♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

Amerie feat. Lil’ Wayne – Heard ‘Em All (Remix) (full) – listen
In an attempt to give Amerie’s Def Jam debut, In Love & War the push it needs, they’ve added Lil’ Wayne to the Eric Hudson-produced, Sean Garrett-penned “Heard ‘Em All.” Admittedly, the song has grown on me a lot from the first listen. I think it’s because of the setting, this song definitely knocks in the club. Although Amerie’s album has been pushed back a couple of times, it is scheduled to release November 3rd, and a video for “Heard ‘Em All” is in the works. No word on whether or not Wayne will be involved.

Cassie – Can You Feel Me (full) – REMOVED
Another of many tracks recorded for Cassie’s sophomore album, tentatively titled Electro Love has leaked. No wonder on production credits, but it’s definitely in the same vein of the other pop/dance records that Cassie has recorded for the new album. Currently, they are promoting the single “Let’s Get Crazy,” featuring Akon and a video is said to bein the works.

LeToya Luckett – Don’t Let Me Get Away (full) – listen
With the success of LeToya’s much awaited sophomore album from fans, it seems that she’s been basking in the success and the all-of-the-sudden huge promotional blitz. Here’s an iTunes bonus track from Lady Love entitled “Don’t Let Me Get Away.” I can see why it was left off the album. Although the song is solid, something about it seems a bit unfinished, with some empty spots.

Jay-Z – Ghetto Techno (full) – listen
Months ago last year, Jay-Z and Timbaland made an announcement that for his new album, The Blueprint 3, Tim would be producing the helm of the album and that it would have a more “worldy” sound. And if by “worldly,” they mean “pop,” Timbaland and Jay-Z definitely achieved their goal with this track, “Ghetto Techno,” that is an outtake from the album. Since then, it was been found that Timbaland will not produce the majority album, which hits stores on September 11th.

    Love Amarie, I actually love about 99% of the songs she comes out with.

  4. ♥♥PEACHEZZZ♥♥

    I DON’T THINK TIMBALAND WAS A GOOD CHOICE FOR PRODUCTION ON BP3. I GUESS SOMEONE ELSE REALIZED IT TOO.

  5. laylah

    love that amerie song!
    jay and letoyas is aight
    blah@ cassie

  6. JUS MY SWAG

    Did Cassie’s album even come out yet?? I wonder who is really checking for her ass like that. She so boring music wise and personality wise ugh.

  7. Jenny

    I feeling the cassie track

  8. CEEYA

    CASSIE IS SO WACK NEXXXT

    LOVE AMERIE
    LOVE LETOYA

    JAY-Z IS AIGHT

  9. sam I am

    Like Letoya but as of now she will not move more than about 40,000 albums this week.

  10. JUS MY SWAG

    @9.

    Girl let’s hope she do more than that. At least 70,000 the first week would be a good start. I bought her album on Itunes and I’m really just hoping this album does good.

  11. sam I am

    @jusmyswag hitsdaily is hardly ever wrong so I hope this gets better.

  12. DJ

    That Amerie track is fire. The chanting part is serious! Lil Wayne wasn’t needed, but if it helps the single along I guess it’s for the best.

  13. FARFRUMWACK

    Fuck all of these Have yall hear Keshia Chante new song shes the girl thats playing Aaliyah in the new biopic about her life. Check it out on Youtube the song is called I Hope You Cry.

  14. Cory

    I love Amerie, can’t wait for her new album. LeToya’s album is pretty solid, but nobody is really checkin for her this time around. She didn’t have a big enough hit for the album for people to run out & buy it. “Torn” was a HUGE R&B/Urban record that everone was in love with, including radio…can’t say the same about her 2 singles from this album.

    Cassie, I have no words for her. Last time I made a comment about her It wasn’t posted. LMAO, so I’m not gonna say anything at all.

    I’m looking forward to the Blue Print 3, I love “Run This Town”.

  15. kolopo

    THat AMERIE SONG!!C GOODGOD!!

  16. Selenaa

    Amerie is shooting the vid for that songg tonight out here in cali..out in the dessert

    yll the vid is HUGE

  17. Oh Hot Damn

    I’m gonna hear Cassie’s and Jay-Z’s songs right now….

