♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

♫ Keri Hilson feat. Timbaland – Return the Favor (snippet) – REMOVED
Check out this snippet of Keri Hilson’s “Return the Favor,” which was originally supposed to be the first single from her debut album, In A Perfect World…, which is set to hit stores on September 23rd. I think that they didn’t go with this song because it’s similarities to “The Way I Are,” but I love the song all the same. I’m really excited about Keri’s album. She just shot the video for her first single, “Energy” in LA. It was directed by Melina.

♫ Joe – Beautiful (full) – listen
Here’s some new music from one of my favorite R&B crooners in the game, Joe. “Beautiful” is apparently some new material from his upcoming project. I actually was a huge fan of his last album, Ain’t Nothin’ Like Me, which didn’t really perform well from what I remember. “Beautiful” is a cool track though. I think Joe just needs more of a push from his label in order to get his project out there.

♫ Jordin Sparks feat. Beyond Belief – One Step At A Time (Remix) (full) – listen
I believe “One Step At A Time” is Jordin Sparks’s third single from her album, which has been doing really well since the release of the Chris Brown duet, “No Air.” Jordin has been looking stellar recently as well. This is the official remix for the new single, produced by Kwame.

♫ Karina Pasian – Slow Motion (Spanish Version) (full) – listen
Many have been calling new artist and Def Jam signee Karina Pasian a child prodigy. Not only does she have a beautiful voice, plays piano, and now she’s creating even more of a case by singing in differently languages! I cannot deny it – she has an absolutely beautiful voice. Karina’s debut album, First Love is set to drop August 19th, and she just dropped her second single, “Can’t Find the Words,” and it was the single of the week on iTunes.

    jordan- hate no air, this ones ok though

  14. My Name is Hancock, and I Drink and Stuff.

  15. ~*aShLeY*~

  16. Jessica

    I’m not feelin’ Keri Hilson or her music..

    I love Joe.. Can’t wait

    I like Jordin Sparks..

    I also like Karina..

  17. RaDi0*K00L

    Brian…
    how come u didnt post the new Solange song “ToldYaSo”?
    im suprised i havent seen it on CL…

  18. Jeffer

    He is a cool man. we all love him. there are so many fans of him. and they set up the groups related to stars. you can even check out his sexy and beautiful photos, videos and blogs on the wealthy dating club R I C H L O V I N G.C O M for hot singles to hook up for Hot Love and Sexy Dating.

  19. Khia Fan (R-E-S-P-E Respect Me!!)

    KERI SONG NOT BAD….BUT SHE AINT NEARLY AS TALENTED AS THE OTHER FEMALE SINGERS TIM USED TO WORK WITH, BEFORE HE SOLD OUT TO WHITE CORPORATE AMERICA. THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN WAS WHEN HE WORKED WIT DOSE CORNY LAMEASS ONE REPUBLIC. HE DIGUSTS ME DESE DAYS PRETENDING TO BE SEXY ON TRACKS WHEN HE A FAT SLOB. TIMBALAND IS A SAD SAD CASE CUZ HIS PRODUCTION QUALITY HAS GONE DOWN, AND NOTHING LIKE WAT HE DID IN THE 90′S.

  20. Tyson

    Joe is one of the coldest dudes vocally in the Game!. Dude is so so underated! I dont think his label promotes him well at all. Just keep putting out the real R&B Joe!

  21. Shorty

    I’m loving the Keri & Joe song. Jordan is ok

  22. Shorty

    to #19 tim is still doing his thing. That is your opinion…

  23. Pixie

    Brian’s reviews..ehhhhhhhhh….need work!

  24. Dame(I Just have one thing to say)

    I am a huge Joe fan and I like this Beautiful but I loooooove the other Beautiful form his My Name Is Joe cd that one is fire. His voice is so beautiful I am so mad he didn’t blow up.

    Karina I heard her sing on the radio and I was sold on her from that day I am buying her cd.

