♫ 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.

  8. Ms. BR

    Well, I wasn’t feeling Teyana Taylor’s song or Teirra Mari’s. Donnie? Sorry to say he sounds like a Justin Timberlake wannabe and he can’t sing in my book.Usher’s song reminds me of “Do it to Me” a song he had off of his last album. The words he spoke at the end were cute but I’ll have to see how his album is because I’m extremely critical of music and of late, there’s nothing out that’s really worth listening to. So, we shall see.

    Teairra Mari i know it had to be hard going from G5 jets wit HOV to riding in the back of the plane,but you will be back this summer love “NO NO NO” great summer song and “U said”wow! GO TEE TEE! HOV will SEE!!

  10. crunkpoet

  11. BOSS BiTCH DEE

    Teyanna – i’m not feeling at all

    Donnie – i like the beat but his voice gets kinda annoying.

    Teairra – its okay but it doesn’t sound original at all

    Usher- is the best one by far && not even that good i like the beat even though i must say it puts you to sleep after a few secs && it sounds 2 much like the-dream – purple kisses i think he could’ve done a better job been more original with it.

  12. THe chozen ONE

    Teyanna SONGZ SUCK especially reppin the city and her album droppin in may shit didnt even kno she had a first single sheeshh

    Usher song is nice although it reminds me of Dream Purple kisses and purple kisses is way more fire

    tierra marie sould continue hanging with solange

    Donnie wow someone from making the band is gonna last bout time nice pop song

  13. KNOWN

    LOVING DONNIE AND TEAIRRA, TEYANA AND USHER ARE WACK!

  14. www.MethodAtelier..com

    So T is talking to Jay on that song. It sounds like they may have got it in a lil bit. All that “Roc” talk sounds like Jay hurt her and “lied” to her. The album was fire but she didt choose the best second single. That “No Daddy” single was the weakest on the album. I wish they would have picked a better single and maybe it would have done better. Shoot, she does sing better than Rihanna, and her first album was better. Rihanna didnt REALLY start selling til this album, here. The other two were weak in singles.. Thats why she brought out 3 albums in 2 1/2 yrs. T, best of luck sis.

  15. TKO

    Donnie sounds wayyy too much like Justin Timberlake!
    Usher’s song sounds like Ciara’s promise song which sounded like a Prince song too! Where’s the creativity???

  16. Cindy

    Donnie can cure me anyyyytime. *fanning mysself*

  17. NEEK

    teyanna-uhhh..it iight i guess..

    teairra-love her!!..ha last album was hot and yall cant deny it..but this song is okay..i kno she can do better

    donnie-Its iight

    usher-yea it does remind yah of purple kisses.. =]

  18. Jizzymack

    Usher-bananas! Teyanna Marie…..Tierra Taylor….NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  19. P-Harmoinc

    Why are yall getting on Rihanna? Shes not even in the ROC. Get your facts right.. Rihanna had nothing to do with Teairra Mari getting dropped. There was a conflict of interest for Teairra and the ROC and no business case for a second album.

    Oh and all these tracks suck.. step yall game up..

  20. sWeEtCarAmeLL

    Donnie: hmmmmm….. i know that people gonna love this song, i personally not really feelin it

    Teeira : “I said” i like it alot !! the instrumental kinda remember me that song of Aaliyah “4 page letter” cant wait for her album!!! U GO GIRLLL!!!

    Usher: hmmmmmm …. what I likED about usher it was USHER i mean by that he wasnt the kind that goes with the flowwww he was doing his thing but now first that I wanna make love in the club (sound like DREAM with his “AAAA” lol and now this song i like it but sound like R.Kelly!! but I cant hate on him ITS USHERRR!!!

  21. Selis Black

    The Usher song is FIRE!!! For the editor who doesn’t know who produced it, it was produced by Tricky Stewart and more than likely wriiten by his partner “The Dream”….. that’s why the drums sounds like Chris Brown’s “You”… And in the lyrics of this song there is a part where he writes a line about putting the girl to “Bed”… Another one of their hits together… I love it all around… it is going to be big for Usher.. Dream and Tricky keep doing yall my brothers… love…

  22. JAVA

    Teyana…….the song is pretty basic not very special, google me was a better song

    Donnie…….Dr.Love is hot but Donnie’s voice is kinda flat notish (new word but thats ok) lol

    Teiarra……this song is really good, falling down sometimes brings the best out of an artist I see big things in this girls future

    Usher…this song actually has me excited about his album! who knew!!

