♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

♫ T.I. feat. Rihanna – Live Your Life (full) – listen
T.I.’s Paper Chase hasn’t even dropped yet and I’ve lost track of all the tracks that have dropped. Although, I do remember hearing that T.I.’s new single was to feature no one else but Little Miss Sunshine, Rihanna. They are supposedly performing this song at this year’s MTV VMA’s. This wasn’t really what I was expecting from this track. Hopefully, it’ll grow on me.

♫ Brandy – Porcelain Doll (full) – listen
So far, I really am digging everything that I’ve heard from Brandy’s upcoming album, Human. With all the new material that’s leaking, the track is turning out to be a pretty solid effort. “Porcelain Doll” is a really cool midtempo track. Not going to make any promises or predictions with the production credits, because at this point, it could be anybody.

♫ Christina Milian – One Kiss (full) – listen
Here’s new music from Christina Milian, who is currently working on a new album, a follow up to her last solo set, So Amazin’, which wasn’t really that spectacular of an album. “One Kiss” was produced by Midi Mafia, and it looks as though Milian is setting out for a more pop sound, considering the dance direction of this new song.

♫ John Legend – If You’re Out There (full) – listen
Although John Legend just released the video for his first single, the Andre 3000-assisted “Green Light,” he has already put out his second single, “If You’re Out There,” from his third studio album, Evolver. There is something about this song that I absolutely love, and I’ve never really even been a John Legend fan. The song has a very worldly, international feel.

    go brandy
    I am so excited about her new material. As for the TI track I dunno

  2. Toons

    Love Porcelain Doll, downloaded it last night and have been listening to it all day. Great lyrics and production.

  3. Poetic blue

    Christina Milian kinda sound like Mya on that track.

  4. Wayne-Lyvedotcom

    This John Legend track reminds me so much of Phil Collins. Love the song, and how appropriate…He sang it at the DNC(Democratic National Convention) . This is a unity song, something that my culture, country and world needs and deserves. Good LucK John on your international/edorsement success.

  5. Maitai

    I really like the lyrics on the T.I. song…haven’t had a chance to check the other ones out…

  6. Mr. Hilson

    Love the rihanna and TI. Should be hot. The chorus reminds of disdurbia. Hey…..HOW COME YOU GUYS HAVENT POSTED THE ARTICLE ON RIHANNA: GOOD GIRL GONE BROKE? lol

    Xtina track sounds like something from disney. I think im over her. I really was rootin for her.

    Brandy’s track is just a album filler, doesnt do nothing for me. However, Departed is embedded in my brains. Cant get over it

  7. Dame(The real singers are back)

    I know T.I. is pissed at all his music being leaked but I will buy the cd if I like the songs but this song is not good. I am still loving Swag Like Us that is my theme song for the rest of the year now. If I only figure out to take Weezy part off.

    Brandy I am excited about her comeback as well I am a huge fan I will be buying her cd too. Although I am a fan I wish her vocals were different she always sounds the same.

    I am scared to listen to John track because Green Light is one of my favorites songs right now….

  8. H-Town Chic***

    I just Love John Legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  9. Anon

    Brian..I’m really starting to question your musical taste…

  10. Anon

    ..dont get me wrong ‘do you’ but I just can’t trust your comments..Its all love though!!

  11. Im diggin the T.I. and Rihanna track

  12. angelita

    Brandy RULES!!! Love her!

  13. *Sigh*

    I’m definitely feelin T.I’s track w/ Rihanna…she should definitely stick to her caribbean roots..her voice sounds real nice on this record.

