♫ 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.
