♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫
Wednesday, August 27, 2008



♫ Brandy - Throw It All Away (full) - listen
One Brandy song at a time! More material has leaked from her sessions from the new album, Human, which hits stores November 11th. The production on this is quite interesting, but I’m digging the song. Vocally, Brandy just does it for me. From her crazy vocal arrangements, to her absolutely crazy adlibs, I just love Brandy’s vocal delivery to death. She’s teasing me with this leaked material, because I just have a feeling that the album is going to be pure craziness.
♫ LL Cool J feat. 50 Cent - Feel My Heart Beat (full) - listen
I remember a couple of years ago, LL Cool J and 50 were quite chummy at some award show, so I was interested to see whether or not they would cut some songs together. I guess this is the product of that new-found friendship. “Feel My Heart Beat” is neither here nor there for me. It’s a cut from LL Cool J’s last album on Def Jam, entitled Exit 13. His single, “Baby” featuring The Dream has been doing pretty well, getting love in the clubs and on BET’s 106 & Park. I wonder if this is LL’s last album, or will he be seeking a new deal with a new label after this album drops and his contract is up…
♫ T-Pain - Got to Go (full) - listen
T-Pain just released his new video for his first single, “Can’t Believe It,” from his upcoming, highly anticipated new album, Thr33 Ringz. Although I’m not a huge fan of T-Pain, his talent is undeniable. He truly is a master at what he does, no matter how much I think his music starts to sound the same. T-Pain does what he is paid to do: make hits. “Got To Go” is no different. Not a huge fan of the content, but the song is definitely catchy, with those classic T-Pain harmonies.
♫ Usher feat. Will.I.Am - What’s Your Name? (full) - listen
So, I’m about tired of all these changes being made about Usher! Apparently, “What’s Your Name?” has been serviced to pop radio, when we were previously informed that Usher was releasing “Trading Places” and “His Mistakes” to radio. Whatever song they choose to go with, they need to go with something quick, considering that it’s been a while since “Moving Mountains” has gotten a lot of video and radio play. Usher needs to drop a single and video quick if he expects to keep the lukewarm Here I Stand afloat.

I suppose it’s okay to keep posting leaked tracks?

Brandy is quality, All leaking should come after the album is out.

You guys should post the T-Pain song “I Outta Do”, where he clowns all the rappers using auto-tune and starts rapping like them. That shit is hilarious

I’m not really feeling Brandy’s new material. It all sounds the same. Nothing stands out to me. And I usually love me some Brandy.
Didn’t even listen to LL cause I haven’t liked his rappin in a minute.
T-Pain—UGH!
This Usher song is beyond wack.

# 4, You do realize that most of the marketing teams leak tracks on PURPOSE to spark a buzz, right? I wouldn’t be surprised if Brandy’s label didn’t send this to Brian personally.

I love I love I love I love I love that LL ft, 50 cent it’s off the chain I didn’t listen to that other mess but that song is tight i’m feeling it it’s great. it’s just that 50 should have had a verse he only had a chrous and that was not enough my baby should have had a whole verse and then the song is too short but on top of that it’s good it’s just that 50 should have had a verse

Talking abot Auto Tune. Im starting to think that people a while ago weren dissing cassie saying she couldnt Sing (story of her life lol). Matter fact she has her own distinct voice.music has no limits and boundries.Ahem.why is ok for t pain to sing with a vocoder and cassie gets the slack for her her voice being medicore.however its unique in its own way.its not being being about the best singer,theirs loads of them its aboutt having the X factor.lol. i knowcorny but it takes two tango. so if t pain good on the rapping side,why try being a phoney singer. i guess guys can be schovinist.

i like this brandy track…kinda has an early 90s feel to it. but i’m guessing that it’s not going to be on the album–for some reason, it doesn’t sound finished or mixed. it’s probably a leftover.

none of these songs are great. t-pain is gonna chart regardless. brandy is on her way to another bonafide flop. i remember when she used to sing. now all she does is harmonizes. lls album is probably gonna be his best in years. i’m glad he got off of that bullshit. usher is done. finito. i don’t care how he re-invents himself, he’s a wrap.

Luke warm to describe Ushers album was real generous. It is the most overrated disappointment in a while, i think that every unreleased track i’ve heard is better than a song on the album. I think he needs to scrap it and start again.

