♫ Keri Hilson – Hurts Me (full) – listen
Another track for Keri’s In A Perfect World… sessions has leaked, titled “Hurts Me.” I really love the sound of this song, it really would have been a great addition to the album. If I’m not mistaken, Candice Nelson of The Clutch can be heard on background vocals and has co-writing credits on the track.
♫ Day26 – Get Away Girl (full) – listen
I’ve yet to be really wowed by anything that has leaked from these new Day26 efforts for their new album, Forever In A Day (love that album title – it reminds me of Prince’s Around the World In A Day). But I was intrigued by the simple, futuristic sound of the production (credits to Roy Hamilton) on this new track, “Get Away Girl.” I love the simplictiy of the hook too. Forever In A Day is set to hit shelves next month, April 14th.

♫ Keri Hilson – Quicksand (full) – listen
Check out this bonus track from Keri Hilson. It didn’t make the debut album, In A Perfect World…, which hit stores today. “Quicksand” was produced by Danjahandz, who Keri works with on the album and has co-production credits on her hit single, “Turnin’ Me On,” with Polow Da Don. This song could have very well fit on the album, but I can definitely see how it was left off.
♫ Mario – Live A Lie (full) – listen
Mario announced a minute ago that he was working on his fourth studio album, a follow-up to 2007′s Go! Mario’s first album is my favorite from his albums, but I actually like this direction for him. His voice sounds like it’s maturing, and he has also mentioned scaling down the producers he works with so that his album can have a more cohesive sound. Good for Mario.
