♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

♫ 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.

    Changing name to RealTalk2. Don’t wanna get names mixed up.

  2. CLICK ME, I HAVE OBAMA SHIRTS!

    I like the LeToya track…That “knock ” that she’s been using, works with her voice. This sounds good.

    Jadkiss was coo..

    I’m tired of everyone using that”T-pain” sound! Jennifer no…

    What’s with the “This is For Clearance use only” that keeps coming up on Ciara’s “leaked” songs. Is this saying that these songs are not going to actually be on the album? And that the actual songs are alot hotter than these? This is coo, but everyone was talking about this song like it was “FIRE”! It’s a nice song though.

  3. TRUTHFULLY CUTE08

    I AM SICK OF T-PAIN AND VOICE AMPLIFIERS IT’S ANNOYING DANG!!
    SING USING YOUR REAL VOICE T-PAIN CUZ U KNOW U CAN’T SING WITHOUT IT!!!

  4. sassydancer

    had to retrun i am actually hooked on letoya’s new song….it’s really fiyah!!!!

  5. bombdiggity

    Ugh the Jennifer hudsin song was so bomb until tpain got on it. I mean come on now this sounds like a beautiful song by why not with tyrese or anybody but him

  6. Corey

    I love them all especially Jhuds and Ciara tracks… not expecting that from Ciara a good nice sad song to reminsence!

  7. 313Finest

    Love the Letoya Song!

  8. Msz. Hewstin *Countin

    T-PAIN NEEDS TO GET THE FUCK OUT THE STUDIO!! THIS DUDE MUST EAT, SLEEP & DRINK STUDIO….

    I can’t stand him anymore. It was cute the first couple of times but now..he needs to give it the fuck up. The fact that he’s on ligit ALL of the tracks on the top #20 countdown, is a problem. And JHud is truely disappointing. I gave up on her a long ass time ago….and “Pocketbook” just turned me so far away from her that I will never buy her cd nor listen to any of her tracks in my free time….unless they’re new.

    Ciara is so GOT DERM WHACK!! She is pure whackness to the wackest of all whacks. She needs to call it a wrap and go teach dance somewhere. This cd is going to Flop like a damn burger. She gets a huge lighted up NEXT from me.

    What is Letoya trying to prove to us all?? That song was boring as hell and she needs to switch up her style. I’m from Houston

  10. shoyouright

    perhaps all these “leaks” are ploys to get ppl talking about the new album. r&b singers doing the mixtape thing that as lil wayne who “leaked” half of a non-existing album to promote C3.

    “yearbook” sounds good, but i hear tynisha keli did a cover that was pretty good too.

  11. Jay

    love ciara year book takes me back to highschool and how much i miss it

  12. Mrz.M&G

    okayyy sooo i LOVE letoya song!!!!

  13. (_!+0

    DANG! Why ya’ll gotta play my girl J. Hud wit that old ass out-dated pic? Ya’ll know dag gone well that there are plenty more pics of her out there that could have been posted other than this one. Nonetheless, i love what i’ve been hearing from her so far, hopefully she keeps it coming…

    Because I’ve been a fan of hers ever since American Idol.

  14. Mimi

    I believe ciara is remembering her high school days ok

  15. Truth Be Told

    This group of music is a NICE switch up from the same old songs that are being played on the radio…

    Letoya’s song with Avant is HOT!!! I like the words to the song

    J-Hud song is a nice radio play as well

    Ciara’s song is straight

    And tha Kiss is okay, he needs to come harder though

    (Really am feeling the Letoya & Avant song)

    With truth comes disappointment

  16. My_Opinion_Mattera

    The “LeToya” song is not hers…It’s Avant ft. LeToya. She sounds good on the song anyways, but this is apart of Avant’s comeback project now that he is on a new label-Capitol Records, which is the same label LeToya is on. Nuff Respeck!

  17. Ne-Yo new songs on Brian's post SUCK ASS! CL stop silencing ppl!

    What the hell was Ciara thinking? I understand record companies see the tweens and teens as cash cows (yea stupid… you’re a trick lol) BUT “damn!” can adults do adult music lol???? I think it should be a law against lyrics that adults make to identify w/ younger crowds lol. Just a thought…..

  18. Jay... Not who you think!!

    Where are all of these Ciara songs coming from? I could make two damn albums with the sh** that has been leaked!.. But anywho… “Yearbook” should have been released on her first album because the chick is like 22?? [i think] but anyway…. I like it.. I understand it becuz I am a senior in HS now. and I can feel where she was coming from. She hasn’t ‘evolved’ to me though.. the songs I’ve heard so far all could have easily been on “The Evolution” notthing special though! kinda lackluster!

