Tuesday, July 22, 2008
Check out Solange’s official album cover for her upcoming sophomore release SoL-Angel & the Hadley Street Dreams. The record is set to hit stores on August 26th.
KEYSHIA COLE UPDATE
Keyshia Cole is currently in the studio recording her third yet-untitled CD to be released late 2008. The singer is gearing up for a soon-to-be announced tour. She will also start taping the 3rd season of her hit BET reality show, “The Way It Is.” The second season was the highest rated program in the network’s history.
While recording the new record, it is reported that Keyshia will begin shooting a film based on her life.
AMERIE’S NEW PROMO PIC
A new Amerie promo pic hit the net today. The singer recently inked a deal with Def Jam Records after she parted ways with Columbia Records earlier this year. Amerie is hoping the new contract with Def Jam will help boost her career to even greater heights.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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”

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.

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.

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).

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.

#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

Can’t wait for keyshia’s show to come back on because Frankie is hilarious, They’re a real family with ups and downs that’s why i think everybody can relate to them.
Amerie is a beautiful woman but her music is garbage minus the one or two good singles.

Keyshia looks like she has a lil gut in that pic. Is it just the angle? Idk. Slow down on the albums though and the movie should be interesting. Will it be some Lifetime stuff like Fantasia’s? I heard Keyshia’s Momma has her own show coming out. Is that true?
Amerie looks flyy. Very 80’s but done right. I’m interested to see what Def Jam can do for her. “Why Don’t We Fall In Love” and “One Thing” were my jams!

Solange album cover fits the music, a mixture of junk and funk. Amarie can’t sing, I don’t care which label she gets on, the crappy voice isn’t gonna change. I like Keyshia, but don’t want to see no more of her ghetto family. I mean really, Frankie needs to sit the hell down already, it’s a shame for a woman of her age to act the way she does. Keyshia is pretty but that outfit, it’s working against her.

Amerie is gorgeous!!! The sunglasses are haute! I like A’s music she is very underrated she can def sing with the help of the studio. Well she has to try different labels until she find the one that is going to work with her best!

Solange- I really don’t care for her. I don’t know why people are all of a sudden so interested in her and her music. The girl grew up too fast, having a baby accidentally at such a young age and now she’s trying to act young again?
I really do like Keyshia, especially now that she checked her attitude. She’s really a sweet and caring person. I love her show as well. It’s so real. Her voice is great and I personally think that she’s the only real contemporary female R&B artist that we have left. A. Keys is there but I consider her just R&B/soul not contemporary (modern)
Amerie is my girl right there. I think a lot of you have no right to clown Amerie when y’all are the same people who are supporting that big headed alien. Signing with Def Jam was probably the worse thing she could do because they don’t care about anyone but 5 head. Plus, her music style doesn’t fit Def Jam. She should’ve tried to switch to Janet’s old label, Virgin Records.

@ #83 I totally agree
H-Town stand up!!!!
I look forward to Solo’s album though.
Amerie just a little FYI if they didn’t put Janet (a already establish icon) out there. You know damn well you don’t have a chance. I’m not hatin just stating the facts. Def Jam is not place to be right now….

You amerie haters need to fall back, just because she has a soft voice and doesn’t over sing and scream like fantasia doesn’t mean she cant sing. She’s the truth unlike watered down pop singers like beyonce,ciara, and rihanna. Instead of being jealous be happy for her, everytime something good happens to a nigga haters come out the woodworks.

It’s always the sexy mixed chicks like amerie that bitches are always hating on. People diss amerie but ride artist like rihanna who is not original at all ( if i recall kelis was rockin that style way before rihanna.)

keyshia is trying to make that money
didnt her album just came out
anyway sure it will be good
she needs to work on her personality as a star
and how she treats her fans
even the low income ones
she also needs to stop wasting money on all her peoples
she has potential

We really don’t have a lot of R&B singers who can actually sing anymore, most of them are just performers who dance and have good beats. When R&B singers who can actually sing do come out with albums no one supports them.
Solange is only in her sisters shadow because society places her there, Keisha Cole can’t sing and need to stop wasting money on a mom who hasn’t even found all her kids and only leeches on Keisha because she has money and the other daughter is pretty much just like her mom. Amerie may need to focus on a different audience.

