Nice!
Interesting Snippets..she always did come a lil different
I will be buying this CD…
She is so underrated. All the songs she has ever come out with are hot to me… Love her
This is going to flop (as they all did) either because of her voice or the album format or both. The first four are so similiar in sound and vocals you lose interest after Pretty Brown, which it is all downhill from there. She tries too hard and she should experiment more with production and definitely her vocals.
Nice work! I have always loved Amerie… Copped all her albums and would definitely get this one!
Honestly I listened to all of the snippets and I’m just not feelin it. Tho it tends to get better towards the 2nd half of the album…All of her recent material sounds the same and I just can’t see nor hear myself listening to this in my car or house. I love Amerie to death tho! I’m rootin for her, but I’m not supporting this album this time around.
Could someone explain her album cover?
I LIKE THE ALBUM, DANGEROUS IS hott
This is like the 5th Flopper CL is promoting 2day.
not gonna read the album review!
She’s gonna Flop and just doesn’t have it! NEXT! —–>>
I like Heard Em All, Pretty Brown, and Red Eye. I’m not really feeling this album, best of luck to her though. I guess I will continue to play her first two cd’s.
IM GOING TO COPE IT I REALLY LIKE IT. COME ON PEOPLE SOOO SUCK ON THE SAME STUFF. ALOT OF DANCE TUNES. HEARD’EM ALL IS THE JAM.
Whoever is picking singles at Def Jam needs to be fired (LA Reid?) That video was uncalled for! SMH And she is about to get pushed aside by Rihanna yet again. Damn Amerie, Def Jam was not the way to go.
Pretty Brown and Different People are really good though.
zzzzzzzzz………agreeing with #9- FlopCITY!!!!
Def Jam- Why did yall sign Amerie again? Amerie give it up!!!
amerie is underrated like a lot female singers who can really sing and perform hopefully with this album she can get the recognition she derserves…i love her and her style she is different and innovative….
BOOO!! Can someone please revoke her contract, oh wait, THEY ALREADY DID!! Please bitch retire and go about being a Secretary for a low income firm or something cause ya music is an embarrassment to the industry
I’m definitely buying Amerie’s new Cd. Including Melanie Fiona and Sade’s new CD. Christmas is going to be good this year
lmfao @ #15….They just signing anybody these days, her couple of albums didnt sell, What did yall think was going to change????
@ #7 SHAY
The album cover is like good vs evil. You see how the left side is kinda dark and the right side is bright. It goes good with the title In Love & War.
****This is just my personal interpretation of the cover****
I’m listening to Different People and the Flowers. I need more than these snippets….I need the album! lol
I felt like I was listening to a long long disco track.The songs to damn similar and with Rihanna coming out she going to get out shined.I wish the best.
NONE! they say dnt fix it if iss not broken
buh her system obviously needs to be repaired.
i see no growth from her it all sounds too similar
from her other works. c’mon now Amerie come harder
start frm scratch and come harder!
I will be coping this album!!! Amerie always puts out a solid album just like haters always hate!
Just be honest with yourself! You like to hate on Amerie, won’t buy her album but I bet when Nov3 it will be on your ipod mysteriously lol yall not fooling nobody, undercover Amerie listeners.
Her music is NOT an embarrassment to the industry. There is WAYY more artist out there that are MUCH, MUCH worst. This is not a bad album however it will flop like hell once it comes out. She needs to push the date back to at least give it a chance for more promotion. Not saying it will work but hey it’s worth giving it a shot. I say shoot for early Dec. release if not…..oh well.
@Shay
From this photo and the couple of other ones that I’ve seen the album cover is supposed to represent her transformation into a higher state of consciousness or goddesshood. This is why she is a stylized butterfly and half her body is blurred. The picture represents her in the midst of her illumination. She has submitted to the Baphomet and the industry will look out for her by having her make appearances at parties, opening for popular artists, and sitting at the front row of modeling shows. It’s proof that exposure and fame have NOTHING to do with talent and album sales. In alot of the pictures I’ve seen for this album, there are drawings of lions, leopards, and cheetahs. That is to denote that she is an industry sex toy a.k.a. sex kitten or M.K. Ultra “kitten programming”. This is also why Michael Jackson posed on the cover of his “Thriller” album with a tiger cub, and why the tiger was in the “Billie Jean” video. He also was a sex slave to the record executives. Amerie’s debut video for this album was highly masonic.
only Pretty Brown….