  18. Oh Hot Damn

    Ghetto Techno: Don’t really like it. Jay-Z gots to stick to Gangsta Rap.
    Can You Feel Me: Hot dance song. The hook and the beginning production of the kinda sucks. It sounds like Super Mario.

  19. GirlBye

    Still not feeling that Amerie track..Cassie need to stop, why is she relevant again? Oh cuz she effing Diddy..Letoya song is aight I see why didn’t make the album..Jay-Z song is aight

  20. Kyla

    Amerie: Only like Lil Wayne’s verse – and I’m not a big Lil Wayne fan. I only like one Amerie song and it’s an olderrr tune, not a fan of Amerie at all! What is she even singing about in this song?

    Cassie: Ugh! Why does she always sound so dead and boring in her songs? ‘Official Girl’ is the most upbeat song I’ve heard her sing. I haven’t heard all her songs so I don’t know if she has many upbeat songs but the one’s I have heard are whack. She sounds bored when she sings.

    LeToya: I kinda like it!

    Jay-Z: Hmm, not sure about this one .. maybe if I heard it a few more times. Love Jay though!

  21. CIARA BIGGEST FAN

    CASSIE NEED TO SIT DOWN WITH HER NONE SINGING A$$ DOWN SO I LOOK AT HER LIKE DREAM AN CHRISTINA MILLIAN WATS THE DIFFERENT DIDDY NEED TO LER HER KNOW SHE IS NOT THE $H!T AN ONE MORE THING WHO TOLD AMERIE THATS SHE WAS HOT HER AN CASSIE IN THE SAME BOAT TO ME

  22. WTF?!

    Love the LeToya song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  23. MB

    That Amerie joint is the business!!

  24. Anya

    Geesh. Cassie REALLY cannot sing.

    I know she gets hated on all the time, but I now see why. She’s really, really bad.

    The problem honestly is her voice. Her songs are actually good, but her voice is just awful. She sounds like a whiny first grader begging the teacher to go to the bathroom.
    I mean listen to Amerie, she’s not a great singer, but at least her voice is tolerable.

    I just don’t get it. Aubrey O’ Day was on the Wendy Williams show saying how Diddy made them rehearse 8 hours a day, and go through all of these intense singing lessons and conditioning…….what does he do with Cassie?

    I don’t know her personally, and I don’t know what her relationship with Diddy is like, but how can she still be signed to his label if she isn’t involved with him romantically. He denies it, but seriously her last hit came out four years ago and I doubt her CD has yet gone platinum and she sounds awful in her studio tracks .There is no other logical explanation for her to still have a record deal….

  25. Olivia

    Cassie and Hiedi Montag should do a duet together. That would be priceless. They’re both attention whores and that would get them plenty of attention.
    The Amerie song isn’t bad.
    I like the Letoya Luckett song.

  26. Chrystal

    I like the Letoya Song the best. The Cassie song is ok. I didnt like the Amerie song. Amerie needs to find a style and market it. Cuz I feel like she’s good but nothing about her is captivating. Jay Z can do no wrong in my eyes unfortunately. Even tho his song is ok.

  27. yes

    LeToya’s song was nice, Amerie’s blah, Cassie’s sounds like the music she should be doing, that dance type stuff where u dont actually have to know how to sing

  28. FayfrmBK

    I love the Amerie song with or without wayne…letoya song is aiight…cassie..the songs are nice but her voice is so flat and uninspiring that it brings down the song’s value…I am extremely disappointed in what I’m hearing so far from BP3..jay can come WAY better than that ghetto techno crap

  29. Cedricccc

    Fashoo im checkin for Cassie’s music. You can continue to hate but she aint goin nowhere so might as well get over it.

  30. Outlook

    Amerie- Has one sound she sing in other keys? I listen to one song from her and felt like I listen to the whole damn cd.

    Cassie- I didn’t bother the title and itself speaks to me because I DONT FEEL YOU AT ALL shave the other side of your head.

    Letoya- Yes, Love the album better then the first one

    Jayz- AHHHH normally retirement means you go away enjoy your funds coming out of retirement as if your saving hip hop NO!

  31. msblknasty1

    wtf jay you can do waaaaaaaaaaay better than this …. what is he tryna prove … love run this town and the song with fab…. latoya i like it ….. cassie go finish kissin diddy ass …. amerie eh…..

