Chrishan goes Hollywood!

2010-05-13T14:50:00.003-04:00

9.2/10

After releasing his debut album via Itunes about 6 months ago... Chrishan has been working on some newer material, specifically this leaked track "Hollywood". After hearing the past few songs that have leaked by Chrishan, it seems like he is pushing this "Futuristic" sound which complements his voice, as well as his flow. "Hollywood" is definitely a summer song with an eclectic feel and a catchy chorus. Hopefully Chrishan is working towards getting signed to a major record label and releasing his second LP, because this guy is going to be the future of R&B/Pop!

Usher Concerts/Tours...

2008-09-04T19:53:00.003-04:00

Straight from the Associated Press...

Usher will be having a tour for LADIES ONLY at 15 "intimate" venues.

Asked why he wanted to perform a "ladies only" tour, Usher said he relishes the challenge."There's only a few artists that can pull that off," said the 29-year-old singer. "I feel like I've had such a connection with my audience. This album, I felt like, was definitely the type of one that was more intimate. So what better way to get up close and personal than to make it all women?"

To go with the theme, Usher is also planning his own line of lingerie and men's undergarments. He already has a fragrance and cologne.

Usher is currently working on a video for his new single Trading Places.

Hmmm... Well, we're going to have to get a press pass or dress up as ladies... because we're going, ha! At leasthe'smaking the video for "Trading Places"!!!

LL Cool J Ft. Ryan Leslie

2008-09-04T12:32:00.003-04:00

New music from LL featuring Ryan Leslie: "Like a Radio". Spectacular beat(Wonder if its made by RL???). LL's verses are regular LL... not bad. He spits his non-shalant style throughout the entire track and allows RL to sing the catchy chorus... This song recieves a 8.5/10.0. The only thing I, personally, wouldhave done different is... Give Ryan Leslie his own verse or at least a decent size hook/bridge.

Mario: "Promise Land"

2008-07-23T23:46:00.003-04:00

A new Mario song has appeared all over the net titled "Promise Land". It's coming from his new studio album due out later this year/beginning of 2009. He is AMAZING on the track... His voice is literally on-key. He hits all the notes he's suppose to and more... He goes very high pitch, the hook is crazy, and the verses are rich. Hopefully his new album will get a lot of attention, sell a lot of records, and push Mario back to the tip-top of R&B!!! As long as it gets more attention, push, and publicity than "Go!"... which should have been one of the best R&B albums of the year (was in our opinions...)

Usher's Supposed New Single

2008-07-22T13:39:00.003-04:00

Usher is lining up 'His Mistakes' as the third single to be lifted from his most recent album 'Here I Stand'. The song will be serviced to radio on August 18th. If I were Usher, I think I would have chose "Trading Places" as the next single... It's more Summer-Fall ish. Then again, I'm not Usher... He must have something in mind.

Trey Songz is "In Ya Phone"

2008-07-20T22:43:00.002-04:00

New joint from the R&B Crooner Trey Songz... "In Ya Phone" is both catchy and a shows a new direction for his upcoming album. The song sounds a bit like a track R. Kelly may have made... in a good way! Haha. We like this hypnotizing new track from Trey. Keep the good ones comin boyyy!!!

NEW OFFICIAL SINGLE BY NE-YO

2008-07-19T11:54:00.004-04:00

Ne-Yo stated officially on his blog YearOfTheGentleman.com that his new single is titled "Miss Independent". The song is an equisite summer jam put forth by one of the best in the game. The track compliments Ne-Yo's voice, vocal arrangements, direction, and lyrics. The song also shows his new intended direction with his album. Ne-Yo penned and rocked a winner with this song... Hopefully "Miss Independent" will carry Ne-Yo to a grand amount of sales his 1st week of sales: August 5th!!!

"You Never Let Me Down"

9.0/10.0
http://www.zshare.net/audio/1543086219d464c1/

Besides the repetitive-ness of the chorus... the song is great. he goes a bit T-Pain on us... which ultimately gets the song absolutely STUCK IN YOUR HEAD. I love the song... it's totally made for the radio and for remixes-galore. Deff. check the song out & leave your comment(s)!!!

London's "Sometimes"

London
"Sometimes"

9.4/10.0

http://www.zshare.net/audio/15372947d81e5744/

London's new fresh vibe to r&b is widely felt through the "blogosphere". His music is beginning to make tremors and push the bill for all r&b artists. With his new song "Sometimes", he shows his spectacular voice and vocal abilities. If he continues upon the road he's on now... Lloyd, Trey Songz, Mario Winans Jr, and many others better vamp up their playlist and upcoming albums!!! Keep watch for this new guy: London!!!

"Energy" Video by Keri Hilson!

2008-07-15T00:18:00.003-04:00

The official video for "Energy", Keri Hilson's first official single/video off her new album, is out! It's different then we would have thought but very original. She looks fierce as hell throughout the video. Watch the vid for the lowdown. The director had a great vision and concept for the meaning of the song. Awesome.

Pretty Ricky...

2008-07-15T00:15:00.001-04:00

New Pretty Ricky Video "Knockin' Boots"...

All we have to say is... 4Play, the newest member(taking over for Pleasure P; the main r&b singer) can sing his heart out. It seems like they've been gearing all songs & videos towards him... maybe hoping he(4Play) can put them "back on top". Overall, not a BAD video... especially for Pretty Ricky.

Rozelle: "Long Night"

2008-06-19T15:49:00.004-04:00

New r&b singer straight out of Atlanta... Rozelle. His first single & video is a slow jam, that looks like its geared to compete against CB's "Take You Down" and MH's "Naked". Deff. a great single, for a true r&b artist. We rate this song a 9.0/10.0. He has a secure voice for passionate rhythm and blues. People will be making love to this one, for sure.

Usher's Performances On 4Music

2008-06-18T18:52:00.003-04:00

5-2008
by ufan08

Usher was over in the UK recently, where he performed at 4Music. While at 4Music he sand "This Ain't Sex", "Here I Stand", "Love in this Club", and "Yeah!". Performances were top notch, as usual. Can anyone beat 'Mr. Entertainer'?! We can't wait for his performance at the BET 2008 Awards next week.

Meo's "They Love It" Ft. Petey Pablo & JD

2008-06-18T18:36:00.003-04:00

Meo's back with some genius lines, slick & easy beat/tempo... and of course, a catchy hook & chorus. The song is some-what more rappy, than straight-up singing. Deff. a great look for Meo... who, we've been hearing more & more of lately. Petey's verse is humorous and inventive. I could see this song & vid played on MTV and VH1. We rate this an 8.9/10.0.

"They Love It"

http://http://www.zshare.net/audio/138065636291c027/

What do you think?

