♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

Monday, January 19, 2009

♫ Ciara - Don’t Remember (full) - listen
This is a very interesting song from Ciara, taken from her Fantasy Ride sessions. There are so many songs about drinks out nowadays, but this is really a different perspective. As far as I can tell, that’s Ne-Yo on the background vocals, and he’s responsible for some of the writing. I actually am really digging this song. It seems as though Fantasy Ride is shaping up to be a pretty solid project from the new material that’s been surfacing. Vocally, I like what Ciara is doing towards the end of this song too. Nice work.

♫ Bobby Valentino - Butterfly Tattoo (full) - listen
Check out this new track from Bobby Valentino’s new album, Rebirth. The track is produced by Los Da Maestro, who is largely responsible for production on The Dream’s last album, Love/Hate, as well as the hugely popular first single from J. Holiday’s “Bed.” The production on the song is solid — even the vocal arrangement, and whoever vocal produced Bobby V. on the track did an amazing job, but haven’t we heard about butterfly tattoos from Bobby Valentino already. Just wondering.

♫ Brandy - Bring It Back (full) - listen
Brandy’s new album was originally supposed to be executive produced by Bryan-Michael Cox, from previous reports. Even though Human turned out to be executive producer by Rodney Jerkins, Brandy still went into the studio with B. Cox. His productions bring out something in Brandy’s voice. The production to this song is very similar to that of “Fall,” the closing track on Human. Brandy does really well with piano-driven songs. I would have been very interested to see what else Bryan would have added to Brandy’s new project. I think they probably have some more amazing records that were outtakes from her most recent album.

♫ Tank - Choose (full) - listen
Tank is one of the few male artists right now that holds his own in a lot of different rights. He’s got a great voice, he’s an excellent writer, and he’s produced a lot of great songs for other artists. At first, when I heard this, I was thinking that it was possibly a demo for Jamie Foxx (Tank was a huge part of the success of Jamie’s previous album, Unpredictable), but then I remember that Tank recently held a listening party so that listeners could sample new music from his upcoming project. “Choose,” I’ve read, was a part of those songs. It’s a pretty solid song, and what I’m used to hearing from Tank.

I like that Ciara song. Its catchy on the hook, and Ne-yo vocals draws you in. Great Como CeCe. I even like her new sleek model look. Keep it up Ciara. Brandy always deliver. She cant go any wrong. Tank just got that body, I dont care about what he says, just keep that body tight daddy. Bobby Valentino???you cool.

Monday, January 19, 2009 /

love cici. she has sweet vocals even though it’s not powerful. a person doesn’t have to overdo the vibrato and yell to be a good singer. sade aaliyah and those that give up a vibe can be appreciated as much as aretha and fantasia.

the song may not be on the cd but i have no doubt that her cd will be hot

ciara’s song is nice, especially since her album doesn’t sound great.
yes, bobby valentino must love butterfly tattoos on girls. in slow down “butterfly tattoo right above your navel. your belly button’s pierced too just how i like it girl.”
:D

Vocally, Ciara sounds at her best..but the song itself is boring. I thought it was going to pick up and it didnt, it just became kind of stagnant

Monday, January 19, 2009 /

Ciara -Don’t Remember - I Love This Track… A Side of Ciara that I didn’t know existed… I’m going to pick up that album, April 09.

Bobby V - Butterfly Tattoo - It’s straight, but I could have sworn he sung about a tattoo already.

Brandy - Bring It Back - It’s Ok….

Tank - Choose - I like it…

DONT REMEMBER is a SOLID and a great TRACK! Why does it sound like a women on the background vocals lol. Anyways hell if Fantasy Ride have more Retro Tracks fused with Futurstic sounds like this song and hot uptempos like other song leaked. Im saying this is the album of the year! GOD I love it! GOOD JOB CICI! Yeah this EASILY could have been lead single but I wouldnt expected it to chart too high cus its a ballad.

19.

Zing!

Monday, January 19, 2009 /

That Ciara song is fire. Her vocals sound awesome. She and Neyo should work together more often.

Brandy - Not feeling her this time around.

Bobby Valentino has a good voice but he has no presence as a solo artist. He’s kinda just there. He needs a publicity stunt or something lol

All of Tank’s songs I heard on here sound good. If these songs will be on the album he probably will have one of the best r & b albums of the year for real. People needs to stop sleeping on him. The rest of them songs is wack. Brandy fell off after the Never say Never album. Bobby Valentino I like him but he not gonna make it outside of DTP. His first 2 albums better yet his first album is a classic. Ciara is okay only good cut I heard off the new album is Explode and that beat is sick on that song. As far as this song on here if i had a choice to have this song only on an mp3 player on an island for the rest of my life i would go without it

LOS Mastero productions all sound a like and Bobby V def. WASNT feeling the song or the concept was too lame and just dumb!

Brandy was ok

Tank and Ciara to me were the best out of this. Ciara did surprise me. I know Fantasy Ride will have lots more surpises.

Ciara-Okay, much better than her other material lately

Bobby V-Sounds pretty good

Tank’s and Brandy’s songs really stood out to me. I don’t know why Brandy didn’t choose this as a single or even put it on the album. I like the line she said about Katt Williams “don’t worry, I’ll wait”. lol That was cute. A lot of Tank’s songs posted here in the past were just decent. They didn’t blow me away but this song is hot. He needs to keep the consistency going with songs like this.

@17 You’re right. He did sing about a butterfly tatto already. It was on his first single “Slow Down”.

ciara’s song is very appealing;
i loooooove it she has an airy sweet innocent type singning voice
that isnt powerful which is really appropiate on tht track

brandy has greatt vocals but the song doesnt sound fresh enough;
gets boring quick

bobby…umm he needs to quit.

i feeli tht beep beep thing tho:)

tank…he’s sexy but i didnt evn bother

I like all the songs. Ciara’s song is really refreshing to hear. I’m glad she is showing more of her vocal skills and doing something more than dance music. I agree this should have been her first single.

Aight first, i of course love my baby CIARA. Da tracks who meaning was real, but tha song really not my style but its str8, as long as erebody else like it..

And to everybody that said shawty can’t sing, yall kill me with dat… Yall said she was a one hit wonder, 2nd album would be her last, now yall sayin this one will be her last… She got a RECORD DEAL, ALL OF HER ALBUMS WENT PLATINUM……..i doubt she would stay relevant THIS LONG is she was talentless or couldnt sing…. Oh, and can we get a untagged version of dat LOVER’S THING with her and Dream…. Dat joint is sick!

Tuesday, January 20, 2009 /

A LOT OF THE SONGS THAT ARE BEING LEAKED FROM CIARA’S “FANTASY RIDE” SESSIONS ARE ALL PRETTY MUCH JUST DEMOS THAT SHE AND HER TEAM DIDN’T FEEL WERE GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE THE FINAL ALBUM CUT.

THIS IS WHY MOST OF THEM SOUND AVERAGE AND JUST OKAY. NO NEED FOR HER TO HOLD ON TO THEM.

BUT SONGS LIKE “ECHO”, “LOVER’S THING”, “WORK” AND “I’M ON” WERE ACTUAL SONGS SHE WANTED TO KEEP BUT WERE UNFORTUNATELY LEAKED…

61.

let's not lie

Tuesday, January 20, 2009 /

ciara is NOT relevant to the world at large lmao. this is one of her best songs and it still isn’t up to par. none of the songs on here are. she sounds like an amateur singer. you can have a soft voice and still kill it (i.e. sade, aaliyah).

i didn’t bother listening to the rest. i already knew they sucked. i’m rooting for brandy though