  32. nerd

    yay, are some really cassie hater. The girl is mad talented. Yah her voice isn’t as strong, but it different in a good way. I personality like it, because it isn’t mainstream like some fake artists today stealing peoples hits. Cassie, is a really humble and mellow person. You got admire her how all haters like to hate, but she still keep it cool.

    As for Letoya her album was solid, to bad she didn’t promote as much.

    And Amerie I love the song very African musical inspire, I can see this song a hit in the club. And with little wayne verse add make it even better. Hopefully she decide to use the remix as the official version and it possible can help her sales. Amerie is definitely a underrated artists. She always bring something new and always new hot dance tracks.

    And for Jay Z he can sit down with Beyonce……. They are so overrated. I respect their talents, but they just too damn overrated and they think their the shit.

  33. OMG Everything

    Amerie- I don’t like the song because i don’t like her voice. She onlt has one vocal range therefore all her songs end up really flatt.

    Cassie-I’m don’t dislike Cassie, but this song is all wrong. If she ever wants to make a come back, she needs a song like, “Official Girl or Me and You”

    LaToya-Her song is HOT!!! and so is her CD

    Jayz-I didn’t listen to it. but its Jayz so I kinda know what to expect

  34. Aries_BLU

    Amerie – I guess I previously heard this song minus Lil Wayne before. It’s an ok song, and I’m sure it will have a bigger effect in the club as people say, or where ever else, but I personally like Why R U better. For some reason people were not feeling that song, but I can bump it all day.

    Cassie – I guess there is a market for this, and she is trying to hit it. But whenever I hear most of her songs that I can bare, she just sounds uninspired. She sounds the same in all of her songs – no variety, no tonal change. A song of hers that I really do like though is the I’m guessing Dream penned Nobody But You. That’s about the only song of her’s that I have on my Zune. But I’m sure this song will do well at a rave techno party.

    Letoya Lucker – This is a chill mellow with a strong main beat. I’m feeling itt I’m not sure if it would be a favorite, but it’s a solid effert, and I’m glad that it is going to be a bounus, because some people are really going to love it. I just hope that she and Amerie come hard, because they are two people that I am really going to be rooting for.

    Jay Z – Didn’t even bother to listen to it – I’ll pass,

  35. Aries_BLU

    * Luckett

    and . not ,

  36. theComplex

    Hmm…

    - Amerie – I dont like the original so Im not even going to listen to the remix
    - Cassie – it’s ehh… nothing to rave about, but atleast you can barely hear HER
    - Letoya – The albums on point and this bonus is no different. Great body of work.
    - Jay-Z – I love this track. I wonder why it’s not on BP3.

  37. CHICKAA

    I love all the Amerie songs i hear

  38. Peacekeeper

    I like Amerie’s song. LeToya’s song is nice too.

    The comment about Cassie being “mad talented” must have been from a Bad Boy employee.

  39. darklove

    i really love amerie and this song!!!! Why R U was my fave though

  40. hmmm

    wtf? Cassie go sit down love u ain’t needed in music cuz u ain’t bringing nuffin’ at all, for me to buy ur album u’ll need to do more than just shaving one side of ur hair and effin’ Diddy, just give it up and concentrate on modelling or carry on giving Diddy all ur energy…
    Jay-z ur my boy and am still hoping that BP3 is gonna be fiya but until now i ain’t feeling the heat already. Looooooooove Letoya’s song and Amerie’s aight

  41. Tiff.Will. [TIFFANY.WILLIAMS]

    I thought Jay-Z’s song was skipping..lol..I LOVE HIM!

    I don’t care about anyone esle. At all.

  42. neon

    amerie- though i like her (she’s obviously an intelligent girl- Georgetown grad- and has been true to herself throughout her career), i don’t like the song

    cassie- the dance clubs might like this actually

    jay- hate it

    letoya- never cared for her

  43. Real

    The review about Letoya’s song was way off base! I think the song fits the album perfectly and is one of the hottest joints on her CD!!!!

  44. kimie

    LeToya’s new album, LADY LOVE, is so damn hot! i freaken love it. I’ve been listening to the album non-stop since getting it. Go out and buy the album!!

