I hope Solange’s album does well, you cant miss that loud ass cover! I really like what I heard so far, someone stepping out the box!

Keyshia’s show is the only thing worth watching on BET. She is so real, and I admire her for putting her family issues out there like that. we all know we got em!

As for Amerie, GIRL, signing to Def Jam was a mistake! That is the most overcrowded label, Janet Jackson dont even like Def Jam, so what makes you think the gonna give a damn?!

Amerie looks beautiful. She favors Cassie. I like Solange’s single. I think she has a bigger burden on her being B’s sister. She really has to bring it to prove that she is not just riding on B’s coat tail.

Keyshia’s last album was GREAT. Hopefully the next one will also be great.

Keyshia’s my girl,but her life isnt even worth a half hour show, much less a full length feature. How much more can we take of that crackhead Frankie and Neffe?

Solange looks like Orlando Jones in drag.

Amerie……next. A label change can’t help a terrible voice, vocal coach…maybe.

Solange hate the cover but I love the song and I may get that cd

Amerie nice pic but signing with Def Jam is crazy and like #7 it is overcrowed it is like jumping out the frying pan into the fire, but I wish her well.

Keyshia I hope her new cd is different I am done with woe is me songs.

Yeah I’m loving Solange and the songs I’ve heard from her upcoming album, but the album cover is definitely not the business.

Glad to see Keyshia is on the grind with her 3rd album and I know “The Way It Is” will be just as ghetto fabulous as the seasons prior .. but I love every bit.

Amerie’s pic is nice, just interested in seeing how shes going to pull off being signed to Def Jam.

Solange…I dnt really get the cover but do you
Keyshia.. I never watched her show and prob never would want to, therefor I could care less. Her next album should be good.
Amerie.. WORST DECISION like #7 DEF JAM IS OVERCROWED . Trust me nowadays being able to sing(dnt know her music so I dnt know if she can) doesnt get you NOWHERE. You have to have that extra thing, that ‘IT’ Factor. But she might can make it,if they actaully,hence it be over-crowed, give her some good songs.

Werk Solange!!!!
I am sooooo buying her album.

I hope Amerie knows she wont be able to get any shine on the same label as Rihanna. Rihanna is their first priority. I feel sorry for Amerie cause she is alot more talented.

and why does it seem like def jam signsomeone new every month or something. They just signed that youtube girl and I remeber that boy who was on sweet 16 who got signed there. They boy had been sign for some time now..and I hear NTNT from him. Just like every artist they sign. Its like if you havent been there long like janet(who doenst like them) they do ntn for you.

The ladies are holdin it down. I wish the best for all three of them.

I love Amerie and always will. All three of her albums were amazing.

Keyshia really hit gold with just Just Like You, three #1 singles, i’m proud of her.

Solange, i’m really falling in love with her new sound. It really puts her in a whole different category than her sister.

28.

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 /

WoW NIC are u serious amerie had 3 albums? I havent hear not ONE SONG FROM HER. I guess none was major hits.
If so pls tell me, I might have heard it but didnt no it was her or something like that

Is That Hay In The Background Of Ameri Pic? And Is That A Childhood Play Spot For The Knowles Sisters? That Background For Solo Album Cover Seems Like Where B Took That Photo With That Whip And Aligator. All The Ladies Look Good.

K. Cole is the sh*t..That’s how we do it in the Yay Area.get your money honey! Amarie is washed up. Def Jam is Ri Ri’s house! Poor Solange..she will always be in Bey’s shadow:-(

Solange: The cover looks all over the place, but I’m sure theire’s some meaning behind it. Besides, it’s the music that really counts.

Keyshia Cole: I’ve only seen a few episodes her show. I’m not that intestested in seeing another season. I’m done with reality shows. There’s way too many reality shows on TV. It’s getting annoying.

Amerie: I’m a fan, but I’m a little scared for her to sign to Def Jam as others have stated before. All I can do is hope she can get a chance to shine and the new music will be well recieved.

@28 Have you heard “One Thing” and Why Don’t We Fall In Love? Those are Amerie’s biggest hits.

37.

yahweysbeauty

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 /

By the way, my perception of the album cover is that her music is not just some everyday finished run of the mill project ( the all over the place look) but that which is raw, organic material very much unlike that of the masses today…

being sexy and suitable for her age group and being a mother…

lets free our minds…

Im soo tired of them making Keyshia Cole out to be this girl whos has been through more than the average person. Her life aint got shyt on some of the people I know. How about making a movie out of MJB’s life. Thats something worth watching. Keyshia Cole is already working on a 3rd album…What ever happen to the MJBs, Alicia Keys and Whitney Houstons, who disapear for a minute and come back with something to talking about. “Jus Like You,” should have been named “The Way It Is Pt. II,” because there was nothing about the album that was different from the first. Damn I miss real music….No SHADE!

I have no love for Amerie! I liked her before weight loss and nose jobs became her focus, i loved her first album (i think the nose job runied her voice) but shes kinda gone downhill from there, strained vocals and boring persona. A record label can only do so much and theres a enough clothes horses in the business.

- Solange is in a lane of her own and people are too afraid to get in it with her. Shes so creative and her new sound is dope. H-Town stand up!

