THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

Macy Gray – Beauty in the World (full) – listen
Macy Gray is back with this lively, cheerful tune, the first single from her new album, The Sellout. Macy calls the album her best work to date, and this catchy track could do very well commercially. Can’t wait to hear that duet, though, with “legendary” Bobby Brown!

Ryan Leslie – When I Think about Love (I Do, I Do) (full) – listen
Ryan Leslie stays busy making music; the man released two albums last year and is expected to release another later this one. His debut was great, but Transition pretty much sucked and this new, unreleased track overshadows nearly everything from it.

Nappy Roots – In My Hometown (full) – listen
It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Nappy Roots. But this track, which makes perfect use of Adele’s “Hometown Glory”, would make for a great lead single for their new album, Pursuit of Nappyness, which hits stores April 20.

Ne-Yo – Drinks Up (full) – listen
Music has been leaking from Ne-Yo for a while now, and here’s the latest dedication to all the independent misses. No word on whether this will be included on his currently untitled fourth album, which is slated for release some time in August, but it should.

    I HIGHLY resent the statement that Ryan Leslie’s latest album sucked! That as well as the first one are dope albums that everyone slept on!

  11. READ DUMMIES

    ^^ Everyone slept on Ryan Leslie’s CD because it SUCKED.

    I hate zshare!! I always get a trojan virus from that site. I did again just now!!

    Ryan Leslie’s CD was OK, kinda redundant on lyric content. Its just the lead single wasn’t the best. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the song Rescue U.

    Love that Ne-yo joint! Can’t wait for his next album.

    The only one I took the time out to listen was Ryan’s and as always, it didn’t disappoint. I love him; he’s so talented!

    I liked the Ryan Leslie song best. But I’m a big fan of his and I thought both his CDs were good. Just that the lead single for Transition Not My Girl was bad and that’s probably why it didn’t sell.