Here's a Bunch of Fresh R&B!

2008-06-13T13:49:00.010-04:00

Cupid
"Happy Dance"
http://www.zshare.net/audio/135639629896cc54/
Up-tempo, very much like his previous single "Cupid Shuffle". It's very fun and deff. a song to jam to at a crazy party!

Git Fresh
"Hush, Hush" Ft. R. Kelly
http://www.zshare.net/audio/135520806b276513/
This seems to be set as one of Git Fresh's intense R&B songs. Overall, its a good song for the new group, yet they don't touch deep songs by artists like Usher, 112, Chris Brown, Marques Houston, or even newcomers like Once Chance. Their previous track "Booty Music" is miles & miles above "Hush, Hush".

Marques Houston
"Best Sex" Ft. C-Ball
http://www.zshare.net/audio/13552166fd1c54cd/
It's great to see MH coming back from the deep!!! His voice sounds stellar, along with C-Ball's stylish rhymes. Deff. download!

One Chance
"Shout"
http://www.zshare.net/audio/13552129741160be/
This is an intense club banga... close to Cupids previously posted song "Happy Dance". There's some very inventive rhymes in this song... more rappy than r&b though.

Rock City
"Losin' It"
http://www.zshare.net/audio/10204372f4d36206/
Catchy song... awesome first official single for the new duo. The video for this track came out last Tuesday. This is one of the few groups that will be taking the industry by storm, soon. Keep an eye on them!

Debut Album Alert!: Sean Garrett - Turbo 919

2008-06-04T15:44:00.009-04:00

One of the most anticipated debut albums of the year is finally here people! Sean Garrett is one of the most amazing producers in the music industry, and has worked with numerous artists such as Chris brown, Britney Spears, Ciara, Usher, Omarion, and P.Diddy. Now he has decided to go in a little different direction in his career by producing his own debut album called "Turbo 919". This album is full of club bangas, as well as slow jams that will mesmerize you with his soft melodic voice. The-Dream who already released his debut album has a little competition after hearing this album... even though The-Dream has sustained a huge reputation in the music industry, Garrett is coming strong with a similar style of R&B. Now all we are waiting for is the other major producer/artist/songwriter Johnta Austin to release is much anticipated debut album "Ocean Drive" and all three of the hotshot producers will have a debut album on the store racks. Who will come out victorious? we'll have to see...

Review: Turbo 919
1.) The album kicks it off with an amateurish intro called "Deep Deep Intro", which honestly wasn't needed... if the album started off with a club banga it would catch the listener's attention a lot quicker, rather than waiting a painful 1:13 just to hear the "first" song.
2.) The second song "What You Doin' With That" (produced by Garrett himself), is a jazzy club banga that has single potential written all over it. "You gotta pardon me love, but bodies don't come as hot as you got"... Very smooth and mature lyrics that lure the listener in.
3.) "Come on it" which features Akon, is a mid-tempo track that finds Garrett getting dirty when it comes to the lyrics... "I know your on fire cause ya man don't fuck ya right" lol. A very mature song that the album could do without.
4.) Another featured song, but this time from Lil' Wayne "Girlfriend Ringtone" is a pop-ish track that you could hear on The-Dream's album. Definitely a fun summer song that would good to just cruise to.
5.) The album/track title "Turbo 919" is a futeristic pop-ish track that you could hear being played over and over again in the clubs. Definetly could hear Britney Spears on the remix, cause it has that techno/dance type of beat.
6.) "I Still Believe Interlude" is a wonderful song... is you wanted to listen to an orchestra play all day! It's the definition of a filler, just a horrible choice of even having it on the album.
7.) "Lay up Under Me" (produced by Stargate) is a wonderful sexy joint, that just makes you wanna groove all night long. A wonderful choice for Garrett, both lyrically and melodically... you'll definitely have this song on repeat!
8.) "On the Hood" is an interesting song with an interesting concept... making love on the hood of your car? hmmm... idk what he was thinking with this song, but vocally an amazing song. The Lyrics sometimes make you laugh and just think wow are you serious? Otherwise a great slow jam for the album.
9.) "She Likes me Interlude" is another one of those interludes that honestly just take up space on the album, and is just a waste. He should of got rid of all the interludes.
10.) "6 in the Morning" is another futuristic jam that you could hear in any club scene. Garrett's club bangas are his best songs... and this song is a great interpretation of that. "Shawty got ass, just like thunder, makes a brotha wonderrrrr"
11.) "Grippin' " which features the great Luda himself is the first single off of this album and honestly gets kind of annoying after awhile... If it wasn't for the hook or Luda's verse this song would be garbage.
12.) "Patron" which features the techno/dance king Pharell is a great slow-tempo jam that makes ya just wanna snap your fingers. A great production from (The Neptunes), probably one of the best produced songs on the album.
13.) "Pretty Girl" is yet another futuristic pop-ish jam that just makes ya wanna dance... probaly one of the best on the album and definetely has single potential written all over it. A must listen!!!
14.) "Why" which has great flow throughout the song... can sometimes seem a little too repetitive, but definetely a good up-tempo track on the album.
15.) "One Day" has a beat that you could hear in the movie "The Notebook", because it has a very slow and soothing beat. This song is by far the best slow song on the whole album... Lyrically and vocally. A great ballad that you'll have on repeat for sure!

Rihanna's in "Disturbia" ?!

2008-05-30T10:47:00.004-04:00

Rihanna has a new track titled "Disturbia". It has a great Euro beat... maybe for her new release coming in a month, or so. Seems to be her new direction: European Dance. Good lyrics and very catchy. Easy to bob your head to and dance around... maybe even blast in your car on a long ride, or road trip. We give this track an 8.7/10.0! Check it outtt.

Awesome performances: Great vocals, nice movement and interaction with audience, superb choregraphy, nice band too! Deff. showing that he still is 'Mr. Entertainer'.

Usher 'Here I Stand' Album Review

2008-05-28T12:12:00.005-04:00

Alright guys! The time has come. The review of Ush's new album 'Here I Stand'. Let us know what you think about our review!!!

Brendon's Review:

1. The album begins with the Intro, floating around blog sites named "Forever Young". This song is a nice beginning to the album... sounds like Ush may have gotten a bit of inspiration from being on Broadway, though.

2. Next, is the smash "Love in This Club" ft Young Jeezy. We all, by now, know that Polow produced this electric track. It's a great beginning to a highly anticipated album. His confident demeanor is shown as he sings "Got some friends rollin' with you, thats cool. You can leave 'em with my homies, let them know that I got you..."

