♫ 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.

    Ciara: Nah
    Keri: Hot…whoever said she won’t sell records is sadly mistaken! She’s gorgeous,she writes, great voice…She going to have the game on lock.
    PCD: I dont even like them really but this song is catchy. I likes!
    Solange: She’s taking a new approach which is cool but I dont think its really going to be widely recieved. Artistically it’s great but I think it lacks commercial appeal.

  2. Still don’t like the Ciara song, but I’ll still get the cd on GP (general principle) since I have her other two.

  3. Sjsjsje

    Thats nto the ciara song, a guy from youtube just extended it, taking a diffrent verse from antother song.

    1. CiCi…I don’t know about the pitch she’s singing in but I like the beat, I like her and Luda together and I like how Atlanta artist always get “Ay” into their songs, TI, Jeezy, it always sounds hot
    2. Keri & the Pussycat songs all sound very MTV and DKish…is this is the sound of new music? I dont’ like that that sound :(
    3. Solange’s album sounds like it’s going to be hella fun to listen to actually.

  5. Like the PCD song….I’m glad the other girls are singing this time around. Judging from the ad-libs that Melody did on the “Buttons” song, her voice seems strong.

  6. kaykay

    Mz_K I totally agree w/you on everyting you said!

    Also, Beyonce better sing for real on her next album man.

    Kerri’s voice is over rated, she can’t “blow” and I’m old enough (29) to still appreciate singers that can “blow”, lol…also these are not Timb’s best beats either!

    Re. singers who can’t “blow”…today’s production for poor singers pales to what Jimmy Jam and T.Lewis did for Janet back in the day…maybe they all need to work w/Ne-Yo?? i don’t know…the music being put out today by DK, Cassie and Kerri will not stand any test of time…

  7. kelly223

    She looks beautiful. She is my favorite. I saw her profile on milllionaire&celeb datiing siite “W e a l t h yR o m a n c e.c o m” last week. It is said she is dating young billionaire on that site.

    CIARA SONG IS HOT …JUST NEED THE REAL VERSION……

  9. knockkey

  10. algie

    i just can’t get into ciara’s new song at all
    the pussycat dolls are a straight joke to me
    and i hear you solange

  11. D

    CL YALL KNOW THAT’S NOT THE REAL VERSION. YOU NEED TO BE MORE RESPONSIBLE THAN THAT

  12. Janet

    I’m not really feeling this song. Her first single should be “ChampaignChronicNightCap” it will have both club and radio play. The second single should be “White Picket Dreams”, kind of like a ballad song.

  13. KRAYZEE

    KERI! that track sounds fiyahh! She has such an amazing voice. How can someone posess that much talent. She baffles me sometimes man but its good. Can’t wait for that album ma!

  14. All tha songs sound good. :shock: You can see The Pussycat Dolls performing there new single on Jimmy Kimmel live tonight on ABC.

  15. Jamie872006

    I like Ciara beat to the song but everything else no

    and the others songs I don’t care for.

  16. lala

    keri is so talented!
    love her
    can’t wait for the album!

  17. cocoa49

    no to ciara’s song…..i tried to get into it……love luda….he put some spice into it….should be luda ft. ciara

  18. Only 1 Ken-E

    Ciara- Give it up already! You do the same thing every album. Work with some different people for once!

    PCD- Nice song! Only thing is I’ll have to keep hearing it so it can grow on me. You should’ve given the song a hotter title.

    Solange- This sounds like a song that I would’ve listened to in 6th grade which was nearly 10 years ago! I think Christina Aguilera already did this on Back to Basics except for she works with the right people to make it sound more grown up! You need to stick to acting while Beyonce needs to stick to singing.

  19. ashley

    Ciara needs to quit, she ain’t doing any good, poor girl.

  20. LadyProf

    Love Solange’s sound. I am ready for something different. I like artists who move away from the mainstream to do their own thing. Her music may not sell well in the U.S. among those who prefer RnB but it might do great over seas. If you haven’t noticed many U.S. artists who don’t do well here end up doing quite well in Europe and Asia where the musical tastes are more varied and variety is welcomed, so we will see. It takes courage to be different, anybody can conform to the “it” music of the moment. I remember when snap music first came out I thought I was going to lose my mind. Everybody was doing it. Now its having T-Pain or Akon on every song. I had to go out and buy an Amel Larrieux disc just to keep from going insane.

  21. ...:::*~C.K~*:::...

    the ciara song is gonna be hot!! coz CiCi gotta rep..thats the way it is…people will get used to it…i liked it at first because its different :) go CiCi

  22. kk

    I like Keri Hilson’s song
    Solange song is ok
    PCD has to grow on me
    Ciara song is ok

  23. Chiara

    Ludacris is hawt !

