♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

Thursday, July 24, 2008

♫ Pussycat Dolls feat. Darkchild, Diddy, Lil’ Wayne & Fatman Scoop - When I Grow Up (Remix) (full) - listen
Lil’ Wayne is on everything! But that’s besides the point. This remix goes hard! Even though the Pussycat Dolls are hardly on the track, I am definitely digging the remix, produced by Darkchild and featuring a host of other cameos! It just seems like it would be a cool, radio-friendly track. I hear a bit of an MJ sample in the track as well. Love everyone’s delivery on this track.

♫ Usher - His Mistakes (full) - listen
Hmmm. Usher is gearing up to release “His Mistakes” for his third single from his latest LP, Here I Stand. Even though I like “His Mistakes” as an album cut, I’m not sure if I’m really all smiles about it being released as a single. “Love In This Club” was very misleading, as far as the rest of the content on the album. I really think that the label is trading low by releasing this as a single.

♫ Karina Pasian - Winner (full) - listen
Check out this new beautiful song from the young songstress, Karina Pasian, entitled “Winner.” I love the sound of this girls voice. I love the fact that she just knows where to go and what to do with her voice, it feels like she has so much control and knows exactly where her sweet spots are. Not to mention, I’m digging the production. This is a cool cut from her debut album, First Love, which is slated to hit stores and online August 19th.

♫ Ja Rule feat. Robin Thicke - Pushin’ It (full) - listen
Robin Thicke has been appearing on a lot of guest spots! First, Eve’s new single, now some new music from Ja Rule, who seemed to have some problems getting a positive response when he tried to release his new album, The Mirror. Apparently, Ja sampled Rick Ross’s “Push It” for the new song. I think the song is pretty solid, but I’m not sure if anything could revive or rejuvenate any excitement for Ja Rule’s comeback. I think his season might be up…

I think they all are gay and just wanted 2 jump on the track…its a hot song tho..but its a girl song…Now if Lil Kim was on it ..It would be a different story..2 me they just made their own version

Woop a.k.a. I hate haters... does that make me a hater?

Thursday, July 24, 2008 /

the pussycat dolls song is alright, although I still like the original. When is it gonna be released in the UK.
Usher shoulda released something like ‘What’s ur name’. that’s a choon with the eurythmics sample.

oh and Ja Rule aint coming back no matter how ‘good’ a song he makes. how r u gonna come back with a song called ‘body’… another misogynistic rap song with a typical rap video. His 4ft 11″ self needs to leave it alone.

i like the Pussycat remix.. its hot.. tho i have to agree with #1, it would be much hotter if it had all female rappers on it.. like.. Lil Kim, Eve, Trina and Missy.. that woulda been Real hot.. i still like the song tho.. it goes real hard!

Karina… LOVES HER… and that is all…

lol lol

You lot should give Jah a chance man … The game needs him, you know you miss those Jah tracks from back in the day…..

and to #3 ‘body’ was a nice club banger, especially in the UK.

The Pussycat song is whack …aint feeling it..

Karina Pasian’s song is aight but i think it needs a stronger vocalist, besides the beat sounds a bit like J holiday’s “put you to bed”

Usher - didnt even know he had that song on his album, haven’t listened to it properly yet, but i’m liking this track..

Peace

I’m not a fan of the Pussywhack dolls but i am feeling this remix…..
Usher is clearly on the downslide with this “AS I AM” crap and everything after Love in the club is falling way short. I think its because his last as was just too good (Hard to top confessions)
Everybody else …”Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnn”

I had heard Usher’s “His Mistakes” way before the album dropped, and I loved it!

I like the remix of PCD’s “When I Grow Up” it was a hawt remix…

Ja-Rule’s song is kewl, except I hate Robyn Thickes voice on the song! He can not sing to me @ all! It sounds like a really eerie whisper…ugh…don’t know how nor why people like him vocally…

Hate Karin’s song, it sounds really blah and boring…vocally not strong to ride a beat like that…

There’s officially no hope for R&B

USHER AND MARIAH’s cd are good, if you don’t belive it, listen to Usher croon on Loving You Gently and Echo, he sings his face off, Mariah’s I Stay in Love, Thanks for Nothing,,,,just incredible songs…but MS. BENNY MEDINA IS HORRIBLE AT PROMOTING BOTH CD’S….he supports releasing 2 HORRIBLE SECOND SINGLES FOR BOTH ARTIST….moving mountains for usher and bye bye for Mariah……2 depressing ass singles in the Middle of summer….Release Uptempo joints, summer is the time to party. Bennie is HORRIBLE. Horrible…both videos are horrible also, it’s a Manger’s duty to make sure you KEEP HITTING the public with banging looks, banging videos, and Great songs…..Usher’s 2nd single should have been Echo (a man’s anthem about hating ass man-stealing sista’s) and mariah’s I Stay in Love…goes where We Belong Together Should have…..how do u sleep on Major hits????? You focus on wardrobe and make-up and not Music

Usher cd is very slept on I am mad Moving Mountains isn’t as big as it should be His Mistakes shouldn’t be a single maybe Appetite would have been a better choice.