3. "This Ain't Sex" follows the club scene... The beat is kinda 'back-in-the-day' like, MichaelJacksony. Ush explains to his girl that what they're doing isn't "Sex", its "...Making moments, that will outlast the world." This would be a great song to see in concert; You can actually catch him performing this on SNL and Radio City 1 Big Weekend.

4. "Trading Places" is both creative and inventive. Usher sings in the song "...This is how it feels when you do it like me, we're Trading Places. Gon Get it.." In this song, he takes you through day-to-day happenings of a boyfriend and girlfriend/wife & husband. Only, Ush reverses all the roles. The guy makes the bed and gets picked up by the girl... the girl is the one pushing for the 'deed'. I don't know if anyone else could do this song.

5. "Moving Mountains", as it says on the album cover, is epic. This song gives me chills whenever I listen to it. One of the best songs on the cd: Lyrically, Production-wise, Vocally, and Subject-matter. Unbelieveable deliverance from Ush and his team. Makes this song sound so true. It's going to be an anthem for couples in hard times.

6. Next up is the Will.I.Am produced track "What's Ya Name". (Also, features Will.I.Am)The perfect amount of 'young-savvy' Usher needed on his album. Ush knew he could'nt go all "ChrisBrowny" on everybody, and have extremely Poppy hits. He knows his age and maturity. He's grown. Fun beat, Electric mood, and catchy-as-hell lyrics!

7. "Prayer for You"[Interlude]... This interlude is very touching. He begins with his baby boy laughing and crying a bit. He says jokingly "I sound that bad?!" haha. He dedicates this to his son & makes this a promise to his son that he'll always be there.

8. "Something Special" may be one of the most different types of songs on the album. There is guitar and drums in the background. When listening to this album, Ryan had said "Sounds like a Robin Thicke track"... I don't know if I can sum it up any better. Great, Interesting song. If you like Robin Thicke, you'll like this one. Not the strongest on the album, but definitley worth listening too.

9. "Love You Gently" is possibly the best R&B song in the past few years. One of the best in Ush's career. He sings "Let me love you gennnntlyyyy... Light as a feather, hard as a rock..." His lyrics are some of the best on the album. In the Billboard interview he says this song is the 'Ultimate baby making song'. Hes right... Lovers will be jammin' to this track for years & years & years.

10. "Best Thing" is featuring Jay Z. Overall, this track is the weakest song on the album. The beat is too normal, too indifferent. Usher delivers vocally, but with the beat... it's not captivating, Jay-Z has a couple good lines, but it is really just another RnB star featuring a Rap artist. Worth listening to, though. We would have rather seen "Play Me" or "Echo" or "Just Like Me" on the album, than this track.

11. "Before I Met You" is stellar. Lyrically, Usher shows that he is still stong and in the game. He is showing he's involved with his artistry. This song may be good competition for Chris Browns "I Wanna Be". Usher begins the song with "Just incase I never see your face again, Just incase the worst was meant to happen, Just incase tomorrow never comes... there is something you should know. I've given you every bit of the man I am..." He let's his girl know that she has made a huge difference in his life and that he's commited to her. He's hers, he'll "love [her] for life". One of my favs on the album!!!

12. "His Mistakes" seemed like it would be one of the best on the album, when it leaked. Yet, after hearing all the tracks and the album as a whole, it seems more like a filler. Superb lyrics and arrangement... but still not up to the par of most other tracks on the album.

13. "Appetite" is a fresh beat... great for the car. This is one of the up-tempo songs on the album. The chorus is seductive and pulls you in. You'll be singing this one after hearing it once.

14. "What's a Man to Do" is a great ballad asking, well... "Whats a man to do?!". It's about a man who feels for two women. He's confused and needs some help... he doesn't know what to do. We can picture Chris Brown, Dream, or Mario on a remix for this one. Kind of reminds me of Mario's "Do Right".

15. "Lifetime" is produced by Ush's own brother J-Lack. This track is a great song for you and your lady. Basically, Ush tells his girl that he'll be there for a lifetime, he'll love her for a lifetime, and hes been waiting a lifetime for the one. Easy-going beat sets off the tone for this relaxing track. This song reminds me of a few songs from the 'Confessions' album like "Truth Hurts", "Simple Things" and "That' What it's Made For".

16. "Love in This Club Pt. 2" featuring Beyonce & Lil' Wayne is up next. Cool remix, yet... I don't know if it should have had a place on the album. Lil' Wayne's verse sounds some-what out of place. If the beat was quicker, more up-tempo, it may sound right... Good remix, but maybe not for the album.

17. Ending the album is the deep track "Here I Stand". "Hear I Stand" is about showing that he is here to stay, he's here for his fans, his wife & family, and his friends. "No matter how far I go, No matter how long it takes, No one or nothing can change. Forever yours, here I stand." Very MarvinGaye-esque and LuthorVandross-esque. He takes us back to when RnB was soulfull and somewhat Jazzy. Gret way to wrap up the album.

(*18. If you have patience... about 2:02 minutes after "Here I Stand" ends, a hidden track "Will Work for Love" begins to play. This track is on the same track as Here I Stand (Track # 17). Awesome, awesome, awesome. This song is catchy, and worth the 2 minute wait to get to it. It's about a man who fell on hard times and needs a bit of help. He wants his girl but he needs some love and kindness. Now this is the true way to end a CD.)

In the end, the album leaves, me at least, very happy and excited. I'm glad to have waited the 4+ years for this album. It shows maturity abd growth. The album covers love, urges, grace, percerverance, life, and strength. Usher came out very strong with this album, so deff. go BUY IT and support him. Also check out UsherHereIStand.com for updates and everything Usher. Ryan and I give it a 9.5/10.0. He proves he's still on top... especially with his demeanor, swag, and vocal abilities. Usher's back... are you ready?!

Fundamental '03 "Wait a While"

2008-05-22T13:14:00.004-04:00

Fundamental '03 has a new track out today! It's titled "Wait a While". Basically, the song is about not having to get down and dirty to show that they have love for their girl. Awesome song for the trio... it's nice to see another side of them, compared to their strong bass'd "Bye Bye" and "Confused". The track fetures, what seems like, guitars & drums. They also show great harmony together. We rate this song an 8.6/10.0.

New video: Usher - "Moving Mountains"

2008-05-22T00:09:00.003-04:00

Usher's new video for "Moving Mountains" is out. The video is amazing!!! It is very artistic and shows a lot of emotion and power throughout the 5+ minute long story-like vid. Deff a positive video for Usher! It is a continuation of the "Love in this Club" video... beginning at the burned down club scene. A lot of special effects used in the video... as well as a green screen. Everything looks VERY realistic and very well-planned. Usher doesn't dance or do any choreography in this video. We think rightfully so... The vid should send a deep message; and it does. Deff. watch this video, youll be intrigued. His album 'Here I Stand' comes out officially Tuesday, May 27!!!

