♫ LeToya Luckett feat. Avant – Somebody Else (full) – listen
“Torn, Part 2?” This sounds exactly like LeToya’s first single from her debut solo album, but hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! LeToya dropped a buzz single last year, entitled “Swagger” and we were promised an album no later than June of this year, but it’s definitely still being worked on. From what I’ve heard, there’s not even a working album title yet. Anyway, I enjoyed LeToya’s first effort for what it was, but I hope she doesn’t try to stick with that same formula of singing over majority rap beats. No word on whether or not “Somebody Else” is Toya’s first single yet.
♫ Jadakiss feat. Ne-Yo – By My Side (full) – listen
Always been a fan of Jadakiss, his delivery has always been choice to me and I always love to hear him on features on some of my favorite R&B songs. It’s been a minute since I’ve heard anything I’ve heard from Jadakiss, so I guess now is as good to come back with a Ne-Yo feature as any! “By My Side” is the new single from Jadakiss’s upcoming project, which I was pleasantly surprised to hear about through a promotional e-mail, providing this new single.
♫ Jennifer Hudson feat. T-Pain – What’s Wrong? (snippet) – listen
Who ever thought… J. Hud and T-Pain. As the date of the release of her self-titled debut album approaches, it seems as though more material from the highly anticipated album is leaking. I was really wondering what J. Records was going to do with all of that voice of hers, production wise, but it seemed like on “Pocketbook,” they found a happy medium between… well, the extreme of Hudson’s voice. I’m eager to see what the rest of “What’s Wrong?” sounds like, especially after where the snippet ends…
♫ Ciara – Yearbook (full) – listen
Here’s one of the few Ciara tracks to leak over the last week. I heard through the grapevine that a friend of mine, Stacy penned this track. I like the concept of this song, but I’m not sure where it fits in the theme of Ciara’s new album, Fantasy Ride, which is a concept album, composed of 3 disks based around 3 cities. I’m not sure which disk “Yearbook” would fit in. But then again, I haven’t really understood most of the material from the album.
Ciara is dissapointing this time around!
LeToya just doesn’t have the voice to compete with the leading female artists…but it’s good to hear Avant.
cool tracks!
Brian do you have something against Ciara or what? It’s everytime a little bit negative but I guess, it’s your full right to have your opinion about Ciara’s new songs lol
I wonder why Ciara’s clan is leaking all these songs, the whole album will be on internet before the end of this month lol, I like Beyoncé’s method so far, they keep her bombs on lock, I heard ‘if I were a boy’ is a fire song and have nothing to d with Ciara’s ‘like a boy’, an anthem, kind of rock or something, cant wait; anyway, I like Ciara’s songs so far;
I am sorry but I really dont care about the other songs I didnt listen and I am not surprised T-Pain is in a J-Hud track, since him and Lil Wayne are on every feat. nowadays….
I love her…there is nothing like a comeback!! I’ve always say for everry setback there is a comeback!! If this second album does nothing she defintely did extremely well with the first one.. As they say in Genesis 50 though you meant evil against me God meant it for the good…to bring it to past.
Love Letoya’s song, and I love the Jennifer Hudson song..
Letoya is becoming a vocal beast….which is so weird, because “they” used to say she couldn’t sing at all. But anywho….I’m glad to hear something new from her.
Letoya Online said that this is unfinished and unmastered…and may not even make the final cut on the album. So this is not a buzz track or anything….it was just a leak.
Letoya-I heard the song yesterday and I like it. It does sound like another Torn, because the beat is similar, but it’s a nice chill joint anyway. Um, Brian what album were you listening to? The majority of her album was ballads as well as the singles. She only had like 4 upbeat tracks on it. I still play it so I know.
Jadakiss-I’m really feeling it. He’s one of my favorite rappers. His flow is undeniable and consistent. I wasn’t even bothered by the Ne-Yo feature. His feature wasn’t overused which is a good thing.
Jennifer Hudson-I would like it if T-Pain wasn’t on it. T-Pai’ns auto tune vocals doesn’t mesh well on the song. She should have had one her label mates on it, either Tyrese or Mario. It would be fire if they were featured on the song.