- Good for Keyshia I’m glad she’s back in the stu, And cant wait for the new season.

- I’m glad Amerie is making a comeback, I’m really open to hearing her music. Those glasses are the business.

woot. i like solanges cover but like some other people it throws off where it seemed like her album was going. The cover is all over the place in which I like but Im wondering like how it has anything to do with her sound. Still buying home girls album ofcourse

43.

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 /

Solange is funny. I live in Houston, I know where Hadley Street is and it don’t look nuthin like that. They probably went about three streets down to take that pic! Or to the side of town where the Music World office used to be…..lol
I don’t think she’ll be in Bey’s shadow much longer. Her sound is totally different.
Can’t wait to hear what else she has in store.
I absolutely LOVE Keyshia’s hair!
Amerie’s cute always….well usually.

Keyshia is my girl…Yea she do have them “oh woe is me songs” but its good to listen to sometimes…to bad she only sings good on her cd….cuz live she sucks…at least at the 2008 BET awards she did….but she did good on BET spring break segment. This just my opinion though. She got the look down packed now cuz she was lookin hood as hell when she first came out. Sorry i start ramblin about KC…as far as everyone else…i dont really care but good luck to them.

47.

I loved Amerie’s first album, but moving to def jam is like a symbol of the end of her career.

Keyshia Cole is wack. I cannot believe that someone would make a film about her life. I am tired of her whining about how hard her life has been. There are plenty of people without fathers and mothers who have not had a real impact in their lives.

Solange’s cover is wack. I don’t like the “i’m standing in the city dump background”, but I like SoLANgE.

Solange’s album cover is so 60’s and physcadelic inspired. I love it. In fact, I’m surpised she’s getting any props. I remember when people treated her as the long lost sister LOL. Good to see she’s coming into her own.

I like Amerie as well. But, I’m not to sure about Def Jam (as said above me many times). I hope she has Rich Harrison back on board as her producer though. They always had great chemsitry. I wonder will she do another collabo with Nas, now that they’re both label mates again? After all, he did introduce her on his Stillmatic album, and they both were on Columbia, and they have several collabos already. So I guess another would be in order.

Solange is just too unbelievable! First of all, she looks like a knockoff Beyonce with the mass of weave, hers is just black…and the pound of make up, hers is just more eccentric. And most of all she SOUNDS like a knockoff Beyonce. If she were not Beyonce’s sister, she’d be one of the contestants laughed at during the American Idol auditions. Or am I the only one who notices that she strains and strains to no avail and yet instead of cutting the note short like most who know they can’t sing, she’ll trail it on for several seconds like she’s exploring new octaves. smh!

50.

Oh, and to those of you who brought up the psychedelic look of the cover, it’s not so much that as it is a knockoff of Prince’s cover for…forgot the name, but I’ve got the vintage record. It’s a scene outdoors with the front of a car, broken signs, a mass of instruments, and tons of other “junk”… that’s what she’s trying to accomplish here…operative word is “trying”

51.

Maleficent

Wednesday, July 23, 2008 /

Love the vinyl albums and the victrola and turntables strewn about on Solange’s CD cover. There’s actual symbolism behind it. I dig it. Its like she’s an ‘angel’ that fell to earth in an urban environment bearing an old-school sound (hence the stack of records and old electronics).

I totally get what she was trying to convey. She’s a live wire, and i’ll def. be copping the record-LEGALLY! And these days, it takes something very special to get me to pay my hard-earned money for sh*t. ;)

52.

Maleficent

Wednesday, July 23, 2008 /

Pixie, you think it looks like Sign O’ The Times? It looks nothing like that Prince cover IMO. Solange’s is organic, and that’s about the only similarity they have.

53.

Kellz

Wednesday, July 23, 2008 /

I can’t wait for Keyshia’s new album. She’s like the new MJB. I also can’t wait to see what Amerie is bring to the table. She can’t sing that well but at least you feel emotion in her tracks and her writing is pretty good (yes… she writes her own songs).

54.

Solange looks so pretty on the cover, I will definetly buy her album. Her voice is very unique and different and it’s strong, she is doing her thing. Keyshia Cole needs to hurry up with this third album! :) The first one was good, the second one was great so what is the third one going to be…..fantastic!!!!!! Come on Keyshia, come on. And Amerie is coming back into the scene? I hope she does her thing.

Pixie is Censored

Wednesday, July 23, 2008 /

#51 With all due respect, I think we all got what she was trying to convey because it’s really really literal…it’s very very cliched, as well…and did I mention she comes off as pseudointellectual? I know it’s hard or maybe even cruel but I just don’t believe she’s got a profound bone in her body. Everything she’s done so far seems an obvious attempt to be “different”…And “Sign O’ The Times” thank you! That was what I was thinking of. So…yeah, I disagree strongly with the idea of Solange as some organic and futuristic soul singer… And this cover seems a pretty obvious attempt at lifting Prince’s cover…it’s obvious, IMO

Ya’Know.
I could honestly care less what her cover looks like. I’m one of those people who ALWAYS lose the cases to her CD’s. So when I cop the CD I wont be looking at the cover for too long.

Can’t wait for that new Keyshia.
