MUSIC NEWS: USHER REVEALS NEW ALBUM TITLE / LIL’ WAYNE SUFFERS ANOTHER DELAY / LETOYA LUCKETT’S ALBUM PUSHED BACK

All these artists are getting back to the drawing board really quickly this time around. Usher, who made us wait years in between releases of his last albums, is already gearing up for release of his follow-up to last year’s Here I Stand.

The new project is set to be titled Monster. Now, with a title like that, I am definitely expecting a beast. Usher better come hard this time around, because the last album left me a little bit cold.

LIL’ WAYNE SUFFERS ANOTHER DELAY

Weezy fans are going to have to wait a little bit longer for Lil’ Wayne’s rock effort, Rebirth, which has been pushed back to July 21th from it’s original June 23rd date.

Lil’ Wayne, who is about to go on tour again, is still in the studio, recording tracks for the album. Rebirth, lead by the single “Prom Queen,” will feature cameos from Young Money artist Shanell, Fall Out Boy, Kevin Rudolf and Avril Lavigne. Should be interesting.

LETOYA LUCKETT’S ALBUM PUSHED BACK

The much-awaited sophomore solo LP from former Destiny’s Child bandmate LeToya Luckett, which was also originally slated for release on June 23rd is also being subject to delays.

Lady Love is now to hit shelves on August 25th. LeToya’s album has seen a few delays over the past couple of months. But fans can expect to see a second video from LeToya with her new single, the Cory Bold-produced “She Ain’t Got Shit On Me,” in the near future.

♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

♫ Ciara – Like A Surgeon (full) – listen
Here’s a new track from Ciara’s new album, Fantasy Ride. With all the material that leaked, it seems they’ve been able to get keep some under wraps before it’s release date on May 5th. “Like A Surgeon” was a track written by none other than The Dream and although this is a great song for Ciara, it definitely gives me an Aaliyah vibe.

♫ Lil’ Wayne feat. Kevin Rudolph – Spit (full) – listen
This track has a more rock influence than Lil’ Wayne’s other rap songs, but seems a lot less rock than the material that he recorded for The Rebirth, which was originally supposed to drop this month, but has been moved to a June 16th release date. From what I’ve heard, they’re just fine-tuning some things to make the album just right. However, I do not think the Kevin Rudolph-assisted “Spit (In Your Face)” will be making the cut. I’m glad too, because I think that Wayne has some more convincing “rock” material to put out on this album.

MUSIC NEWS: LETOYA LUCKETT SETS RELEASE DATE / AMERIE ALBUM NEWS / ADRIENNE BAILON SIGNS WITH DEF JAM

Even though LeToya Luckett had never given a solid release date for her sophomore project, the follow-up to her 2006 debut, LeToya, fans have been waiting on her new album since late 2007. But with the single, “Not Anymore” picking up radio play and the video is getting lots of love, it now it seems that Lady Love is slated for release on June 23rd.

LeToya has also begun to prepare the new song “Regret” as her second single. A sampler has also been floating around online of a few tracks from Toya, so be on the look out for new music soon.

AMERIE ALBUM NEWS

R&B songstress Amerie recently joined a deal with Def Jam, after being signed to Columbia Records so long. Even though fans knew of her new deal with Def Jam, there was little information about her new project, but it seems as though Amerie has confirmed some information via her Twitter page.

Amerie is titling her fourth studio album, Break Ups to Make Ups and is looking release sometime this summer, either in June or July.

“As an artist, what I want more than anything is for you to feel where I’m coming from, for you to FEEL,” Amerie tweeted. “I don’t know how to put it any other way.”

Amerie is currently in the studio recording with producer Warryn “Baby Dubb” Campbell, and is rumored to have worked with Bangladesh and Pharrell. I’m interested to see what Amerie will offer this time around. Although I wasn’t as a big a fan of her last album, Because I Love It…, Amerie has definitely knocked out some hits on her debut and sophomore sets.
