♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

♫ Ciara feat. The Dream – Keep Dancing (full) – listen
I was expecting something a little different from a song called “Keep Dancing,” but then again, why? The only thing I’ve really heard from the Ciara project that I’ve liked so far are “High Price” (that took forever to grow on me) and “Echo.” I expected the Ciara’s collaborations with The Dream would be phenomenal, and even though Ciara’s not a stellar vocalist, I don’t even like her delivery on this one. I was behind Ciara full force last time with The Evolution. But I’m not loving anything from this yet…

♫ Estelle feat. Sean Paul – Come Over (Remix) (full) – listen
Check out the new single from British R&B songstress, Estelle. I really love this girl’s voice, it’s like water over the track. I thought that Sean Paul was coming out with a new album as well? I don’t remember, but did he have a single out at one time? I think they sound good together, I like the chemistry. I can’t wait to see what Estelle is going to do with her second US release. She has a good buzz, so she’s gotta keep it coming.

♫ Electrik Red – Drank (full) – listen
Meet the new Def Jam girl group, Electrik Red. Apparently, this group has been one of the industry’s best kept secrets, but honestly, I’m not all that impressed with this new single, “Drank,” produced by The Dream. LA Reid claims that this is the best album he’s heard in a long time, and insiders have told me that the entire album sounds like the female version of The Dream’s Love/Hate. I was so excited about this group, but now I’m just disappointed.

♫ Kanye West – Love Lockdown (full) – listen
Here is the official, mastered version of Kanye’s new single, “Love Lockdown,” from his forthcoming fourth album, 808′s & Heartbreak. For some reaosn, I have a feel that this new album is going to be one of my favorites from him, especially if this is direction that he’s taking. It’s been said that Kanye has said that this is one of his favorite songs to date. I’m excited.

    CIARA – Wtf? I don’t get it? I mean I get it but it sounds foolish..what the hell is the point. And it’s boring as fuck….I ligit fell a sleep on my keyboard drooling away and shiot.

    ESTELLE – I love it so darm much!! Very cute..

    KANYE – He needs to get over his emotions and mood swings and stop acting like a damn fool. Hate the song..sounds cheaply made. The end sounds like Native Americans prancing around a camfire singing “Ho Ka Hey Wah Nah Ho Ka Hey Wah Nah Woh” I first hated the song then liked it now I absolutely hate it again. The song is just wierd point blank….it’s one of those songs that you HAVE to be in a certain mood to like it.

  2. Mixed Chick

    CIARA CAN’T SING SHE NEEDS TO GIVE IT UP AND GO TEACH DANCE SOMEWHERE. I’VE LIKED ESTELLE EVER SINCE I HEARD AMERICAN BOY. THE BRITS ARE BRINGING IT WITH LEONA, AMY, LILY, DUFFY, ADELE.

  3. Brian post Yearbook from Ciara! I know you have it…that’s all I keep hearing about is this song “Yearbook”! I want to hear what all this talk is about for that song

    I’ve been looking out for Electrik Red since their song “Electrik City” came out. That song is HOT. Ya’ll should’ve posted that to give ppl who don’t know them a good taste. Regardless, I can’t wait for them to come out and I’m happy they finally got signed BUT I’m disappointed w/ the song as well. I know they can do better so I’m not worried. Ciara’s song is WACK. Kanye’s remastered version sound better than what I originally heard BUT its still just okay. Like I think w/ his energy, it would be great live (and I’m sure it would sound HOT in the club) but not iPod worthy. Oh and am I the only person who noticed the church claps??? LOL homes sound like he straight off the holy spirit tip!!!! Its okay, Kanye… we know you FEEL this joint! Poor baby….

  5. Kellz

    FINALLY! LOL the Estelle song took forever to download. After listening to it (and seeing others comments on it), I can tell some ppl DO NOT have her album. If you do, you would notice the song is just the original w/ Sean Paul over it. Seriously, the original sounds WAY better just because Sean Paul adds an “extra”-ness NOT needed. F*** the remix… blast the original.

  6. KMONEY

    I’m not a big fan of Ciara but I kinda like tha song. not that bad.
    BIG kanye fan and not liking his new song, but I’ll still BUY his album jus cus I think his lyrics are always on point.
    estelle song is hot
    tha girl group looks bootleg to me, song is garbage

  7. BAM BAM Butterscotch

    Humm I see you all like to kill people Nicaraguan style. So i will make it my point to interfere and let life lessons be learned. First of all, most of these records are leaked, a mere sneak peak into the upcoming projects of various artists allowing the audience to adjust their ears to the inner workings of the new sound. Sometimes these selections are a tease of existing artists, some are new artists finding their niche in the industry.
    Are we not a dynamic group of individuals that make up the Hip-Hop, R&B community? Full of various cultures and lifestyles? Do you not want to hear different voices, opinions and experiences from your artists? Then why is it that you scrutinize individuals when they are trying to tell their story? Instead of making false claims regarding ones character or behavior, give the artist the ability to come full force and preset a complete package for your listening and viewing pleasure. I must ask you, where are your songs? Your stories? Are you sure that anyone besides you really gives a hey? Probably not. So instead of following your dreams as an artist, you chase after the monopolizing few, and ridicule others on a blog site, well… if thats what you want. I am not here to judge, simply to point out your flaws and allow you to correct them on your own. You call yourself a music man? fine. Then make sure after all this talk you are supporting the artists you love. Buy the album, the concert ticket, the tee shirt. Because if you listen for free, steal the music, then honestly your not the person we are catering to. Let their fans be the judge, and you… yes you.. why, you just sit back down at your computer chair, stare out your window, and chat up with your online buddies and hate your life.
    XOXO Gossip Girl.