Whoever said Amerie voice was terrible obviously never heard her sing. Columbia had all of those great female artisist and didn’t know how too promote them. The problem is they have labeled all black music as hip-hop so you have artisist who are not hip-hop and the industry just does not know how too promote black artisist. Not pop stars but artist. She needs too do like Eryka, Jill, Maxwell, & Lauren and focus on bulding her craft and become a tour road warrior. Instead of trying to compete in that pop world. That is what’s over crowded. Everybody looks alike and sounds alike.

I actually like a couple of the songs on Solange’s new album, best of luck to her on her new project. I think with this new material people may take her more seriously as an artist, rather than someone who’s trying to ride on the coattails of her sister’s success.

I love how abstract Solange is with everything. Her whole style is very creative.
Keyshia pushin out albums quick just like Robyn Fenty (lol). Its good that she staying on her grind. I can’t wait for the 3rd season of her show, her family is hilarious!

Solange IS stepping out of Be-once’s shadow, that’s why she’s TRYING so hard to climb out of the box. Had doubts about her a long time ago but I’m actually interested after hearing the single. I might just cop that.
Keisha annoys me in a way, but something about her I like. Her music is pretty good. She always got that “AAAnnd don’t f**k wit me” face on. The show is out of control and sometimes too ghetto and embarassing but it’s real life. I appreciate that.
Amerie….oooh lord Amerie. Folks!! Besides “One Thing” and “Why Don’t We Fall In Love” (which by the way I liked) Amerie got nothin. She needs beats with drums and loud sounds in the background. She’s pretty, but she can’t sing. She should atleast know how to dance, I mean Ciara can’t sing but she can get down! And as far as coppin her album(s)..you trippin. She dropped 3? Would’nt have known. She can join Cassy.

Why are they making a movie about Keyshia Cole’s life? Isn’t that the purpose of the TV series? What tha? I’m sorry but the story is not all that mentionable to make a movie. I’m not a fan anyway but I will give her the props to say that she’s definitely staying relevant even if I think she couldn’t sing her way outta a cold ass shower!
Solange’s cover is interesting. I just wanna know why do they wear like 7 bags of hair in the Summer?
Amerie is cute.

Luv Solange’s new album cover. The girl is paying homage to all those 60s psychdelic groups such as Sly & the Family Stone, Jimi Hendrix and a few others. Give us a history lesson girl.
I loved Amerie’s first single “Why don’t we fall in Love?” The music biz, though, is a fickle mahf-cka. It’s all about record sales and all that ish. Oh well, hope the girl can revive her career before she get’s over 30. It’s a cold business to me.

I love solange’s new single…..great voice, although it does resemble Beyonce, it still sounds great….I mean come on…..they are sisters, just like jessica and ashley simpson, lohan and her sister…..we have seen it plenty of times before. Their voices will be similar, they come from the same people. Another example just for kicks….toni braxton and her sister(s), the braxtons……hell all of them dont just sound alike they even look alike…..how confusing. I like the cover, its different. i bet people would buy it, if it was B on the cover. Also, pick up Michelle williams album “Unexpected” in stores October….pushed back probably because of Beyonce album that will be released soon. I think Keyshia is trying too hard to be like MARY J. Blige………..NEWS FLASH…….THERE’S ONLY 1 MARY……SORRY KEYSHIA. Love Amerie, i think people just need to listen to her and understand where she is coming from. Why all the really talented people, like Amerie, Mya, Blu Cantrell, Vivan Green,….i can go on….dont even get the time and day?
