♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

♫ Ciara feat. Ludacris – High Price (full) – listen
Here’s a “full version” of Ciara’s new single, “High Price.” The thing is, it seems to be more Ludacris than anyone else on the song. It’s not making me so much like the song. I thought that it would give something different on the full version. I don’t think that this is a full version of the track, though. The way the audio sounds so strange to me, it seems like it’s missing some parts. I just wasn’t expecting this for the rest of the song. In any event, Ciara’s new album, Fantasy Ride, is set to be a 3-disc set, with a theme on each disc.

♫ Keri Hilson – Energy (snippet) – listen
“Energy” is supposedly going to be one of the singles that’s on Keri’s new album, In A Perfect World… which is due out sometime this summer. The single is dropping on May 27th on iTunes. This is a lot different than anything else that I’ve heard from Keri, but I am so excited to hear what the rest of the album is going to sound like. I’ve had my eye on Ms. Hilson for quite some time.

♫ Pussycat Dolls – When I Grow Up (full) – listen
Check out this new single from the Pussycat Dolls, entitled “When I Grow Up.” The new single is produced by Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins and is super club-ready. We all know that PCD frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger had tried to push a solo project with a couple of failed singles, after countless dollars spent on the part of Interscope Records. She still is singing lead vocals, but apparently the other Dolls are littered throughout the new project, which is rumored to contain productions from The Clutch, Timbaland and more A-Listers, much like their last album, 2005′s PCD.

♫ Solange Knowles – I Decided (Freemasons Remix) (full) – listen
I posted a new snippet of this new Solange remix for her first single, “I Decided” a little while back, but here’s the full version. She’s releasing this as the official single over in the UK, while she prepares the video for US release. I’m really excited for Solange’s new album, SoL-Angel & the Hadley Street Dream, which is set to drop August 24th. Her new sound is very refreshing.

  6. leea

    that’s not the full version of ciara’s song it’s a youtube version of sippits put together

  7. Adrian Clyde

    I like the PCD song. It’s weird hearing the other girls sing, but they’re not bad at all. I wonder who’s singing what.

  8. YUP

    the ciara one is fake
    its 2 snippets put together. take it down…smh

  9. detroitdiamondgirl

    i love the new solange… she’s on to something with “i decided”

  10. HOLLYWOOD

    Ciara: I’ll Pass.

    Keri: Really nice song, but High Heels is still my favorite song that I’ve head from her.

    PCD: I like it. Had a lot of energy, and I know the video is gonna be HOTT.

    Solange: I like the original much better.

  11. common sense

    Brian that’s not a real ‘high price’ clip, the one u posted was mixed together by some fan….

    take it down it’s not legit…..

    & can we stop reviewing music snippets…..it’s a waste of time…..

    we should be judging the whole version of a song not 30 second clips….

  12. mary

    ciara’s song is so obviously not the final version so stop hatin’ until you’ve heard it in its completion

  13. Kevy*Kevy*Kelvin*

    As much as i would love to see Keri succesed i just dont see people buying her records, i may be wrong,but will see when her album comes out, but i’m definetly gettin her album, PD girls are cool ,but i think DK girls are far much better,but tthey are signed to a sh*t record label

  14. Serekana

    Not Ciara full song lol…did you really think it was? But her project is anticipated so much that this is what people do.

  15. Lori

    Love the “I Decided” remix.
    Keri’s song is cool, it’s a nice summer riding song.
    I’m going to have to pass on Ciara and PCD.

  16. 8Baller

    That Ciara song still sounds like a pile of shit.

    Keri and Solange’s songs are nice.

    I heard there was only five Pussycat Dolls now instead of six. Is that true?

  17. Solange’s “I Decided” Remix is FIRE!!!
    The original doesn’t hold a candle to how FAB this track is. Very hot for the summer~
    As for the PCD track I can definitely work out to it lol~

  18. Livewire!!

    BRIAN U SHOULD KNOW THATS NOT REALLY THE FULL VERSION
    OF HIGHPRICE ITS JUST TWO SNIPPETS MESHED TOGETHER BY
    A FAN…

  19. donte

    high price full my ass thats that wack ish that been on youtube who ever made that should have dey ass woped please take that mess down yall lame for real this time

  20. Antweezy

    Yeah that’s not the full version. Its a hot mess who ever made it. LOL. She will release the full version in June and it will sound way better that that chop up mess they put together

  21. PCD song sounds like a reject off Janet’s “Discipline” album

  22. honeychild

    That’s not the whole Ciara song.