Not your typical r&b fluff. THANK YOU MISS AMERIE!!! “higher,” “more than love,” and “different people” most def stand out to me. i just hate how underrated amerie is. it’s a damn shame that some other mediocre stars (won’t say any names) get more shine than she does when this is someone who is clearly delivering the good music.
and even if this album does flop, at least it won’t be to the material being weak. you can blame poor promotion for that. i’ll be in line to support! get it A!!!
She will be flip-flopping north, south, east, west, up and down the charts..again. LMAO.
And..Umm..THAT’S the album cover! *Giggles*. I thought that was a fan made wallpaper..double fail.
She doesn’t have “it” and I don’t know how many flopping albums and singles she needs for her to realize this. It’s quite sad actually. Ah well..whatever floats her boat.
@Shavonne
I actually agree. HOWEVER..you need to realize that people like RIHANNA (I know that’s who you’re referring to) are manufactured artist who are made up to be someone that they naturally are not. And that’s the problem. A good fraction of Rihanna’s fans love her because of her edgy look and daring outfits..but..what they don’t seem to realize and/or ignore is the fact that she is apart of none of that. Why not be a fan of the real people behind her appearance..her makeup artists, stylists and so on. Quite frankly, these people will not be riding Rihanna forever. So when her true colors start reflecting her career will take a nose dive..trust.
People are a fan of someone that is MADE UP. She is basically not even real. But what she does know is that fools like “them” find dressing like a total moron as some how appealing and/or cute. When her stylists leave her or her style begins getting repetitive people will get bored. Now what does she have? Talent isn’t it either. That will lead to her downfall.
At the end of the day..It would be better to have a mediocre career (Amerie) and have it stay that way (because she does have her # of fans) rather than having a hot career for a few years and be a total fail from there on. You can only be a poser for so long. Don’t worry..her time will come.
I still love that album cover. I like a few of the songs but I would have to hear the whole songs a couple times to really decide whether or not I’m feeling the album.
Amerie it was nice knowing you but this album is not your saving grace.
I like the cover. As far as the music…I can’t say if I’m feeling it or not yet…I’m going to need to hear the full songs before a judge.
@ 28.
YOU STILL MAD @ RIHANNA?? WHEN WILL YALL GET OVER IT?? UNLESS YOU GONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT PLEASE STFU!!!
i’m honestly not feelin any of the tracks and its a shame cos her first album was the shiiiiiii her second album was good too but it went downhill from there
I must say that I am extremely disappointed with this album! IT IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! love Amerie, she’s one of my musical inspirations, but she’s fallen off so badly over the years! The only track that I’m feeling is Red Eye. All of her uptempo songs soung like cheap GOGO music and have too much of the same drum and horn vibe. It sounds like James Brown 50′s meets R&B 90′s. WTF? She went all over the place with this album. Her voice is so high and annoying. How many times do I have to comment “Amerie needs to stop singing too high and sing in a lower tone like she did in her first album, “All I Have???” This album has no real concept at all. And it damn sure doesn’t match that album cover or the title. Looking at that album cover I would expect more deep, emotional R&B ballads and contemporary R&B/hip-hop bassy beats that will get you moving in the club. This just doesn’t do it for me and it’s a shame because she really is talented and has stayed true to herself.
ew at Tiff Tiff (tiff will), ur hate is showing much!
I love Amerie cause she makes music for her fans, she ain’t tryna be no IT girl.
I hate 20-30 second snippets cause it is hard to judge the songs
Love most of it, not feelin Dear John.
Hmmm… I’m a definite Amerie fan because I think her debut “All I Have” was one of the best contemporary R&B albums of this decade. I’m also one in the minority that actually liked her first single from this album “Why R U.” However, after listening to each of these snippets 3x, I think it’s just not in the cards for Ms. Amerie. I think her best work was with her original collaborator, Rich Harrison. I do like Bryan-Michael Cox’s contribution with “Red Eye”, however. That likely will be the only single I download.
Ummm and damn the songs on this album are mostly about the hard times in relationships, only happy one so far is Red Eye
Amerie seems like a nice enough girl, but this is mostly bad. The production gets better with the second half but i can’t bare to listen to her vocals. They’re all over the place. I’m really not sure where her place is within the industry. Maybe she can be an actress or something.
I LIKE IT!!!! I realized that people on these blogs are very harsh…this is her life she put alot of work into this…and to call somebody a bitch just because you dont like their work is horrible…lol…people arent satisfied….they never will be….I hope you all find peace within yourselfs because some of yall sound miserable with life!!!!
TIFF WILL rarely has anything nice to say about anyone but then the comments are always wrapped up in a nice condescending “it’s just my opinion im not a self loathing loser” box and bow. Such opinionated soap box book reports are kind of strange.
