Brandy feat. Ne-Yo - Decisions (full) - listen
Another track from Brandy’s Human sessions leaked, and this time, it’s featuring Ne-Yo, which is really strange to me, because I didn’t even know they hit the studio together! This song intrigues me, because even though I simply adore Brandy’s voice, the track isn’t something that I’d expect for her to appear on. Brandy, however, is already back in the studio working on a sixth studio album.
London feat. Lil’ Wayne - B4 U Go (full) - listen
We recently did an artist spotlight on Universal Motown signee, London. Here’s his official first single, “B4 U Go,” featuring Lil’ Wayne. Hopefully this will give him the push that he needs to get this album out, considering that a lot of the material has leaked. London has been on the scene for quite sometime, so it’s good to see them giving him the green light with his project. The single features Wayne, so hopefully that helps out too.

Black Eyed Peas - I’mma Be (full) - listen
“I’mma Be” is the follow-up single for the Black Eyed Peas latest album, The E.N.D., which is set to drop this summer on June 9th. Their current single, “Boom Boom Pow” is doing well on the airwaves. I’m glad that BEP is back, making good dance music, but I was really looking forward to Fergie giving us a second solo studio album.
Lloyd - I Don’t Wanna Be That (full) - listen
Lots of Lloyd material has been leaking as of late. He didn’t release his third album, Lessons In Love that long ago, but it seems that they’re already back in the studio, grinding out tracks for his fourth studio album. The track was produced by none other than the talented Bryan-Michael Cox. Lloyd, to me, is really one of the only male R&B vocalist that has gotten any real love the past year, so perhaps he’ll knock out some hits again this time around.

Queen Latifah - Chainzzz (full) - listen
Check out this new track from Queen Latifah! I wasn’t expecting this from her, considering that her last two albums have been jazz albums. The new track, “Chainzzz” is taking a more pop direction, which I’m surprised by. I’m sure some fans were looking to hear Queen rapping again, but she’s still singing on “Chainzzz.” The track is the lead single from her forthcoming seventh studio album, Persona, due out July 7th. I’m interested to see what the rest of this material sounds like.
Jennifer Lopez - What Is Love (full) - listen
J. Lo was supposed to come out with a Greatest Hits album, and if I remember correctly, this track, “What Is Love,” which was originally tagged as being produced by Darkchild, was originally recorded and written by Wynter Gordon? In any event, I really liked the track when I heard the Wynter Gordon version, and Jennifer Lopez doesn’t sound half bad on the D’Mile-produced track either. Hopefully, this is the lead single from her Greatest Hits album.

♫ Wyclef & Shakira - The Border (full) - listen
The duo that brought you the 2006 smash, “Hips Don’t Lie” have reunited for a new single. Wyclef teams up with Shakira again for “The Border.” The new single was produced by Timbaland. I can definitely see this being huge for both of them again. Shakira is prepping her third English studio album. In addition to being in the studio with Timbaland, she has also been working with super-producer, Pharrell.
♫ Melanie Fiona - Island Boy (full) - listen
Melanie Fiona just debuted her first music video, so it’s only appropriate that some new material from her leaks so the fans can get a taste of what her debut album, The Bridge will sound like. Admittedly, this wasn’t really what I was expect from Melanie, especially after her first single, “Give It To Me Right.” Even though I think she has a sweet voice, I hope this isn’t the type of material they believe in the most. I’m sure The Bridge has more heat than this.

♫ Toni Braxton - Not A Chance (full) - listen
More material seems to be leaking from this upcoming Toni Braxton project. I am super excited about it, because I have always loved Toni and I am definitely digging all the new material that’s leaked from her. I hope that this is shaping up to be a good project, considering how slept on 2005’s Libra was. “Not A Chance” was produced by The Underdogs and actually sides like it could have appeared on her last album. I’m hoping some more solid information about the album surfaces soon.
♫ Lloyd - Do the Damn Thing (full) - listen
Lloyd released his latest album, Lessons In Love last year, but I’m hoping the leaking of this song means that Lloyd is gearing up for a new album. “Do the Damn Thing” is some new material that recently surfaced. It’s produced by J. Lack, Usher’s younger brother, who produced Lloyd’s hit single, “Get It Shawty!” from Street Love, as well as some other cuts of Lloyd’s. Perhaps we can get some insight soon to what he’s working on.

♫ Ciara - When I (full) - listen
“When I” is the iTunes bonus track for Ciara’s Fantasy Ride album, which drops May 5th! I’m actually not exactly sure why they decided to leave this track off the actual physical copy of the album, considering that it’s just as up to par with the other material that’s included on the album. It stays in the same pop/dance lane that Ciara’s material reflects on the album. It is actual more fresh than some of that older material that she has on the album.
♫ Dj Class ft. Kanye West & Estelle - I’m The Shit (full) - listen
DJ Class teamed up with Kanye for the club banger, “I’m the Shit” sometime last year. And if you’ve been to a club since then, you’ve probably heard this track during the Baltimore club mix set. But Estelle thought the song was so hot she had to jump on it. She sent this track to Concrete Loop via her Twitter page.

♫ Diddy feat. Yung Joc - Diddy Bop (full) - listen
Check out this new material from none other than Diddy. He’s been working diligently on his new album, Last Train to Paris. Although I don’t think that this track is making the cut on the album, Puff has been mentioning the “Diddy Bop” via his Twitter page. I’m sure there are some videos of him floating around in the studio doing the dance.
♫ Cassie - Not What Love Is (full) - listen
Cassie is currently working on her forthcoming sophomore project, which is slated to hit stores sometime at the end of the summer or early fall. It seems like material is leaking left and right, but she’s been working with a slew of people this time around, which is a lot different from the last album. As a matter of fact, not much material has had the Ryan Leslie on NextSelection brand attached to it. “Not What Love Is” is another song from the batch of tracks that have leaked from her sessions.
