THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

Sorry for the delay on some of this music. Things have been pretty weird and we’ve just been trying to work out some kinks. I promise that the slowness is ending now! We’re working things out as best as possible.

Bobby Valentino – Sexy Girl (full) – listen
New music from Bobby Valentino. I have to admit, I’m not the biggest fan of Bobby V., but randomly, Special Occasion had a couple of songs that I really liked. But “Sexy Girl” kind of left me cold. I was trying to get into at the beginning, but it sort of just turned into background music for me. I don’t know, I think I’m very much so more interested in Steph Jones’s project than new music from Bobby Valentino. We’ll see, though.

Sean Garrett feat. Ludacris – Grippin’ (full) – listen
I guess it’s that time for all songwriters and producers, who have knocked out hits for the past couple of years to come out with their own albums! Sean “The Pen” Garrett has been responsible for popping out singles and smashes for artist from Chris Brown to Britney Spears, Nicole Scherzinger to Beyonce and Gwen Stefani. To be honest, I hate the song. Sean Garrett might be good for a guide vocal, but I don’t want to hear him singing on a track. I want him to stick to writing.

Usher feat. Young Jeezy – Love In This Club (full) – listen
Shoot me, I know I’m late! “Love In This Club” has been getting love and spins all over the Atlanta area, on the radio and in the clubs, so I think I’ve been pretty much forced to like it, because at first, I hated it. I love Polow Da Don, but I don’t know what it was about this song that made me feel lukewarm. I think it was the fact that I was so attached to the Rich Harrison-produced, “Dat Girl Right There,” that this song just didn’t hit as hard to me. But it’s definitely grown on me.

Shareefa feat. Jadakiss – On Fire (full) – listen
Who knew that DTP was going to give Shareefa a new album? The new single “On Fire,” is from Shareefa’s upcoming sophomore release, The Secret, which is expected to release the third quarter of ’08. I don’t know, this doesn’t hit as hard as “I Need A Boss.” Honestly, I hope she doesn’t think she’s going to come back with an asymmetrical cut and do the same thing she did on the first album, Point of No Return. I don’t know, I just don’t see it for Shareefa getting over the sophomore hump.

  14. SICKNEY!!

    Usher got that new BANGA!! I wasn’t feeling his previous work but Love in this club is definitely I can vibe to!

  15. Timi

    The usher song i do not like! It sounds like the dream singing over a beat made for justin timberlake!…i need something better from usher!

  16. soph

    does brian have qualifications in judging music?is he the black simon cowell? he is so negative when criticising music.has he produced a hit record?i don’t think thats a particularly pleasant trait that he has, the negativity.

  17. THE ONE IS BACK

    Brian, okay so what songs do you like? Keeping it real I can respect that…I feel you on these joints.

    the one has spoken…shut the back door…

  18. Yolanda

    The new Usher had to grow on me as well. Now it’s my JAM!

  19. STLCHICK

    I like the Bobby Valentino song and I’m loving this Usher. I missed the New Music Review. I was so hype when I saw it. Thanks Brian!

  20. MsShe

    Bobby V… It was just ok.

    Usher… I think I was expecting more from him. This was the first listen for me and I did not feel it at all. It was not bad. But it was no what I had hoped for. Maybe on the next listen it will hit me.

    Shareefa… I kind of like it. I mean it is no where near “I Need A Boss”, but is ok.

  21. Miss mikelah

    Bobby V – Ok, may grow on me
    Sean Garrett – NO, i wish porducers would just stay in their lane & whats up with the Dream’s “Eh” sound in between…ALL wrong, shoulda sold the song to omarion
    Usher – Love it, way better than the last single
    Shareefa – Heard this on the radio last night, the girl can sing, just not that crazy about it, good for a R&B mixtape though.

  22. H-Town Chic***

    I’m loving “Love in this club”, the is hot!!!!! Great comeback Usher!!!

  23. Dame

    Usher song I love I can’t wait for his new cd

  26. Latasha

    I do not like that background music for” Love in The Club”. That organ sound or what ever it is is soooo annoying , but Usher’s song “Moving Mountains” is FIYAH!!!!!! I love that song so much, I can’t stop playing it, honestly. Even though Usher has gotten on my nerves this past year, I gotta give him credit on the that song! He DID THAT!

  27. PrYnCeSs

    @ Brian….

    Can these songs be added to the CL Music Player??!!! Its such a lifesaver through the work day since most streaming media is blocked at work!! So glad you guys incorporated it into the site!! … ;)

  28. Flatbush Vixen

    Bobby V. – im feeling the song but his sophmore album just wasnt happening like the first was

    Usher- uh…im gonna have 2 listen 2 it a few more times because it hasnt really hit me yet, but that beat is offical!

    Shareefa – i dont know what 2 say, its aiight but its going no where

  29. IBREEZY

    DTP tryna come back strong this year, they all up in this music review, Bobby’s track was cool, if he wrote it, he could do better, but I like the fact he is really singing

    Sean Garret: ………

    Usher: why dont you hurry up an put out an album, GOTDAMN!!!!

    Shareefa: It’s cool, but she can do better, I believe in Reefa

  30. alamony

    Bobby V’s joint is for the ladies.. I can ride to this & maintain my swagger with the ladies

  31. T.Brown

    I have to disagree with some of the reviews. I like the Bobby V track. It has a nice vibe and is women friendly. The Usher song jams and its getting spins in Atlanta. I have to say Im feeling the Shareefa record. Its different for her, but that doesn’t make it a bad thing. She has a hot voice and her first album was a banger! Dont believe me? Go cop it! Give new artist a fair shot, thats somethings I feel DTP is continuing to do.

