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.
Yo Amerie is gonna run this town wit that cut!
