♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫
Wednesday, April 16, 2008



Ne-Yo - Lets Just Be (full) - ♫ LISTEN ♫
A rumored “new” track from Ne-Yo’s new album, Year of The Gentleman, entitled “Let’s Just Be” was leaked online on Tuesday. I’m a big Ne-Yo fan, so when he released his up tempo lead single “Closer” I was like damn, he is trying to flip the script on us! Nevertheless, I’m feeling this mellow track and I’m actually anxious to see how the “Closer” video is going to turn out after seeing those dope photos last week.
Rick Ross ft. Nelly & Avery Storm - Here I Am (full) - ♫ LISTEN ♫
Rick Ross’ “Here I Am” featuring Nelly is rumored to be the 3rd release off of Rick’s sophomore release, Trilla. The track also features singer Avery Storm, who is signed to Nelly’s Derrty ENT label. It’s definitely a summer track and I’m not going to lie, I could see myself riding to it. But this is coming from a person who still bumps “Hustlin’” like it’s new. lol. However, I’m kinda over the computerized vocals, but I guess that’s hot on the radio now.
Fefe Dobson - He Smiled (Take My Heart) (full) - ♫ LISTEN ♫
Remember Fefe Dobson? She had a couple hits back in ‘03 and was signed to Island Def Jam, only to be dropped a couple years later? Well she has been on the low for the past few years trying to get her new music together. Some people even say Rihanna is biting off her style, but that’s a whole ‘nother post. Anyway, check out her rock/pop/punk infused song “He Smiled (Take My Heart)” from her upcoming independent release. It ain’t that bad.
Lee Carr - Stiletto (full) - ♫ LISTEN ♫
Lee Carr was featured on CL’s “Hot or Not’ spot last month and the new Jive/ZLG signee finally released his first official single, “Stiletto.” Think The Dream. I say that because it sounds like a song he left on the cutting room floor. Not to mention, it was produced by Los (who co-produced J. Holiday’s “Bed” and The Dream “Shawty is A Ten”). He needs to try again with this. It’s very lackluster.

Love that Ne-Yo song. Why is he always talking about painting somebodies toe nails though.
Can’t believe Fefe is trying to come back. Don’t know about that one.

i like Ne-Yo’s song..
ive always had a soft spot for Fe Fe Dobson.. she was doing something different and i liked it then.. and i like it now.. as far as Rhianna biting her style…
well.. to be honest…. Fe Fe was kinda doing all of that back then.. but the difference is Rhianna is making it more sexy.. where as Fe Fe was pure Punk/Glam…. but its possible….
never the less..
i dig the music!

I love Rick Ross and Neyo’s new joints! Lee carr kinda sounds like evry other 20 and below R&B cat that’s out right now, so he isn’t pulling me in. I couldn’t see that Fefe Dobson at work unfortunately.

Ne-Yo wrote the song but gave it to an artist name Miguel.. That song is so old. Miguel’s version is so much better.. Miguel is an artist on Jive records.. Compare versions Brian..

I REALLY LIKED FEFE, BUT SINCE RIHANNA COMES INTO THIS INDUSTRY ITS ALL ABOUT LOOKS AND IMAGE, (SUCH A SHAME) SO IT MIGHT BE REAL DIFFICULT FOR HER. PINK AND ARVIL LAVIGNE DOES THE PUNK ROCK BETTER. ANY WAY I WISH HER GOOD LUCK!!

I remember Rick Ross did a 2 part interview over at Allhiphop.com, a few weeks ago. He kept saying “this album is going to blow”.. I read it and was thinking “this guy must be high or delusional, aint no body worried about Rick Ross in 2008″
I was wrong !
The album went number one on the pop charts, had a great opening week and I hear his song “The Boss” all over the radio. This dude is winning right now and I cant hate.
Ross !

Fefe and Rihanna are totally different. Just because they’re girls who have some black blood and like rock/rockish music and have an edgy style - that doesn’t mean they’re biting off each other! Hell, I’m a black bombshell who likes rock/rockish music and has an edgy style - but that’s just me and there’s a ton of other girls like us!

Ahhhh. Fefe Dobson is the girl Rhianna stole her swagg from.
28.
UM...I GUESS
Wednesday, April 16, 2008 /
neyo…*yawn* im beginning to grow tired of him, cus all his songs are starting to not only sound alike, but center around the same message.
fefe…im feeling it. cant wait for her album♥
nelly & rick ross…didnt care enough to listen
same goes for the other guy ive never heard of…

Fefe Dobson track is dope. I’m guessing after Fefe was pitted against Avril (who LA Reid groomed) that when LA Reid came over to Def Jam he dumped her and then gave her swag and style to Rihanna. Damn shame- politrick’s as usual.

Brian, you definitely should do a comparison of the Ne–Yo track and Miguel’s track. I like Miguel’s version better. I don’t know what Jive is trying to do with him, but they should give him some promotion. He’s talented.

@silly_rabbit that’s b/c you must not know much about fefe. that short cut that riri has now, fefe already had before her (i’m talking about recently though b/c fefe had her hair longer when she was out)
http://www.dailymotion.co...n-get-you-off-live_events
it’s true that ppl can have the same style BUT riri has never had this style until this recent album. fefe (since her teen years) has been like this. and riri’s music isn’t even edgy. it’s watered down pop. her image doesn’t even fit her music imo. riri once stated that she looked up to fefe so i think she admired fifi and wanted to be like her. if riri had always had this style, then ppl wouldn’t make the comparison but i find it interesting the leaps that she’s made in her image

Yea I can definitely see rihanna bittng fefe’s style
46.
We are all innocent
Wednesday, April 16, 2008 /
Rihanna isnt to blame for the demise of Fefe’s career, fefe’s prblem was that she wasn’t pop enough and she wasnt rock enough, she was in between and her record label wanted her to go one way but she wanted to go another musically. I really like Fefe and hope she can get her career back on track.

So Good

That Rick Ross is kinda hot. I really hope this be his next single and it does have that summer vibe to it.

The Lee Carr Song Actually Sounds More Like Chris Brown To Me Than The Dream Which Def Jam Is Probably Looking For A Chris Brownish Type Of Artist Because They Dont Really Have One Yet… They Tried Tho Last Year With That One Lil Dude.. Forget His Name Tho…
But Anyway I Think The Song Is Actually Aiight, It Just Needs One Of Those Hot Def Jam Features Lol… Luda, Fabolous, Rick Ross?? idk…

rihanna bit fefe’s style? where did fefe get her style then? because that style isn’t anything new.
i love both rihanna and fefe, but to say that one is biting the other is just a bit of hate you have for the other and you need to stop hating.

Ne-yo’s track is nice and from the looks of it, the Closer video seems to be good also. Go Ne-yo!
The Rick-Ross joint is most definitely a summer jump off. I like the piano intro also. Good one Ricky Ross!
FeFe Dobson…try again.
Lee Carr…nice song and he sounds good but like I said last time, heard it all before. Take advantage of the new change in music. Lets not sound like everyone else.
