♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫
Monday, May 12, 2008



♫ Chris Brown feat. Keri Hilson - Superhuman (full) - listen
Check out this new Chris Brown song that will be featured on the Forever Edition of his sophomore album, Exclusive. The track features my girl Keri Hilson. I never would have thought that they would do a duet together. I’m happy to see that Keri is getting features like this now. For some reason, features always get me excited because it seems as if an artist is getting closer to releasing an album. Keri’s debut album, In A Perfect World… is set to drop soon. I actually like how their voices sound together. Look for the rerelease of Exclusive in stores June 3rd.
♫ Cassie - 2 the Morning (full) - listen
Oh goodness. Is she doing it again? Coming out with songs that I like, regardless of the fact that I just can’t stand the fact that she is a horrible performer? I fell victim to Cassie’s production the last go ’round. I knew that Bryan-Michael Cox was doing tracks for Cassie, but I wasn’t sure what to expect. He definitely delivered a great club track for her. The yet-to-be-titled sophomore project from Cassie has yet to have a concrete release date, but “Official Girl” has been catching on like wildfire. Although I was skeptical about Cassie’s sophomore album, I have to admit that I’ve liked a few of the songs that have released. Hopefully she can move a little something this time.
♫ Janet Jackson - Can’t Be Good (Red Rat Remix) (full) - listen
Seems as if everyone is gearing up for a rerelease. But I’m not even sure that a rerelease can pump some blood into the already dead 10th studio album from Janet, Discipline. “Can’t Be Good” is supposed to be the third single from the album, but I have yet to hear it on the radio, much less, plans for a video. I really wish that Janet would have gone for releasing “Luv” as the third (or even second) single. That song gets more radio play than I ever heard for “Rock With U” or “Can’t Be Good.” The Red Rat Remix of this joint is set to appear on the rerelease of Discipline. But I just don’t see the point.
♫ Usher - Play Me (full) - listen
This new song from Usher’s Here I Stand was produced by the Avila Brothers and penned by none other than Sean Garrett, who is working on a debut album right now. I dig the production on this song, but it’s something about it that’s just leaving me cold. That kind of seems to be the trend with this new Usher music: it’s either hit or miss, there’s nothing in between where I’m just like “Oh okay, this is a cool album track.” It doesn’t hurt my anticipation for the new album though. Here I Am hits stores May 27th.

Janet really needs to give it up. Discipline is a far better record than 20 Y.O. and it still flopped. I like the woman but her time is gone.
And I agree, she should’ve at least released “Luv”. wonderful song!

Ummm..
The Chris Brown track is ok…Keri sounds great as always!
Cassie…enough! Good production but shyt, I could sing what she sings, for real! And yet real singers can’t get half-decent tracks??
Janet’s remix is out of place with her album and this remix is just a little off. Unfortunately, people just aren’t checkin for Janet no more!
And this Usher track sort of falls short…no hit this time Sean!
Brain…I aint really feelin n’aan of these tracks!

JANET’S CAREER IS OVER…….CHRIS BROWN NEEDS TO DISAPPEAR LIKE BEYONCE IS RIGHT NOW….USHER IS LEGIT!!!!
CASSIE….I WAS CURIOUS TO HEAR BUT ONCE AGAIN IM DISSAPOINTED….I HATE HER VOICE……SHE IS NOT A SINGER AND SHE KEEPS BEING COMPARED TO JANET BUT JANET CAN HOLD HER OWN IN A SONG….CASSIE’S VOICE IS NOT UP TO PAR WITH CARRYING THESE SONGS….I HAVE YET TO HEAR A HIT FROM HER NEW ALBUM…..TO ME IT SOUNDS LIKE SHE IS DONIG WHAT SHE IS TOLD AND THATS WHY THE SONGS DONT SOUND NATURAL…BUT THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM IS THAT HER VOICE IS ANNOYING ….SHE DOESNT SOUND AS BORING ON THIS ONE BUT IT STILL IS WEAK…THE TRACKS DONT FIT HER AT ALLL….I DONT KNOW MAN…..NOT FEELING HER ONE BIT……..

