New R&B Music: Danity Kane, Mario/Akon, The Dream, Trey Songz
Danity Kane has a new song with Lil Wayne called “Phase”. This song is HOT! I don’t care what anybody says about reality tv show bands, these chicks have talent. I like the lyrics, the ladies sound great, and Lil Wayne on the track is an added bonus. Oh yeah Lil Wayne is a Libra like me? That’s hot! I only hear Dawn and D Woods on the track though…so I guess they are doing things differently on this album by not having everyone sing a verse on every song. Click here to listen
Mario has a new track featuring Akon called “City”. I don’t understand how a song about Africa is called “City”. I’m sure he is aware that Africa is a continent, and he never mentions a specific city in Africa so the chorus really makes no sense at all. Other than that the lyrics are good and I think it’s pretty cool that he did a song about going back to Africa. The only thing is…where is he going with his new material? The songs I’ve heard have been all over the place lyrically, yet totally redundant in the singing style and production. I like Mario and I think he’s very talented, but he needs some direction in his music and more creativity with his production. If his album ever manages to get released, I hope that he has much more variety. Click here to listen
The Dream is so ridiculous with his new song “I Luv Your Girl”. I can’t take a song seriously that has a title like that, so I’m just gonna chop this one up as a joke. At any rate…the production is crazy hot and this guy has an amazing voice, I just don’t get why he wastes it on such stupid a$$ lyrics. Somehow though…I have a feeling that this song will still be a hit on the strength of the fact that people aren’t as turned off by infidelity as I am, he does some crazy things with his voice, and the beat is hot. I feel so wrong saying that this song is hot…but what can I say. Click here to listen
Here is a bonus track from Trey Songz called “Fades Away”. I actually kinda like this. In my album review of “Trey Day”, I criticized his album for being 90% about sex and nothing else; so I’m glad to hear another song from him that isn’t so surface level. His voice sounds great and the production is perfect for the vibe and lyrical content of the song. Click here to listen
What do you think of these new tracks? Are you excited to hear new music from Danity Kane? Do you think the new material from Mario has been monotonous? How ridiculous is The Dream? Do you think “Fades Away” should have been on Trey’s album?

as retarded as “i luv your girl” is, if you can kinda ignore the stupidity of the lyrics, its a good song. its got that…idk, x factor. the combo of his voice and the background really is just amazing. too bad his lyrics are so retarded
i luv your girl is a banger. it’s a feel good vibe. a summer song vibe.
i love the beat and the vocal production/structure/etc. is great.
but the dream doesnt have a nice voice. it’s just as computerized as t-pain and a singing snoop.

Hi all,
I like your blog site. Keep doing the good job. This is for the whole crew. I from the Netherlands antilles from the eiland Curacao But I life in The Netherlands for about 10 year now. I have put you blog to my rss reader. back on the topic.
You right about The Dream song saying “I have a feeling that this song will still be a hit on the strength of the fact that people aren’t as turned off by infidelity as I am, he does some crazy things with his voice, and the beat is hot.”
Because I feel the same way, he has something unique with his voice. Correct if I’m wrong he is a songwriter right? He has write songs for manny artist out there. I think he will do somethiung different with his album. But the lyrics are not that strong.
Have you see the new video Falsetto from him. That song has something different with it. It will keep still in my head.
Sorry for my english I try my best to do it well.
I will keep visiting your blog. Keep doing the good work.
Have a nice day.

Am sorry,but Danity kane to me is not all that.
The boy band,I think tr name is Day 26 is much better!
I watched the video(they looked kinda slutty,considering the fact that their marketing themselves to teens and kids)
and that girl with the blond hair,voice is do dam annoying.
The song was called damage,and it was WACK! (and people say Chris Brown has no talent…….)Pleazeee!
In any case,the guy group should be promoted MUCH more.they remind me of 112.
So puffy,dump the girls and advance the boys.
