♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

Monday, September 15, 2008

♫ Keri Hilson feat. Lil’ Wayne - Turn Off (full) - listen
Rumored to be the second single from Keri’s album, In A Perfect World…, due out October 14th, here’s “Turn Off.” People have been buzzing about this song ever since information about it leaked, but here is the unmastered version of the track. The track was produced by Polow Da Don, with whom Keri is signed via Interscope Records. Even though I like “Turn Off,” I think that Keri should release “Do It” as the next single. I think it has a more radio-friendly appeal.

♫ Tank - I Luv It (full) - listen
R&B crooner Tank is supposedly working on a fourth studio album. He recently had an album listening party here in Atlanta, where listeners got to meet and greet as well as get a taste of what’s going on with Tank’s new project. I really enjoyed Tank’s vocal performance on Sex, Love & Pain so I’m eager to see what choices are made for this new project. “I Luv It” was produced by the Underdogs, with whom Tank has done a lot of work with and for, with his songwriting.

♫ Ginuwine - Good For Nothing (full) - listen
Is Ginuwine due for a comeback? I’ll have to admit, back in the day, I was a huge Ginuwine fan. The Bachelor and 100% Ginuwine were definitely classics for me, and I even bumped his third album, The Life, but I think he lost is touch a little bit with The Senior. Even though it garnered him some hits like, “In Those Jeans,” it just wasn’t a cohesive effort to me. And then the album after that? I don’t even remember buying it. I wish Ginuwine would just get back in the studio with Tim and give me some of that classic chemistry. ‘Cause “Good For Nothing” is just for that… good for nothing.

♫ Ne-Yo - Boyz (Beyonce Demo) (full) - listen
Check out this demo that Ne-Yo did for Beyonce’s new album, “Boyz.” I like the direction of this song, so I’m pretty sure there will be no complaints about the other material that’ll come from B’s project. I wonder whose decision it was to leak this though? Ne-Yo’s album definitely drops on Tuesday, but I doubt this was anything to get any buzz out. I guess we can expect the Beyonce singles to leak sometime soon.

Keri has to cash in on Wayne’s buzz while he’s hot. The other potential single does have more radio appeal tho, but ive seen worse songs get big play so there’s hope for her.

That Keri Hilson song is fire!

I love Tank and Ginuwine.

The track Neyo wrote was hot, I’m just growing tired of every artist going for the retro beats and things. I’m sure Neyo leaked this track so people won’t be mistaken and know he wrote it rather than Beyonce who has already claimed writings for the album.

Music, including these are so boring right now. If you want real music, with real vocals and real emotion and not some Rihanna type image over substance music try

Ginuwines song sounds like a something Tank would sing either way I like both of them as artist…Ginuwine needs to work with Timbaland, Missy, & some other hot producers and writers (alicia keys, neyo, etc)

Keri Hilson- Sounded very annoying to me

Tank- (Side Note) I could have sworn that this song called steal my show was by him but I found out its by some dude named Q Amey. Im telling you the song has TANK written all over it lol,

Ginuwine- Didnt bother to listen

Neyo- its a demo really cant give much comments

umm Neyo owes Prince some money for that song—- and for that matter, Dream owes prince a truck of money, lol

KERI-The song is hot to me…but since its unmastered the song can change drastic so Im not going to comment to much

Neyo-I think the song would be good for Beyonce….

Gin-His song is fire…Been missing in action

Tank-Real Music

Keri sounds like a Rihanna wannabe in this song. She’s all over the place with her music.

28.

Charisma

Monday, September 15, 2008 /

Keri-This is a banger! Wayne’s verse is tight. This is miles better than Energy. This should have been released this summer. She would have gotten a better buzz. However, I don’t like her tone in this song. It doesn’t even sound like her. Th song would be even better to me if she sung it in her regular tone.

Tank-This is nice, but I wish he would switch it up just a little a bit.

Ginuwine-I like this. This sounds like his style, but i don’t like some of the lyrics. “Like a pimp without his ho” “Like on a field trip I can’t go”. LOL. Some of the lyrics are too elementary. But he sounds good on it. At least he hasn’t lost his voice. I agree with Brian, it would be awesome if he would go back to Tim and help bring real R&B back to radio, but Ginuwine said in an interview Tim wants too much money now. I hope they can work it out. I would love for him, as well as other real singers, to make a strong comeback and show these half singing people out now how it’s really done.

Ne-Yo-Not bad, so I see he’s channeling Prince instead of MJ this time. Go figure. LOL. The song would be much better if some of the lyrics were re-written. Other than that, I could see this song being a hit.

i thought keri was rihanna when she started singing at first,i know she can sing better then that what the hell!!!….the song is just ok……i would give it a second it a second listen but she pissing me off with this leaked material,get it together keri,i’m just glad weezy didnt use the auto-tune….thank you wayne thank you

@21,really?i loved his last album

its weird because i’ve been listening to all of ginuwine’ old stuff..(Wait A Minute,None Of Ur Friends Business,There It Is,etc)but i like this new song,he just has the voice that makes it hard for me to dislike anything he does,like Trey Songz

speakin of Trey Songz,brian,you should post his freestyles!He did “Swagga Like Songz” over T.I’s beat,”Love Lock Down” “Whatever You Like” and “Gotta Believe It”

31.

whateva

Monday, September 15, 2008 /

Tank- i love that song..artist need to bring real r&b back

Keri- its ok it sounds like all the other songs out now..lack sustance

Ginuwine- It has a nice beat i like it

Neyo- i dont like the lyrics it sounds like a song for young girls..i know when bey sings it it will sound kinda different so she can get writing credit on it.. but it sounds like everything out right now!!!