  25. ThatGirlLinda (CL for Change)

    Girl those aren’t reviews they are opinions. Now I’m not really feeling Keri I only see her on here I never see her on Billboard and plus I didn’t feel that energy song either.. I want to her more rnb if I want to listen to pop I’ll stick with B and Rhianna… Although Keri can sing still not interested.. When she was on BET I couldn’t really get her personality.
    Joe- love him he always comes with it that last cd was gooddddddddd… RNB at it’s finest.
    Jordin- has a great voice I wish it was rnb though

  26. Lady Architect

    I like the Keri Hilson song, but I am really hoping that her whole album is not produced by Timb cause all his tracks are sounding the same and his voice is getting very annoying on everyone’s tracks.

  27. Richaay

    Keri’s song is hot! :D

  28. MS ROCHELLE

    #4, that Keri Hilson song does sound like some throwback Destiny Child. Not really feeling it and Tim needs to realize that its his production skills that make a track hot not that ghastly singing.
    Yo #19, you keep me in stitches, but I have to say that I am a Onerepublic fan (the front man can sing).
    Joe–yes, a true vocalist has returned. This man is fan-friggin-tastic. He is so underappreciated. I was praying he would come back and not disappear into oblivion like Carl Thomas.
    Jordin Sparks remix is not awful but its not great. I think the original version is better and suits her image and age.

  29. Dame(I Just have one thing to say)

    @29 I love Carl Thomas too he really disappeared Diddy really let him get away. I still listen to Emotional and his 2nd cd his voice is beautiful too.

  30. nolachick

    @30 you are so right, but does anybody notice that diddy has recycled all his old artist in for new ones( faith evans= cherri dennis, 112= day 26, total=danity kane, carl thomas= donnie etc.) when the record sales slow down, he just throws them to the back instead of supporting and getting their game back up. joe’s last album was hotttt. i can’t believe no one isn’t feeling him.

  31. MzTrici

    Only listened to Joe’s (all time favorite R&B male singer), and I loved it.

  32. H-Town Chic***

    I like Karine song @ war at 16. I far from that age yet I can relate lol. Her vocal aren’t that strong but she seems talented best wishes to her.

  33. Khia Fan (R-E-S-P-E Respect Me!!)

    JOE ALWAYS BRINGIN THE HEAT!!!!!!!!!

  34. KEEPIN IT REAL

    I like jordin’s song!!!

  35. *CALI BABY*

    Keri Hilson and Karina’s music is just greatness and love their voices.I’m always inspired when finished listening to their songs.

  36. E

    Brian is the only person in the world looking forward to Keri’s album lol. I think she is so overrated. And why is he saying that Jordin’s album has been doing well since ‘No Air’? It was doing well before that when the first single ‘Tattoo’ blew up.

  37. Khia Fan (R-E-S-P-E Respect Me!!)

    @38, BRIAN THUNK MISSY GOT 2 HITS OFF OF HER NEW ALBUM (CHING A LING AND SHAKE YOUR POM POM) WEN DEY FLOPPED.

  38. Dame(I Just have one thing to say)

    Lol at E I agree is their anything that Keri do that Brian doesn’t like? She is in the Nas video but I couldn’t really hear her over Nas rapping.

  39. Nick

    Im not sure wat 2 say about this Keri Hilson chik-JOES SONG IS BLAZZZZZIN HOTTTT!!!! (as always) hes a great-real true R&B artist/Jordin Sparks is great 2 me as well, the new chik seems very talented, its jst IDK, Alicia Keys type style, it aint gna fly 2 well…BUT shes good-

  40. !watevaisayistrue!

  41. Ashley

    Keri Hilson… who is she? She cannot outshine beyonce neither is Ashanti.

  42. Khia Fan (R-E-S-P-E Respect Me!!)

    @42, WOW I SEE THE SHORT BUS DIDNT COME BY UR WAY DIS MORNING!! IM NOT HATIN ON ANYONE!! PLEASE LAY OFF THE CRACK.

    BUT……COMPARE THIS TO ANYTHING TIM EVER PRODUCED FOR AALIYAH (RIP) OR TWEET OR NICOLE WRAY OR MISSY IN THE 90′S AND U KNOW WAT I MEAN. HE WAS HOT BACK THEN BUT NOW HIS ASS BE WATERIN DAT SHYYT DOWN.