  32. Shawn08

    Usher!!!!! I am loving both singles I have heard! LOVIN IT!

  33. Usher- Moving Mountains (snippet)
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/o9gcr8

    This is the snippet before the full version leaked. I liked how they had the beat on the snippet better. On the full version they added some more drums and it takes away from the melody of the song. I still like the song but feel the way they originally had it in the snippet was better!

  34. carmen

    shareefa is fire…stop playing..this girl is the real deal regardless to what she comes hard and i personally like that. do yur thing girl..we waiting for ya!!!!!

  35. vondoraun

    Ushers joint is good…I just think maybe he waited too long winters almost over lol where the uptemp track at…

    Bobby V- i didnt check it out yet

    The other dude???WHO???

    Reefa baby you is hott! I loved the first album I disagree with Brian..maybe he needs to go listen to that album again…lol…This new joint Im feeling it and will be bumpin to it soo…though i dont think its first single material…you movin in the right direction though…Cant wait for the new joint I been keepin watch!

  36. Ali

    You missed another Usher song recently out – Movin Mountains, its a snippet tho but still i liked it

  37. Latasha

    if you go here http://www.usherforever.com/main.html , then you can listen to “Moving Mountains” in full. It sound like it not totally finshed, but it’s the first and second verse.

  38. kk

    don’t really like Usher’s song, I guess 1 day it will grow on me
    Bobby’s track is aiight
    the others I don’t really about

  39. Latasha

    Click on the link above and go to the “Usher news” section the song is right at the top.

  40. That Usher song is fire! Go Usher when is this album coming out!

  41. WACK MUSIC

    all these songs kinda suck. They sound like they’ve been all been done before over and over again. The music industry sucks big time right now. When is Kanye, Pharrell, Kanye or Lupe Fiasco coming out with something new?? They’re the only creative ones in this industry right now.

  42. Mr. West Coast!

    TIMBERLAND DID NOT DO MOVING MOUNTAINS!!!!!!!

    TRICKY STEWART DID IT! HE’S THE HOTTEST PRODUCER IN THE GAME HANDS DOWN!!!!!! HE AND DREAM ARE ON FIRE…. I WISH THE BLOGS WOULD STOP GIVING CREDIT TO PEOPLE WHO DID’T DO THE SONGS

  43. Nadia

    Usher’s got a good one!
    Bobby V is so boring
    Shareefa can’t sing. Her voice is screechy
    I can’t get the Luda track to play :(

  44. Tony

    They have been killing that usher song here in atlanta…is aight!

  45. Of course Timbaland didn’t make that beat. If he did, you wouldn’t have heard Usher sing, since Timbaland like his beats super loud overproduced to the max.

    Sean Garett song wasn’t that bad to me. His voice kind of channels Ray J, but there were times when he sung well. He has potential…as long as he stops rap-singing.

  46. Jamie872006

    I LOVE USHER’S SONG

  47. LovelyB

    OKAY OKAY I HAVE A CONFESSION:
    LOL

  49. Dyvine

THANX BOBBY V FOR BRINGING BACK REAL MELODIES WITH REAL MUSIC….

  51. Mike

    they all wack
    ushers jawn is on point though

  52. SPARKLE OF THA HOT SEAT

    I love Usher’s joint.

    Bobby V’s is cool. I can see me getting into this.

    I hate that Sean Garrett song. Everytime Greg Street plays it, it angers me….lol.

    Shareefa needs to go back into oblivion where she’s been.

  53. nitaLoVe

    usher’s single is hott it grew on me as well brian but the other two artist maybe underated, nevertheless underated both are pushing the area of serving no purpose bobby has gr8 vocal capability but way too cocky and reefa hmmmm……. okay i never liked “i need a boss” who really needs a boss i mean honestly………..?????

  54. Everybody Be Cool

    I love that Usher song and I just heard it on the radio earlier

  55. Rabin

    i am a super Bobby V fan but even i wasnt that sold with the snippet of Sexy Girl. Now that Ive had the chance to hear the full version its growin on me but I felt the same way about Annoymous. I think Bobby is a REAL R&B singer and not on some lip sync will i do gymnastic on stage dude. He comes with the the melodies, the shit Jodeci, babyface, boyz II men, etc. gave us REAL R&B music. I’m so OVER that other mess that folks are callin R&B. that Usher song is good but i dont think he can pull out another confessions- SORRY. Im still on the fence with Shareefa and Sean Garrett needs to try again- LUDA is the truth but even with him on the song … not buyin it!!!

  56. kiki

    I am feeling BOBBY V..I LIKE!..I CAN RIDE TO THAT ONE!

  57. Nesu

    wit usherz track I love the hook…the verses are wack…the hook saved the song.
    I wanna make love in this club…ay…!!!
    the rest are just iight.

  58. SO FRESH

    MOVIN MOUNTAINS IS DA TRUTH! A #1 IN DA MAKING! I BEEN BUMPING LOVE IN THIS CLUB FOR ALMOST A MONTH NOW SO YEA ITS SOME HEAT!

    REEFA BOUT TO COME BACK HARD…LOVE HER RAW VOICE!!!

    GARRET CAN WRITE….SONG IS JUST OKAY!

    DIDN’T LISTEN TO BOBBY V…DOESN’T REALLY INTEREST ME…BUT I GUESS I MITE TAKE A LIL SNIP OF A LISTEN…
