♫ 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.
Love cici’s new song..the vocals are ok i like the lil runs and upper registry notes towards the end..Bobby is aaight..Brandy is coool
OH. MY. GAWD!
DOES CIARA REALLY THINK SHE CAN SING? SHE’S AWFUL.
AND THE SONG IS BORING AS HELL! I DAMN NEAR FELL INTO A DEEP SLEEP TRYING TO LISTEN TO IT. I KEPT FAST FORWARDING THINKING THERE WAS MORE TO COME. IT WAS PURE GARBAGE..SHE’S SUCH A WACK BROAD.
I LOVE THAT CIARA SONG IT’S SO NICE AND CATCHY. FANTASY RIDE APRIL GO COP IT. IT’S CIARA YEAR.
BOBBY V – I DON’T CARE 4 HIM
TANK – WHATEVER
BRADY – I LIKE IT BUT SHE SOUNDS WIERD. VERY NICE BEAT.
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.
I really like the message in ciaras song. very relatable.
Ciara….WOW. Im impressed.
Ci-ok
Bobby V-not into it
Bran- ♥ it I’m feeling her outtakes more than her album
Tank- ♥ it
Tank can do no wrong in my eyes..
CIARA THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN UR FIRST SINGLE
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
I wish I could sing like Ciara. I sound like a cat dying. Ciara is WAAAAAAAY better than me.
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.”
CI CI is fine but she is a horrible singer!!!!!!!!!!!! YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now Brandy on th eother hand can sing her ass off.
btw, bobby v’s is prince-esque.
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
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.
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
I love Ciara’s song…She has definately matured since her “Goodies” days…I will definately be gettin the album,,,Probably 3 copies…”Fantasy Ride” here we come April 09′
ciara did a good job! chorus is really good
LOVE ME SOME TANK, THEY DO HAVE THAT SIMILAR SOUND HIM AND JAMIE.. THE REST SUCKS, LETS TRY AGAIN…
YEAH, CIARA SONG IS BEAUTIFUL, SHE DID THAT ON THIS ALBUM, CAN’T WAIT FOR APRIL TO GO GET IT!
CIARA’S TRACK IS PURE FIYAH!!! COP DAT FANTASY RIDE ON APRIL 7TH, 2009 AND REMEMBER CIARA WILL GO MUTI-PLATNIUM WITH OR WITHOUT DA HATER’S MONEY.
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
CiARA ???? G0 GiRL !!! GReAT V0CaLS !! THiS iS H0W Y0U SHuT UP BLoGGeRS SAYiNG Y0U CNT SiNG =D !!
I love “don’t remember” by CIARA, beautiful and well structured for her! Go CICI!
Ciara is WACK!!! she cant sing…dancing is her only asset and u cant booty shake all the time…She left it off the album on purpose…Terra Mari gonna come chop that tall glass of nothing down!!! All the rest is ok…
I ‘m going to get that FANTASY RIDE!
ciara at her best. nothing more nothing less.
:
@ number 2
I DAMN NEAR FELL ASLEEP MYSELF LISTENING TO THIS. SORRY CIARA I REALLY AM ROOTING FOR YOU THOUGH.
BOBBY V-IT WAS ALRIGHT NOT HIS BEST
BRANDY-I’M REALLY NOT FEELING THIS ALBUM AND I CAN SEE WHY IT HASN’T SOLD LIKE SOME PPL HAVE THOUGHT IT SHOULD.
TANK-MAN IS BAD. I LOVE ALL THAT HE DOES.
Ciara did her thing, you can’t hate!
LOVE THE CI SONG. IT’S SO HOT AND HER VOCALS ARE ON POINT. GET EM CI. BRANDY IS ALWAYS HOT LIKE USUAL. BOBBY VALENTINO WACK!!!! BUT YEA THE BEST IS CI SO FAR AND MY BABY TANK
I love all the love CICI getting already! this is a real record and so serious and just amazing! Showing Ci is a true artist and make REAL music! Like Never Ever that is so true!
B- rocka all the way!
Tank = Beautiful.
I LOVE this song. I wish a female woulda sung this song. IT’s perfect for me and my situation.
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.
cannot listen to another track way too much music in and out,in and out!!! WHEW!!!
i love the ciara song…….. and number 2 if she couldnt sing how did she get a record deal and you didnt? and how come she’s a platinum selling artist?… u need to go back to school… dunce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like all of these songs.
I like ‘Butterfly Tattoo’ even though the breakdown sounds like the breakdowns from ‘Falsetto’ and ‘Trading Places’. ‘Choose’ is okay.
I like Tank and Brandy…
I love Tank and a lot of people sleep on him. He is a good writer.
Ciara song is dope, i like the way the song builds.
I love that Ciara song, her vocals have improved. Can’t wait for the fantasy ride album.. i’m getting my copies and some.. for my nieces for course.
Bobby song was nice
Brandy always sounds good, just not feeling the song.
Tank love his voice, nice song.
@#40.
UM. RIHANNA GOT A RECORD DEAL. CAN SHE SING?
CASSIE GOT A RECORD DEAL. CAN SHE SING?
EXACTLY. YOU’RE VAGUE POINT MAKES NO SENSE.
YOU CAN GO PLATINUM AND BE TALENTLESS. HOW ABOUT YOU STAY IN SCHOOL BECAUSE YOU SOUND LIKE A DUMB ASS.
ARE PEOPLE OVER THE AGE OF 14 REALLY CHECKING FOR FANTASY FLOP..I MEAN RIDE?
Love “Choose”. Just like I love Jamie Foxx’s “Overdose”. Tank has skills.
@47 OMG R U DA REAL BOOTZ FROM FLAVOR OF LOVE 2!??
IF SO… SIT DOWN! U CANT TALK ABOUT NOBODY ESPECIALLY CIARA! SHE LOOK, SING AND GOT MORE MONEY DEN YO OOGLY ASS!

AND TAKE YO HIV INFECTED BABY WITH U!
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”.
&spades &spades &spades &spades &spades &spades &spades
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.
I can picture the video for dont remeber but this song is garbage. Brian post some songs on Drake or someone else. Its the same people every week
bootz, bootz, bootz, has nothing to do, gosh, your the dumb ass.
Ciara…LOL, i can’t hold on for any longer..i really can’t..WHAT IS GOING ON??
Bobby and Tank can sit DOWN!!
Brandy…it’s okay!
Pingback: Music Review: A celebration of Sorley MacLean (The Scotsman) : Rhapsody - Give Me Music!
The Brandy and Tank songs were okay but I didn’t like any of them like that…
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!
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…
