♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫
Monday, May 19, 2008



♫ 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- 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.

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.

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.

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…

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!

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.

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.

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…

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!?

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.