  23. hope,faith,love...

    lolll oh yeah it does sound to Chris Brown ”YOU” from Exclusive… Im lovin it though it nice. I cant wait anymore for the album.. Im loving what i heard so far. Its Like Moving Mountains,It Like Moving Mountains”

    ”DR: Handsome” more like lol …

  24. hope,faith,love...

    me likey Teairra track, nice lyrics,she has beautiful flowing voice.. she should get more recongnistion…

    Dr:Love, Dr love.. catchy… Im jammin to that song… Donnies vocal strength is not shown of course because its up tempo song rather than a ballad…

  25. tamaka raymond not usher wife lol

    LOVE THE SONG USHER ALWAYS DO SOMETHING THAT SOME OF IS FANS NOT TO CRAZY ABOUT. AND THE SONG IS ABOUT WHEN HE WAS SINGLE AND TRADE PLACES WITH ONE OF HIS FRIEND GIRLFRIEND.WAY BEFORE HE MET HIS WIFE AM SURE SHE DID THE SAME BUT GOT PREGNANT WITH HER OLDER SON INSTEAND SO THAT WAS STUPED OF HER.ANYWAY HER MEN DIED IN A SHOOTING IN CA AND SHE WAS THERE BUT DIDNT GET HURT SHE ONE LUCKY BITCH.

  26. keiya

    dony lyk any of em….
    where haz MUSIC gone?

  27. Adrian Clyde

    Whoever produced Usher’s song did a great job. I like the lyrics aside from the “get it” part, which began to hurt my ears. And I don’t like the last line at the end… It was pretty bad. But decent song overall, Usher sings really well, he just needed stronger lyrics. Which reminds me…does he write his own work?

    The Teairra’s song is very good. Her voice is great.

  28. Da

    The Usher song is obviously produced Tricky and written by The Dream.

  29. HIPHOPPHILOSOPHER

    teyana’s song is aiigh.. not really feelin it.. sumthin simple
    the beat is hot tho!

  30. Yep

    Trading places was written by the dream produced by Los, he did shawty is a 10

  31. Jack Blacker

    the usher record was produced by carlos mckinney. The producer that did Bed for J. Holiday, 10 for Dream, etc… Not sure who wrote it, more than likely either dream, hennessey, or sean garrett…

  32. Lolo

    That Teairra Mari song iis growing on me. . sounds mad old skool

  33. Sara

    The production of Usher’s song reminds me of Shawty is a 10 by The Dream, I bet he did this song.

  34. zee

    TEYANA SUCKS theres no two ways about it,being different doesnt automatically mean she should be a star.its seems to me her only claim to fame is her big hair and silly choice of outfits ,yes i agree shes different in every sense of the word but the girl has no talent,and this song proves my point.

  35. * GIFT FROM A VIRGO *

    I def feeling that new USHER… LOVE IT

  36. Sounds like Tricky & Dream did Usher joint. It’s aiight.

  37. blah

    TRADING PLACES IS PRODUCED BY LOS DA MAESTRO SAME GUY THAT PRODUCED “BED” “SHAWTY IS A TEN” CHRIS BROWN “YOU”

  38. YDLAFAMS

  41. hay yah

I’m feeling Lil Mamas joint L.I.F.E so much u got to come hard like that or get left in the dust. Teairra- Ur voice is like pure flowing water in a garden. Its mad smooth. Usher-u disappoint boo…Tameka get ur foot off his neck so he can make quality musik.

  42. Tony Hollywood

    L.O.S. DA MAESTRO Produced Trading Places NOT Tricky Stewart and it was written by The Dream

  43. Tony Hollywood

    L.O.S. DA MAESTRO Produced Trading Places NOT Tricky Stewart and it was written by The Dream

  44. TRUTHFULLYCUTE08
