♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

Thursday, June 12, 2008

♫ Mariah Carey feat. Akon & Lil’ Wayne - Bye Bye (Remix) (full) - listen
I haven’t really been keeping up with Mariah’s album so much. I just remember that her next single is supposed to be “I’ll Be Lovin’ U Long Time.” But I guess they are still pushing “Bye Bye,” because here’s a new remix of the song, featuring Akon and Lil’ Wayne, who were both on TRL this week. Lil’ Wayne’s new album, The Carter III was released Tuesday and expected to do great numbers next week on the charts.

♫ O’Neal McKnight feat. Jermaine Dupri - Check Your Coat (Remix) (full) - listen
When I first saw this video on MTVJams, I was really thinking “What am I watching right now?” The imagery of the video reminded me of Ne-Yo, but I think that’s just because of the Michael Jackson-ness of the video. But this boy, O’Neal McKnight, can really dance. I’m not sure if I buy the whole gimmick - with the sequins gloves, dancing in suits and all of that. But I’m kind of digging the song. I don’t know.

♫ Solange Knowles feat. Q-Tip - Sandcastle Disco (full) - listen
Solange Knowles, who appeared on TRL yesterday chooses “Sandcastle Disco,” featuring Q-Tip as her second single from her album, SoL-Angel & the Hadley Street Dreams, which drops August 26th. We’ve posted a version of this song, but here’s the final version, featuring Q-Tip. The track was written with Cee-Lo and produced by Soulshock. Definitely digging the song, and I love the verse that Q-Tip added.

♫ London feat. Flo-Rida - One 2 Many (Remix) (full) - listen
We posted London’s song, “One 2 Many” in our Hot Or Not section a few weeks ago, but here is a remix with rapper Flo-Rida. I wonder if this will be the version of the song they release as a single to give London, who is newly signed to Universal the push he needs. I’m digging the song a little more than I was before, I think after I started listening to it more, it started to grow on me.

I’m really feeling the material Solange is putting out. She is really trying to step out from Beyonce’s shadow. I love that she is not trying to be a carbon copy of her sister. It’s really refreshing.

Umm NO

Honestly, Solange is so damn wierd to me but I love it. I love how she’s being different and all, but she is just so random.

Lil’Wayne needs to give it a rest, I never liked him and never will.

I bet you a million dollars Beyonce won’t come out of NOWHERE and drop an album why Solange is promoting hers. Hmmm.. Kelly surely didn’t get the same respect.

Love Bee but i had to call her ass out on that one.

I’m feelin the Solange song. Tired of that “Bye Bye” crap…its a sad song, yea, but whatever. I’m tired of it. Not feelin the “Check Ur Coat” one either. And the London beat is straight, but i can’t stand Flo Rida! His whole thing about rapping in one note blows me! I’m done.

yay for my friend solange, beyonce betta sit her ass down somewhere like she been doin and not ho her own sister like she did kelly

21.

London girl!

Thursday, June 12, 2008 /

MC- I personally dig the remix with Jay better but this one is cool. Wanye must have been sober on his verse for a change

O’neal- is it just me or did Diddy/Puff Daddy shout out Cassie a lil extra hard! lol! But, this song kind of became background music

Solo- Loving it! Get it girl. She came a loooooooooong way! ; ) Q-tip!

London- Although I love my hometown, I’m not feeling London. He can sing, just not feeling the concept of the song. But I’m sure there will be girls in the club singing the lyrics looking dumb!

Is it just me ..or Is Soloange the most un talented falsetto singing of all R & B right now? All her music sounds like Amy Winehouse could of recorded in elementary school.. Mathew and Tina need to get her a better writer, voice lessons, and better producers..I wouldn”t buy her music if if were on sale at 99 cent only stores….its wWHack…….

I agree with #24, I’m just not understanding

31.

LMAO

Thursday, June 12, 2008 /

#13 and #20 both need to sit they dumb asses down. This post don’t have nothing to do with Beyonce yet she got you hoes talking about her constantly on every post. This is why she is the hottest chick in the game. Even when she on break, people still bring her name up on every topic.LMFAO It’s too funny.
First of all Beyonce didn’t even release any album around Kelly’s. Matter of fact Kelly released her solo album before Beyonce released her solo album. And Bday came out Sept 2006 and Kelly’s came out in 2007 so get your facts straight.
Note to Haters: Spend less time talking about Bey, and more time talking about your favorite artist, because clearly Beyonce don’t need any help from you. People on here stay on her ass especially the haters.lmao

I WAS JUST THINKING THE SAME THING. LIKE WHY ARE PEOPLE BRINGING BEYONCE’ NAME UP? I MEAN REALLY.

MOVING ON. I LIKE THE ”BYE BYE REMIX” SONG WITH JAY-Z BETTER BUT THIS REMIX IS OKAY. LIL WAYNE GETS ON MY NERVES.

IM DIGGING SOLANGE NEW SONG.

I DONT EVEN KNOW WHO THE OTHER TWO ARTISTS ARE SO I WONT BOTHER LISTENING TO THE OTHER TWO SONGS.

I’m sorry but Solange has been bringing it this time around. Her first single was cute, but babyyyyyyyyyy this song is the business!! You better go the fuck awwwwf Solange! As soon as I heard the chorus I immediately took of all my clothes, wrapped my towel around my head like fish, and started shaking my ass in the mirror doing the dream girl moves. Yesssssssssssss Solange. This will definitely be on repeat! You better tell the boys not to blow you away mama. Yesssssssssssssssss I over live!

