♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

Friday, December 12, 2008 |

♫ Jamie Foxx feat. T-Pain - Blame It (full) - listen
Jamie Foxx’s album (which drops next week), has leaked in its entirety and it seems as though fans are digging this new song, “Blame It,” featuring none other than T-Pain. Admittedly, I’m not really impressed. Jamie Foxx sounds amazing without the auto-tune, so I’m a little disappointed that he jumped on that band wagon and dumbed his voice down for this. It’s times on this song when I can’t even tell the different between his voice and T-Pain’s.

♫ Brandy - Drum Life (full) - listen
The final version of Brandy’s “Drum Life” leaked and it sounds absolutely beautiful. I can’t understand why Brandy left all these Timbaland tracks off the album. Although it doesn’t really fit in with the overall theme of Human, the song just feels so good to me. From the vocal arrangement, to the pulse of the song, to the beat, it’s just an amazing record to me. Since it leaked, I haven’t stopped playing it. Great job, Brandy and Tim. I can see why she’d want him to help executive produce the next album.

MUSIC NEWS: JENNIFER HUDSON REEMERGES / BEYONCE ANNOUNCES EUROPEAN TOUR DATES / BRANDY ALREADY TALKING NEW ALBUM?

Thursday, December 11, 2008 |

After the recent tragedies with her family, Academy Award winning actress and recording artist Jennifer Hudson is finally making her way back to the spotlight.

It has been reported that she will shot a new music video next week for her second single, “If This Isn’t Love,” from her self-titled debut. She was originally slated to shoot the clip for the video before the murders of her mother, brother and nephew.

I had thought that the promotional trail for Jennifer had come to an end, and understandably so, but I’m glad to see that she’s decided to not stop working on the album.

Jennifer also was nominated for 4 Grammy’s this year, for best R&B album, best female R&B vocal performance, best R&B song for “Spotlight” and best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocals for her duet with Fantasia, “I’m His Only Woman.” Here’s what she had to say about the nominations:

“It’s been a childhood dream of mine to release an album,” she said in a statement, “so to receive four Grammy nominations is truly a blessing. I’m extremely honored and humbled by the nominations.

Good for Jennifer.