Be sure to check in on Tuesday and listen to our FULL review... breaking down each song.

Debut Album Alert!: Mic Little - "Put it in a Letter"

2008-05-21T13:00:00.013-04:00

Mic Little is the future of R&B... hands down he is one of the most talented singers at the age of 14. However, recently it has come to my attention that Mic Little was dropped from the major recording label Def Jam. How? or Why? is beyond me... I don't understand why anyone would give up such a hot prospect. Mic Little, who released his expected 1st single "Put it in a Letter" featuring the lyrical master Ne-yo, had absolutely no push from Def jam which ultimately sums up why Mic Little was dropped from their label. Honestly, its a shame that such a new and upcoming artist such as Mic Little wasn't given the chance that he deserved.
However, it seems that Mic Little has released a debut album independently, which will be sold through digital downloading. The album is called "Put it in a Letter", which includes some amazing tracks such like "Put it in a Letter", "Don't Stop (I like It)", and the melodic ballad "Red Light, Green Light".
The album starts off with his 1st single "Put it in a letter", which features Ne-yo. The song is a great single choice, and lyrically wise fits his image/age. The next song on the album "Don't Stop(I Like it)" which was produced by Stargate, reveals a more risky side of Mic Little rather than his normal 14 year old sensual side. If your looking for an amazing ballad then make sure you check out track #3 on the album called "Red Light, Green Light", which shows his melodic/sensual side. "Who Need a Dime" is a different yet interesting song that shows Mic Little's creative lyrical side... (Who need a dime, I got a dollar... make me wanna pop my collar haha). #5 "Fresh & Fly" gives us a glimpse of Mic's gangsta side... but mainly just a filler on the album. #6 "Hey Girl" is a crazy club banga! It has a mesmerizing beat that will just make you wanna move. #7 "Let Me Get it", sort of has a southern type of snap beat with hard synths that make you just wanna lean and rock to it. #8 "Golden State" is kind of an obnoxious anthem about Cali and where he lives, but it doesn't take too much away from the album. #9 "Never Can Say Goodbye" is a remake of The Jackson 5's hit single, and Mic Little does an amazing job and sounds a lot like the great Michael Jackson himself. #10 "Make it out the Hood" is really just another one of those typical songs about getting out of the hood and going from the bottom to the top. #11 "My Song" is yet another slow jam ballad with a nice piano sound in the background... Mic will have the ladies eating out of his hand with this joint! #12 "Can I Be It" is a mid-tempo love song that is one of the best on the album. #13 "Hate On Us" is a slow jam that really reveals his image/age, which is good that he isn't trying to act older than he really is. #14 and the last song on the track "Before I Fail" is an interesting song with a weird intro... probaly a bad way to end the album... but overall an amazing album.

Kwiet Storm "Everybody"

2008-05-21T08:16:00.005-04:00

The 4 member group Kwiet Storm has a new song titled "Everybody". The song is a hoppin' R&B song. It is very catchy and likeable. I could see this song all over BET and MTV this summer... with a hott video in Florida or somewhere tropical. The beat is dope... very One Chance/Pretty Ricky/Yung Joc. Overall, the song is a 8.3/10.0. Great song to introduce us to this upcoming R&B group. We can't wait to hear more from them!

Chrishan "Changed"

2008-05-21T07:48:00.006-04:00

Chrishan has a new song titled "Changed". This song was previewed about 2 weeks ago by R&B star Lloyd... except his version was titled "Life". We are wondering who is actually going to get the beat for their album... Especially with Lloyd being well-known and with his new album coming out soon, and Chrishan only debuting sometime soon... Will the song go to lloyd because of 'seniority'?

Overall, the song is great. We give it an 8.6/10.0. Chrishan uses his voice as an instrument and really excels. His voice has really matured since the last bit of music we've heard... a month or so ago. He really has "Changed"... He seems to be turning into an exciting new face in R&B! We'll see how he differentiates himself from the R&B games male stars. For example, we think he'll end up being compared to Lloyd, Trey Songz, J. Holiday, Casely and Chris Brown. He needs to find either a route, style, music-feel, or audience direction different than the forementioned artists.

We can't wait to see Chrishan mature more and begin his journey to stardom. Deff. check this trackout!!!

Ne-Yo's Album Pushed Back

2008-05-12T08:47:00.003-04:00

Ne-Yo's 'Year of the Gentleman' album wont be coming out in June... Its been pushed back to August 5th. Some say its because of the poor reception of the LP's first single "Closer"... which has only made it to #54, as the top position. Def Jam surely wants a single in the top 10 for the release. Both previous albums, "In My Own Words" and "Because of You" debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 charts. Hopefully Ne-Yo comes out with a smash hit this summer... He can't fall off... He has to compete with Usher's new album, 'Here I Stand', out May 27th, and Chris Brown's Re-release, 'Exclusive: The Forever Edition', out at the beginning of June.

In Ne-Yo's own words, "...We gotta make it work, ay yo, ay yo, ayyyy..."

Usher: Update + New Track

2008-05-11T23:33:00.007-04:00

Usher performed this past weekend at Radio 1's Big Weekend... Link to video performance at bottom. Usher did his thing... dancing and singing his heart out. He also performed two new tracks, yet to be heard by the public... "Here I Stand" and "What's Ya Name"... both sound amazing!!! "Here I Stand" is a slow ballad assuring his girl he'll always be there, no matter what. "What's Ya Name" is clubby & fun... could totally feature T-Pain on a remix. The song is suppose to feature Will.I.Am. of the Black Eyed Peas. In the concert, he perfoms about 1 minute or so of "What's Ya Name." When we get the songs, they'll be up for posting.

Along with his new music, another new track titled "Play Me" was leaked. We had spoke about this song in a previous post. It's a great song with a real electric-house-dance feel. Catchy, too.

We're really feeling Usher and his new music. He's had spectacular beats and production so far... and creative lyrics, direction, and theme. We only hope he gets a little bit more publicity and promotion here in the USA. With the album dropping in a little more than 2 weeks, May 27th, Ush needs to get on some talk shows and tv stations... You know he will... He's Usher. Duhhh.

Usher: Five New Tracks!!!

2008-05-09T08:36:00.008-04:00

New USHER song!!! "Trading Places", as posted yesterday, is supposed to be on the tracklist for the new album 'Here I Stand.' The song is killer... shows Ush's voice his new maturity. The track tells a story of trading places, switching roles, with his girl/wife. Three words to describe this song: Catchy, Mature, & Growth. If this is what the new album is gunna be like, get ready and strap your seatbelt, because he's coming May 27th!

