♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

Thursday, August 14, 2008

Tweet - Hey Baby (full) - REMOVED
Check out this new song from Tweet. I absolutely love, love, love Tweet. Ever since her debut album, Southern Hummingbird, I have been hooked. Her third album, Love, Tweet is supposed to be coming out this year, and I absolutely loved her first single, “Anymore.” A lot of snippets leaked from the album, but “Hey Baby” is definitely different from everything from the new material that we’ve gotten a hold of. I’m hoping to hear more from her soon.

Update: “Hey Baby” is not actually Tweet. More updates later.

♫ Bobby Valentino feat. Yung Joc - Beep Beep (full) - listen
We recently reported the Bobby Valentino has inked a new deal after his recent split with Disturbing Tha Peace/Def Jam. Here’s new material from him, featuring fellow Atlanta native Yung Joc. Although Bobby’s last album, Special Occasion had a couple of jems on it, I don’t know if I’m loving this new song from him. No word on whether or not this is the first single, we’ll see. More updates on Bobby as information comes out.

♫ Johnta Austin - I Need A Girl (full) - listen
It’s good to see that Johnta Austin is still trying. The Stargate-produced “I Need A Girl” is a good song with good potential, but then again, so have Johnta’s other efforts for singles. His album, Ocean Drive was supposed to drop many moons ago, but I’m sure he’s not tripping, because he’s been collecting those residual writing checks from songs that he’s penned for so many R&B acts out these days. Hopefully, his album will drop sometime.

♫ Cassie feat. The Dream - Nobody But You (full) - listen
Seems as though Cassie really is branching out with producers this time around. Looks like she’s enlisted The Dream on her project, which was recently pushed back to release in early ‘09. No production helps to prove upon Cassie’s voice, but she always delivers you the best productions. But with all the material that’s leaking from the album, will she have anything new for us to hear when the album drops? It’s no “Umbrella,” but whatever.

AM I FIRST??? :D:D:D New relaesed songs of Cassie always seems interesting because of her sweet girly voice. I’m not feeling it right now but that will probably change..which usually does happen to me. Still digging Thirsty of Cassie. Other artist i don’t bother to listen. :$ XXX bye bye

OMG!!!! Now Tweet is sensational!!!! Do ya’ll hear this mellow old school vibe? I hear Dianna Ross, Al Green, and Marvin Gaye inspirations in this one. It can almost be rewound to be in a soundtrack to like Crooklyn, Lady Sings the Blues, Inkwell, Mahogany etc….all the old school movie genres. The instrumentals and her voice are absolutely amazing! This song sells the whole album for me! Dayum!

BEAUTY Q.T.

Thursday, August 14, 2008 /

Tweet - This song is hot! I dig it!

Bobby - This song it hot! Boby and Jock? Can you say tag-team???

Johnta Austin - Who’s that?? Well, this song is hot too!

Cassie - I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I like it! It actually sounds like a song that Ciara should be singin. The only reason I can listen to the song is because The Dream’s in it, and the beat is hot.

Nice post!

The Tweet song is fire, but at the same time I’m tired of artists hoppin on the old school vibe bandwagon.

Everything else was blah. Johnta I was hoping would be hot, but it turned into background music after the first 15 seconds. Boooo.

Uh after I heard “My House” by Cassie I immediately went for “Nobody But You” first…now….who the HELL signs off on these beats for Cassie??? THEY ARE ALWAYS FIRE!!! I haven’t heard a song she’s been on that didn’t have a hot ass beat…..anywhoo….it’s ok too…I’m definately feeling the “Freak Me Slow” My House better but this is aight too….

NOW ON TO TWEET!!!

YEEEEEES!!!!!!!! This shiiiiiiiiit is haaaaaaawt!!!! I fuuuuugin love Tweet with a passion. Her damn voice is too beautiful and this easy listening elevator music beat is amazing intertwined with her voice (I’m an old school R&B head) this sounds something Angela Boffil would do or Minnie Rippington…beautiful! Love it! Moving On!

Bobby Valentino!!! Uuuhhhhhhhh……he quoted “Sexy Can I”….wtf?

Johnta Austin…..DAMN THESE ACOUSTIC BEATS!!!!! It’s aight I’m trippin…I’m glad they added that lil indian guitar thing in their because it breaks up the monotony….and he can actually sing unlike some of these Producer/Writer/Singer hybrids (*ehemseangarrettcough*) LOL

I’m out!!!

I guess I was a little bored. I went back and listened…Bobby V and Joc was “aight”. The beat was the best thing…it was kind of thumping. He wasn’t talking bout nothing doe! Beep beep beep…jeep jeep jeep. To old for nursery rhymes nye! And you see how everybody trying to do the TPain/Akon/Dream robotic voice all the time now. That only works for them…and it’s starting to play out for them too.

And I accidentally caught myself bumping to Cassie’s beat. Certainly not for her vpoice, but because of the Dream production. Certainly would not buy this crap. Then again, I am probably not giving her a fair chance because I cut that mess of after about 11.675 seconds. LOL!