32.

Kena-smilez all day

Monday, September 15, 2008 /

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! When Keri started I thought I clicked the wrong song!

Dre

Monday, September 15, 2008 /

Since Beyonce is so Bubble Gum / washed up, she’ll probably love that demo.. as well as the stans.

Is that REALLY Keri? That sounds like some myspace artist tryna get put on IMO. Maybe thats how she sounds b4 she gets synthesized and Autotuned? I hope not, because i was looking forward to that CD.

Tank is like the male Brandy to me (and I’m a Brandy stan to the maxx!)

Gin-u-who?

42.

SO FRESH

Monday, September 15, 2008 /

TANK iz da shit!!! AND ‘i luv it”….dat shit hot….and he iz underrated than a muthafucka…one of the best voices in r&b today…his last album wuz da gr8 too…

NOT feelin keri…doesnt seem like her…wayne verse is killa but not feelin keri on it…slow dance needs to be next single

That neyo joint for beyonce….i’m not feelin it…maybe a grower…but jus aint

AND I’M NOT FEELIN DAT GINUWINE….take me back G to the “Differences and Pony” days…

43.

Monday, September 15, 2008 /

Keri’s is ok. I think everything ive heard so far from her is wack, besides Juice but thats it.

Tank is such a great artist, and I agreee with 41 he is like the male version of brandy, and I love Brandy as well she’s such a great vocalist

Ginuwine I did not get to

Neyo- Its a hit, I love it. But i cant really see Beyonce doing this lol and whats funny is this song fits Neyo, he needs to just come out already becuase the gay rumors are getting really old

44.

GINUWINE DID A CONCERT IN MY HOMETOWN LAST MONTH AND I ASKED IF SOLE WAS COMING OUT WITH ANYTHING AND I WAS TOLD BY HIS BODYGUARD THAT IF SHE DOES IT WILL BE GOSPEL. I ALSO LOGGD ONTO THIS SITE WHERE THEY BOTH WEREBEING INTERVIEWED ABOUT A FUNDRAISER THEY WERE DOING AND THEY TALKED ABOUT ALBUMS AND GINUWINE SAID HE WILL NOT BE PUTTING OUT STUFF HE WOULD NOT WANT HIS DAUGHTERS LISTENING TOO. SO THAT WHOULD EXPLAIN THE SONGS AND HE DID SAY HE WAS PUTTING OUT A NEW ALBUM SOON

I love Keri Hilson. The song is hot, but I wish Lil Wayne wasn’t on it. I like him too, but he’s on everything right now and I’m about to od.

51.

iamwhatiam

Monday, September 15, 2008 /

OMG that doesn’t even sound like Keri Hilson on the track. You can tell that Polow altered her voice a hella lot to make it sound catchy! She sounds a hot ass mess. This chick is soo wack. The whole southern catchy hip-hop music scene is dying off quick so she was dumb to record a track like this. I wish she would just stick to writing for other artists because that’s al she’s good for in the music industry.

WTF is up with that Ne-Yo track? In the beginning, I was like okay this sounds kinda nice and then it went to a dance mix. His vocals sound a mess on this song. They don’t match up with the beat. This sounds like a beat for a female who does pop/dance music… I guess that’s why it’s a Beyonce demo. LOL! I couldn’t imagine her loud vocals on this track. This beat is kinda cool, but needs to be more mixed in with some hip-hop or something.

52.

Monday, September 15, 2008 /

Ginuwine’s song isn’t great and def. isn’t (my) iPod worthy. I remember back in ‘04, Sole was in a christian play I saw. She told the whole audience that he was gonna quit his career to “come back to God” (rather thanking God so that implies it had to be true or he at least told her that). I wonder if they’re still together and if they are, how she feels that what she said hasn’t happened.————————————————————————————- Moving on, that Keri Hilson song SUCKS. When will artists realize going AWAY from your environment shows more range and makes them more interesting. I wasn’t interested in Tank’s song but I listened anyway. Let’s just say I should have trusted my instincts. I didn’t listen to Ne-Yo cause his voice (and sound) is overrated now.

Does anyone hear how he’s sing when he’s sing “I can’t live without that ass” Ginuwine WTF did someone not tell him that is not whats hot in the streets….

The Senior was my album, I loved all of them from The Bachelor to The Senior, but he fell off after that, and he look mad old. I bet Tank wrote this song…..and um yeah a big no too it.

57.

Tuesday, September 16, 2008 /

@ #43 I completely agree….NE-YO writes all these songs from a woman’s perspective, but this is the funniest of them because this song isn’t ambiguous. Lol. LMAO at the lines “I swear sometimes Boyz can be a mess..” He is a mess himself. LOL

Ginuwine has aged worse than Usher…yet another old man who refuses to let it go and grow up.

This comment applies to Ginuwine’s single ‘Good For Nothin”:

Constructive Criticism!!!!

I think that the song is a good choice for someone other than Ginuwine, but for him, I think this song choice is very WEAK!

We are used to singles with very hard beats and interesting background musical notes and sounds so that we can see him dance, and see his body, let alone hear that gorgeous voice of his!

Ginuwine doesn’t even put all of his vocals into this song. For him, it’s a disaster and shouldn’t even be on his CD, let alone a single.
