♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

♫ Cassie feat. The Dream – Keep On Lovin’ Me (full) – listen
Although Cassie garnered plenty attention for herself over the weekend by shaving one side of her head off, some of us have not neglected the fact that she has an album coming out and that she actually has new music coming out. The latest of the material to leak is The Dream-assisted “Keep On Lovin’ Me,” which isn’t a half bad pop record. Although, I’m not quite sure how it will fit in with the flow of the album, considering the sound on Cassie’s current single, “Must Be Love.”

♫ R. City – Rockin’ My Body (full) – listen
I absolutely love these guys. I love their writing – I get really hooked onto their songs. “Rockin’ My Body” is no different. Even though it feels slightly like Chris Brown’s “Forever,” I think it’s a really good record for them. I’m hoping that their new single with Swizz Beats helps them move forward with the process of releasing their album via Akon’s Konvict music, because these guys are talented writers.

♫ Lil’ Wayne & Fall Out Boy – America’s Suitehearts (Remix) (full) – listen
Lil’ Wayne is really just singing on this track, no rapping at all. It’s interesting to see him on this remix, but I guess he is trying to more familiarize himself more with “rock” culture, considering that he is releasing his rock-inspired album, The Rebirth, in June, lead by the single, “Prom Queen.” More than anything, though, “American’s Suitehearts” sounds more like a pop mid-tempo with a rock vocal, plus Lil’ Wayne’s pseudo-sing, complete with AutoTune.

♫ Bobby Valentino – I Apologize (full) – listen
Check out this new track from Bobby Valentino, which wasn’t featured on his most recent released, The Rebirtch, which is really too bad beecause it actually makes me feel very reminiscent of the ’90′s, with the structure of its chorus. I really actually like this song, from the production to Bobby’s vocal performance. I would have liked to have seen this on the album.

    I love you R. CIty, Their music is fabulous.

    Lil Wayne…Next, people should stick to what they know rapping, but “I am in love with my own self”.

  2. PhiLStEr

    iLove BEyonce[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
    =]

  3. CokeBaby

    None of the songs appeal to me, espcially not rock city or cassie

    And Brian’s side marks don’t stop do they, well at least CL are actually posting for once

  4. MEME

    OMG. I cant stand reading these reviews. Do this author even kno how album works. All songs DO NOT have to sound alike or be the same. Check beyonce’s new album or Kanye’s for reference. Its something call a variety

  5. loved`

    Cassie needs to go find Ryan Leslie and make amends. She sounds horrible.

    She didn’t sound this bad when Ryan Leslie was producing her tracks. Her first CD wasn’t this bad.
    I honestly think Hanna Montana could out sing her……

    She posts all this stuff on Twitter, but I still haven’t heard her sing live since that BET performance…..

    I like the Fall Out Boy song……minus Lil Wayne.

    The Bobby Valentino song is OK, but it’s no hit.

  11. lmbao.im mad ya’ll made cassie’s new look her icon picture…thats just a mess

  12. Kellz

    I liked the feel of Bobby’s song but I’m not looking for new slow music. OMG do I even need to comment on the fuckery that is Cassie right now lol? I don’t even know why I wasted time to listen but I did and she can have those 10 sec. of my life since she needs a new one! I like RC sometimes but their pop ish is NOT the ish. Oh and I didn’t bother to listen to FOB because I like their old stuff. They’ve released more pop/punk songs as singles (which was the 1st warning they were going to sell-out) and their last album was NOTHING like the original pop/emo FOB I grew up on (the straw breaking the camel’s back). So if Wayne wants to get “associated” w/ the rock crowd, wrong band to jump on. I think he’s trying to get associated w/ that kind fanbase *pointing to Kennie* for future sales… or at least that would be the smart and logical reasoning behind the remix.

  13. Kellz

    Oh and after looking @ this year’s Warped Tour line-up, I take back what I said about Wayne not deserving an invite. He’ll fit right in w/ those posers… gosh I miss the old days.

  14. Miss cutie Kute

    Stop it cassie! Just stop it!

  15. FallBackHaters

    And she chopped off her hair for this crap.

  16. Cassie gone have to come harder than that

    that shit was wack and i’m feeling everything the dream touch right now!

  17. HMMM

    The writing for these reviews always seem off. I think if they were more objective and less about the author’s personal taste, they wouldn’t come across as being so biased. Nothing wrong with promoting music of people you’re friends with, but properly reviewing the content of the songs without unnecessary side comments would make these more bearable. Proof reading and spell check would be a great start.

    judging by ur name it looks like u really hate cassie, like u know or something.

    I bet u follow Cassie on twitter tho!