Rake

Thursday, June 12, 2008 /

If people shouldn’t mention Beyonce, you should tell the hosts at every promotional stop she’s made…they introduce her as Beyonce’s sister. I actually caught her tonight on 106th and Park and she needs to understand that though she isn’t the star her sister is, she can’t have that sort of contrived smug thing going on. She kept using the wrong big words…and she slipped in and out of a twang, as if she was trying her hardest to rid herself of her natural speaking voice. Her outfit was nice enough…she tends to try too hard, but her shoes were really nice..it was huge and looked so expensive that she was offputting as she constantly fussed with her hair…and danced to her own song as they came back from the premiere as if it were the jam…such contrived arrogance, when the whole time the mic was shaking…like she was about to fall out of her skin. and why is everything she does inspired by something else? the record was inspired by the 60s, she said…the video by a movie she’d seen and she announced that she was having a party where she hoped to emulate a scene from some other movie. it’s like, why are we seeing you if you’re only doing shit we’ve already seen? Goodbye, Solange.

Not That Serious

Thursday, June 12, 2008 /

#35 you got way too much time on your hands. What was the purpose of that whole pointless paragraph? It really is not that serious. Were you watching her every move with a magnifying glass or something? People like you scare me. These celebrities are human-beings and I dont get why people take them so seriously or want them to act perfect or something. Solange is going to keep doing her thing whether you like her or not. Just state your opinion and move on. An analysis of her every move on 106 and park was not necessary.

Mariah- She should have added some different verses, I mean she didnt even try to switch it up at all

J.D. Not interested

Solange: Very much excited for your C.D, its very refreshing.

45.

Keep it Creative!!

Thursday, June 12, 2008 /

I’m feelin all of Solange’s joints! You HAFTA agree that its a breath of fresh air to hear a new “non-cookie-cutter” type of creation these days. I love that her inspiration comes from some of the timeless music generations….60’s 70’s and 80’s. In a day and age where urban music genres are all mixed together…(hip hop is rnb…rnb is hip hop…hip hop is pop…rnb is pop…rappers singing hooks/rhymes, singers spittin lullabyes like Twista…get my drift?)…Solange is new bright spot in urban music. Do you, Solo!! Keep it Creative!!!!!

Love the BYE BYE remix as well. AKON FO LIFE!!!

48.

Rake

Thursday, June 12, 2008 /

I was just going to be sarcastic and leave it there, but seriously… what’s crazy to me is why you people even ask why I typed a paragraph about her. I’m sure she loves even the thought that someone might care enough to do that. Anyway, I paid attention to her tonight…I’ve never done it and I wanted to see what some of you were raving about… I was, as you can tell, VERY VERY unimpressed. So, that’s that…

Solange- FIYAH!!!

London- A good club banger.

Thursday, June 12, 2008 /

The Bye Bye remix was probably the best out of all the selections. Solange should have put Akon and ZWeezy on her track. Hell they all should have put Akon and Weezy plus a lil T’ Pain on all of these songs. LOL!

53.

izzi

Thursday, June 12, 2008 /

Solange is picking some good songs. The songs are refreshing and enjoyable, but forgetful after a few minuets. It will need a lot of play time to stick. She’s talented. She has a beautiful voice and a great sense of style. The only thing she needs to work on is her hair and face. She needs to find a hair style that is more flattering and feminen to her face. The long hair makes her long face look even longer and manly. She needs makeup that brings more attention to her beautiful eyes and tone down on the bright color lipstick. She also need to show more confidence. She has a beautiful body and better looking legs than her sister, so she should showcase them whenever she can. Much love Solange.

Friday, June 13, 2008 /

@53 solange has better looking legs than her sister? Yea right. Nobody is touching beyonce legs. Her and amerie have the best legs in the game. solange dont have anything betta than her sister. bee got all the looks body and talent. solange better try her hand at acting cause her sister got the music game on lock. I’d be surprised if solange sells more than 50k. Nobody is checking for her music except people on CL.lol On every other blog the comments are a different story.

I dont care for flo rida at all so i didnt listen to the song with him on it…..unlike others i dont listen to artist that i dont like and then start to talk shit after i’ve listened to something i already knew i wouldnt like….instead i bypass it….what an idea huh?!?! lol

I’m usually a fan of Mariah’s but it really feels like she’s given up even trying to make interesting creative choices. Aside from a couple tracks on the new album, I’m just not feelin much of the material…. guess once you pass 12yrs old you’re too old to appreciate Mimi these days lol. Nah, what really irks me is all the half finished videos and lacklustre performances that have accompanied the project. The unimaginative photography and lack of coherent vision just solidies a career that’s gone off the boil. Mimi was by no means a masterpiece but with something to prove Mariah had never been more consistant on that project. She was dare I say it, mature and serious and it was a really good look for her. A common strand ran through Mimi and the slightly worn maturity really suited her. This project with it’s rainbow approach is just a mess IMO and it’s gotten in the way of me enjoying any part of it.

I CAN SEE THE MARIAH CUT MAKING NOISE. LIL WAYNE ON A TRACK OR ADLIB GUARANTEES EXTRA SPINS, AS IF SHE NEEDED ANYMORE. AKON CAN BE ANNOYING AT TIMES BUT IT’S STILL A NICE TRACK. ALSO, IT’S ALWAYS GOOD TO HEAR Q-TIP. TRACK WRITTEN BY CEE-LO, LOVIN THE IDEA. THE QUESTION IS WILL THE INDUSTRY CATCH ON? REMINDS ME OF A CAT IN NC THAT’S BEEN POPPIN AND SHOULD BE HEARD. THE INDUSTRY MOVES SLOW AT TIMES…

That first version of LONDON’S song was nice with Twista. Actually the lyrics and the flow of the song goes really well together.

twista sounds much better than flo ridah and the singing between his lyrics takes away from the rap flow

best quote from the song “tell me who did i mistake you for…” lol