  9. peaceful1

    I love kanye west. I have all his albums, but no matter how many times I hear this song I still hate it. I only like the LIVE version

  10. FallBackHaters

    I heard Ciara and am not liking it, sounds kinda bland.

    Estelle and Sean da Paul!! I already knew them two on the track would be hot, they both come up with dope tunes. I’m so glad my girl is making waves.

    Kanye is da man!!

  11. Corey

    Ciara stuff id HOT!!! And these all are DEMOS UNFINISHED Stuff…when the final product comes it will be hotter then it is already!!! Stop Hating!!! I love this song its so futurstic and like love in space and Ciara vocals are better and she hits that high note…nothng like any of those ppl you guys are comparing Ciara to LMAO!!! All her songs are hot I love Yearbook and lovers thing the most… but WORK is the ULITMaTE song!!! Lol its house crunk and just good clubbing song!!! Oh Echo is def. a demo nothing near complete and this song and high price and supernatural…every song that leaked except for Go Girl and even that has a def. verison that will be on the album i think. Fantasy Ride will sell CIARA aint worried!!

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

    ESTELLE AND KANYE’S are wicked. Love Estelle , I know she’ll take an award at the Mobo’s next month. CL please try and promote more UK ‘homegrown’ choons

  13. Softest Place On Earth

    Ciara…ehh could have been betta. I’m feelin Lover’s Thing though.

    Estelle song is cool I’m feelin the beat hotness.

    Eletrik Red… ummm boooooooooooooo. Hell no don’t ever hurt my feelins with they music again.

    Kanye West where is the hotness I herad at the vmas? This don’t even sound like the same song.

  14. Greatestloveofall

    LOL, what’s with Brian always using the word “songstress” all the time?

  15. HTownStandUp

    That Estelle was hot and not that she added Sean-a-Paul….it is the best song on that review hands down!!!! Love it…it is like that chick said, a breathe of fresh air.

    Electik – I am just not sure what direction. The rap was weak to me as well…I dunno, they still have time to put some other stuff to help that image they are spittin out. I checked out their myspace and the other song was weak as well.

    The Kanye? I like when he sings but I do not like that song there.

    Cici – love her, but I want her to come HARD for this album. It is number 3!

  16. Uhnonymis

    #75…I know I can’t help but think of New York when she was talking about Krazy’s singing on flavor of love “She is not a songstress!” LOL

  17. Uhnonymis

    sorry i meant 74

  18. Chica

    YOOOOOOOOOO that Estelle remix wit Sean paul is FIYAH!. This is one of my favorite songs off the ‘Shine’ album but Sean Paul brings some great energy to it. Brian – looves u for posting this!

  21. ldsk

    something is wrong you people that ciara joint is beautiful as hell…this is probably ciara’s best song ever…she should have sung it by herself though…I like dream but her voice sounds so clear and melodic I wanted to hear it the whole time

  22. ANGEL

    I LOVE CIARAS SONG HER AND THE DREAM MAKE A GOOD RECORD

    HER NEW CD IS GONNA B THE IISSHHH

  23. OutSpoken

    True what people are saying, although I’m a big Kanye fan, and can’t wait for his new album. This song is really just average… But it seems whatever Ye do, people/stans call it incredible, genius, creative etc.. Damn you people are either really lame or easily pleased.

  24. GOLDEN

    NO to Ciara. Why is she using the T-Pain featuring AGAIN? She is just showing that she can’t sing at all. She’s using it on Go Girl and now this. I will not be picking up this album. The only thing she has shown is that she is a certified back up dancer, not a singer.

  25. lovcici

    need 2 get ciara’s yearbook and lovers thing they are hot and yearbook is touching

  26. Antelope

    What F%##@ is wrong wit u haters!!?? You wouldn’t know a good beat if it hitcha upside tha head! ELECTRIK RED is the Truth!!!!
    Check out these bitches on YOUTUBE page, finally some originality.. they are f%#@ing Fantastic!!
    Whatevah!!

  27. mellowyel

    yeah, estelle would be on her way, if her label didn’t just remove her album from itunes!!! stupid. they’re killing her. she’s amazing, and people need to catch on.

  28. Theworldwillendin2012

    Im so over Ciara. The Elektric Red group sound like 4 Ciara’s came together & they sing-talked thru the whole track with some whack ass harmonizing. Am i the only one who’s not feeling Kanye? I mean seriously? He took drums & tins & started beating them & whining over them, seriously? Arrrrgh.

  29. VirgoDoll

    Music is straight bulls**t! Everything sounds the same and it all sucks! It has no substance what so ever!!

  30. MISIDATCHICK

    THAT ELECTRIK RED IS SOME BULLSHIT! PURE-D-CRAP SOUNDS LIKE DANITY KANE ON CRACK. LYRICAL CONTENT IS WACK, BEAT IS WACK!

    NOW ON TO GREATNESS… LOVE KANYE!

  31. Mario
