Seems as though there was some truth to the news of Jamie Foxx dropping a new album. The Oscar winner will release a follow-up to his hugely successful album, 2005′s Unpredictable.
The new album is titled Intuition, and it will hit stores December 16th. The lead single, the T.I.-assisted “Just Like Me,” was the top debut this week at #48 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, which was super surprising, considering there had been no real news of Jamie Foxx releasing a new album. The track, which was co-written and produced by the hitmaking team of Tricky Stewart and The Dream, goes to digital retailers on Tuesday (November 11th).
Intuition will also feature contributions from Timbaland, Ne-Yo, Sean Garrett, Salaam Remi and Carlos McKinney, among others. I’m surprised that Foxx didn’t enlist Kanye this time for the set, and I’m a little disappointed to see that there’s no mention of Tank on the reports for this new album, considering that he was such a huge influence on Unpredictable, which has sold 1.98 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
ALICIA KEYS PREPS AS I AM RERELEASE
Alicia Keys, who has recently been touring overseas, has her sights set on November 14th to rerelease her third studio album, As I Am: The Super Edition in the United States. The new release of the album will contain the new single, “Savior,” “Another Way to Die” from the new James Bond film Quantum of Solace, as well as another previously unreleased song, “Doncha Know (Sky is Blue).”
KANYE & LUDA PUSH ALBUMS UP
In a world where album push backs have become prevalent, I’m pleased to report that rappers Kanye West and Ludacris are pushing their albums up a day.
The albums, originally slated for release on November 25th, will release that Monday, on the 24th. Albums typically drop on Tuesdays in the United States, but Island Def Jam has decided to capitalize on the Thanksgiving shopping weekend by releasing them one day earlier.
Interesting. I haven’t heard of anyone pushing their album up in a long while. The last big album that I can remember that did that was Destiny Fulfilled, Destiny’s Child fourth studio album back in 2004. I had no idea that both albums were releasing the same day – I’m sure that Kanye is expected to debut at #1.
LMFAO @ Only three Miss.Keys??? you know we just gonna download ‘em.;)
Still love you gurl, but this here recession……………….
I love Ms Keys but I have the original – I will catch the singles on itunes (wink wink)
I am kind of excited about Jamie’s new CD. I like that he waited a while. I had been hearing the song on the ATL radio stations and did not know who it was for a minute. I like the route Jamie is going. Young and fresh but not to gimmicky.
I love Ye. I am def going to purchase this CD. Good look for Luda but so far I am not planning on spending any money on him just yet.

Also I hate when artist do re-releases. You’re basically paying for a more expensive CD with all the exact same songs on the last one and 2-3 new ones. That’s a waist of money when you can just download them for free or-if you’re a loyal fan-buy them for 99 cents each.
The ONLY rerelease I ever bought was “Usher Confessions” – that was the baddest rerelease I have ever heard. I mean it was on fire.
I will definatly be coping Ludacris & Kanye’s CD .Jamie is a maybe cause his last CD effort I really was not feeling.With the popularity of CD piracy (bootleggin) that might be what I will be doing. Re release my ass she better quit while she is has a career that was not that great either her first 2 were the best when she had the braids. And the only way I would ever buy that re release is if she had a special feature picture of her buck naked holding a tub of hot wings. And we all know that aint happening.
she is so FUCKING overrated.. yall dont know MUSIC.. fake ass SOUL singer.. throw some jill scott on.. some amy winehouse BROTHER and ALL MY LOVING.. dont sleep on that white girl.. look those songs up on YOUTUBE.. classic.. they praise alicia like shes the only one that can sing.. shes light skin and pretty… duhh…. theres others
For the First time im not to excited about a Ye album I think jamie cd might be cool..Luda eh
usher was pushed up
It is about time jamie foxx to come out with another and i did not buy alicia keys so i will buy this one!
TOTALLY LOST MY TASTE FOR ALICIA AFTER THAT SWIZZ BEATZ DRAMA, BAD PRESS DOES HURT SOMETIMES.
SHE SEEMED LIKE SUCH A CONTRADICTION, PLAYING UP HER IMAGE AS HOLIER THAN THOU, AND AT THE SAME TIME, WRECKING A HOME, I’LL PASS.
OMG..Savior Is So Hott..
Love Alicia!!! I love her new song Savior too!! Shame on Clive for putting out a rerelease of As I Am…She doesn’t need to pull stunts like this to move units!!! She moves units without all the tomfoolery!!! Chicks in the game WISH they could sell records like Miss Keys!!! Keep doing your thing girl!!
I prefer usher’s version of Just Like Me.
i’m definitely going to check out alicia’s re-release of as i am!