"This Ain't Sex" shows an exclusive varitey of range with Ush's new-found maturity. He really uses his voice and shows his range and abilities. The beat is Michael Jackson like... stong rhythm and seductive feeling.

Next new song, "Best Thing". Kind of old school-repetitive beat... great song, would be even better with Jay-Z like expected... maybe this is the version before Jay laced the track. Good mid-album song.

"Just Like Me" shows Ush's ability to "Rap/sing". This song is catchy; kind of makes you rock side-to-side and move your shoulders. Subtle overall beat, but just bangin' enough. He's talking about keeping secrets from his girl, and vice versa. This song isn't scheduled to be on the tentative tracklist, but it's a sure-fire winner!

Finally, "Echo." This track has an original background & beat that we haven't heard before... different than other songs out right now. Once again, not scheduled to be on the album, but its a killa. Ush is proving he and his writers are true lyricists. Fun track, singable, and entertaining. This song controls your ear throughout the entire set. Usher's smooth matured voice laces the track with a strong presence. I don't know anyone else could have done this track... especially as good as Usher did it. Hopefully, it makes the LP! You'll be hummin' this one...

"Echo, Echo, Echo..."

This may end of being one of the best albums of his career... maybe even slaughtering 'Confessions', which is one of Music's most successful albums in the history of Billboard and Music Charts.

JACKPOT WITH USHER SONGS TODAY :)

Claude Kelly is out with another banga! A recently leaked song titled "Ghost" has a strong bass, mesmerizing rhtyhm, and a unique use of lyrics & his phenomenal vocal abilities. We urge you to listen to this song... We know youl'll have it on replay! We're singin' it already... and weve heard it a few times. This is one of our favorite Claude Kelly songs... dance-type beat: kind of following "Don't Stop the Music" (Rihanna) & "Forever" (Chris Brown). We rate it a 9.0/10.0. Catch it!!!

ALBUM: Jesse McCartney: Departure

2008-05-01T00:13:00.009-04:00

Review:

The album begins with the new single "Leavin'". The beat is total percussion and gets into your head. You'll be humming this song after hearing it once. It then transitions into "It's Over," which continues to have a new-feel beat for Jesse. He shows some stellar vocals and continues to show maturity... even towards the beginning of the album. Following "It's Over" comes "Rock You" Ft. Sean Garret. This is no "Grippin' on My Bed"... This is the most annoying 'get-used-to' song on the album. Jesse's use of his voice is slightly irritating. Plus, Garret raps, not sings. Following one disaster comes a beautiful song titled "How Do You Sleep". The main gear of the song is towards a girl that broke up with Jesse, & Jesse can't get over her. He's wondering how ,and if she's actually over him too. Once again, continuing with shocking beats that surprise you and make you think... is this a Jesse McCartney album?! Up next is "Into Ya". Nice beat, reminds me of an 'in-R&B' song right now. He talks about sex in an alluring and semi-secret way. Following "Into Ya" comes "Make Up"... This song would be one of the best in concert because of the bass. Pretty catchy, too. "My Baby" is one of the best songs on the LP. He shows that he's in the twenties and that he has really grown as a musician. ((Love this song)) Following a magnificent "My Baby" comes a tender "Told You So". I don't know how Jesse got so many great beats on the album but high-five to him and his team! "Told You So" has some great lyrics and shows that he's still geared towards his age-group. "Relapse" comes next... sounds like a beat Ne-Yo may use on his upcoming album. "Runnin'" follows... one of the best songs on the album. Crazy lyrics and rhythm. Makes you move in your seat!!! "Freaky"... all we need to say is WOW. Polow-Da-Don produced track... He shows that he can compete with Ne-Yo's new song "Closer"... maybe it'll be his new single & video. He only needs to get some killer dance moves! The album ends with "Not Your Enemy". "Not Your Enemy" is a somber end to the amazing album. Awesome voice, awesome voice, awesome voice! Leaves you feeling determined to listen to the album again and again.

Great job Jesse! Congratulations on creating this album... it really shows growth & maturity! You won't be let down with this album. He's really going to make some artists run for the hills... Jesse's back with new music, beats, production, and a new-found-maturity! Watch out... Departed is out May 20th. Make sure you cop it.

You might have already heard Jesse McCartney's original "Leavin", but if you haven't heard this remix then you are definitely missing out. The remix changes the whole beat and gives it a more R&B feel, which I feel sounds more natural. we give this song a 8.9/10.0... go check it out!

Ne-Yo "Closer" Video

2008-04-26T23:53:00.003-04:00

http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=0q4bC0D0oKp2KK58

Ne-Yo's new video, "Closer," is the ishhh. The video has an awesome Michael Jackson flare. The director seemed to have an awesome concept for how to integrate the lyrics and the slick moves of Ne-Yo. His upcoming album, 'Year of the Gentleman', is slated for a late June release. This album is seeming like a sure-fire winner. We can't wait for this album!!! Anyways, watch the video... and see how Ne-Yo is coming at Usher & Chris Brown. He's gutta show that he is still in the entertaining game, too!

Chris Brown Update

2008-04-26T22:37:00.008-04:00

So, starting later in the summer-late fall.. CB will be beginning, or continuing(if you know his work ethic), his next album. Chris's normal ethic is to create 50+ songs and then chose 10-20 songs for an album, and then have many left over for movies, promos, new albums, campaigns, etc. When asked what the newer album, after the Re-Release of Platinum 'Exclusive', Brown said "I'll be almost twenty, so we can get a little dirty," He made sure to add, "But not R. Kelly dirty."

How dirrrty will CB get? As we've seen in his latest album, he takes love, sex, and girls to another level... not enough to be very graphic, but sexxi enough to hold down the girls... no pun intended. His newest album will obviously be from a 20 year old's point of view of love, sex, and girls... it should be an awesome album. We'll give more info when we get more information on the album...

Otherwise, get the Re-release of 'Exclusive' due out June 3rd. It should include the original 16 tracks on 'Exclusive' and then "Heart Ain't a Brain", "Picture Perfect (Remix)" Ft. Bow Wow & Hurricane Chris, "Super Human" Ft. Keri Hilson[We REALLY want to hear this one!!!], and of course the hit "Forever." Go buy "Forever" on iTunes!!!

Here is the single cd of "Forever." On the back, you can see, possibly, what the 'Exclusive: Forever Edition' cover may look like... It looks like the original, just the color of his shirt is red, not white. Check it out, im liking the hoodie Chris is sportin... hes lookin' mean! Support Chris and his albums!

As always, check back in to RandBsMusicChoice for new music and artist info!!!

