♫ NEW MUSIC: RICHGIRL & CHRIS BROWN - “SMILE & WAVE“
Monday, July 13, 2009

♫ RichGirl feat. Chris Brown - Smile & Wave
♫ ALTERNATE LINK ♫
Check out the latest sounds from Rich Harrison’s group, RichGirl, in the form of their new track, “Smile & Wave,” which features none other than R&B crooner, Chris Brown. The collaboration most likely came about because the two share the same label and manager.
Admittedly, I wasn’t a fan of their first single, “He Ain’t With Me Now (Tho),” even though it does do a better job of showing off the girls’ vocal range, however, I think “Smile & Wave” is a little more suited for a radio single. But will this help or hurt the girls due to Chris’s career slump?

these girls have to be the dumbest girl group ever…
i was feelin them..until now
they coulda found ANY other male singer to do that…everytime i hear CB sing, now i think about him beatin women..and although he has pled guilty and thats all said and done I just cant get into him singin love songs anymore when Ive seen the other side.

Blah… I wonder if this song flops if Chris will beat the shit out of them for making him look bad? It’s an alright song if you’re still learning to use colors and to draw INSIDE the lines. Other than that… Eh, NEXT ———————->

I like this a lot. We’ll see if it was a good idea putting Chris on the track in time. This is much better than their first single. And yeah, which girl is singing the first verse? She should have done the whole track.

I hope this won’t be on their album. I have enjoyed every other leaked track but I am not feeling this at all. It’s not even because Chris Brown is on it. I just don’t like it. SMDH at this “female empowerment group” singing on a track with a convicted woman beater who walks around with a damn OOPZ! chain, so tacky and no remorse what so ever!

Im feeling this song alot… I love how all of the ladies in Richgirl can sing and hold their own and yet sound like a group! But I think that either lyndriette (far left) or audra (far right) are singing on the first first verse!

Out of all the singers they choose Chris Brown? WTF what about Trey Songz or Mario? They have way better voices. I wish people would appreciate them more. Especially if Chris aint dancing, I really don’t care for him because his voice sounds like he still going through puberty. He still ain’t grown man to me.
23.
tonya
Monday, July 13, 2009 /
^^^Yeah, both Trey and Mario’s voices are waaaay stronger than Chris’.
But, neither one of them will get them the attention a new group like them needs, like Chris can. Hence why they probably choose him. Now the question is whether the attention they will be get is positive or negative.
As for the song….cute but ultra chessy as well. I perfer their single….kinda.

Seems like alotta industry folks already dun moved on from the CB drama. Just alotta nobodys on the internet still biatching. Hilarious.
Song is nothing special at all though. Radios will eat it up. Music definitely died with MJ.

um this is not about the 90s so get over it..
As for the song its cute.. love chirs brown on it.. at this point its either you like him or u dont regardless so stop with this i wish they had some-else, he beat rihanna blah blah blah..its stupid crap!!!!
i never heard of rich girls or anything from them till i heard chris brown was on it.. it has just given them the exposure they need coz you know chris brown is everywhere whether you like him or not..watch how very blog is gonna carry this coz of chris..he aint goin nowhere and since they need the exposure, chris was a good choice!!!! his voice is maturing though and i love it!!!.go rich girls ft chris..like it!!!

WELL IT’S THE “NOBODYS ON THE INTERNET” THAT HAVE TO BUY THE MUSIC SO THEIR OPINION DOES MATTER.
& IF PEOPLE SEE WOMAN BEATER EVERYTIME CHRIS SINGS IT WILL EFFECT HIS SALES.
JUST LIKE PEOPLE CAN’T LISTEN TO R.KELLY WITHOUT THINKING HE’S SINGING THOSE SEXUAL SONGS TO A 13 YEAR OLD.

Well the good amount of people who still see chris as a woman beater everytime they hear his music, never bought his music to begin with. Most bloggers and commenters dont really realize that chris browns base didnt go anywhere. Its still there thats why I laugh when I hear oh his career is over, how you figure. At the most he lost a couple fans but not any that he cant gain back with a hot performance or song. When you go on othe websites(white ones no offence) sometimes the people on there have no idea of who he was before this, but once they seen him perform they were like oh damn he is so good. So people are going to need to start sperating the artist personal life with the music, cause I doubt that chris is going anywhere.
For the song its a cute song, some of yall really cant hear if you say them girls cant sing. One of the girl out of this group was in marios vid.

After seeing RICHGIRL open for Beyonce I must say they actually do have something to bring to the table!!
I don’t think Chris Brown being on the track will hurt them at all…. but the song is a little teeny boppish

It’s goin to be a hit, Chris Brown is on it, It’s the summertime and it has a nice feel, it touches down on the young population and Bey is the founder of these girls so they are goin to be pushed through…Where is my Jill Scott, uuhmmmm!

Beyonce had nothing to do with this group forming..
but anyway, That’s Lyndriette on the first verse.. same one who starts “He Aint With me” .. she sounds good singing lower, not that she didn’t sound good anyway.
I like the song.. Never did care for CB anyway.. They could have picked another R&B male and been just as cool. But I heard CB and Brave wrote it.

CB is extra whack. I hope he flops. And people say we dont give regular dudes this much shit. Guess what?? He’s not a regular dude. He in the spot light. That shit comes with responsiblities. He messed up and should pay the price.

Being a “potential” customer. This collaboration hurts them. I’m no longer interested in their music.
That basically goes for anyone i see “chilling” with chris. If i was an artist right now i’d be avoiding anything that has to do with chris brown pictures, songs everything.

Why is the world still so against Chris Brown, maybe if we ban together against something serious we can make a difference. Don’t care for the song though, more for the teenage crowd I think.