Cassie is a joke.. she needs to get real with that song… plus the beginning sounds like its already been used before… can’t remember the song but i’ve heard that beginning before..

I WAS LITERALLY DISGUSTED LISTENING TO BOBBYS WACK, CHILDISH SONG AND VOICE! YUCK! NEXT! I CLUTCHED MY PEARLS AT WORK!

TWEETS SONG SOUNDS LIKE A PRACTICE REHEARSAL AND DID NOT MEAN TO GET LEAKED….

JOHNTA SOUNDS LIKE HE WROTE THAT ONE IN HIS BASEMENT, AND ALSO - DID NOT MEAN TO GET LEAKED

I COULDNT EVEN PRETEND TO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE CASSIE SONG, IT WAS AWFUL!

AND IM USUALLY A POSITIVE PERSON BUT I MUST SAY ALL THESE SONGS WERE WACK, AND I LOVE TWEET!!! AND BRANDYS SONG WASNT CUTE EITHER - TOO MAINSTREAM AND NOT THAT CATCHY…

*Not Hate, this is called constructive criticism (before some jump to it)

Tweet - Different, cool, relaxing, I guess, I kept asking “tweet?, huh?”

Bobby V - Has not learned anything from his departure from DTP obviously, every song has their place, but this shows why he is still “underrated” as he and his fans put it. In this day and age BobbyV, you need to come harder and grow, because this “sound”,”temp”,and”line-up” has been clogging the airwaves for the last 4 years. You don’t have to go left, but go “better”…

Jonta - Its not your fault Jonta, or maybe it is (being that you picked it), the acoustic stumming is nice (sounds good), but damn a fake Guchin in the begining and the chorus, and the neyo’ish pre-chorus. And I am getting tired of Stargate’s overused drum kit and pattern. Will it work? - maybe. Jonta personally doesn’t seem to sing his own music that well - compared to those he writes for, it just isn’t convincing when he sings it (think “Turn the Music Up”).

Cassie/Dream - No. Cassie, she doesn’t need to belt out songs at the top of her lungs, but her vocals always sound extremely “weak” & “thin” like she’s still struggling after all the reported training. Maybe the 500.00 she spends on her outfits could be better used on vocal training, she could sound great, but there are obviously breathing techniques she is missing (you can hear it in the amount of overdubs there are), and head vs. throat vs. diaphram control (no perv LOL). But, the chord progression, synth arpeggio, tempo of this song is - 2006/2007, 2008 is about to close so… step up. “Boo” is an old word, should not be used in such a corney fashion - and if Dream wrote this, I’m disappointed.

cassies song sounds like a bad version of omarions ice box does anyone know who produced it –i know dream wrote it but sounds like timbo produced it and shes not riding the beat she sounds scared singing on the record does anyone agree here or what??? no personality she should just stick to being arm candy for diddy or his puppy

I talk, You listen

Thursday, August 14, 2008 /

When is this chick TwEET coming out now, this shit ain’t funny!!!! I am not playing with her label, I am ready to buy that CD!!!

same thing with Brandy and yes…CAssie!!!

Johnte’ umm I like him and his music, he just isn’t star material. but i believe every songwriter should be able to have an outlet for their ideas and artistry. i’ll support his CD, if it ever drops.

hate Bobby V, sorry give it up dawg. He would better in a group, but so would some many singers….Trey SOngz, Sterling Sims, Ray J, Omarion, Nicole Schiz-whatever, Nivea, Mya etc it is so many artists that I like but they just can’t carry an album worth of material and wouldn’t be worth purchasing. I think some of them should link up and create a group like LSG…

any thoughts people pn who you would like to create a group?

I personally think Mya, Christina Millian and Cassie should be a group. call them selves Eye candy….

hhmmm i think this would be a good blog topic CL

25.

Cutie

Thursday, August 14, 2008 /

you talked, i listened…and it was heard. Great idea and great group matchup. Would make them way more interesting. One half white/black chick, one puerto rican chick, and one half black/half asian chick. Call them eye candy or call it a deportation nightmare! LMAO!

Thursday, August 14, 2008 /

I love Cassies song! I can’t wait for the album; I hate that it keeps getting pushed back. I’ve always liked her soft voice, i just hoped its improved performance wise!

I have never posted a comment before but I just want to say that the new Tweet song is wonderful. I just wish young people could appreciate real music and talent because EVERYONE is sleeping on Tweet. She should be much more successful than what she is. I can’t wait for the new CD! #1 FAN!

The cassie song isnt that bad, and im not usually a fan of her. I love brandy but I unfortunately havent heard anything from her that i like, maybe it needs to grow on me. Not a Bobby V fan anymore since I feel like all his songs sound alike.And I use to like Tweet but I’m not feeling that song either

41.