Ciara-I haven’t liked a lot of Ciara’s leaked stuff from this new album, but this one is alright. It seems like she’s having trouble making a good upbeat song. The stuff I’ve been hearing is bland.
Jennifer Hudson – I am so disappointed in this track solely based on the fact that T-Pain is on it. You can’t do a duet with a non-singer.
Ciara – ?????
cici… i like!
this would be a great single…i really like it..maybe you have to have actually gone to high school..not be a dropout to dig it…..she could do anice vid too with prom shots and everything..this is the best of her new stuff i have heard.
last comment and you would have to have ‘changed’ to appreciate it not still be in high school mode like so many people. Go ci ci..finally some good material.
I could definitely hear the J Hud and TPain song on the Quiet Storm radio…
OH NO T-pain is like a new Disease.lol. First it was Chris Brezzy then CICI, ( which btw her Cd Aint soundin to good right now ,how bout junior slum.lol) And now J.hud on that damn machince .STOP THE MADNESS.
Read the new Vibe. Ciara says she scratched the 3 disc concept of the album. The title is still the same but she is going in a different direction.
LINCOLN HEIGHTS TONIGHT @ 8:00 PM ABC FAMILY
TONIGHT LINCOLN HEIGHTS AIRS
Letoya Luckett!!!!! I LOVE this song! I love the beat and the Avant feature is hot! Get it, girl!
#15, good to know. I’m gonna pick that new VIBE up today.
LETOYA NEEDS TO GET IT TOGETHER!!!
CIARA…WHATEVA…JUST DANCE
I’M ALREADY TIRED OF T-PAIN SOOOOOOOOOOOO I WON’T BE LISTENING TO J HUD SONG
Don’t like the Cici…
J-hud loves it!!!!
Ms. Luckett I like it, don’t sound like her first song..
I love the Letoya song and she is definitely sticking to the concept of R&B which is great. I’m really tired of the pop&b. Either be pop or be R&B. Try them seperately too, I don’t care I just hate when they are mixed and the wave of pop&b is becoming very annoying. When you can make groove music like this hit main stream that’s a talent just like she did with Torn. Honestly if Ashanti, Solange, and Rihanna can survive in the music era with their mediocre to no vocals, than LeToya definitely has a place here cause she surpasses them.
Letoya Feat. Avant = somebody else …I like
Jadakiss Feat.Ne-yo= By my side… Hot!
Ne-yo is very gifted..
I like the Avant and LeToya song – two of my favorite artists who are so slept on by the industry.
Alliwannaknowiz, why can’t artists stand on their own without being compared to others? There should be no comparisons – if you like the artist and what they’re doing, support them – it’s that plain and simple.
like all the songs except the one by ciara.she is not making me excited 4 this cd at all
Brian, your not the only one who doesn’t understand what Ciara is doing this time round…..i think she just needs to call it a day, everything i’ve heard so far has been wack.
Well I guess I’m the only that like Ciara’s song…
I refuse to listen to anything CIara has out with that annoying ass THIS IS FOR CLEARANCE USE ONLY voice over it!
I REFUSE
LATOYAS JOINT IS FIYA!
WOW!~!!!!…..this is the first ciara song i actually like and supernatural…..Cici needs to get it 2gether cuz sooo far what i heard i really dont like…and that first single wit t.pain is TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!….J.hud song is okay(sick of t.pain)..I like L. Luckett song
Ughh when iz Letoya going to Sit down???????
She iz so horrible Live! She actually Yells….She iz a mess.
BTW the ciara joint iz hot! GooD Concept.
i used 2 like ciara… wtf.. her voice is worse then rihanna thats bad..
that letoya song is not bad at all! dig it
Brian your jealousy is saddening.
Truly.
Love Ciara’s song. It’s very nostalgic.
i love ciara’s song & i think that every1 is 2 negative bout ciara’s efforts and just needs to shup the hell up!!!
lol @ the year\book song being a left over from evolution. but keep hating, it’s flattering.
while keri hilson flops anyway
letoya song is kewl and cee-cee’s is okay!!!
yearbook is very boring……ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz
I am loving the Ciara song!
cant wait to get home and listen to these tracks….i’m @ work now…dang, anyway i’m glad to see letoya workin on new material…..