    Brandy..it’s okay..I still don’t know if I’ll be couping the album…haven’t heard anything that’s really blown me away..but then again I’m apparently NOT her target audience..so..whateva

    Christina, Christina, Christina…this chile needs a hit…and this song ain’t it! I feel so bad for her..she hasn’t had a hit since “Dip it Low” and that was by luck! :)

    I hate John Legend’s voice..there’s something very disburbing about hus vocals…i can’t put my finger on it..the song is so typical..some “we are the world” bullshyt that’s been done a thousands times…—–>>>>>>NEXT

  14. yours

    That TI track is staright firree l was bumpin it after the first five seconds passed cause l was almost goin to click stop

  15. UNIQUE

    dont need to listen to brandy to know that it hott

  16. STLCHICK

    Did anybody else recognize the beginning sample of that T.I. song from that youtube video that got all those hits? It was this fat white dude lip syncing to some annoying song lol. That simple caught me off guard but T.I. is the hottest out right now. Lil Wanye is messed up in the head and he spends most of his time ramblin bout stuff that makes no sense *See A Milli or Swagga Like Us* Kanye has hot moments but that T-Pain voice thing has got to stop *See Swagga Like Us or Put On* T.I. is the truth. Rihanna sounds good on this song. This track caters to her voice and I liked it.

  17. Gbrian

    I love the Brandy song BUT that will not be on her highly anticipated “Human” album in stores Nov 11th lol great song tho

  18. jjj

    I love the TI and Rihanna song… it is fire! TI and Rihanna did a good job.

  19. Live Your Life is a dope track but Rihanna’s voice is still SO DAMN ANNOYING TO ME!! She sounds like she is whining, while someone is choking her to death. I’m sorry, I can’t take it….LOVE T.I. I’m def getting his album.

  20. Although she did sound better tha usual..I must admit.

  21. NUDARKAQUA

    I F*CKIN LOVE PORCELAIN DOLL…QUICKLY DOWNLOADED THAT BEFORE THE POWERS THAT BE SHUT IT DOWN…BEEN LISTENING TO IT ALL DAMN DAY…REALLY!!!

    BRANDY BOUT TO TAKE OVER THE GAME AGAIN…YEAH I SAID IT!!!(AND I’M NOT EVEN A BROCKA STAN)

  22. Im feelin the T.I & Rihanna track, her voice really fits the song; nice collab

    Porcelain doll is nice but I’m not crazy about any of the new material so far

    Not feelin Christina Milian

    Dnt really like John Legend but I love ‘Green Light’

  23. T

    The Tip and Rihanna song is HOT!!!!

  24. Kelvin

    i cant get into that john legend song. its sounds like the soundtrack to the lion king.

  25. @24, Kelvin,

    Yes the fuck it does!! And Tarzan!! I can just picture the lions prancing through the meadow in slow mo’. . lol. .

  26. Poetic blue

    Yeah Rihanna definaltley needs to stick with her carribean roots.. nothin to hate about her with that song.. good job to her..

  27. XANA

    RIHANNA AND TI IS HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!! U GO GIRL

  28. chika

    STLCHICK – you’re right that’s a song of a Moldavian group, I wonder if they just stole the song just like Rihanna with that sample that MJ used before.

  29. Greg_Arious

    That Christina Milian song sounds like some Miley Cyrus bullshit.

  30. MeToo

    christina m does not sound like MYA are you serious mya can sing! christina can not, she just copys mya

  31. I LOVE JOHN LEGEND!

    I haven’t heard John Legend’s new song, but I just love him sooo much. I wish he liked black girls…..

  32. TRILLA.

    BRANDY IS SLAYING THESE R&B HOES.
    PORCELAIN DOLL…WHO WOULD EVER THINK ABOUT THAT?
    LISTEN TO WHAT SHES SAYING.
    BRANDY IS INCREDIBLE!

  33. Ummm

    My Brandy is the best & it sounds like a Timbaland production Brian. I can kinda hear him in that backgorund…or atleast it sounds like him

  34. woop ( i hate haters, am I a hater then?...)

    I remember that Moldovian group releasing that song in the UK, everyone was singing it at school- heck even I did. Can’t believe it was a hit here & can’t believe they sampled it. . Either way, it’s a choon, well done T.I. and Rihanna. I may get Paper Trail when it comes out ( Or is it ‘Paper Chase’ )

    err Chika, you don’t steal songs, you sample or cover them with the original artists gettin a big fat slice of the profits. Stealing songs means gettin ur a** sued… duh.

