THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

=

Ester Dean – Backwards (full) – listen
Although she’s been working on an album of her own, Ester Dean is best known for giving Rihanna her signature sound with songs like, “Rude Boy,” “What’s My Name,” and “You Da One.” So, when songs like “Backwards” leak, it’s no telling whether or not the tracks are works of Ester’s own, or if she’s crafting hits for others.

Teyana Taylor feat. Chris Brown – Push Me Up (full) – listen
Teyana Taylor hasn’t been heard from on the music front lately, but while in Los Angeles, she has taken several sessions with Chris Brown, including the one for this Brian Kennedy-produced track, “Push Me Up.” It’s been a long time coming for Teyana’s album, do you think that we’ll be hearing more from her in 2012?

Lloyd – Playboy Centerfold (full) – listen
Lloyd recently released his latest album, King of Hearts, but is also known for being a pro in the studio, knocking out countless songs. “Playboy Centerfold” is some leftovers from previous sessions, produced by Miami natives, The Runners.

Katy Perry feat. B.O.B. – The One That Got Away (Remix) (full) – listen
Although she already released a video for it, Katy Perry is doing what it takes to get another #1 single out of her last album, Teenage Dream. She’s added Atlanta native, B.O.B. into the mix to see if the duo’s got what it takes to top the charts one more time on this last single.

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.

THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

Mya – Somebody Come Get This Bitch (full) – listen
Mya is scheduled to release the deluxe version of her album, K.I.S.S. in the United States on December 20th, even though it’s been out overseas since April. Interestingly enough, this new song, “Somebody Come Get This Bitch,” was not included on the first release. Not that it’s different for Mya, because she’s never been afraid to get a little explicit.

K. Michelle – Life Changing (full) – listen
More and more material continues to leak from K. Michelle and her forthcoming album, Pain Medicine. Although she’s managed to garner some fans and keep people interested with her mixtape releases, it seems like it’s taking forever to get her debut project out. Hopefully, with the Jive, Epic and RCA merger, we’ll get something solid from K. Michelle by the top of the year.

Bobby V feat. Meek Mill & 2Chainz – Drop It (full) – listen
Bobby V released his album, Fly On the Wall just this year, but is already preparing a fifth studio album, entitled V5. Check out the brand new track, “Drop It,” featuring Meek Mill and 2Chainz, produced by duo Nard & B.

Bow Wow – Knock It Off (full) – listen
Cash Money signee Bow Wow has had a few delays when it’s come to releasing his seventh studio album, Underrated, and he’s told us that we’re gonna have to wait until 2012 while he gets his material together. The problem, he claims, is that there’s too much good music to choose from. Check out “Knock It Off,” produced by Jahlil Beats.

THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

Chris Brown – Wait For You (full) – listen
Chris Brown is already working on a new album, a follow-up to his latest album, Fame, entitled Fortune. He already released a first single, “Strip,” and considering how often Chris is in the studio writing and recording, it’s no telling whether or not this new track, “Wait For You,” will be featured on the album.

Brandy – Silent Night (full) – listen
This track got posted a little while ago, but here’s the final version of Brandy’s track, “Silent Night,” produced by Kadis & Sean. Brandy is presently in the studio working on the follow up to her last album, Human. No word on the album title or a solid date, but Brandy has been Ustreaming with Sean Garrett, and hopes to release a single at the top of 2012.

Kevin Cossom – Where You Are (full) – listen
Kevin Cossom has been trying to boost his visibility. Doing interviews and tracks leaking, and he also mentioned that he’s working on a second mixtape, Hook vs. Bridge 2. Check out this new track entitled “Where You Are.” Not positive on who the producer is, considering that Kevin’s relationships with several producers, given his influence as a writer, is great.

Pleasure P – More (full) – listen
Former Pretty Ricky member Pleasure P is working on his sophomore album, Pleasure Principles. Here’s a brand new track, “More,” produced by hitmaker Jim Jonsin, who has been responsible for some huge hits over the past couple of years. Still no solid release, but P hopes to drop his album next year.