Eric Benet: You're the Only One

2008-04-26T01:35:00.004-04:00

You might remember Eric Benet from back in the day... but he's back people! with a new hit slow jam called "You're the Only One". It's got a nice motown feel to it that just makes you wanna jam. Eric Benet's voice has really grown and I'm really feeling this record, it's a hit! Right now Eric Benet is working on his new LP called "Love & Life", which should release late summer of 08'. I'm really looking forward to this comeback album... he's gonna have to come back strong if he wants to compete with Ne-Yo's "Year of the Gentleman" and Chris Brown's Re-release of "Exclusive". Anyways we rate this song a 9.2/10.0... check it out!

Usher's "Love in This Club (Part 2)"

2008-04-23T17:57:00.005-04:00

"Love in this Club (Part 2)" is the new official remix of Ush's original "Love in this Club". The song is crazy good. Everything is changed... nothing is the same. New beat, production, lyrics, new people on the track, etc. Usher brought on the Queen B, Beyonce, and the Best Rapper Alive, Lil' Wayne, to kill the remix. They all kill it with their voices: one hundred percent on tap! Usher has different verses, not the same ones from the original. On TRL a few weeks ago Usher said that he worked with Beyonce and Jay-Z on his album... is this what he worked with Beyonce on? [[Supposedly, Ush's new single will be "The Best Thing" Ft Jay-Z]] We like the remix a lot. Awesome work Usher Raymond! This album is getting better and better each day. With a little more than a month before the album drops (May 27th), hopefully we'll be seeing more TV spots, promoting, and concert announcements. For now, check out the new remix of "Love in this Club".

Usher's album cover & promo pics: "Here I Stand"

2008-04-18T10:31:00.009-04:00

Usher's album cover for his upcoming LP, "Here I Stand", is uncovered. We think usher's photography for the album is stunning. This is a great album cover for what the album speaks about: love, loss, new beginnings(child + marriage) and the stresses of being a sex symbol and entertainer AND trying to balance a real personal life with a baby and wife. It's going to be an awesome album. The picture/album cover portrays Ush in the desert... the heat of the sun (spot light) on him... an he tries to remain strong and guarded, protecting his family and his personal life. The license plate portrays "CINCO 1126" standing for CINCO- 5th studio album...and 1126 is the date of the birth of his baby boy(November 26th). This will be a jaw-dropping r&b/hip-hop album from Usher. Can't wait for it!!!

Theres also a few Promo pics for the album!!! Ush is doin' his thinggg. He's looking good and keepin' up his game. One question though... is Usher getting rid of his "U" Chain?!

LYRIC's RC: "Parkin' Lot Pimpin'"

2008-04-15T23:10:00.007-04:00

Our 1st post ever was for a group named LYRIC. One of the singers/rappers, RC, from the duo has a hott track off the album "Soundtrack to Our Lives". This song, "Parkin' Lot Pimpin'", has been getting a lot of attention lately for its poetic, well thought out lyrics & its heavy computerized beat. The song pulls you in to listen at least 2-3 times over. Stop by iTunes to download their album... just search LYRIC and click the album cover with the duo on the front. Support new up-and-coming artists! The other member of the group is Phoenix Jones, but Phoenix isn't featured on the song "Parkin' Lot Pimpin'" (It's a solo cut written, re-mastered, and thought up by RC of the pair). There's a new album coming out later this summer! Leave comments for the group and let us know of any other up-and-coming artists!

Bridge:

"It's like 1,2,3 girl undress me with your eyes

It's like 4,5,6 girl open them thighs

It's like 7,8,9 your body's so divine

Imma make you a star, so baby you can shine"

Chorus:
"We're Parkin' lot pimpin' in my ride
Windin' and grindin' under the moonlight
Up and down, side to side
Parkin lot pimpin in my ride
Put that seat back, just relax
Let me handle that ass..."

Ryan Leslie: "Still Good"

2008-04-15T22:42:00.004-04:00

So, with Ryan Leslie's recent urge to end up on top of the R&B game, a new track leaks.... called "Still Good". The track shows Leslie's actual R&B voice, unlike the melancholly single "Diamond Girl". He pairs a simple beat with exceptional vocals. His lyrics are some of the best we've heard from Ryan Leslie... We're hoping that the rest of his songs show as much flavor as "Still Good". He seems like he's really reaching into midtempo cuts with an upbeat bridge towards the rear 2/3 of the EP. Definitley be singin' this one for a bit... "Is the Love Still good, Is it Still good, Is it Still good..." Maybe graduating from Harvard will help his game in the R&B industry this time around!

What's the track about?

The song is about him and a woman; the woman is changing a little bit and they're going through changes as a couple. The overall tone of the song is about Ryan asking if 'the love is still good to you.' He wants the relationship to be honest and wants the girl to know that he'll always have love for her... romantically or friendly.

Who has he worked with?

Predominantly, he works on mostly all of Cassie's albums. He's also worked on songs for Beyoncé, Britney Spears, JoJo, Nina Sky, Danity Kane, Diddy, Snoop Dogg, Donell Jones, Katharine McPhee, New Edition, One Chance, B5, Cheri Dennis, Latif, Megan Rochell and M. Pokora. He's in the process of writing and producing tracks on Usher's new LP.

Overall rating?

Out of 10... this cut from R. Leslie recieves a 8.0 because the song has a sassy-smart attitude and the song showcases a sample of what Leslie's R&B voice actually is. It gets docked 2.o points because it does honestly get a little repetitive by the 2nd or 3rd time listening and the song isn't totally hott for radio. This would be a nice song to have on the album, but we hope to see much more foward-moving music from Ryan.

Upcoming Concert:
Ryan will be performing at Summer Jam 2008 in Mansfield, MA on May 31, 2008... you can purchase tix at Ticketmaster.

Qwote Ft. Trina "Don't Wanna Fight" Video

2008-04-14T21:57:00.009-04:00

Download Link(Thx Jololouie)

http://www.mediafire.com/?otyg19c1tbw

This video has a great feel to it. Qwote has a unique voice that really shows a great deal of push for a time in r&b where there a few (of the thousands) people made up to be super-stars. The song itself is catchy, where you'll find yourself humming it and recollecting the video an hour or two after seeing/hearing the video. With Qwote's overall look somewhere between R.Kelly-T.Pain-Lloyd. He moves around quite a bit and keeps your attention in a similar way to Tyrese... singing around the girl, in a bedroom, and on a porch. There are also pretty good lyrics in the song. We wish he had one more verse to showcase his skills... the Trina verse we could do without. Trina's verse isn't BAD by any means, but we would have rather seen another sampling of Qwote's abilities.

