♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

Wednesday, July 9, 2008

♫ Michelle Wiliams - The Greatest (full) - listen
“The Greatest” is a new track from Michelle’s upcoming third solo album, Unexpected. So far, I have been digging all of the music that I’ve heard from Michelle, aside from that fan-made clip of “Hello Heartbreak.” What I’m really impressed with, is that the single, “We Break the Dawn” is very representative of the rest of the material on the album. Even though it seems as though Michelle is giving us a lot of midtempos, it is staying in the same lane of music.

♫ Brooke Valentine - Friday Night (full) - listen
Here’s some new music from Brooke Valentine, with the same track that has been used by Le’Che Martin of Making the Band, as well as Amerie on her last album, Because I Love It… This track has really gotten around. This song is definitely from some old sessions from Brooke Valentine’s shelved second album, Physical Education. I love Amerie’s version of the song, penned by The Clutch, as well as Le’Che Martin’s, so I guess that’s why Brooke’s isn’t doing anything for me.

♫ Ne-Yo - Not Perfect (full) - listen
For some reason, this song instantly became background music to me. I have been really anticipating Ne-Yo’s new release, Year of the Gentlemen, but I haven’t really been digging much of the new material that I’ve heard, other than the current single, “Closer,” which has been tearing up the charts in the UK, but isn’t being received as well in the US. I just expected this to be bigger for him. “Not Perfect” really just sort of bored me to tears. Hopefully this is just some album filler.

♫ Day26 - Can’t Be Me (full) - listen
Day26 certainly cut a lot of tracks in that short span of time that didn’t make the album! It seems as though with all this bonus material, they could have released a second album by now! I’m glad they finally released new video for their current single, “Since You’ve Been Gone.” “Can’t Be Me” could have been a good song for the album, but it feels like there are some \holes in it. It’s just slightly underdeveloped.

I agree with Michael, when listening to Amerie’s version and Brooke’s version it is more than clear that Amerie has it on lock (even though she was definitely pitchy on certain parts). The vocal production (especially on the hook) is like “Why dont we fall in love” and “1 Thing” rolled into one. She brings this crazy fun and ecentric energy to the song and makes it a banger. Brooke has very nice vocals (Covergirl, Dying from a broken heart) but the production of this song does not mesh well with her vocals…it sounds dry and uninspired. Now as for ms. LeChe her version “Getaway” gives it a more laid back smooth feel…love her version also!

Michelle is doing her thing..very proud of her!

Ne-yo…i’ll wait for better material

Day26..not a fan

TO #83

Let’s be honest. Honestly you’re a Amerie fan and I’m a Brooke fan, and to me that 1 thing that got me trippin is Amerie. Ok, the reason why Physical Education never saw the light of day was not Brooke’s fault. It was Virgin Records, who she was signed to at the time. She knew they were horrible and once she saw how poorly they promoted Janet’s album she refused to turn her album in. So that’s why it hasn’t been released. Plus she is signed to Subliminal Entertainment which was distributed through Virgin, but now it isn’t any more because she “fought” to get off Virgin.

And let’s just say, Amerie’s latest album, “Because I Love It” was soooo successful in the United States… but wait, it wasn’t released there either. So don’t hate on a singer that had trouble to get her album because of her record label when Amerie didn’t get her album out in the U.S.

Oh, and I’ve seen Amerie perform. Especially on Ghetto superstar when she replaced Mya. She was soooo good I had to cover my ears so they wouldn’t bleed. Most people know how good of a singer Brooke and that she has a great voice. Amerie just had a little luck from people like you. You’re also probably mad that it looks like Brooke “stole” Amerie’s beat when Brooke recorded the song before her.

So look, I really didn’t want to reply to what you said, but a number one fan has got to do what they gotta do. And I never said Amerie could never make a hot song. I just find that her voice is usually out of tune when I hear her most of the time.

Yo did anyone see So you think you can dance last night? They had Michelle song The Greatest as they sent the young girl comfort home. That’s a big statement about her songs the are being played on TV shows

Michelle and Brooke Valentine need to get into fashion or make a perfume. I guess what I’m saying is that I didn’t like either track.

Ne-Yo is cool. I loved his first album but since his first album he’s been slipping. I don’t even know what to say about him. He needs to pick the ball back up. Dig deep within himself and think about something real dramatic so he can sing about something worth listening to. Same thing with Usher.

Day26, their on bad boy’s label….need I say more. Bad boy is extremely overrated. I don’t know why these boys even fought to get on the label. Yeah yeah…DK done really well but think about it. When they came out they didn’t have any competition except for Donnie (which we haven’t heard nothing from) and Day26. When your competition is somebody who doesn’t have an established fan base, of course you’ll do well. Anyway, I’m not really feeling them or the song. They need to give it up and go back to what they were doing before Making The Band.

Brooke can really sing. I mean if you’ll heard her on David Letterman or AOL Sessions then you know vocally Brooke is a beast.

OMG, she looks so pretty. I saw her profile on millionaire&celeb dating site “***C e l e b C u p i d.c o m***” last week. What kind of relationship is she looking for on that site? Just curious.

I don’t know why people hate on Day26, their album is the business. I love this song too, shuld’ve made the album. There are finally 5 dudes in a group who can sing their asses off, yet people always try and hate, and don’t want them to succeed. I don’t know what’s going on with music now, but Day26 definetly have some classic songs. I wish people would stop comparing them to others, they are just paying homage, and trying to bring back real music.

Brooke is and will always be WACK. I like ONE song out of her whole cd and that’s a damn shame. Wish I could have heard Ne-Yo’s and Michelle’s track (came too late I guess). Not feeling Day26’s song either.
