♫ D. Woods – Just Friends (full) – listen
It seems as though more solo material has been leaking from our girl D. Woods. Early in the week, we posted her new song, “On My Side,” now we have the super-retro “Just Friends,” which also appeared on D.’s MySpace page. I’ve actually really been liking the songs that I’m hearing, and she seems to really be experimenting with a lot of different sounds that she didn’t get to dive into with Danity Kane. D. is planning on releasing a series of mixtapes with all new material, so we’ll be hearing more from her soon.
♫ Jamie Foxx feat. Jermaine Dupri & T-Pain – Blame It (SoSo Def Remix) (full) – listen
It seems as though Jermaine Dupri is trying to put his SoSo Def label imprint back on the map! He’s been jumping on every song that’s been getting heavy radio play. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad idea if he’s planning on staying relevant. But I don’t think anyone is looking forward to an entire JD album, so perhaps he’s just trying to have a good time and make sure people know that he’s still breathing. Either way, the clubs have been eating this song up, so I’m sure the remix will fair well with fans.
♫ Day26 – Vixen (full) – listen
Just as I suspected, Day26′s album is shaping up to sound just like their first album. “Vixen,” produced by Kwame, sounds like something very similar to a track that was on their debut album. I guess since the some of the voices of Day26 are so distinctive, and the boys kind of don’t experiment with their voices (all of these runs and riffs all sound the same), the songs start to blend. I hope they don’t get stuck in that Jagged Edge rut, ’cause that’s definitely what it’s sounding like, judging from this new track.
♫ i15 – Tootie Frooty (full) – listen
I was hoping that I would see some more action from i15, Polow Da Don’s boy group on his Zone 4 label. “Tootie Frooty” is the latest effort for the trio. It’s produced by Polow Da Don. I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it – it doesn’t bother me, but I’m not super moved by the song. There are some elements of the song that are similar to that of Ciara’s “Promise.” They need a banger, though. Otherwise, they will go ignored like these other boy groups.
I love me some WIllie!!
I just wanna say…I love Jamie…His album is soooo HOT!!
Dwoods…please go back to DK!!!
and i loveeee day26..but i cant listen to any of these songs yet…but im sure they are all hot. (lets hope so)
muah! love u guys!
umm im not feeling this dwoods,
ayee willie is all mines
never been this far up
Not a fan of D.Woods’s song.
I really like the Jamie Foxx remix..love JD!
Day26 sounds good.
Not feeling i15. Sounds weak. Not memorable @ all
I don’t want them to make any more remixes to Blame It.
I like Day 26 not mad at the song at all.
i15 was coo I just love Polow tho
i don’t think D.Woods will get far apart from Danity Kane.. and will somebody pls get Day26 away from Diddy because they are as good as ruined under Bad Boy
might i add…brian i really love your “new music reviews”… its my favorite section of ‘Concrete Loop’. u always post great music. keep it up! CIAO!
D. Woods…I don’t like this song but I liked the another one though
Jamie Foxx…Love him and his CD
Day 26…Do like
I15…The song is straight
i’m with you on that #7….it’s pretty much the main (if not the only) reason i come here everyday
d woods = dk!
day 26 ok
that dam bh connect.com shit gonna piss me the hell off..keeeps cutting in all the time!!
thats snoop dog thing has to go!!!!!!
D. Woods track is wack…i enjoyed her “On My Side” single much better!
J.D.’s remix is wack…definitely doesn’t add anything to the song with his rap.
Day26…it’s okay but like you Brian I want to hear DIFFERENT!
i15 – didn’t even bother…
I don’t care what anyone says, I’m feeling D Woods song. I heard it on her myspace first and felt like it was dope for her to jump on a song that many thought might be risky.
I haven’ t listened to the Jamie song yet, but I’m sure I will like it.
Will get to the others later – I have to go to class.
she sucks
Love the work you do Brian!!! The music is very hot!!!
looooooves it
SoSo Def Remix–can I get the explicit version, please? LOL!!! I love the song, remix is okay.
D.Woods-no thanks
Day 26-no thanks
Tootie Frooty-didn’t like the title so I didn’t bother to listen
D Woods = NOPE, try again. Brian I don’t know what you listening to.
Love, Love, Love Jamie Fox but they could have done without another remix…the album is hot too.
Day 26 = 2 back flips and a triple kowsow, I really like this song and this sounds nothing like any song on the first album…Brian clean that wax out your hears.
Didn’t bother with the other group————>
the Day 26 song is kinda wack, sounds like a Ron Browz knock off track. blame it is one of those songs that so hot it doesn’t need a remix.
i agree with philly are you deaf….it sounds nothing like anything off of the last album….everyone knows that for whatever reason brian is a bigger fan of dk when day 26 is just as talented….personality wise they corny but they all have great voices and even better music….i like the song….i mean i get it lol, frankly im beginning to wonder if brian even listened to the last album….its ok if you didnt just be real lol
the i15 joint is nice….i like it alot,it does sort of have a promise type feel but other then that its a nice track
I want D. Woods to find her way back to DK…but whatevs
Love Day 26
And Jamie Foxx’s album is hot, but ppl need to lay off the remixes…
D. Woods – this is not the song. Hated it!!!
Day 26 – Like this song. It does not sound anything like the last album. I know I still listen to the last album on a daily basis and there is nothing on that album that reminds me of this song. I will agree with some who say they should get from under Bad Boys. I think they could go so much further!
Jamie Foxx remix – Like it!