  43. Khia Fan (R-E-S-P-E Respect Me!!)

    ….AND KANYE IS KILLIN TIMBO RITE NOW AND HAS BEEN 4 THE LAST FOUR YEARS IN PRODUCING TRACKS.

  44. luvs2speakhermind

    I’m glad there’s more people on here who say that they aren’t feelin’ Keri either, not to bring negativity, it’s just that I thought I was the only one LOL!

    Something about her I just do not care for. I don’t find her attractive, she’s light and has light eyes… that’s about it. She can sing, but I’m not too impressed by her voice and her songs are too luke warm for me.

    I don’t care for Karina Pastrian either. She sounds like all the girls from my high school in chorus class (I graduated a few months ago)

    The Joe song… it bored me. Sorry CL not really feelin’ these tracks.

  45. mofo

    I am a timb fan, and if you’ve seen Keri in the studio, she is a beast (most of the clutch is). But, sadly – I am getting tired of timb, and I’ve been waiting on Keri stuff for a while but a release in Sept for anyone is a bad idea. As 85 other artists are dropping their material the same month.

  46. CINDERELLA

    allll for number 42…TIMB is amazing…90% of everything he touches turns to gold…..justin, nelly furtado, madonna, one republic..and now keri!….lets not forget aaliyah, missy is producin shit for other ppl now…but she started and still works wit TIMBALAND!….he did not sell out…he grew ….he is smart..and talented…his album was/ is fire…like every single track is amazing…stop hatin…give respect where its due..and TIMB deserves it!!

  47. Jamie872006

    Keri Hilson song is good.

    Joe is okay.

    Karian song it is not working, can’t hear anything.

  48. Sweetp

    I love Joe song & what he singing . Its R& B music with substance. Ppl like him are not getting their shine like there are suppose to. I like him & I like Avant. Those are some R&B crooners.

  49. CINDERELLA

    joe is sweet…but he has always kinda bored me……he song grows on you….but it never catches my attention at first….

  50. Dame(I Just have one thing to say)

    What happen to Donnell Jones? I love his music too

  51. Khia Fan (R-E-S-P-E Respect Me!!)

    AAAAAAAAAAND TIM NEED 2 STOP WORKIN WIT SO MANY CRACKERS (A FEW LIKE MADONNA IS AIGHT CUZ SHE MA GURL!!) AND NEGLECTING HIS OWN. I CUD CARE LESS WAT YALL SAY CUZ I LOVE MY PEOPLE!!!! STOP DICKRIDING JUSTIN AND ONEREPUBLIC AND ALL DOSE OTHER CORNY ASS YT DUDES.

  52. Pretty4261

    Loveeeeeeeeeee Joe’s new song!!! Looking forward to his album. Not feeling Keri’s song and Karina’s didn’t open.

  53. Jay

    Glad to hear some real R&B from Joe.

  54. Ashley

    I agree with number 46. Keri Hilson is not going to do well regardless of the good songs that she has right now. I’m not really impress with. She does not have the star quality that i have seen so far with the other female RandB singers. But i applaud her for writing great songs.

  55. DAMMIT WEBBIE I AINT YA MOMMA!!!!!! INDEPENDENT MY ASS!!!!!!

    I don’t see the big hype about Keri Hilson’s music! I will give it to her that she can write songs but that is where it ends!

    She has a marketable look and her voice is generic….just like every other chick that is either hot or up and coming now!

    That is why I like Jordin Sparks and Karina Pasian! They both are talented young women ( their voices are sick!!!!) that create positive music!

  56. Sanaa

    Karina is such a talented young lady. I can’t hear the spanish version since I’m at work…but the english version is beautiful! Wonderful melody, great message…good luck to you girl!!!

  57. crunkpoet

    umm a review is an opinion..i’ve never known a music review to be about facts…

  58. be4real

    @ 42 you are so on your FACTS. B is okay but it is done for me and rihanna is my gurl but pep help her and 1 republican was the shit for me and many others. i have the cd
