THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

Usher – Stay Down (full) – listen
Usher material has been leaking left and right since his “buzz single,” “Papers” released a little while back. His sixth studio album, Raymond vs. Raymond, was originally slated to drop at the end of the year, but has moved back to March 1st, 2010, which may be for the best, considering all the leaks from Bangladesh and RedOne from these sessions. “Stay Down” was tagged as being produced by Nate “Danjahandz” Hill, but it’s also rumored that this track may be from his Here I Stand sessions.

Tiffany Evans – What’s Your Name (full) – listen
Tiffany was originally supposed to release her sophomore album, originally titled Ponytail Krush sometime this year, but a single never was presented to the masses. But it seems as though Tiffany has retooled the album, now titling it Ms. Tiffany, with a release sometime in 2010. Check out “What’s Your Name,” produced by Hit Boy for Surf Club, and written by newcomer, Siiren. I actually really like this song, it sounds like a great album opener.

HOT OR NOT: LIL’ WAYNE – “ON FIRE”


♫ Lil’ Wayne – On Fire

Lil’ Wayne releases his third single from his oft delayed rock album, Rebirth, which is now slated to hit stores December 21st, just in time for Christmas.

The new single is “On Fire,” produced by Miami-based duo, Cool & Dre. Honestly, this doesn’t compare to the other rock material (“Prom Queen, “Hot Revolver”) that Wayne has dropped. It sounds like his other songs from his rap albums, with just a guitar-driven track.