  23. Mz_K

    The only REAL artist on this line-up is NO ONE. All these tracks sound WAY to pop-influenced. Just because it sells, doesn’t make it right. I LOVE Solange’s new material but this remix is NOT hot. I understand they had to “pop” it up for a Euro release so I’m letting it slide. I didn’t like the snippet I heard of Ciara’s new song so I didn’t bother w/ the not-so-full version. Keri has a BEAUTIFUL voice and I hope Timbo doesn’t go a Danity Kane route and take an actual singer and overpop her. That PDC song I can’t fully rate because I HATE pop music so my opinion would be bias and let’s face it… they are pop artists.

  24. Youngin

    Look I know I might get attacked for this and I dont mean to play favorites but ALLTHESE SHITS ARE WACK! Why should Bey take a break again, her B-Day leftovers aKillin all of these, New Shoes, Beautiful Nightmare and Now I Know are straight crushin these. I’m sorry but FUCK Man LMAO!

  25. TeTe(didnt feel like loggin in)

    i love the sound of that keri hilson track,i’ve been a fan every since i heard her track with snoop,forgot the name…but anyway her voice is beautiful to me.

  26. Pass me an Advil...NOW!!

    i loove da solange track…i cant wait for her album

  27. TeTe(didnt feel like loggin in)

    that ciara track is not not not not not hot!even my favorite rapper cant save that.sorry!

    pussycat dolls are just ugghh to me…the only thing i liked from them was “dont cha” and that wasnt originally theirs so that doesnt even count.

  28. UM...I GUESS

    looove keri hilson, cant wait to hear more of that track!

    pcd…not really feelin it & lol at the fact that nicole solo thing didnt go anywhere

    all else…didnt bother listening to

  29. babycheif_fl

    I love the PCD song, It makes me move!!

  30. mykisha

    Solange songs are WACK

  33. Janie

    IT IS NOT THE FULL VERISON OF THE SONG**********

  34. Janie

    THATS NOT CIARA’S FULL SONG LOL SOME RANDOM PERSON JUST CLIPPED 2 PARTS TOGETHER

    IT IS NOT THE FULL VERISON OF THE SONG

  35. KNOWN

    YES #13, HIGH HEELS IS THE GREATEST FROM KERI, I’M DIGGING EVERYTHING BUT PCD!

  36. a.k.a. new yorker

    @Youngin one of the bey stans huh. solange’s track is much much better than beautiful nightmare and all of those garbage songs being leaked. if solange had been singing “beautiful nightmare” you would have hated it but b/c it’s bee you love it regardless and that’s sad. ppl nowadays buy into images so easily that the music is lost on them

    i think solange’s track is better as a remix. hated the original. the other tracks SUCK

  37. DANI

    CIARA- I like that song, I wanna hear the real version.

    KERI HILSON- Too sweet, but I really like her, especially in Usher’s video. She’s beautiful.

    PCD- It’s kinda (embarrassing) that she’s had to go back to the group with her tail between her legs, I wish she had surprised us and not done a solo project. She could have pushed the band so much further. I don’t wanna know anymore.

    SOLANGE- No, don’t like it. Too sweet… not in the mood for happy, rainbow music.

    bye!

  38. co.from lap

    That isn’t the REAL version of cici’s song. It sounds like someone found Luda’s verse and put it to the snippet you gave us a couple weeks ago, Brian. I think “high price” comes late summer/early fall so I doubt they will put out the REAL full version of the song now. That’s too long of a wait but I’m excited for it though.

  39. Okay!

    That Ciara song is fake Brian.

  40. blaquepanther

    LOL I think that the order you put them in explains it all. Ciara has already proved herself and Keri is gonna make and the rest are left overs. PERIOD

  41. Nothing But Love

    ALRIGHT ALREADY!!!!!!!!!

    I think Brian gets the point now… the ciara song is FAKE ok!! you’ve all said it about 10 times so can we keep it moving.