    Like the PCD song too but it seems different, looking forward to their album.

  24. DivaJonelle

    They are all horrible except for Kerri’s. I’d listen to hers if it was playing in the elevator.

  25. Lil CiCi

    @ ASHLEY BITCH YA TRANNY TRICK HATIN AZZ NEEDS 2 GIVE UP! HOP OFF CI’S CLIT CUZ YA MAD MY SIS IZ STILL SHITTIN ON YA!!

  26. mikey

    I DONT LIKE CIARA’S TRACK AT ALL WHOMP

    I GIVE A WHOMP TO PCD

    LIKE KERI AND SOLANGE’S TRACKS THO GONE GIRLS I GIVE YALL A HOOT

  27. Bri

    I just don’t get it, in my opinion, Solagne can’t sing and it’s really nothing creative with her sound there are plenty of others out right now that’s trying something “different.” Amy Winehouse, Chrisette Michelle, Corrine Bailey…just to name a few and these people can actually sing.

  28. Yeah thats def not the full song to “High Price”, i’ve heard it already and its alot longer and better than that. Funny how someone actually took the time to put that mess that you posted, together.

    I love Keri’s song….Hell, i love Keri!

    Didnt bother to listen to the rest…

  29. Neena's Opinion

    I’m still not impressed by Keri..the Way I Are hook and Scream hooks are generic and don’t impress me.. I was shocked to see her in Usher’s video..thougt it was strange that someone CL keeps saying “so talented” would gyrate around like an average video hoe!

  30. I really like Solange’s song, the remix AND the original. I’m really liking her style and the sound that she’s going for, I just don’t like her voice lol. I think that if she really HAD the raspy voice that she’s trying to achieve, her music would be a lot greater.

    High Price– I like it. The first time it was posted, I wasn’t really feeling it. But now I am.

    When I Grow Up– Meh, whatev.

    Energy– Inconclusive. I mean, c’mon…it’s only a snippet.

  31. philster

    #27
    u took the words right out of mi mouth!
    but i am feelin that solonge song itz really good [i LuV iT].

  32. David Washington

    1, thats is not the real High Price thats snippets put together. 2, “High Price” is the shit, stop hatin, don’t say nothing when it come out, and be a #1 single. 3, Beyonce is overrated, half of her shit is mediocre, with her raunchy, non soulful lyrics, just cause she got the voice don’t mean her lyrics are soulful. 4, I love Ciara, and Solange’s song.

  33. OH BROTHER

    that Keri track sounds like it’s F.I.R.E..can’t wait to hear all of it…
    the rest of these tracks are garbage

  34. miley

    You can find her profile at BlackWhiteMingle. c o M where you can find me and many sexy black and white babes ..

  35. SouthernGoddess

    im so surprised at myself for even thinking this but…i actually didnt hate solange’s song…it was actually pretty decent. good job!

    not gonna listen to any of the others b/c im kinda over pcd & ciara….and im not even sure who the other girl is but im not interested in hearing her music right now…

  36. SouthernGoddess

    ok my curiosity got the best of me and i decided to listen to the pcd song….well curiosity killed the cat!….i turned it off after the first verse….i wish i wouldve listened to my first mind and just ignored that song!

  37. 1. Solange’s track is wack, and that’s saying something because Freemasons usually hooks ish up…

    2. Not feeling Ciara’s track even though it’s a snippet and even though Luda’s on it, hopefully it’ll sound much better on the final cut.

    3. Meh to the rest…

  38. Miss Jen

    Solange is really doing her thing, her anticipated album is going to take her to new heights 4 real:)

    Everyone else featured here, especially Ciara needs to work a little bit harder. Vocals might be there but as far as music production in its entirety can be so much better.

    In any case what happened to real music people!?

  39. Christianana

    I dont mean to be disrespectful but lol at yall thinkin that jacked up mix of snippets was the full song. I mean come on now, Ciara’s verse was repeated twice, and the mixing quality was just horrible. Music must be in a bad state when that crap could be mistaken for a song lol.

  40. TRUTHFULLYCUTE08

    KERI-SONG IS NOT GOOD FOR A SINGLE SORRY
    CIARA-STILL AIN’T FEELIN THE SONG REGARDLESS…BOO
    SOLANGE- SONG IS OK, DIFFERENT SOUND BUT IT’S NOT THAT GREAT

  41. Miiami

    Haha, I forgot dat there were PCD besides Nicole. LOL