I am not a fan on the dolls

Karina P I am buying that cd

Ja Rule I see he went back to rhyming to the ladies

22.

Thursday, July 24, 2008 /

PCD: I like the remix, except for Diddy’s part. It annoyed me.

Usher: This song is beautifully arranged. I’m feeling it! I like this a whole lot better than Moving Mountains, which seemed too long and dramatic. I think this is a nice choice for a single, but I also think for some reason people will sleep on this.

Karina: Not bad. This sounds like a song Keri Hilson would do. She rides the song well. I hear the same drum pattern from J. Holiday’s song, but anyway it’s alright for the most part.

Ja Rule-He’s trying, I’ll give him that. This track is ok, but it won’t help push him back to the fore front where he once was. This is an album filler track. Not single worthy.

the only songs i like is usher’s mistakes and karina’s winner.she is like a little alicia keys to me(smile) very talented
darkchild is the man and the beat is hot i will give him that especially with lil wayne on it but the pussycat dolls are so wack to me
jarule needs to give it up and i love me some robin thicke but i ain’t feeling the song.

“His Mistakes” is actually my favorite track off Usher’s album…Honestly tho, I think that the album should’ve been released in September because his album is not a “Summer” album..there aren’t really any dance friendly songs and people don’t wanna hear alot of mid-tempo or slow songs…Usher’s album is more a fall/winter album when people are chillin and not really that busy…Moving Mountains would’ve been a big hit but again…its not a summer friendly song…His Mistakes may do a lil better..but its not likely because people have lost interest in his album…its sad that his album STILL hasnt reached platinum status.

Damn this is one of the songs on Ushers cd I skip everytime. Its so wack but I guess it has more appeal to a pop audience.

I love this Karina chick.

I’ve already heard the Ja Rule song.

I’m sure this Usher song is called “I Can’t Win” or something like that or maybe that’s just what Ares says. I like it tho. I’ve been bumpin it for a lil min now.

I am soooOoOOOOoooOoooo SORRY, BUT U GUYS WHO WILL NOT GIVE USHERS ALBUM A CHANCE- R MISSING OUT, this is A TRUE R&B CD-PERIOD!!! Its sad, tht u guys cnt be happy 4 a man who is CLEARLY IN LOVE (if u listen 2 the cd) I MEAN, from start-finish, IT IS A CLASSIC R&B RECORD-SOLID-PERIOD!!!! USHER opped Confessions, they r totally dfrnt styles & people jst wna see him dance, LET THIM SHOW HIS LYRIC/VOCAL side people !!!!! geeeeezzzz….

I like Ja Rule a lot & thts y 50 cent career is over, he played this guy, & people sooo dumb & just follow others, they all fall down when theres no realness behind it…Ja Rule was king of singles @ 1point, so I dnt knw y people hate on him..hes very talented!! …

PCD-nice….they need 2 let other girls sing lead tho, NICOLE could NOT do it alone, she obviously needs the dolls, so USE THEM!!!!!!!

the other girl is cute & its jst sadd, b/c people now-a-days dnt get love they deserve (real live talent people) O WELL, i support it, BUT im 1 person…

Usher’s CD does not have the theme his last cd had, and mimi’s cd is a copy of the other one, Pussy Cat Dolls are corny.

Usher’s echo is a hot NON-CD cut and mariah’s joint is crazy Thank for Nothin is just crazy.

RECORD LABELS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT’S HOT

I luv how some one Put Mariah in the equation and this tread has nothing to do about her, however I must chime in and say her album is solid and “Thanks for nothin” is the **it.
Usher Cd is seed! (not great) so thats it
Like the arrangment of Karina’s song but i dont know but ya’ll but I felt if someone else sung that it would reach number one think Leona Lewis, Mariah Christina Aguilera etc.
Question some one said R& B is dying. Im starting to get concerned . Why are they giving away record deals to people with WEAK voices. I have a long list of fok that really are not vocalists and there not dancers so what are they? Can some one in please help!!

