♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

♫ Teyana Taylor – Swagger (full) – listen
Here’s a song that’s appeared in Teyana Taylor’s showcase performance from her upcoming album, From A Planet Called Harlem. “Swagger” isn’t the second single, but when she performs it, she definitely does her thing. Teyana’s debut album drops on May 20th, so expect to see a lot more of her.

♫ Donnie – Dr. Love (full) – listen
This is the full version of Donnie’s “Dr. Love.” If I’m recalling properly, a track was released with just the chorus. The track is produced by Se7en, who is responsible for the bulk of Donnie’s album and previous works with Ashanti. It’s something about the song that I like, but something won’t allow me to fully just like and enjoy the song.

♫ Teiarra Mari – U Said (full) – listen
A couple of weeks ago, we posted a Hot or Not article about Teiarra Mari’s new single, “No No No,” which is supposedly on her upcoming sophomore album, due out via Interscope Records. Here’s a new track that was premiered, supposedly, on some radio show. I’m not really feeling this song as much as I liked the single, but I’m eager to hear what Teiarra’s new project is going to sound like.

♫ Usher – Trading Places (full) – listen
Usher tracks seems to be just leaking left and right, but it seems easy to choose which songs will make the album and which songs are just incomplete or demos. “Trading Places” has actually been one of my favorite songs to leak so far. I would really love to know who produced this song, because I love the production – not so much the lyrics. I think that Usher’s Here I Stand, which has been pushed up to release on the 27th of May will be a pretty good album for him, despite reservations I had about it before.

  1. uhhh

    Hey! these are ok

  2. Lovely B

    Cant Wait For Usher’s Album!!

    Who cares about Teirra Marie. Lol

  3. Queen_Chrissee

    Can’t wait for Donnie and Usher’s Album. I’m feeling the hell out of Dr. Love

  4. blackisbeautiful

    The beat on that “Trading Places” song is hot but the lyrics once again is so corny so i agree with you Brian.

  5. Ummmm

    Swag is my shit!!!! I love that song. But she is not a very good performer. She needs work.

  6. I’m feelin’ that Usher jam, sounds R. Kelly influenced…bout to cop on the 27th

  7. E=MC2

    BRIAN should post the interview that Bscott did with Tearri Marri, its really good!!!
    I didnt even really know who she was but the interview showed how amazing her voice is and after hearing her sing acapella I don’t know how she got dropped from her record label.

    I like Donnie’s song but Diddys label isnt give him the publicity he deserves.

    Usher’s song is not impressive, as much as I like him his new stuff has been disappointing to say the least.

  8. E=MC2

    oh actually i dont like donnie’s song dr love; rolling stone is a much better song imo

  9. #1

    that annoying crickett sound!!!!…..

  10. Peacekeeper00

    I really like ‘U Said’ by Tierra.

  11. YoungKingz

    Brian a close friend and insider of Teyana’s camp said that album will be pushed back to September. So I’m just letting you know. My insider could be wrong, but I highly doubt it.

  12. Dame

    Trading Places is the shit I C Usher make me say OOOOOOOO WEEEEEE!!!!!!
    I love it

    Love Dr is good too come on diddy with that cd I know you read the loop.

  13. Dame

    usher song does have a prince feel to it

  14. GeyonceIrene

    Thanks!!

  15. Nessnice

    usher joint prod. By tricky stewart

  16. alex

    Usher ‘s song is produced by Tricky Stewart….. and i think the lyrics is The Dream

  17. Bobby

    That Swagga song is HOTTT!

  18. DeeLife

    Love the Usher joint, fo’ sho’.

  19. Necy

    Usher’s “Trading Places” beat sounds like Chris Brown’s “You” off his exclusive album and The Dream did that so maybe he did this Usher song too but I like it! The Dream writes and produces good songs. Awww Teairra come on I was expecting better than that you have to come harder than that to make it in this music biz, not that the music biz counts talent anymore these days its all about how you look and dress instead of how talented you are. The Teyana song is aiight and so is Donnie’s song I feel bad cuz diddy kinda got him in the back behind Danity Kane and Day26.

  20. LuvsIt

    Teirra’s song is the shit! She’s such an R&B chic. I luv it

    Teyana’s song is hot too. She’s a lil cocky, but then again, she’s from Harlem. lmao

    Usher’s song seems aight. I gotta hear it a few times.