Vonnie

Thursday, August 14, 2008 /

@ 21 : Yup, I was trying to put my finger on the beat. Whoever produced took the beat straight from the chorus of ice box. Sounds like a justin timberlake beat too. But yea, Exactly what i was thinking

Bobby Valentino’s song… WTF is that??? LOL @ that song! It has that young teeny bopper sexy can I vibe going on. It sounds a mess and Bobby Valentino has too nice of a voice to be singing like this.

Tweet’s song is okay. It’s beautiful at some parts but it needs to be altered alot. It sounds like something from the 70’s. It sounds like the type of music Solange is doing right now. Tweet does have a beautiful voice though. Missy f*cked her over. It’s a shame.

Cassie… not another track??? I would say that she’s wasting money on recording all these tracks, but you know Diddy is taking care of that. This girl gets so much studio time and never delivers. Her voice is too childish, high, airy, and weak. The beats aint even hot. She has the type of beats that when people hear in the beginning, they think it’s hot, but then after a few listen you get tired of it. Cassie just go away! Whoever says she doesn’t have to blow like Whitney or Mariah, neither does Keyshia Cole but she sounds just fine.

Johnta Austin i’m not feeling the song…

Cassie I wish she would retire…..

Cassie needs to leave the singing to the singers and she is not one of them… A couple people on Bad boy had some comments to make about her and her talents and lets just say, it wasn’t postive feed back.

I also read some topics about this on the free interracial dating club ~~###~~I n t i m a t e M i n g l e …COM ~~###~~ where 18+ singles of different races & colors talk about their favorite issues and make interracial friends. Lots of hot & sexy guys & girls can be found there.

Tweet: The song is ok I always like her old school vibe.

Bobby V: He is just boring! I think he is frustrated with the industry now and just wants to attention any way he can get it, because although he bores me I have heard better from him.

Johnta: I am tired of that beat.

Cassie: I know she has no talent, but neither do half these chicks with deals and songs on the radio. I simply wont waste money buying her album. The Dream is annoying!

Tweet: I like it a lot. It’s sounds a bit unfinished, but it’s still hot. She has done the vintage sound since she debuted and I think she’s one of the few artists out here that can pull it off without it sounding gimmicky. I’m glad to hear her album hasn’t been released yet. I thought her 3rd album was already out since I saw an album review of it in Vibe a while ago. Hopefully she’ll get some decent promo in before it officially releases.

Bobby V.-It’s lame. It has some potential. There was some part in the middle where it was getting kinda hot, but then that annoying beep beep part came in. I understand it’s supposed to be a fun party song, but the lyrics need an upgrade.

Johnta: It’s aight. That’s all I really have to say about it. I’m not really familiar with his solo work.

Cassie- I listened to the entire song and I have yet to see where she claim she has improved. She still sings with little effort. She’s still reciting and breathing out the words more rather than singing them in tune. also, The Dream needs to upgrade his songwriting skills. The “eh’s” and repeating the same words over again has been played out. I just realized he’s like the Mike Jones of R&B. lol Which is wack.

I love Tweet’s song and for the people who dont like it because of the 70’s vibe. Come on!!!! The hypocrisy on this message board is astounding, dont a majority of hip hop bite off of old school songs. I’m just saying. Anyway I love this song and I’m happy Brian got to show others how pretty this song is.

Bobby V is trying to sell records so bad that he is willing to make anything

Cassie–I like Cassie actually (yeah I know) but this song sucks donkey d***

I dont know who the other dude is so no go on that listen. l

“hey baby” is a nice song but too slow to be a single, id listen to it on the album though

damn i’ve never seen that much hate on a female, we all no cassie is not the best vocalist but neither is the-dream himself & singers like rihanna,ciara,britney,madonna, janet & miley cyrus etc. but there still on there grind & I respect that, & females should never hate on each other they should support each other at least she’s not on the block selling her body 2 get what she wants, cause she has the body lol & the song is okay but I like the other songs from cassie that has leaked & I think we minds well get use to her cause she’s not going no were for now

According to the numbers most ppl are downloading Cassie’s song out of all the other songs but anyway I agree w/#67 she always have the hottest tracks but her voice just wastes it. I rather hear Danity Kane singing on that track than Cassie though I’m not really a DK fan. The other songs was blahhhhh….

@29–You’re right. Cassie IS talented but her only talent is whatever she’s doing to Diddy on the regular to keep buying her $1k shoes and whatnot and getting her beats (though she might be using her “talent” to get those on her own, ahem). She is a cute, skinny little thing that should try modeling, NOT singing or acting. Just stand there and look cute–like a little puppy. Lol

Bobby V hasn’t really moved me since “Blackberry Molasses” back in the day. Remember Mista? Now, he just makes idiotic lyrics sound even worse with his whiny voice while trying to look all smooth and stuff. Hilarious.

Tweet’s song was removed b/c I guess it wasn’t actually her so I missed whoever it was. Tweet always brings the vocals to the table and I can’t wait for her next real leaked track.

Johnta Austin is aiight.