Amerie will you evolve already, its like you music is stuck in 98 or something
I like more than love, red eye, and maybe the flowers and swag back. I don’t love anything! Poor thing! She just can’t get it right. She changed her style up too much to be like everyone else. Her first CD was pretty good, but I guess R&B is dead these days. Better luck next time. I loved her, now her voice is just tired and she sound like she be straining.She is lame now and her voice is so freaking pitchy! Ugh!
at whoever no.42
wth u mean she tryna be like erbody else! Umm who else doing gogo (no 1 on gogo really), old school hip hop, rock (R&B artist don’t touch that), and of course mid-temp R&B soundin sh!t all in 1 album nowadays? Amerie don’t follow yall trends.
And yall n!ggas going hard off of 30 second snippets smh. wait til the whole album comes out.
no 43*
oopss mean 42 wtf yall playin wit it loop!
not feeling tell me u love me, but luv all the other songs. My fave ‘red eye’
some of the best artist “flop”
i like the sound of it from what i can hear. can’t wait for it to come out.
Not excited about her CD – as usual she only has 3 hot tracks out the whole CD – what a waste of time and money!! She has great voice, but she just hasn’t found the right songs that would be on over the top. Not excited at all and won’t be buying this CD.
#41, I rather Amerie stick with this sound than come out with the same techno/bubblegum pop music everyone is doing. Amerie is true to herself and her music (just like tons of great artist out there who don’t get any shine).
So people stop bringing up the record sales, image, and comparisons….and start listening to the music. This is this the reason why the artistry is gone, b/c of these teeny boppers. It wasn’t like that in the 90s
I like that Swag back song. Amerie makes good songs. I am not saying that she is the best singer in the world. But she has good beats and what she sings is cool too.
I like amerie, but I fear that she’ll flop due to lack of promotion. that’s been happenin’ 2 a lot of artists lately. I like amerie, she’s different.
Im a huge Amerie fan…really, I dig her style, I rock her first cd at least once every week… I was really unimpressed with the material from Because I Love It and thought it was a failed attempt at trying too hard to think outside of the box..A needs to really stick to what she does best..Smooth, mid to uptempo tracks with Rich’s production…I’m not overjoyed with these snippets, but i def dig some of the songs and will be purchasing to support her..She needs Rich back…If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it..Some people are just better in their own element..
Y’all are some fucking haters LLS!!!
Amerie trying to sound like everyone else?? HAVE U HEARD WHAT THEY PLAY ON THE RADIO?? WHATS HOT?? Amerie sounds NOTHING like that!!
Most of you must NOT be fans because if you knew anything about her as an artist. She LOVES Hiphop..not just ur trendy “IT” production hiphop…she loves the essence of hiphop! She does music she feels and it’s hiphop….not techno, trance, euro pop, electro pop or whatever U wanna call it. Amerie is like an underrated rapper..she gets respect believe it or not from her peers and others because of her artistry and loyalty to hiphop. She will NOT change it up to be the “IT” girl or musical trend of the moment.
Amerie is so much more than that and if you don’t see that and have not seen it since her debut…then why have U not moved on…she is irrelevant so why even comment?? Oh I know why…because some of the negative post are coming from the same lame ass poster….look at the wording…pathetic!
At the end of the day she is 10 years into the game with albums that SOLD gold and are certified GOLD one being certified Platinum now. Many awards, collabs and still in the business releasing her material that SHE WANTS TO RELEASE!!
I know why you’re mad!
The album will go nowhere, I love Amerie… but she’s BORING and she won’t experiment! Good luck to her!
CLICK MY NAME IF YOU WANT TO BEYONCE AND JAY-Z’S WEDDING PHOTOS THAT FINALLY HIT THE NET.
YOU HAVE 1 HOUR ONLY TO VIEW THESE.
This album sounds awful. It’s such a shame b/c I really like her. We get it, she likes percussions bud DAMN. Red Eye sounds hot and Heard Em All is nice. Everything else SNORE.
Amerie WTH happened? It has been downhill ever since your 1st album…
Red eye is dope.
higher is cool- the voclls from- herd em all sound like beyonce’s diva-none of them are really catchy- idk i never really got into her- all her music sound the same- correction i think swag back could be a hit
WEEZY Snaps on the remix of HEARDEM ALL TALK- that might be good
i trully feel that amerie is an underrated artist. seriously underrated. anyway, i cant wait to get my hands on this album cos it sounds like its really good. better than that swagger-jacker female called rih rih