  21. lady razor

    I’m loving all…..

    teirra’s song sound like she clownin jay-z because he dropped her…i aint made at her…though cuz that whole situation was f-ed up…

    donnie songz slap…im feeling

    usher me likey but however them lines is corny like someone previously stated.

  22. it's me duh

    TEYANA TAYLOR: I LOVE THIS GIRL’S TALENT AND STYLE SHE IS DOING THINGS HER WAY WHICH I LOVE SHE SHOULD HAVE SWAGGER BECAUSE THIS GIRL IS MULTI-TALENTED. DONNIE: I SKIPPED I CAN’T STAND NONE OF THEM FROM MAKING OF THE BAND THERE GARBAGE TO ME. TEAIRRA MARI: I HEARD FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS BUT THEN I SKIPPED IT ANOTHER SONG I’VE HEARD BEFORE. STOP MALE BASHING OUR BROTHERS DESTINY’S CHILD HAS DONE ENOUGH.. THERE HAS TO BE SONGS OUT THERE THAT UPLIFT I’M TIRED OF HEARING THESE SAME TIRED SONGS. USHER ONCE AGAIN HAS FAILED.. HIS CONFESSIONS ALBUM WILL BE THE BEST ALBUM IN HIS WHOLE CAREER I STILL LISTEN TO IT. THE PRODUCTION SOUNDED GREAT BUT IT REMINDED ME OF THE BOOST MOBILE COMMERCIAL FOR SOME REASON”WHERE YOU AT?” LYRICS WAS SOMETHING I HEARD BEFORE ONCE AGAIN…SO THE TITLE GOES 2 TEYANAN TAYLOR!!!! ; )

  23. I like Teairra Mari ! I can’t wait to hear her new album !!! :)

  24. Dev

    No: 10 E=MC2

    Thanks for the info on Teiarra Mari at love b scott. I have to say that her voice is even less appealing live… it’s standard! its Christina Milian! It’s Ashanti! but amazing it isn’t (my view)

    Yep she can hold a note but not something i’d write home about.

  25. hood_shit

    Teyana Taylor is killing that joint! Am I’m not reallya fan of hers.

    Donnie can SAT down because Diddy and MTV played him with no camera time on the show so his album will sit and collect dust in the Bad Boy vault!

    Teiarra Marie, with her one hit wonder ass can FALL BACK as well… This song is better than the last one you posted though.

    The production on that Ush track is bangin.

  26. hood_shit

    The Usher joint does sound like Dream penned the lyrics…. and I could see Tricky on the beat

  27. Eve

    Teyana: WTH?
    Donnie: Pure pop…I like
    Teierra Mari: Not feelin AT ALL
    Usher: Some parts are good…but not totally feeling the song….Its ok

  28. archera

    Lovin that usher track, its extra sexy!

  29. TakeThat

    Teyanna Taylor–its alright. But I’m grown so not really my thing but good for the kids.

    Teairra Marie–I think there casting for the live action Bratz movie she should try out for a part in that cause next on this song!

    Donnie–its alright. Nothing to write home about.

    Usher–its kind of sexy but been done before. I hate when people say their taking their music to the next level and its like nothing you’ve heard before and then I’m like uh yeah, I have it sounds like your last album and a little of R. Kelly’s too and have you’ve been listening to Raheem Devaughn cause I think your taking from him too. If your going to ELEVATE, really ELEVATE. Its a nice song but nothing new.

  30. Ladyssolady

    I like the production on the Usher song. I feel you #s 16 and 32.

  31. Kiah

    I loooooooooove Usher’s song! :)
    Can’t wait for his album to drop.

  32. rockiiiiiiidlaunnncher

    the dream wrote tha usher record n T. Stewart produced its very hott

  33. Princess Amelie

    Lovin the Usher track.
    Sounds reminiscent of “You” by Chris Brown which was produced by the Dream. Or it could be LOS or even Tricky Stewart…

  34. Prettygirl90221

    Finally, my favorite song by Donnie!

  35. thickness

    All these songs are WACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  36. new music

    i agree with 24 on how it sound like teairra clownin jay, cuz she talking bout how he gave her the roc. interesting song though. im actually liking all of ushers leaked songz

  37. ashes

    Teirra Marie’s single is a MISS just like the first one! Too bad Rihanna took her spot on the Roc label, because her first album was actully pretty good…her new label isn’t doing it for her.