Yall need to STFU with Usher no his album didn’t do as good but it still was a HIT and he made a lot of money out of it more than you people make in a freaking year..
Than he got what he always wanting and that was a beautiful family which he got and that’s the only thing that matter.

Brandy fans Brandy debuted @ #56 for Right Here (Departed) on Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop Airplay and was @ #70 last week.
Monica debuted @75 for Still Standing feat. Ludacris this week on Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop Airplay and was 78 last week.
I rest my case even though I love Monica as well Brandy will always be my favorite artist and Brandy and her label know what they are doing to draw Brandy’s mainstream crown again with a pop single.

We all know Cassie can’t sing, however they do produce songs for her that she is able to ride. You cannot deny that fact that she sounds hot on “Addiction”. And btw Im not a Cassie stan, I just like music.
The Brandy song is nice. A mellow song with a catchy chorus. My favorite its still Porcelain Doll. The lyrics in that song are so sick.
Not feeling the T-Pain or the LL. Usher needs to give it a rest. The album was garbage and there is no reviving it. This song is garbage as well. Im glad I didnt waist my money on it. I didn’t even use any of my gigs on my iPod to download that cd. Whats really good Ursh? Confessions was a masterpiece.
53.
what you know about that
Thursday, August 28, 2008 /
I like the Brandy song but Porcelain Doll is simply beautiful! Her vocals are unlike any other chick in the game….she’s simply amazing. But I find that there are so many people that just don’t get her. Her music is the type that you really have to study to get the full effect….bump that shit in your car or on your iPod with ear plugs to hear those gorgeous harmonies. Lots of people with musical talent get it but if you don’t have the ear for music I’m not surprised that you don’t understand her abilities. That lower register of hers….man I can go on and on!

“What’s Your Name” is a much better choice for a single. It should definitely push some more units for him, which we all know he needs. Now that mama’s back on board, maybe things will be done the right way. I used to Stan for Ursh, hard body, but here laltely, he just hasnt been doing it.

The Brandy track is actually good.
T.Pain never lets you down, no matter how much you try to hate him. (Wait, did he say “you will fall like a white b*tch?”…oh my)
Usher’s album as a whole was just ok. No matter how many tracks they send to radio it won’t help. All of them are ok tracks, nothing major.

Yes Brandy will always and has alwyas sold more than Monica peep Wikpedia on album sales for both! never say Never 21 million thats says enough right there! Monica will never outsell Brandy beacuse she dosen’t appeal to that many demographics like Bran she will always be number 2 sorry!!!!

@ 62. D-Bates
I couldn’t agree more but lets not rule Monica out though I like it too but she just has not nor ever sold more than Brandy at all. Brandy has more and has always been more mainstream/pop appeal with her audience and her music than Monica even proven with her music/singles. You have white, black, German, etc people that I heard in an interview saying that they love Brandy. Monica is more popular as far as urban mainstream and the little pop audience only remembers her with Brandy.

@ Brown and Lovely
The Brandy song Departed wasn’t released to US radio according to Billboard until August 26th. It was already in rotation before it was actually released and when it was released this week it already peaked at 56 on Hot R&B/Hip Hop Airplay so what does that tell you it was already getting played before it was even released and Brown and Lovely she was #1 for the most adds for those who don’t know what that means it means that her song was distributed to the most radio stations and airplay, Monica’s wasn’t at all. I am truly a Brandy fan and I love Monica and in all honestly hope both of them do well especially Brandy which I know she will. But please don’t make it seem like Monica is ahead of Brandy cause she is not.

@ Dame
No one knows what kind of feel Brandy and her team was trying to go for at all I see. Brandy stated that with this album she was trying to go for a more international pop album with a little bit of the old Brandy and a little country. Brandy is doing that mainstream sound to put her back on the map and to be honest regardless how much some people don’t like it, it is getting heavy rotating and already raising on the charts. Monica single I do like but it’s like but it’s like that sound has already been done before, no one can compare them not even me. They both have their own style and sounds, Brandy is more mainstream/pop and alternative, Monica is more hip hop/R&B but the thing is Brandy has a more mainstream audience with her music. Brandy before her single was released to radio this pass Tuesday it was number 70 on R&B Airplay then when it was released after Tuesday it has now jumped to number 56 on R&B Airplay according to Billboard.com. Monica single Still Standing last week was number 78 on R&B Airplay and after this Tuesday has went to number 75.
