THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW

Lloyd – Naked (full) – listen
With an album just a couple of weeks away for release, no one can stay shy of leaks. Check out the latest material from Lloyd’s fourth studio album, King of Hearts, titled “Naked.” The track was produced by none other than Dr. Dre. King of Hearts is slated to hit stores July 5th.

Mario – Bermuda (full) – listen
R&B crooner Mario has been laying low since the release of his last album, D.N.A. back in 2009, but insisted that his next project would be a cohesive batch of material, crafted by a few producers with whom he’s had great chemistry with over the years. No official word on when the album will drop, but here’s a bit of material, “Bermuda,” that maybe from those sessions.

Joe – Almost There (full) – listen
Joe is currently at work on his ninth studio album, The Good, The Bad, The Sexy, which is slated to hit stores August 16th. It hasn’t been confirmed whether or not the new track, “Almost There” will appear on the album, but it’s nice to get a gauge on new material.