  42. Nothing But Love

    I like what i hear so far of Keri Hilson’s song… so fingers crossed that the rest of her stuff will be dope.

  43. bvarney

    damn i was so excited to hear ciaras full song!

  44. west indian gyal

    im sorry but THE NEW PCD is GARBAGE
    no no no no ,no beat ,no rythm,at all
    nicole thought dat just because she was half naked in her videos she’s going to sell cd not this time im sorry
    plus her song baby love wasnt creative at all
    and now she’s back with a weird song
    my opinion NEXT

  45. fan

    I am really liking Solange’s song. It sound soooo different from anything that is being played currently. Its the ish!

  46. NiC

    I’m STILL loving Ci’s High Price, its different, its hot, its a new sound for her. I can’t wait till the album drops and the REAL full version leaks.

  47. SHay

    ciara…ridiculously horrible!!
    keri hilson…a bit better than ciara, but not by much
    psd…their time is over
    solange…im actually feelin this song…very different sound
    over all…CONCRETELOOP STEP UR GAME UP!!

  48. MusicatedOne

    lol@ people hating on Solanges song….America..gotta love it!

    Keri Hilson song sounds very generic and safe…she is too talented to have her material sounding like everyone elses on the radio…

    Solange got me hooked so far and i love this remix VERY 80′s …for some reason i thought of Rocky lol

    Ciara not sure….????

    PCD NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  49. AWJ12687

    OMG that Keri song is takin my Energy thats heat. I wonder how Solange is gonna do this time around? I haven’t heard anything I actually liked this clip is ok I guess though.

  50. Jewel 1

    Is it me or does Solange’s song sound like a modern day Diana Ross and the Supreme’s? Cool.

  51. Dame

    Ciara horrible and that is my girl and I love Luda but that is trash. I am looking forward to her cd I’ll just skip that track.

    Solange I like it shoot me

    PCD is ok I knew Nicole was going back.

  52. Jewel 1

    Love Kerri’s song, even though I could only hear 10 seconds of it.

  53. Jewel 1

    Ciara’s song is ok. Despite the comments on this site, I think it’s going to be a hit.

  54. Focused1

    That Ciara track isn’t finished, but don’t like it all anyway.

    Keri’s song is cool. I think I could get into the groove of it. I hate that the snippet is less than 30 seconds. I hope Keri brings it with this debut album too. She’s one of the few I’m actually looking to this summer. Other people aren’t really getting my interests.

    PCD’s song is blah. As Sunshine Anderson song says “Heard It All Before”.

    Solange’s remix is alright but it sounds a little kiddie to me. It sounds like something I would hear on Nick Jr. or something. LOL. I like the original waaay better. I can keep that on repeat. I’m curious to see what the video will look like. I saw a snippet of it on CNN and it looks like it may be decent.

  55. KSH

    If someone else says Solange is “refreshing” I am going to puke! The original song sounds better. She popped up the remix and I ain’t really feeling it.

    Love Ms Hilson and that song is kinda nice.

    Ciara – ummmm no not feeling it.

    PCD – Hell no!

  56. Joseph Da Man

    NOBODY is excited about Solange’s album except;

    Solange & gay men and the only reason gay men are excited is because she related to “diva” Beyonce’. Get the Fcuk out of here with this bull! Her first album sold 110,000 TOTAL in the U.S., that’s a bomb by ANY standard.

    Quite being a gay boy Brian and be real about the sh it you try to force down our throats. This 60′s type music that Solange is doing is nothing more than a ploy by Matthew Knowles to try to capitalize on what Amy Winehouse is doing because there is nobody out there doing it EXCEPT Amy, so he’s trying to see if Solange can do become a star THERE, since it’s painfully obvious that she has no star/staying power in any other genre of music!

    He did the same sh it with Kelly on her first album, remember she kept saying, “I want to do an alternative album, because that’s the kind of music I love to listen to.” He was trying to capitalize on that “white” Destiny’s Child audience and failed MISERABLY – and that’s what fukcued her up for the second album, when she came out saying, “THIS is the kind of music I really wanted to do that I didn’t get a chance to do on the first album.” People had already lost trust in her and we never gained it in Solange.

    I’m over it.