  35. nicole

    damn,christina is killin it am glad she is back.this song can be huge esp on pop radios
    brandy’s track is absolute pants,it left me cold even right here isnt that great..u may think ur listening 2 jlo’s if u had ma love

  36. algie

    brandy is bringing it
    i like the ti track even though rihanna is so overrated

  37. SG3

    1.T.I. feat. Rihanna – Surprisingly this work! Didn’t know what would come of this collabo, or that it would even happen. But the beat goes hard…when the bass line drops and Rihanna goes, “So live your life!” I was like Oh! Good song, message, collabo, good sh*t! And the hook is very fitting for Rihanna, “Ain’t got time for no haters, just living my life!” I like that T.I. is talking about other things outside of the “Trap.” Listen carefully, dude it spittin’ some knowledge (not discrediting anything he’s done or haven’t done in the past).

    2.Brandy – Nice mid tempo track. Brandy’s coming with that heat. Definitely a fresh take on the whole, “I ain’t taking it no more, I’m leaving you,” song topic. Very creative, “looking like a porcelain doll, no expression at all…” I really like that. Not sure who did this track, but I’m definitely glad her and Rodney Jerkins is back together, he’s her Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis and she’s he’s Janet. Work so well together. They both are responsible for each other’s success musically, IMO. ‘Human’ just might be what ‘Never Say Never’ was 10 years back. Looking forward to the album.

    By the way check out her rumored 2nd single, “First and Love,” definitely a banger. It’s at http://www.rnbmusicblog.com

    3.Christina Milian – Not a bad at all. I’m pretty sure this isn’t her single, (I hope) because I not sure if it would get the attention of the masses, but definitely a dance hit. I wonder who’s involved in her project outside of Midi Mafia. I hope this time around she takes a chance and explore with different sounds and styles (it seems as if she will with this track). I really think once she finds her comfort zone, this girl would be force to reckon with it. She has a good voice and the look, she just needs a style and sound that sets her apart. I wish her the best.

    I definitely know this girl can bring some heat, see “Twisted,” “Gonna Tell Everybody” from ‘So Amazin’’ album and “Highway,” from ‘It’s About Time.”

    4.John Legend – This song reminds me of the song “Coming Home,” from his last album ‘Once Again.’ (Although I prefer that over this). I like it and then I don’t, it get’s kind of boring and drawn out. I really like how he stuck to what he knew, but also took a chance with “Green Light,” and Andre 3000. That is definitely going to make its mark in the international market. With that being said, I see why he released both singles at once, as he needed to be sure not to loose his core audience. Adult/Contemporary radio will spin this, especially after it being played at the DNC last night.

  38. Greatestloveofall

    Brandy’s the only one of this list I’m interested in, and WOW this is REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE :D :D Mellow, laid back and subtle.

    Go B Rocka.

  39. Greatestloveofall

    Just listened to that T.I./Rihanna track—DID THEY SAMPLE THAT “NUMA NUMA” SONG THAT WAS ALL OVER YOUTUBE A WHILE AGO??? YOU KNOW THE ONE WITH THAT FAT GUY LIP SYNCHING TO SOME WEIRD ASS RUSSIAN SONG!!! DAMN.

  40. Janet

    Ti- the only good part in the song is Rihanna’s chorus
    Brandy- Love it, I always love any music Brandy comes out cuz she has good ears for music
    Christina Millian- Not feeling this song at all
    John Legend- The song sound good but would be sung better from another artist not him

  41. tia

    John legend song makes me feel good all over for some reason LOL! i really love it,like to death

    sorry i couldnt do christina song,as soon as you said dance track i decided not to listen,but i’m glad she gettin herself back out there!

  42. JB

    Wow! I can’t wait for Bran’s new album!!!!!!!!! 90′s talent is coming back!

  43. Hater-Raid