I ALSO AGREE WITH YOU, USHER’S CD IS UNEVEN, BORING. NOT GOOD.

i knew that usher’s album would not be well liked by many people because Confessions is a classic,dont know anybody who didnt like that album….Here I Stand is really not that bad,its just not the type of cd i can listen to w/o skipping songs…and His Mistake is definately one of those songs i skip,it doesnt even seem single worthy…Trading Places or Best Thing would be better especially since Jay-Z is on Best Thing….bad move on usher’s people part

i cant listen to Pussycat Dolls not even w/wayne on the track..sorry.

i still love me some ja rule…love love love!i didnt like Pushin It when i first heard it but its growin on me…its sad that his “supposed” fans dropped him the minute 50 cent USED HIM TO GET ATTENTION…..now 50 is doing exactly what he bashed Ja for… lmao..stupid

HMMMMM……Stop it. “When I Grow Up” remix is awful. The original version is way better than this one. Also that is a gay club music. Let the KIDS have it baby. Those featured artists who was on this remix was cutting up in the club with the original version so they tried to change it a little…stop it….Usher just need to take a break again. His album sucks! i wasted my damn money on that cd. Ja Rule this is your opportunity to shine and make a good comeback. 50 is about to go downhill real soon. Karina…I don’t know you….who are you?

”Pushin It” is ok I guess, But I dnt see him making a comeback…. I like everything else but Usher really should have had Echo on the cd/release Love you gently, Best thing or Appetite as a single instead…’His mistakes’ will definitely be slept on!

I wish Usher would release “What’s Your Name” or “Trading Places” (maybe) for the third single. I love “Moving Mountains” and I’m kinda disappointed that it’s not doing as well as his past singles.

P.S. I love the Karina joint. I just love her voice and I can’t wait to cop the album!

49.

tia

Thursday, July 24, 2008 /

ummm when i grow up remix???? its an ok song but ummm it aint all that to be adding people to it

usher…………ok,i dont have the album,and i dont want it sooo i guess i dont care,more power to him because anything he puts out will be new to me lol

i like the young ladies song…”winner” she has a very mature voice (like tiffany evans who just dont get no love but should) and she does know how to control her vocals well

i just rolled my eyes when i saw ja rules cut up there….i mean i liked his lil song “my body” it was a solid cut,it just that wasnt nobody checkin for him and unfortunatley fif killed his career,but hey at least fifs own career is fallin off so i guess what goes around comes around huh?

wooooooooooooooooooooooooow to the person that said robin thicke can’t sing….omg i have never heard that before….just crazy..maybe on that song he aint all that but his album was crazy he CAN sing…oh wee i just had to comment on that.

52.

Thursday, July 24, 2008 /

At this point, Usher needs to release an upbeat joint like “What’s your Name” I love the beat to that song. I don’t like “His Mistakes”… That song just draga and it’s depressing LOL. If he was going to release another slow joint, then why not release “Trading Places”…. now that is a song he got some great feedback on. That’s my jam! Usher and Usher team, label or whatever are doing things backwards! smh

That PCD remix was too much. Not feeling that at all. There was no “smoothness” to it.

I was really disappointed in Usher’s album, being a fan I went and brought his album and after listening to the whole album once I have never listened to it for a second time. Til this day I only bump the same 3 tunes (Love in the Club Part 1 and 2 and Moving Mountains). I hope he comes harder next time…not feeling His Mistakes either, maybe a video will change my mind.

Karina…this is the best song feat on her, sounds cool.

Surprisingly not feeling this Ja track either. I think if he wants a good comeback he needs to bring back his old style. I remember in high school everyone loved him cos of his sexy voice, I wanna hear him rappin with that sexiness in his voice. C’mon Ja, bring that back!

I think His mistakes is a good song, not bad for a single, but I’m not sure wat is going on with his publicity. It’s true dat Love in dis club was misleading. I was thinkin d song was about his player player game style, but Usher stated it was about how he met his wife. Well, i think His Mistakes is good for a single? Or maybe i need to listen to the cd again. Oh yeah, Here I Stand should be a single, it is the same title as the album, duh!

@26 STLCHICK

I thought Usher’s song was called “I Can’t Win” too! I don’t have his album but I’ve been listening to that for a while now.

“Trading Places” should’ve been the 2nd single, it would’ve made way more sense than “Moving Mountains”.