  45. omg

    OMG OMG OMG!! WHY DOES CASSIE HAVE A RECORD DEAL?? There is something about her voice that is sooooooooooooooooo boring!!! It’s so flat and she sounds bored. There is nothing in her voice its like she is half dead. There are bad singers out but come on they all have something she does not have. That is personality in their voice. With dance songs Ciara and Rihanna can at least get you pumped. Cassie will have me falling asleep even with a dance track. I don’t understand.

  46. KEM

    #46 is so right about cassie.. I agree with every word.. it’s her VOICE. It’s just barely there and she DOES sound bored. Like she’s barely moving her mouth.. very lazy sound..

    Letoya is off the DAMN CHAIN. Seriously y’all her album is soo good. People are always complaining about there not being enough uptempos.. but Her voice really shines on the mids and ballads. She ain’t tryna be somethin she not. We all know she can tear up a club record like on her first album, but she didn’t want to go that route.. Plus with all that techno/dance stuff goin on folks would be callin her “dated” if she came with the H-Town sound again. “SWAGGER” is still the biz tho!

  47. KEEPING IT 100

    Amerie- I love the song but I’m still not convinced that the album is worth buying.

    Cassie- No matter what Cassie sings she sounds so dull and boring. Her tone never changes EVER. When I heard the beat I was like ok, I like but when I heard her voice I was like umm does she know this is a club song?

    LeToya- Letoya got straight haters. Whoever said ppl are not feeling her umm STFU! You must be lame living under a rock. She is ready to kill the game. Her song Regret stays on the radio so what is yall talking about??

    Jay Z – This is so Kanye. What is the Z trying to accomplish this time around?

  48. a4amazn

    like the amerie track. :)

  49. FAB MELLO

    As long as Amerie stays away from writing her own songs her career will be alright,she isn`t a good songwriter, for the rest of her career she would do well to imitate JZ, who only works with the music industry`s top producers,Cassie,I just don`t get it,other than having a pretty face I really don`t see any real talent to justify the hype she`s gotten.

  50. kaykay

    I like the Amarie song–don’t know how clubby it is but I like it

  51. bad gurlll

    Ever wonder why Cassie gets so much hate? She isn’t the only artist without a strong voice out here… But she’s one of the youngest and the haters give her a LOT more than her share of drama. Ever think that some of you who might actually HAVE a nice voice or bit of talent are mad? Mad because this chick is doing something some of you can’t do without hitting the blogs. She stays heard. Whatever it is that u have negative to say about this girl – you’re still talking about her. That’s the point. Who’s talking about YOU? You ask who’s checking for her?? Hell, evidently YOU are. You keep her name in your mouth. Leave the girl alone and let her do her thing. If it’s not meant to be then time will tell that. The more time u waste on trying to knock her down the less time u spend on pulling yourself up. And why is her personal business so interesting to everyone? Is it maybe beause some of those who’re “checking” for her wouldn’t give most of you “i wanna be a blogger when i grow up…” chicks the time of day? Sit down.

  52. HALF AMAZIN

    Cassie, my heart aches for you :( Girl, stop.

  53. BROWNSKINLDNGIRL

    CASSIE WHY U MAKE MY EARS BLEED DIS SONG IS HORRID!!…THIS IS A BEYONCE AND RHIANNA WORLD!

  54. fools

    @52.

    Girl shut up! Her name AND SONG is on there therefore people will have an opinion. I’m so sick of people coming on here talking about haters. EVERYONE HAS AN OPINION. It aint just that she can’t sing. She lacks excitement and overall attitude in her voice. You don’t have to be able to sing to have attitude in your voice. But it will make people want to listen. Name one singer that sounds as quiet and bored as Cassie does on a dance track. She definitely needs to train just to be a mediocre singer. She aint even mediocre yet.

  55. Bella

    Loving the Amerie track it’s the bomb! I heard the video is going to be amazing can’t wait.
    The Letoya cut is good too I like it a lot I’m shocked it’s not on the album
    The Jay Z track not feeling it at all.
    Cassie’s track not my cup of tea either.

  56. Ben4UNYC

    Amerie’s cut owns this section!
    Letoya’s cut is ok.
    The rest I’m not feeling them at all.
    Sorry

  57. bvarney

    jay z shit is awsome!!!!!!!!! cant wait for new albulm fuck you idiot haters!!! you aint fly enough to bump to this shit, our your ass is way to fat you might break somthing!

  58. Bobby