I really do not understand why everyone is so ANTI- Chris Brown… I really don’t. Like people really believe everything he touches now is going to fail. I like Chris Brown for what he is… an entertainer, bottom line thats it.
If rappers can be praised for creating hype around selling/using drugs, carrying weapons, having people killed, f*ckin every girl in the world, and corrupting the youth.. them dammit leave Chris alone

After only a few seconds of listening, I know this song will do better than the other song that sounded like someone had come off of their meds.
As for Chris, he signed his name to that drama. I think it’s okay for people to take a stand against what they don’t like. And, if they don’t like male assault on a female, then they don’t have to support him.

These girls are pretty good and I really don’t see how Chris Brown could hurt them. What he did was wrong but people make mistakes. I hope they will feature these girls on the new fashion and entertainment hair style and culture blog which I think will be launched in September. I think it’s called House of Fluff. I here all these people on the fashion blogs talking about it. But whatever, we’ll see when its launched. These girls are great though. Nice single.

I don’t think Chris really has to worry about a “career slump”. It’s over and done with now and it’s time for everybody to MOVE ON and LET IT GO. If anything, he brought something to the track, especially with them being newcomers. I didn’t like their first single either. In all honesty, I wouldn’t have listened to this song if my favorite artist [well one of my faves] wasn’t on it. Breezy getting on this song made me wanna listen to it. I like it. I give it two thumbs up.

I love how people are so quick to connect his personal life to his talent. His personal life has NOTHING to do with his talent. keyword: PERSONAL LIFE. I’m not about to stop buying his music because he made a mistake that had absolutely NOTHING to do with me. He’s talented. I appreciate his TALENT which is why I became a fan in the first place. I really wish some of you would come off your high horse and stop being so judgmental and hypocritical because you sound foolish. If your favorite artists got into some trouble, you would stop listening to their music just because of something that went on in their personal life when you’re supposed to be a fan of their TALENT? SMH People just like finding stuff to gripe and bitch about. LET IT GO. IT’S OVER AND DONE WITH. Let the boy live. Goddamn. SMH

Those that hate on CB were never fans. Those are HATERS..yes I used that word.
They never liked him or his success from the getgo and now have found sih to use against him.
What is the definition of a FAN. I’ll stick by the boy hell even his ex. Separate the music from the personal life. Somewhere your favourite artist is skinning cats, killing dogs for all you know so don’t act like you only listen to music from righteous artists.
Be for real or take your love to the Gospel choir charts like you think they all righteous too.
If I was this judgemental about my artists, I would be listening to SILENCE 24/7 on the 365.

lol- Chris Brown sings ”Hey pretty lady…” - I’m guessing he says this before he bites and punches her cuz lets face it, she won’t be looking pretty then…
Black music is dead. Today’s RnB is an embarrassment. Listen to Sam Cooke.

i love how people are coming to CB defense..
My opinion is my opinion..if i dont wanna support chris brown i dont have too..i personally have a mother and two sisters who if anyone put their hands on them there is goinna be hell to pay
i never said CB wasnt talented..but what i cant do is listen to him sing a song about how good he gonna treat a woman..and i kinow for a fact he beats on them..its contradictory.
just like i stopped supporting RKelly when he was out screwin lil girls..sometimes your personal life does affect your professional life…
im not saying i wish him to fail. But by me being a consumer, i choose not to spend my money on him..or support any female artists that decide to sing a song with him.
Case in point..Jordin Sparks..love her to death..LOVE that Song NO AIR…now i cant stand to hear it because of what they are singing about and what CB does do not match up..i had to delete it from my itunes
but like i said this is all MY OPINION and i am entitled to that.

I really like this song… go RICHgirls and CHRIS breezy!!! And come on people with the IKe Turner comparisons and domestic violence stabs.. let it go and move on, because I’m pretty sure you guys are the main ones who provoke your BF all the time and try to pop fly. That’s not acceptable either. So if you weren’t in the Lambo that night keep the foolywang comments to yourself and do something constructive with your time instead of hatin’ on someone who could careless about YOU!
Have a great day and stay productive.

I wouldn’t listen to this song again. If it came on the radio, I’d probably change the channel. The song is just lame to me, with or without Chris Brown. “wave…wave…wave…wave” boring boring boring… I will say that the girl on the first verse has a nice voice…I guess we know who’ll be looking for a solo career soon, lol.

It’s definitely going to take time for the public to “warm” up to Chris Brown’s voice again, especially on songs like this. At this point it seems like an R & B song like this is tainted when Chris’s voice is on it. I am by no means a hater but it’s just my opinion. I definitely liked the song “Shorty Like Mine” that he had with Bow Wow prior to this whole beating up Rihanna thing. He was singing on that one too. Anyway, who’s to say whether or not he will ever sell albums the way he used to. I think he should stick to fulfilling his community service obligations and fall back on the singing a bit.

MAJOR FAIL!
The beginning sounded like some stupid nursey rhyme which gave it a 50% fail and Chris Brown is already a 50% fail.
The song does not sound radio-type-ish.
And Chris Brown sounds like God slap the talent out of him. He sounds a mess.

For goodness sake…people always have to exaggerate. Having Chris isn’t going to hurt these girls. But if the song flop, I’m sure they will try to blame the fact on Chris being on the track.
Yall can keep sleeping if ya want, but Chris Brown’s career is not over. Not everybody is narrow minded.

@TJACK25 i have to agree. most of the people who are on cb’s case probably have questionable artists on their playlist anyway.
i personally couldn’t care less anymore about what cb did b/c riri let him do it and still wanted to be with him afterwards. i feel like if the victim doesn’t even want him to suffer (she didn’t want to testify and put him in more trouble), why should you?
anyway song sucks.