  38. DUN

    THAT USHER SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING BY TRICKY STEWART. IM REALLY FEELING IT

  39. Armon

    oMg….yAlL neeD tO baCk oFF tEiaRra mArI….sHe is A rEaL RnB aRtist aNd wE dont HaVe mAny oF tHeM iN tHe gAme…..” U Said” iS tHe bUisNess……TeiArRa iS ThE shIt……hAterS FalL bAcK

  40. maurice ross

    man!! that donnie track “dr.love” is raw 7 is a weird cat ,ballin but weird
    and that was so ill about the track. he should let 7, tim&bob, and villa (my brother)
    produce the whole album. donnie gone surprise nig

  41. Mutada al sader the king

    Fuck is he talking about? .. sounding like a more lyrical Cassidy .

    The training wheels need to come off, he aint a kid no more.. better start writting some songs or forever be labled as a kid phenom…that did’nt make it

  42. Knuck

    That Teairra is straight HOTT!! I love it!

  43. V

    The Trading places beat sounds like chris brown’s you off his latest album

  44. R.Jay, Ciara #1 fan

    Usher song is FIRE!!! His album is gonna be great. LOS definately did that song i

  45. divastar

    Teyana- I fucks wit it.
    Donnie-not so much
    Teirra- Didn’t let it play long enough to even form an opinion
    Usher-I LOVE IT!

  46. Shawn08

    I’m lovin Usher’s song!!!

  47. CHANTEL

    DR. Love is absolute garbage!

  48. ty

    Teiarra’s song sounds like monica’s shoulda known better

  49. mia

    Im waiting on Tierra i wishher label would push her like diddy does Cassie at least Tierra has talent she just need to expand her subjects in songs and learn how to prevent sounding delayedor off in inerviews but thatmay have been because of jays label they probably made her uncomfortable. Tierra is the businesss she gonna dust the floor with Jay Z nose in 08.

  50. Tonya

    I LOVE USHER’S SONG!!

  51. o so seductive

    loooove that usher slow jam joint it has a prince swagg to it and yes, its produced by tricky stewart and the-dream

  52. Sam

    They all are medicore to me… USHER is the best has to grow on me still seems so SLOW and BORING!!!

    Terria sounds just like an AALIYAH JOINT!

    IDK bout ne 1 else.

  53. west indian gyal

    IM CONFUSED RITE NOW, teyanna song is wack i mean no rythm at all,no flow.TzHIS GIRL has got a great style and she’s cute but that’s IT, i expected better when i saw her on mtv.back in the day ladies used to kill the song ( rememba ladies night with lil kim,da brat…)
    teyanna song makes me wanna sleep, its time to WAKE UP EVERYBODY,its time to clean our ears, and bring some real artist, some real beats,some real lyrics and some good videos with some real stories in it,back in the days we had to stay till the end of the video to know the end ,now its always the same

  54. itzzzkimmm

    I loooove DR. LOVE!!!

  55. Lady B

    I think Trading Places was produced by Tricky Stewart. The whole song is SEXY and SICK!!!! I can’t wait for his album to drop.

  56. Ms.CoNgo

    Teyana Taylor_ not feeling this Swagger song…something about her is hella annoying lol but i do like that “google me” song. I still think she’s average and i like the Lil Mama girl better. This gurl is super cocky cuz she’s with Pharrell.

    Donnie- I think this should have been his first single. I really like Donnie, i hope Bad Boy does him right. And hopefully this 3rd season of MTB4 they will show some more of him.

    Tierra Marie- I feel bad that Jay-Z dropped her, wasn’t she suppose to be the Princess of the Roc. She sings way better than Rihanna. But hey everything happens for a reason. I would be bitter though..cuz Rihanna is all over the place. I like the song though..her first cd wasn’t bad either.

    Usher- can people please stop bringing up Confessions? we all know that was his best cd and will probably be his best. But he can’t just stay stuck in 2004. I actually think this new cd will be good. I can’t wait to get it on the 27th. I like this song too.

  57. YEAH OKAY

    I am still waiting for the tracks that Usher said were about teaching men how to be real men.