Chris Brown feat. Keri Hilson - Superhuman: LOVE IT!!! Nice Collabo
Cassie - 2 the Morning: Sorry Cassie The Song Was HOT until YOU started singing
Janet Jackson - Can’t Be Good (Red Rat Remix): oK Not too crazy about it
Usher - Play Me: OK…I am sorry but assuming that most of these songs leaked are from his upcoming album I don’t think this album is going to be good and sell like his last album.

I can’t wait for Ushers album
Chris Brown i don’t care to listen to
janet……is a joke these date, she needs to use her pants to parachute over to europe where she can actually sell records…them people will buy anything
cassie….the song is not a hit and your voice sounds annoying as usual….you can have the hottest producers but it wont hide that fact that your voice is annoying and you can’t sing and that people dont like you …try again…or maybe not

Cassie’s track is actually good and I’m checking for her this time around. (cant believe I am saying it).
Janet, honey what is this foolishness. Do you care about your career anymore?
Chris, go away.
This is Usher’s 43rd track leaked…what is going on?

Chris should have done that duet with Cassie instead of Keri. She completely took took control of that song. Keri showed how much of a weak of a singer he is.If he practice his vocals as much as he do for his dancing, he would probably would be a great singer. Another flop for me. Loved Keri’s part. She is becoming a contender I see. Love her voice. All the rest of the songs were boo boo! Usher what’s up with you dude. Don’t let that little boy punk you. You still #1 in our eyes get it together.
Laughing at how y’all can be hypocritcal at times.

I don’t know why people are giving Usher such grief….is it because he made such haughty comments about making classic, meaningful music? If it is, I get that…that was definitely a lot of hot air. But the guy is a genius when it comes to pop music, albeit it CRAP music, he just knows the perfect way to sing things. “Love in this club” fits this typical mediocre trend of pubescent r&b, but the way Usher sings it makes it soooooooooooooooooooooo hot. It’s grown on me and it truly my favorite song (the original). I love Usher.

I ain’t feeling that duet with Chris and Keri even though i like her as an artist.
I ain’t feeling that Cassie song.That Janet remix is hot though..usually people do
a reggae vibe remix and it sounds like shit but this one was nice. also feeling that
usher joint…should do a remix with Kanye West cause it sounds like he was going
in the same direction Kanye was going with his “Stronger” joint. Thanks for the new
music

I’m not feeling any of these songs. They do nothing for me. My expectations for Usher were not high due to the fact that I’m not a diehard fan. The songs that have leaked are lacking growth, substance, feeling…basically the IT factor. They are decent but nothing that will make me say, “I got to go cop that album.” I have no doubt he will do well and sell a lot of records, I just won’t be one of the many who buy it. As for Janet, her time has been over for awhile now. I could care less about her album. I heard it and was not impressed at all. This isn’t a pick on these artists post, I am hard to please so this is my typical feeling about the music of today. Only a handful of artists impact me and they are not listed here.

I love Janet and it truly hurts me to say it, but music has changed and she isn’t changing her sound so it’s like the same album being released over and over again. Still you can’t take anything away from her career, it’s just time for her to do something different. She should do more movies..hell how much more money does she need anyway? She’s set for life.

Well actually the one I like the best is Cassie’s song. She’s not a good singer yes, but well Janet Jackson voice is not really better and Keri Hilson’s part on Chris Brown songs doesn’t make it for me. So yeah Cassie has my vote.
Usher is ok.

I think Usher is purposely linking all these other songs out so that we will keep guessing as to what will be on the album. If I’m right than that’s a pretty smart move. Now a days people are just downloading the songs they like little by little instead of going out to the buy and buy the whole album. I know i do. LOL!!!Thanks J.Lewis, because I was starting to get worried about him and these crappy songs.

Cassie - I would listen to it, IF IT WAS ANOTHER PERSON. Sorry but her voice just annoys me so much! I cant take people whispering especially which such an annoying voice already, No cassie doesnt sings,she whispers.
Chris- Keri totally outshined him on his own song. You should just give the song to her on time.
Usher- CANT TAKE ALL THE LEAKS, Ill wait for the album. so not listening.
JANET- NEXT, orignal is better