  19. Juicy SuperStar

    Fallout boy and Lil Wayne – Like it alot… I love that he is trying new things

    R. city – hate it

    Cassie – I like her new single but NOT this song here… Love that hair though… So cute on her.

    Booby V – I like it, nice flow

  20. Gia

    I like the song by Cassie. I think it’s in the direction of which she should stick with. The more uptempo songs. It goes along with her voice better the midtepmpo songs she keeps doing. I hope the next song of hers to leak is even faster.

  21. LoveMuffin

    That Cassie joint is..GARBAGE. The f**k?! I tried to like it..FAIL. The Dream knows better than that!

    R.City was lukewarm. It just seems like I’ve heard that beat in a million more songs. These guys seem like they got potential. They should try something a lil different!

    FOB & Weezy-The song was a little dull but especially when Lil Wayne came on with that inaudible autotune piece of crap. He is soooooo dragging it.

    Bobby V.- That song is pretty nice. Good flow. His voice sounds whiny to me sometimes. Lol.

  22. B. Da Baddest

    She needs to stick with the pop route( cassie) cuz it suits her voice.

  23. lodi

    i love that bobby track too!

  24. simplylovely

    WTH did Cassie decide to do a Brittany Spears? Someone’s trying too hard!

  25. Mr. Kane

    Cassie’s is hair is HOT!

    Something different and not the average woman would do.

    I LOVE the fact that she even did it ANDDDDDD looks DAMN FINE with it!

    :D

  26. r city

    these guys are gay….

    CL – always promoting gayness like it’s in style

  27. imnotthatstoopid

    Not feelin’ Cassie’s song-she sounds like a little grl baby talkin’!

  28. B.DUbb

    I wonder how much Diddy paid AOL to get Cassie’s haircut featured on the Welcome page…………….

    The girl should just become a professional blogger……

  29. LUPE FIASCO IS NUMBER 1 :)

    lil wayne is trash
    cassies hair sucks
    bobby valentino is short
    city- who the heck are they?!?!
    and TBH i would not be putting any of these songs on my MP3 any time soon :)

    lol im joking but seriously.. no

  30. Servontay

    I would have to agree with the Lil Wayne song. Why is he on it he sings most of it and you dont know what he is saying but he does have like one line it

  31. yourecrashingbutyou'renowave

    kellz. if you’re a true fan of fob, then you would know that they have always maintained that they were a pop band. it’s their fans who tried to paint them into this “emo” bs. ” i only listen to their old stuff”. ok. that’s one of the classic lines from the “the band got popular and im mad because now everyone knows them so im not going to like them anymore” peeps. gtfouh!

  32. RENAE

    With that cut, Cassie kind of looks like the girl who was on one of the seasons of America’s Next Top Model.

  33. S. Dot ANN

    Bobby V’s song was right! The others were not to my liking. Couldn’t even get through the Cassie song. Poor thing has so artistic talent in her body. She needs to find a 9 to 5 or go back to modeling.

  34. Moppie

    Cassie’s song is addictive. I like it.

  35. Who in God’s name told Dream he could actually sing?!?!? That track he did with Cassie sounds like garbage. He makes her sound like Mariah Carey next to him.

    *shaking my head* the state of music in 2009.

  36. @11, that is so tru.! that 106 performance was horrible..and we all discovered that she had no singing ability. she was just another one of those chicks that was signed for her looks…not for talent.

    WILLPWR, i totally agree. music has ben fallin off for a while, but this is wat the new generation prefers lol

    ‘crackin up’ still can’t believe the-dream produced this ish. it really sounds like it should be on a kid television show..excluding the vocals of dream n’ cassie. man, its a shame this actually leaked out haha.!

    cassie its time to hang it up and go back to modeling ASAP.

    LMAO at the high note at the end the-dream tries to hit…damn.

  37. irrational rationalist

    a whole post of wackness…bobby v’s is OKAY

  38. ME

    HORRIBLE. The Dream was dead wrong for this, but it’s about what I expect from Cassie.

  39. Dude-N-H-Town

    Wow…..these songs are FOOL OUT!!! I like Lil Wayne’s approach to rock, but this song sucks

  40. Sammi

    Cassie’s song is bad. It started off good but her voice is much too soft and mellow for the beat.

    I’m sorry but I’m not feeling this song. I thought she wanted to be a rocker. Where is the rock songs?

  41. haha

    rockin my body sounds like “forever” and “closer” mixed into one song. dont like

  42. decaturATL404

    if lil wayne’s tryna be so “rockish” then y did they have to put a hip hop beat to America’s Suitehearts 4 his ass 2 jump on it…smch….hes so lame
