♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫
Wednesday, July 16, 2008



♫ Lloyd - Year of the Lover (full) - listen
I have really been digging Lloyd’s delivery and swagger as of lately. Lessons In Love is shaping up to be a pretty solid third release for the R&B crooner. “Year of the Lover” is supposed to be the third single, while he promotes the album for an August 5th release. From what I’ve heard, a rapper will be added to “Year of the Lover” for when it’s released as a single.
♫ Teairra Mari - Finding My Way Back (full) - listen
We just reported that Teairra Mari inked a new deal with Interscope Records, and she’s already dropped her first single, “No No No” on us. A couple of tracks have leaked here and there, but here is “Finding My Way Back.” I don’t know, this is really the first bit of material that I’ve really been digging. I was a fan of the music that Teairra released on
♫ Michelle Williams - Hungover (full) - REMOVED
This, honestly, is one of my favorite tracks to hear from Michelle since material has started leaking from Unexpected. Michelle’s third solo album, which drops August 12th, is shaping up to be a very solid project. Everything that I’ve heard, I’ve pretty much been in love with. “Hungover” is really hard-hitting, and honestly, I wasn’t expected this from Michelle. I am very excited about this project, and I think that people should really give her her props.
♫ London - Sometimes (full) - listen
We did a hot or not post on London, who is one of the newest signees to Universal Motown a while back, and it seems as though some more material is starting to leak from his project. “Sometimes” is a really mellow track, I really dig it production-wise. Vocally, and lyrically, however, it is really reminding me of something else - it sound so familiar, but I can’t seem to put my finger on where I’ve heard it before.

She is so beautiful. Her blog and photos were found at black dating site BlackBbwMeet.com last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is seeking on that site.

Lloyd I love the song as soon as the beat dropped. The lyrics is soooooooooooooooo hot it is the year of the gentlemen and now the year of the lover. This makes me want Lloyd cd I hope it is on the cd.
I didn’t listen to anything else I am afraid they may not be as good as Lloyds’ song.

The beat on “Year of the Lover” is mucho caliente….
Feeling Teairra Marie…..
Like the beat a little on Michelle it sounded to much like something “Mary Mary” would do though it had a very “Secular Christian” feel to it (yeah I know that’s a contradiction)
Skipped London…..

I have viewed many of their videos and photos at :::::::::M e e t i n g W e a l t h y.c o m::::::::::::: where many fans are together.It’s famous free dating site which is open to all 18+ quality singles and where all kinds of relationships are possible. MSN reported that celeb Charlie Sheen found his love last May. And recently I heard that Britney signed up the site.

Wow! Lloyd… that song is a sure hit!
I’m pleasantly surprised by Michelle this should be her next single.
T Mari….nice song she sounds like ((((ECNOYEB)))) especially in the beginning.
I think I’ll give London a bypass Lloyds joint was hot!!

Erykah Badu is very intelligent, healthy, and wise. Who are we to judge. I’m sure her children are just as well rounded and healthy as kids from a 2 family home if not more. I’m glad she spoke her “peace”.

Lloyd , that song is sexy. I hope he continue doing real r&b songs. He and Trey Songz so far have kept real r&b in music.

These tracks weren’t that spectacular.
I don’t think Lloyd is as wack as everyone says but this song is so wack! I
I had received Teairra Mari’s track as well but I was told it was titled Find My Way… oh well, whatever LOL! I actually kinda like the song. She stepped up on the track. I still don’t like her as a singer though. I can’t get over her I’m so cute and ghetto attitude she had when she first came out.
I really like Michelle’s song. I like the beat and her voice sounds so much better. Image is not everything, but I just can’t get into Michelle because she reminds me of someone’s grandma.
(w stands for who in this case) WTF is London?

LLOYD IS UGLY AND SHORT.
TEAIRRA MARI IS JUST ANOTHER AMIL—THE ROC TOOK HER ASS FOR A RIDE AND DROPPED HER AND THE POOR GURL CANT NEVA “FIND HER WAY BACK”.
MICHELLE WILLIAMS SOUNDS LIKE A OLD GRANDMA SMOKIN 60 A DAY AND IF KELLY ROWLAND CANT SELL NO RECORDS SHE AINT GONE BE BIG.

Tierra Marie should come with something more original. Thats cut doesnt really do it for me. Everything is aight but not at all inspiring. And as for the guy on Universal “London”, his song reminds me of Mario Winans. I like the tone of his voice, but I cant really say im diggin the song.

Can the black community retire the word “swagger” please ? I mean people use it like its a brand new term that hasn’t been in existence nearly as long as the English language. Its lame and tired…

ALL THE TRACKS ARE DOPE!
LONDON IS THAT DUDE…AND IM LOSIN MY DAMN MIND AT SOME OF THE COMMENTS SAYIN HE’S WACK OR THE SONG IS LAME…??
IF THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF GOOD MUSIC…IT ONLY LEAVES ROOM FOR SONGS LIKE “STEPPED ON MY J’S” I MEAN DAMN, EVERYBODY IS JUST RIDIN OFF OF THE MOST ESTABLISHED ARTIST…IE LLOYD. WHO I ALSO THINK IS DOPE. BUT GATDAMN!
SAME REASON WHY FLAVOR FLAV AND NEW YORK EVEN HAVE CAREERS…
SHAMEFUL

Lloyd’s track is cool. It’s quite catchy. Teairra’s track is ok ,very mellow .
Howvever i disagree with most of the posts on london .Great vocals ,song is beautiful and his voice is very original .He doesn’t sound like a failed british artist to me,. Lyricallyy , vocally ,the song is nice.
To be honest i’m not such a big fan of gospel (although i will listen to it ocassionally) so its not a surprise that Michelles song doesn’t do it for me.

Couldnt have said it better myself . I think people should give other artists a chance. I bet you if lloyd done that song instead of london ,people on here might like it . Anyway i would like to see more new artists.

Wish I could have heard Michelle’s but I heard the other 3. Nothing iPod worthy…. Funny how T. Mari can def. sing better than her big ass forehand counterpart but she’s having more trouble establishing herself. Wonder what that’s about????

Can’t people just give these new artists a chance? They just want to follow their dreams like the rest of us! Stop tearing them down! It’s not fair that you aren’t giving them credit just because they aren’t famous or known.
Teairra-I can see this getting airplay
London-Keep up the good work.

Oh that song sounds like “so sick” by ne-yo lol it took me a minute yo but I figure it out. I like the way London is singing but he needs to come with something a bit slower. The way to get it big these days is to hit the ladies with a nice slow beat and then speed it up.
you know you love me,

I love “Year Of The Lover” by Lloyd but I’ve loved Lloyd since his Southside CD dropped. I love Lloyd 24/7 365 days of the year. The boy can really sing and he brings something new to the game. Also,Lloyd is the finest thing in music today with his perfect skin color and beautiful,long wavy hair. Lloyd is my baby’s Daddy!