That Chris Brown song sounds like the “no Air” with that Idol Chick - NO
Janet, Red Rat! he hasn’t been relevant in the Jamaican music scene since never, ok he had a few hit songs - not sean paul hits, so Why? Cassie - Hell no (Diddy Holler at me, at least I can dance, this chick gets on my last nerve, she really should stick to modelling, Usher’s album sounds like garbage from the tracks i’ve heard.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I like Cassie’s song the best out of all these.
Chris Brown’s joint with Keri was alright but it was missing these indescribable quality that all duets need to have and the song was a little overwritten.
I didn’t even waste my time listening to Janet. She need to just act from now on.
Usher song was alright. I feel like everyone else, I haven’t heard anything besides “Moving Mountains” that would make me extra excited about buying his album. I’ll buy it anyway though. I think his tracks are a little to urban when at this time music is starting to transcend genres. Maybe he is keeping his best tracks under wraps for the album.
Cassies song was cool. All the girl needs to do is learn how to lip sync real well and get a good choreographer and she’ll be good….isn’t that what everyone does these days anyway.

Usher…you in trouble dawg, I’ll still cop the CD cuz honestly what else is it out here…
Chris I am glad i didn’t buy Exclusive when it came out, cuz now you re releasing it and now I can get the hot version, I wonder how you fans feel being guinea pigs with the first release.
Cassie has stepped it up, I like what I have heard so far. i am willing to forgive her inexperience and the mishap of two years ago. and by the way most artist have lip synced in their careers, don’t get it twisted….

I just wanna add Usher that you been gone like 5 years…
this is the best you could put together?!
Chris and Keri have no chemisry and ain’t she like 5 years older then him?
the was no fire in the duet like with NO Air with Jordan Sparks.
Janet…poor thing…you spent all that money on this project only to go double wood. And I like the Cd….just act for now, then drop something in ten years. By then we should be wanting something from Janet.

The Chris Brown and Keri Hilson track isn’t too bad.
Like I’ve said before, Cassie is great for my eyes…my ears, not so much.
Janet hasn’t been the same since she and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis dominated the charts in the ’80s and ’90s. What happened?! You have some great singles on this latest album, though. I just want to know who’s deciding what’s getting released. Keep Rebbie and LaToya out of this, okay? They’re trying to sabotage you, Janet!
Like Phil-Up said, I hope Usher is saving his better tracks for the album and not leaking them because everything I’ve heard so far has been garbage. You can do better than this, man.

I like the other Chris Brown song that was posted the other day. The Cassie and Usher are ok. Now as far as Janet, I like the orginal better. I don’t know what is going on with her cd because I have that on constant rotation. I believe with her getting sick that it really threw off the promotion and I agree that LUV definitely needs to be a single. It is a banging cd but just needs the right singles to be released to showcase that. Janet’s cd’s shits on Mariah’s and Madonna’s cd’s

Both Janet and Mariah’s CDs were garbage. It doesn’t matter to me if they sale well. I felt B’ Day by Beyonce and Justin’s FutureSexSounds were mediocre and despite my dislike they both sold millions. It is obvious to me that I am completely out of the ‘what they call hot’ music world.

YOU ALL.
Would you stop telling JANET that her career is over? Damn.
She is still relevant and has done well considering the dramatic events of the superbowl. If you consider what she has had to do to overcome in order for RADIO to even play her songs now. Unlike Just Timberlake. Everything that has ever happened to Janet is an outrage and unjust.
It doesn’t make sense. Her music and video are STILL incredible and STILL relevant.
If radio would play her music there wouldn’t be an issue. People are bitter. READ BETWEEN the LINES folks.
Yes, LUV should be the next single I agree. But…what else does this woman REALLY need to prove when she has won almost every award imaginable? You know she just makes music to please her fans. Just stop being rude to a fyckin LEGEND. And to admit she’s not a legend
is to ignore half these wack ass chicks tryin to be just like her.

Come on IDJ help Janet out! Discipline is fire! And I’m not even a Janet stan or whatever. “LUV” is that summer hotness!
Usher’s new album will either be an album of straight singles or filler, looks like.

Janet needs someone to un-hip-hop & pop her and make her more like the old janet. She was unique and everyone wanted to be like her. I swear she was in her own category. Now she sounds like she’s trying to be like everybody. And trying way to hrd to be young. Mary embraces her age Janet denies it. She needs to figure out the elements that made her great back in the 90’s and incorporate them now.
Love Janet and I hope she finds herself in her music.