Verse by Qwote:

Lately (lately), We been going through it baby (baby)

Slammin' doors and yellin' like crazy (crazy)

Cusin' each other out everyday (everyday), everynight (everynight)

Girl I (girl I), Just wanna put it all aside (aside)

And focus on your body tonight (tonight)

Kiss you on your lips while I, Stroke your hair gently let's try, To flip the script tonight

We're gunna try and find a good quality video and put it up on the site; not just any low-quality video...

Ryon Lovett "Equation"

2008-04-12T22:06:00.005-04:00

Some people may have heard of Ryon Lovett... Usher's new protege coming up on US Records(Usher's Label). He has a new song out called "Equation." This song is original and a half. The lyrics take math vocab(absolute value, multiply, plus, minus, fraction, solve, equation, etc...) and put it into a great love song. This song shows his phenomenal voice. The track also has a great beat to it that lures you into listen to the entire song at least 2 times in a row. We can't wait until Ryon's album drops. As a prediction, we think Ryon will be getting hott this winter... We'll see if thats what happens! We give this song a 9.0/10!

Chorus:
Me plus you, I'll take that number.
Multiply your smile, minus the drama.
Give me a fraction of your heart.
I'll solve your problems.
Now put that together.
We make up a perfect equation, equation, equation.
Me and you make up a perfect equation, equation, equation.
Me and you make up a perfect equation.

Ne-Yo's "Closer" Pics

2008-04-11T22:38:00.004-04:00

Heres some exclusive pics from Ne-Yo's upcoming music video for "Closer," his first single off of his new LP "Year of the Gentleman." He filmed the video yesterday in CA. The video looks like it'll be pretty good! Even looks like Ne-Yo will be dancing it up a bit... maybe because he has to compete against Chris Brown... and Usher and his new album?! Anyways,. when the video comes out, we'll have it. Can't wait!!! Looks sexxxy.

Props to Thatgrapejuice for the picsss!

Chillin' @ Studio 72 in Atlanta

2008-04-11T08:46:00.003-04:00

Usher, Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, and Jermaine Dupri were chillin' at Studio 72 in Atlanta not too long ago. They were basically hyping up the crowd with some Usher songs (old and new). Usher basically said a bunch of 'Okayyy, Yeah, That's whassup, and This is for my ladies...' In other words, he didnt perform or anything. Young Jeezy did about 80% of his verse in 'Love in This Club"... He did better than I thought he would live. Can't wait for the first real concert performance of Ush's new song!!!

Credit to Sohh.com for sure on this one!!!

Jackie Boyz "Topless"

2008-04-10T22:15:00.005-04:00

Jackie Boyz have neen around and performing since 1999. In the past 6 months, they've really started to hit it off. They've had multiple bangin' songs recently, with the newest being "Topless." This new track is HOTTT! The beat is energetic and the duos voices sound on key. It's catchy and easy listening. Mainly all singing, with one verse of "R&B Rap" - a new fad from many R&B stars. Pretty good lyrics; with jokes about Kanye West and even King Kong... We want to see a real physical album released by these 2 future stars of R&B! We give this song a 8.5/10.0. This one grows on you.

Nelly's new video and new Lead single for his upcoming album, "Brass Knuckles". The song is deff. going to be played in the clubs. It has a fast hardcore beat and invigorating versues from Nelly. We think its a pretty good video for Nelly's upcoming LP. Hes sticking with his "Shake ya Tailfeather" vibe. Hopefully it works out for him and her can bring himself back to the Hip-Hop game as #1. We'll all see. Check the video. Dont get dizzy from the cameras moving around and flashing lights. It's iight though.

Catch It!

Chris Brown's NEW SINGLE: "Forever"

2008-04-07T22:37:00.006-04:00

Chris Brown is back with the new single "Forever." He decides to go with a Euro-Pop/Electronic beat. It's different than his normal R&B/Hip-Hop direction, but we're feeling it. The lyrics are great and catchy- he wrote them himself. We're already singing this song in our heads. Picture the video for this song! All we can see is DANCING GALORE!!! Awesome beat for krumpin', dancing, etc. It has a summer-like feel & kind of bubbly/happy feeling. You can tell the Rihanna-influence is starting to hit him... not a bad thing though. He is seeing the future of music- the electro-pop beat. We support this song as the lead single of the re-release of Exclusive due June 3rd(One week after Usher's album "Here I Stand" due May 27th, and same day as Ne-Yo's release of "Year of the Gentleman"). CB's voice is heavily vocalized yet it ads the electonic feeling to the song. He keeps his crisp voice and great range on lock! This song just makes us smile and get up off our behinds and groove a lil' bit. We all need that sometimes! Deff. download this one. Overall, we rate this song a 9.1/10.0!

Im just gunna sing my way away from this one. Catch ya'll lataaaaaa...

"All you gutta do is watch me...

Look what I can do with my feet,

Baby, Feel the beat insiiiiide......"

"Forever"

Usher: "Love in this Club" Video Preview

2008-04-02T07:52:00.006-04:00

Screencaps of the 30 second preview!!!

With Usher's new album dropping in June, Here I Stand, the video for "Love in this Club" is getting ready to be released. The full video will be out next Monday, April 7th. The clip shows that "Love in this Club" has a "Yeah pt. 2" vibe to it. The video clip is only 30 seconds but it shows some of Usher's on-point choreography and some sensual parts with him and Keri hilson. We were afraid that Usher wouldn't dance in the video because hes aging... only 30 or so, but... he's definitley dancing... and the clip is towards the end of the song... so he prob kills it the rest of the song. We can't wait for the entire video... We'll be sure to post it when it comes out. Usher's back, and coming strong!!!

Shout to Urban-Hoopla.com for the screencaps.

The "New" jackson 5 of the Era?

2008-03-26T00:34:00.013-04:00

After the finale of MTB4, Day26 has just released their self-titled album. Diddy, who produced the album along with The Runners and Brian M. Cox, has created an unbelievable group that has five amazing artists. (Willie) who mesmerizes you with his mid-high pitch voice & has the potential to lead the group, as well as (Robert) who's bravado that pulls you into each song. (Mike) who's range is the most widespread in the group doesn't get as much stardom on the album as one would expect. (Que.) who's falsetto can be heard in the background of each song, as well as in most of the choruses simply puts the icing on the cake.(Brian) who according to Diddy is "The Weakest Link", has defied Diddy's original expectations, and has proved that he can hold his own with anyone else in the group.
Day26 is a very unique group with a unique sound that can be thought as a mix of old school Mo-town and new school R&B/Pop. This unique vibe is what makes them better than other R&B groups in the past. For Example, B2K and IMX were very generic and only released songs that appealed to younger teens. Day26's album is very versatile and can relate to the older generation of R&B/Soul.
Jackson 5 who swept the nation with their singles such as "ABC" and "I Want You Back" had that unique vibe that the time period was looking for. Their unique style, vocals, and charisma is very similar with Day26. Even though Day26 probably won't sell as many debut albums as The Jackson 5, they are an amazing conglomeration of R&B Superstars in the making... GO OUT AND BUY THAT ALBUM!!!