Feeling that letoya joint and the jada joint
Toya is what it is! I am waiting on the next album. She is truly REAL R&B. Unlike half these wack ass singers like Rhianovoice. Kelly and Beyonce was truly hating when they said Toya is tone def.
that cici song is hot. im a songwriter and that concept is hot. the melody fits the track, and that last verse/bridge is the shit… she took it back… this is a hott song. its creative… a lot of kids just out of highschool,and in school will like this song… and thats her audience right there… i haven’t liked the other stuff from her album, but shit, i wish i wrote this song. fiya

“BRIAN”
Why am I not surprised that you don’t really have anything positive to say, could it be because she’s not a Knowles? Dude please, the word is this ISN’T the first single and it may not even make the Album. The song is UNMASTERED, and imo it sounds nothing like “Torn”.. LeToya’s next Album will sound NOTHING like her Debut, her manager has stated that plenty of times, I’m sure fans have written in to you telling you that as well. Don’t act like you are out of th loop when it comes to Toya, throwing your sideways hate at every damn song that gets released by her. I forgot, if it ain’t some vouge type music, you don’t feel it unless like I said earlier, it comes from some of your Idols (of the female kind)..
I’m no Stan, I just hate when people kiss azz of certain Artist’s, and put out negativity when it comes to others.. No one needs your opinion, just post the song and let the readers give their honest opinion. Which of course now can’t happen with some, because they copy off of what the blogger says because thinking on their own is impossible!
Anyway, I like the song. Her voice sounds a little soft but it she has improved vocally.
“Philster”
I’m sure she’ll sit down when you GET OUT HER AZZ!!!!
“Chinky_Brown”
Wait and see……. To compete with who? Ciara? Rihanna? Michelle? Kelly? You’ve got to be f*cking kidding me, stop f*cking hating and get a life!!!!!!!!!!!
Cant play T-Pain. He has a great ear for music and he is solid on the production side also. At first he was gimmicky but after he got to do what he wanted he really started to shine.
JADAAAAAAAAA! thats my favorite rapper sorry …..so i guess he really is on Def Jam huh. Im still buying regardless
J.hud i think is going to sell to the mature crowd ….i think she is going to do well
that Ciara song was kynda cool minus the annoying CLEARANCE thing but the track was mellow
BRIAN much appreciated if u get that new Jazmine Sullivan song “busting windows”
That LeToya joint is on fire!!! This producer called Mucho did the beat. Banging!!!
FJ
Le toya’s song sounds like her first single from her last song. I think she should pick songs that matches her voice. She isn’t a really good singer to me anyway but she sounds better then ashanti and ciara.
speaking of ciara i’m disappointed her last album was called Evolution which means going from girl hood to woman hood so why in the hell does she have a song about high school and yearbooks. her audience doesn’t want to her that. Not me i’ve been out of high shchool. Grow Up Ciara
J-Hud didn’t impress me either she is an R&B singer she can SANG so why does she have to hook up with t-pain?
Didn’t listen to jadakiss never did like him
@ Real Talk
Dayum! Is it that serious?
I’m lovin the Ciara track
the others don’t really care for…………….
Letoya still boring as eva
J. hud next
Jadakiss next
What is the release date for J. Hud’s album?
YEARBOOK sounds like a ripoff of Teenage Love Affair
#54…… It comes out Sept. 30 (I will be first in line for that classic)
I love the song by Letoya….very nice
Jennifer is the bizness!!! I can’t wait for her CD to drop….her pipes are amazing!
Luv Cici’s and Letoya’s….i hope Letoya puts this one on her album.
And i see everyone’s on T-Pain’s tip now; a year ago everyone was on Akon’s tip….there’s too many followers in the industry.
LeToya – LOVE IT! Avant and LeToya voices are beautiful on this track.
Ciara – I like it.
J-Hud – I love Jen’s voice but T-Pain smh. I’m sorry but no real singer should be singing with T-Pain or Akon unless they are just producing your album. I really can’t stomach these two.
Jadakiss – I love Jada. Anything thing he does is hot. This single is HOT!
Very Cool tracks by all.