NOT FEELING D.WOODS SONG LIKE THE OTHER ONE BETTER
JAMIE FOXX DID JUST FINE ON THE ORGINAL VERSION JD NEED TO GO GET HIS DAMN TEETH DONE THAT’S WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO
LOVE DAY 26 AND THIS NEW SONG “VIXEN” I LOVE IT.
DEAD @ I15 AT FIRST GLANCE I’M LIKE ” 115 I KNOW THAT AIN’T NO IMMITAION OF 112. BUT NO ANYTHING WITH POLO HAS TO SUCK, NO TAKE THAT BACK ALMOST EVERYTHING.
I soo agree with #5, I am tired of hearing different version and remixes on “Blame it”. Just leave it the way it is (original version).
As for everyone else on the new music………boring….this is the new quarter. I need for every current and new artist to bring out something that we can jam to. Spring is almost here and I need a song that i can ride to.
what remix on the jamie foxx song??? u mean that wiggity wiggity wack kris kross verse that jd not spit, but dribbled over a wack ass beat that was not even flowin wit his flow. that ish was trash!! it got good once it got to the original beat and original artists. jd just keep livin your fabolous life and stay behind the scenes…and i’m not talkin behind the boards…stay at the office and just do your thang homie. be a daddy to ur new seed or whatever, but you did not ride the wave into the realm of new hip hop. and i rode wit u throught the 90s and even early 2g’s but damn homie, back then u was the man homie, wtf happen to u???
Day26 BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
dwoods messed up that song. some songs shouldn’t be sampled unless you’re going to do justice to them
The music is good.
Love Day26 and D.Woods will be hotter than DK anyday.
Jamie Foxx can get it ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT!! TRUST!!
i15- I’m not cool with anyone who calls women hoes straight out the gate. I mean dang, before you start degrading your fanbase, can you get a hit single first?
i15 is a NO. And what is i15 anyway? Like they the iphone of music. Get the F’ outta here.
Pass on I5, listened to about 15 seconds of that crap and axed the window. The Day 26 song was alright, just something I wouldn’t repeat on my Zune. So I’ll pass on that one too.
D. Woods is sampling the Justice vs Simian Mobile Disco song “We are your friend”. It’s one of those songs that should not be sampled, it’s not made to be sang
Does D have a record deal yet? I like her!
Jamie can’t go wrong in my book! My theme song is “I don’t need it” lol
Brian have you heard of Jai?! She used to sing backup for Mary Mary but she releasin her EP next week!
I love Day 26 but judging by the previews of this season, I’m scared they’re end up like Diddy’s other bands
i love d. woods voice. The song is ok. Now the other song is sick. If shes gonna do this, she needs to get with good management and do some good material. Most important ly she needs to get with a good record label and get away from the cript keeper of music.
D-woods: Wack. tired of these techno type r&b music these days its tiring.
I’m sorry chick, but you might want to reconsider reuniting w/ Danity Kane.
Jamie Foxx- I dont like your music. Jermaine needs to stop rapping he ruined in the intro of this already weak song.
Day26- Disappointed. Dont like it.
i15- it’s alright, nothing special.
I get so tired of checking these so called “new music”. They usually very disappointing.
Thanks though Brian.
That’s not a real remix… is it?
The rest of the songs are luke warm.
I-15 has some bangers this song Tootie Frooty is more like a mixtape track they are so talented Polow just needs to find the right direction for them to go in like the situation with Keri Hilson she needs to find a direction also.
But I-15 is the name cuz its the freeway that connects each memeber when they formed as a group.
i dnt like any of em but the I-15 songg:D
D woods….no mam no no no can not do it
J foxx….sometimes the original is good without the 5,000,000 remixes..if it aint broke…
Day 26…last year of existance its a wrap for them…start packing ya bags signing with Bad Boy is the kiss of death!!!!
next on the rest
Ugh, Jermaine needs to stop jumping on songs and ruining them. He ruined Keri’s song for me..his voice and shortness annoy me
Kimora is beautiful and her daughters a gorgeous, but her neck is disturbing. Love KLS dressed, though.
Yeah so its not happenstance that D.Wood is coming out…well leaking out material so fast after that “break up” of D.Kane. Puffy is not a stupid man, this man planned this from the jump. He knew who he was picking for the group and how he wanted to pick em. If you are watching making the band and you listen it sounds like one of the girls from D.Kane are singing in the backgroup. Puffy knows the formula, he’s basicing his tactics off of destiny child.. Wasn’t it the 3rd album that they broke up and dropped down to 3 members after test driving the other girls. Puffy is going to do the same or just elimate all of that and just go with 3 members. Dude planned it. Sooo not stupid Puff…check mate man. ROFL
Ladies all like to join _____Millionaire Romances com_____. I really do not know why? Just cuz many wealthy men and celebrities there? or the men there are all handsome?
blame it on the alcohol is a massive fail. d woods is doing the thang!
all them songz suck
I actually like that D. Woods, it has an 80′s feel to it…like a Paula Abdul/Janet feel : ) Kinda funky!
d woods I like u alot but your songs are not that great sorry u can do better
can you do an album review of lefteyes, eye legacy
dont like the d woods track..
blame it .. is the club banger for sure.. and everything else is blah blah blah!
D. Woods: the song is blah. Sounds like every other wanna be 80′s song out.
Jaime Foxx: JD is not needed to make the song hot, actually he takes away from it. Just stick to the original.
Day 26: I will forget the song and title tomorrow. Wait, tonight.
i15: The song is ok, I guess I like the bass song sample…aww…the memories. (Please note: thick girls turn into obese girls after 5-10 years, just saying).