The Chris Brown and Keri song is ok. His vocals don’t sound as strong as hers on the song.
I really don’t know why I even clicked on the Cassie joint. It was ok.
Usher was ok also.

cassies song is whack. is it cassie? is it dk? does it matter-none of them can sing and these piss poor beats are supposed to carry them. b cox is not jimmy jam and terry lewis i see…CBs song sounds like it’s SO ready for Z101.5 play and other total cross over radio play like his current single-not to be in heavy rotation on Black stations and it’s not even good like Mariah or Whitney cross over or Boyz II Men cross over, it’s blah…Usher’s song is okay at best…Janet’s was already good, doesn’t need the ‘rude boy’ spin.

Janet doesn’t need to do VEGAS. The tycoons over Time Warner and radio need to quit holding on to grudges. No one cared a bit about her lyrics and shyt until the superbowl. Everything from Control to All 4 U had sexual undertones…always. People just never paid attention to it cuz they LOVED her. But Justin can release FUTURE/SEX LOVE Sounds and get praise. And everything in the HOT 100 is sex driven.
Its all so contradictory and hypocritical.
There aint nothin on that Mariah Carey album thats ground breaking.
“Feedback” is the heat ya’ll..we all know this. And radio didnt do nothing! nothing!
“LUV” is such a summer smash….but will radio play it? NO.
Radio killed the pop star.
To conclude, Janet never flopped on anything. Her sales might not have been stellar as previous albums….but people fail to forget that Damita Jo AND 20 Y.O. both went PLATINUM.
So…umm..that’s a far cry for “flop”. A flop is like RAVEN doing that disney shyt…lol
a flop is GLITTER and CHARMBRACELY. lol
But..lemme kool off…cuz, everyone is worshiping the ground of Mariah while forgetting that Jermaine Dupri hooked her up again…but wait…isnt that Janet’s boo boo? lol
(ok)
AND, arent they under the same team? Island Def Jam? so are they really competing against each other or supporting?
damn
disconnected.
lol

The reason why Janet’s new CD Discipline hasn’t taken off is because the radio is still boycotting her music. The only reason why Feedback made it to number 19 is because of us (her fans) buying the damn song. Def Jam needs to step it up in the Janet promotion too. The only time we seen her on TV was during the first two weeks of the release of Discipline. Janet didn’t even go on BET to promote it. I know she has a tour coming but dammit Janet release some videos until then. LUV is a great song hell its the second single and a video wasn’t made. Rock With U is the third single a video was made. However, Americans don’t even listen to that type of music. I’m just a disappointed fan. LUV is very catchy and can be heard on all formats. The summer is quickly approaching and we want to dance not think about what can’t b good. SO THE SINGLES THAT SHOULD BE RELEASED ARE 2NITE, ROLLERCOASTER, THE 1, OR SO MUCH BETTA.

Hm, I think Janet was only blacklisted by MTV, but they helped her promote Discipline, if people don’t want to hear it you can’t make them.

Am I the only one that though both Keri and Chris sounded like awful-hot-ass howling-straining-messes when they tried to sing out of their registers? That was so unpleasant to listen to. Do you all really think this sounds nice? I am not hating, it was seriously just slightly painful to listen to.

*RADIO is important. Not just a “week” of commercials on MTV. MTV finally decided to do something…but they needed to do more than just commercials. I mean..JANET isnt your “typical” one hit wonder kind of woman. She is a *beast in the pop catalogue and Billboard.
Radio has all the power to how many listeners will hear a song….or they are called “impressions”….
Just remember…that at the end of the day…there is a group of people called “haters” that will prevent your song from being played unless you have some serious MONEY.

——Janet needs to retire and work more behind the scenes
——Chris does have a weak voice, but his looks and dancing skills carry him. I can’t wait to hear Keri Hilson’s cd.
—-Cassie, just go away. I need a record deal, if this gul can get one. Sheeeesh!
—–Can’t wait to BURN Usher’s cd.

…BUT I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THE VIEW THAT JANET NEEDS TO RETIRE. SHE CAN BE AS RELEVANT AS SHE WANTS TO!!
EVEN THO FEEDBACK WASNT A HUGE HIT, IT STILL ATTRACTED PRETTY GOOD RESPONSE. CIARA WAS ALL UP ON DAT HOT REMIX TOO.