    BUT…TO EACH HIS OWN! :P

  19. Cedric

    you dumb fuckers, Ciara’s song is reminiscent of high school years and how some people have kinda fell off, or went in a less positive direction…..The songs is good, Brian you are a fucking hater…..Ciara has never done typical music, like yall always say if it ain’t broke don’t fix it….You didn’t even espect this track from Ciara….shit, you never know what 2 expect from her…Ciara is the hottest artist out right now, hands down….The girl is a quadruple threat and now working on the business side of things, she even has her own dance angency….called universal…….check it out hater…

  20. melody

    latoya’s song is just so mothafrakin HOTTTT

  21. treytrey

    lol YEARBOOK-IS A GOOD SONG BUT ITS 4RM THE EVOLUTION CD NOT FOR THE NEW CD

  22. Annette

    CIARA—Song was CERTAINLY leak…It is a shame this website, still playing it. Knowing it not for their usage.

  23. YA STUPIDOS!

    these tracks form ciara are demos…so i don’t think “yearbook” would be included in Fantasy Ride. “Echo” is sure to be on the new album…and “lover’s thing” too.
    you should post up “lover’s thing”…..that track is straight FIYAAAHHHH

  24. Keri HIlson's Release Date

    Ciara’s song is beautiful. Very melodic.

  25. nicole

    wats wrong with u brian,just bcoz u dont like the song it doesnt mean othaz will not like it too..i ve been noticing u r givin ciara lots of shits abt her songs and both songs are so damn fine….work is a fierce,,keep dancing is an awesome record and u hated it and now yearbook
    well thats ur problem and go girl is gaining airplay like madness without even being sent for radio adds
    well ciara will have go against britney fro album sales on dec 2nd…thogh i luv cici but we all know shes gonna be outsold by brit i hope she pushes back the release
    i luv letoya…i hope she has an album comin out this year durin holiday season

  26. Mr-Make-It-Rain-on dem hOez

    bRIAN- i thought that Ciara’s label said the whole whole 3disc concept idea was scrapped?..atleast that’s what was mentioned in the Vibe article on her..

  27. chris

    letoya is back hotass song i just seen her live at patty labelle tribute concert the girl can blow if patty say she can sing enuff said michelle and kelly can’t f….ck with her in the singing department right now she inproved 120 percent sense torn get it toya

  28. dee

    i got that ciara joint on repeat.
    it’s different and it will just take some time to grow on y’all.

  29. shyshy87

    Latoya…cool

    Cici..i like

    so so about the J Hud

  30. 200BOTTLES O' BEER

    HONESTLY just because some one sings loud does not make them a good singer. never been a fan of J-Hud and i wont be purchasing this album. she needs to be be on gospel track or something or singing in someone’s choir..

    cosignin with someone else said .. what is Letoya trying to prove? she is still weak vocally and i predict this album will move 300K units IF she lucky & this is from one who purchased her first album and was SOO mad, but really i bought it to support new talent and after listeing to the entire album and like 2 tracks i decided new talent should be supported only if they are actually talented

    poor CIARA… goes to show a pretty face and nice dance moves is not all you need for longevity in the music game. her time is up i only wish to God Rihanna was in the same boat with her. she had a good run now she needs to just go model or retire or get paid to choreograph other artists joints but please. please. stop. making. wack music!

    – that is all llool

  31. 200BOTTLES O' BEER

    oh .. and JADA = WACKEST RAPPER ALIVE

  32. Prince Ciara

    as a a fan of ciara myself im kinda lost in the direction she is going but i still love her regardless and all these ppl saying she gone fall off can fall back cuz it aint gone happen this girl is in her 20′s not near the end of her life sorry she has a long way to go till that time comes if it ever does
    love this song. im a jr now so i can picture myself in this situation.

  33. brazio

    I like Letoya’s song, I think its real r&b, a great collabo, and not overdone. To all uv the haters im glad Toya shakes u off. I like Beyonce, but I think her fans just go to far, Dangerously in Love was classic, but B’Day was garbage, so “B” is not perfect after all.

  34. Prince Ciara

    and its also kinda amazing to me how this guy doesnt post lovers thing a song with mad energy but post the songs with the least sorry but CL get on ya grind make it happen

  35. stacie

    check out these pics!!! there AWESOME

  36. divastylez86

    MY GIRL TOYA STILL GOT IT!!! I CANT WAIT FOR HER NEW ALBUM! THIS SONG IS FIYAH, REAL R&B AND AVANT BRINGS THAT EXTRA SPICE TO THE SONG, A HIT FOR SURE ON THE HIP HOP R&B CHARTS!!!! PERFECT DUET! LOOOVE TOYA!! I MET HER IN PERSON AND SHE SUCH A DOWN TO EARTH AND FUNNY PERSON! SHE IS DEFINITELY PERFECTING HER CRAFT, HER VOCALS HAS STEPPED UP AND DID YOU NOT FORGET HER SONGWRITING SKILLS? COME ON! HATERS WILL HATE AND SHE WILL STILL SELL!!!!

  37. SoulSurvivor81

    Letoya…Its aight!! Maybe, I have to listen to it couple times

    Jadakiss…Pure Fire!!! Its good to hear him do something that isn’t a “Shoot’em Up, Bang, Bang” song!

    J-Hud….I love it but without T-Pain on it. Seriously, how would they perform that live? The dude can’t sing!

    Ciara…Womp Womp!! Not feeling it, then again I was never feeling her!
