THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

December 16th, 2011

Ashanti feat. Busta Rhymes – The Woman You Love (full) – listen
Ashanti is back on the scene with a brand new single entitled, “The Woman You Love,” produced by Jerry Wonda. She has been hard at work on her fifth studio album, and it’s been nearly 4 years since the release of The Declaration, but she hopes to get the currently untitled project out in the first quarter of next year.

Young Jeezy feat. Jill Scott – Trapped (full) – listen
It took Young Jeezy a minute to get his new album, Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Motivation out, but it leaked yesterday, much to fans delight. A favorite that’s been floating around is the Jill Scott-assisted, “Trapped,” produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League. TM103 hits stores December 20th.

Chris Brown – Thinking Out Loud (full) – listen
Known for being relentless in the studio, Chris Brown has songs to leak all the time, namely because there are so many. Check out “Thinking Out Loud,” a song probably meant for his upcoming album, Fortune, a follow-up to F.A.M.E. Chris is currently promoting the new album with his new single, “Strip,” featuring Kevin McCall.

Brandy – Vibrate (full) – listen
Also known for cranking out several songs in the studio is Brandy. This track, “Vibrate,” rumored to be produced by Babyface a couple of years back, features her rap alter ego, BranNu. Check it out.

    I liked Young Jeezy & Brandy’s songs. I wasn’t able to listen to Chris Brown & Ashanti’s songs because neither song would play for me. The “Brandy” song sounds like a “Timbaland” production, not a “Babyface” production to me

    Ashanit, WOW!!!!!! Love it! Her first singles are always hot!!! Brandy, start over! I don’t know why she just won’t go back in the studio with Rodney Jerkins and give us a “Full Moon” or “Afrodisiac.” What is her damn problem? She’ll be damn 40 by the time she releases a killer album it seems and by that time, no one will really give a damn. She just continues to throw her career in the damn garbage!

    I really wish Brandy would have came out something original than sampling vibrant thing by q-tip…kind of disappointed at that. C.Breezy joint is aight. I couldn’t listen to Ashanti the link says its deleted(?) and I cant even look at Jeezy without cringing – why would I even want to listen to him.

    Why is Brandy’s alter ego working on a record when her primary self can’t release nothing good…just saying.

    Ashantiiiiiiiii ! Get em girl. This song is fire. That last album The Declartion was nice and she shows growth on each of her albums. Her 1st album still gets play but leaving the INC was the best decision ever. It sounds like she done hooked up with some good producers too. Those writing skills are always on point. If she releases an album with a bunch of songs on this level and some songs like the one on her 1st album then she got 2012.