I am not happy with any of the songs at all. Eventually I’ll give it to Cassie on this review compared to the others.
I was really looking forward to Usher’s album, but I’ve decided not to even purchase it, I’ll stick to getting a couple of singles that I like. The album sucks.
Who is checking for Janet or Chris? No one.

Dennis I agree Janet and Mariah are on the same label and yet Mariah is getting shoved down my throat. I haven’t heard a Janet song since Feedback and I barely heard that. Def Jam is not promoting her well and JD went over there Jay z left so he is not blame for that. L.A. Reid is the head man in charge. I am NOT a Janet STAN I’m just calling it like I see it.

Chris Brown needs to take a break or something cause I didn’t even notice him in the song, it need to be Keri Hilson feat Chris Brown
Cassie please stop go back to modeling
Janet just sit back, get married and have some kids
Ushers mine as well post the whole album up…lol

Keri killed her parts, luv her. Chris I’m gonna need for you to take some vocal lessons. You can dance fo’sho but you’ve GOT to DO BETTER Vocally!!!
Usher, didn’t like it at all.
Cassie, my time is to valuable to waste lol
JJ, you need to release Luv cause that’s my favorite album. Discipline minus those stupid intro’s was a good album though.

How come janet hasn’t realeased ‘luv’ yet ?? Gee, thats the best song on the album, imo. It won’t help the sales but it would for sure pump some life back into the album, I agree with you there Brian.
I only liked cici’s part on the Nelly track, Kinda disappointed tho, I thought it was going to be hot. the single as a whole is outdated.

Love the Chris n Keri song.
Cassie needs to try something else, modeling, acting, Diddy’s new baby mama, anything else!
This Janet song was one of my favorites, until this remix came out. Boo!
Usher….umm…..no.
Besides, these party tracks don’t sound as convincing, when I’m seeing pics of u and your fam every other day. I’m sorry. :-/

People are not feelin Janet anymore…period. Why doesn’t black radio play her if the issue is white radio stations? She ain’t selling with no body anymore. Hell, Prince and Madonna have fan bases, but they can’t sell either. Madonna’s foolishness will be gone in a couple of weeks. Her first single did well because of Timberlake. She can no longer stand on her own.

WHILE IT AINT HER BEST ALBUM SHES STILL RELEVANT….THAT BEIN SAID THIS ISNT THE FIRST TIME SHES ENTERED THE R&B/HIP-HOP MARKET—THERE WAS BEDTIME STORIES IN 1994, SHE WORKED WITH DALLAS AUSTIN AND BABYFACE AND IT WAS A HOT ALBUM.

cassie -can not sing, continue modeling girl
usher- I’m extremely disappointed in you performance in the finale of “The Hill” but he should of came out with “Make it Rain or That Girl Right There”
Janet- u need to get back with Jimmy Jams and Terry Lewis and Robin Thick to keep that longevity in the music industry
chris brown- just becuase u r 18 does not mean u r grown, progress with age and album like Usher did. Stop trying to grow so fast, live ur life boy

Dear JANET THE INDUSTRY HAS CHANGED.
1, THOU must be stylish, nobody is going to want to see you in Lane Bryant pants or you video with skiing outfits or 100 people in your video either.
2.IF YOU STILL can sing you need to do it on your first song you release.
3. How you going to sing about sex and look so dumpy after you shoot the video?
4. you are not even sexy anymore knowing that JD is hitting it.
5. Stupid name for an album,…..
6. leave that freaky talking shet alone you are a grown ass woman now
7. learn to speak up at interviews
8. stop letting tyra make a fool of your ass on tv….3 rd time charm.
9 every time you make a raunchy album divide the last album sales by 2 and thats what you are going to sell on this one.
10 NO ONE CARES YOU EAT SKRAWBERRIES AND THAT YOU ENJOY SEX …YOU ARE 40 YEARS OLD ACT YOUR MF AGE.

I have been listening to the chris brown song hard since you posted it, and whereas i’m not a chris brown fan (i think i like only one other song) i’m liking this track. Now i think that if it was sung featuring Brandy it would have been off the hook (as i really don’t understand the fuss about Keri Hilson) or even Rhi Rhi would’ve been cute
