Usher: Five New Tracks!!!

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.

Claude Kelly's "Ghost"

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

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.

Jesse McCartney: Leavin (Cam'rox Remix)

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

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

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

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)"

"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"

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'"

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"

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

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...

Try out our new "Talk it Uppp!!!" Box on the right hand side of our page. Drop us some comments, suggestions, opinions, ideas, etc! We wanna hear what you have to say. Don't forget to vote in this week's poll, too!

Ryon Lovett "Equation"

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

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!