New in R&B: Chrishan

2008-03-07T11:41:00.008-05:00

Yet another superb 18 year old r&b singer! This guy is coming after Chris Brown's proclaimed spot as 'Prince of R&B.' He has been around for a grand amount of time, but right when he turned 18 he began to get major label offers. His name is starting to be spread around the industry and is called 'The Future.' His single at the moment is "Do it To it." This single is self-produced... Oh, did I mention that he is a producer, writer, in addition to being an amazing singer?! His single is currently getting a lot of air play in the South. We give this song an 8.8 out of 10. I'm also including 2 other songs by Chrishan. One is titled "Too Late For Us" and is an awesome mid-tempo ballad with a very enriching, catchy hook and chorus. I was singing this song within 5 minutes. We give this song a 9.0 out of 10. Finally, a track titled "Exclusive." This song is also mid-tempo with a fair amount of bass. He is an awesome lyricist. We give this song an 8.7 out of 10.

Overall we give Chrishan about an 8.8 out of 10.0! We can't wait to hear his entire album(which he is currently in the studio working on).

Go listen to this guy!!! Remember he is only 18. He is coming for Chris Brown. This will be a real battle. He also is an amazing dancer and entertainer... sounds like Chris Brown Pt. 2! We'll try and find a video of Chrishan doing his thing, dancing it up.

Here is the 1st verse, hook, and the chorus from "Too Late for Us" showing some of his exsquisite writing skills:

[Verse] It's like each day is growing colder, Im grasping for the minutes, Seconds pass and i'm thinking back when you first said i'm finished, I tried to play my part, act like it was all a game, But now I would give anything to get past your memory, girl,

[Hook] Why'd you walk away and leave me with this pain, I wish I could go back in time and rearrange, Its some things I didn't mean to say, So tell me that its not too late, oh,

[Chorus] Girl, if we keep on breaking up, we keep on making up, Is it 2 late 4 us, yeah, Girl, I know my mistake, no matter what girl I take, There could never be no faking us, Girl, if we keep on breaking up, we keep on making up, Is it 2 late 4 us, I don't wanna lose you, girl I'd be a fool to, So I should ask you now, Is it 2 late 4 us...

Update: Usher

2008-02-25T09:04:00.004-05:00

Ushers "official" versions of the songs "I Can't Win" and "Moving Mountains" are now out and ready for download! They show great growth by Ush and show, possibly, what his album could look like.

1. "I Can't Win": Ush shows off his voice and lets all his fans, and newcomers, know that he is back and ready to take on the r&b game once again. The ballad is written by Ne-Yo and produced by Stargate. The lyrics make an impact and keep you humming the song for awhiole after listening. We rate this song a 9.1.

2. "Moving Mountains": Once again, his voice is flawless. Timbaland produced this medi-slow seductive song. I can totally see this having a video where hes walking in the streets at night all bundled up after leaving his house from a fight with his girl or something. This track puts an interesting twist to normal Usher songs and shows us a new side/kind of song from him. There is a part in the song, at about the 3/4 point, where there isnt really any singing... only mumbling/echoing in the background. I'm wondering if this is where a duet or collabo will be inserted...but with who?! We'll have to see, if that is the case. We give this song an 8.9. Having a killer collabo would raise this song well into the 9's!

Brandon Hines: New Track

2008-02-15T11:19:00.008-05:00

Brandon Hines has a NEW song! His track is titled "Look Me in My Face." This song has a semi-slow, medolic beat. His voice is very on-key and is projected just the right amount. He uses his voice in a much more mature way than his previous songs, in our opinion. The lyrics are also very well written. I'd like to find out who penned the lyrics and who the mastermind to the subtle-yet-intriguing beat is. In previous songs, it seems like Mr. Hines killed, in a bad way, his songs with the bridge... and the lack of an interesting hook.

This track should be Brandon Hines first real single. I can picture a hott remix with a rapper like Lil Wayne (beginning right after the bridge) or Kanye West. Even a rapper like Common would put a great spin on the song. If Kanye was featured they should speed the song up a little bit for the remix. We give this song a 8.3 on a 10.0 scale. Anyways, here is the song "Look Me in My Face" by B. Hines! Enjoy and Comment!!!!!!

J. Holiday - When you get Home

2008-02-06T00:00:00.000-05:00

J. Holiday who's hit single "Bed" climbed up the billboard charts to the #4 spot has recorded many songs recently that didn't make his debut album. One in particular is "When you get Home" which I personally feel should have been one of the first selections for the album. It's a great slow jam that has an old-soul feel to it... overall it receives an 8.5/10.0, hope you enjoy!

New Music: USHER!

2008-02-04T23:16:00.000-05:00

Usher is BACK! His long anticipated album is finally having a good amount of leaks. Ryan & I have been waiting for these songs for a long time now. The first leak, which is Untitled, is supposedly featuring Ne-Yo. The full song hasn't leaked just yet. Overall, its a great song with a nice ballad-tone that he and Ne-yo will rock all night long, again and again. The song is available on every blog. We'll post it when it 1) Has a name and 2) Is longer that 45 sec. or so. Anyways, we're going to post 2 songs recently leaked by the one-and-only Usher Raymond. One is titled "Love in This Club" and is apparently featuring Young Jeezy. The song we have has been ripped from the radio and is the version rotating on sites for about the last day or so. The song has a mesmerizing beat that makes you groove to it. Usher has evolved musically... it's nice to hear his voice again!!! As for the collabo with Jeezy... Its not a bad match, its somewhat awkward, but Jeezy does better than i originally expected. His verse is humorous and not overly sexual (like Rich Boy in Mario's "Kryptonite"). The download link is below. We won't rate the song until the HQ, or CQ, version is released so that we can hear all effects on the song, voice, etc. The next song is titled "Moving Mountains" and is produced by Timbaland. The cut is suppose to even feature Timbaland on the track somewhere. This song, in our opinion, will be like a "Damage"(Chris Brown), "Come Back to Me Shawty"(Tyrese), "Fiening You"(Omarion) kind of track. When the full version is released we will rush it to the site for download.

Overall, Usher seems to be coming back strong. If the leaked tracks continue to stay strong and showcase his vocal abilities and his ability to be on different beats/tracks, his new album (yet to be titled; or have a release date) will be platinum. All he needs now is some great promotion, an awesome first single & video, and a huge tour with a huge star like Chris Brown, J. Holiday, Kanye West, or someone!!! Get ready ya'll, he's here!!!

"Love in This Club"
