiss” is still on the charts, with “With You” climbing high and certainly getting a good amount of video play.

@starry night
first off if you have a problem with anything he is or is not featuring or covering, why not email him personally instead of blast him publicly for entertainment reasons only (not to actually get improvement). Why attack somebody personally, that shows your intelligence level.
And second just because someone comes to someones defense, doesn’t mean they are gay or on pay roll and riding someones nuts, i am sure there are other read your post and felt the same way i was just MAN enough to say something. i am not here to “cyber beef with you becuz obviously you are not on my educational or maturity level. so you work two jobs huh, maybe you need to quit Mickey D’ and Toco Bell and go back to school. This conversionis official over. have a nice a day:)

Ya know - I like Erykah, but I didn’t really start feeling this song until close to the end. I read in a previous comment that this song serves as intro & outro to the album. I can see how that would work. This song on it’s own has a good Erykah sound, but I wouldn’t buy the album because of it.

I usually like Cassie but this song sounds like “Long Way To Go.” The “Flashing Lights” remix is wack. Chris Brown is different. Maybe I needa listen again
