Usher is back with his highly anticipated new album “Here I Stand”. Will it be a collection of instant classics like “Love In This Club” or has his star faded?
First up is the “Intro” which fills in the blank about how his life has changed since his last album…he has found love, he has grown [...]
Common has a new track called “U.M.C. Universal Mind Control” featuring Pharrell. Wow so Common is switching it up with a dance track and high tempo track? I’m not mad at him, I’m digging this! It reminds me of like that old school Hip Hop Afrika Bambaataa type ish where people would break and pop [...]
Lil Kim has a new song called “Respirator”. Wow the digital voice alteration is soooooo unecessary. Lil Kim’s voice is one of her best assets so this voice thing is really counter productive. The lyrics aren’t sophisticated but it is kind of catchy. If she would’ve just stuck with her regular voice this could’ve been [...]
LL Cool J is releasing the first single from his new album called “Cry” featuring Lil Mo. Didn’t Ja Rule do damn near this exact same song back in 2001? Anytime you do a song that has already been done 7 years ago, it’s a bad look…but when you swagger jack Ja Rule, that is even [...]
Solange has a new song called “Sandcastle Disco”. I’m not sure yet if I would actually want to sit through an entire Solange album, but I definitely have to give her credit for doing something different and not just swagger jacking her sister’s sound. Her voice sounds good and I like the upbeat vibe of [...]
Usher has a new video for his song “Moving Mountains”. It takes entirely too long for anything to happen in this video and he clearly just said “f*&k effort” for the first 3 minutes. However, it does pick up eventually when Usher starts showing more emotion and conviction in the lyrics. I’m still waiting for [...]
Usher has a new track featuring Jay-Z called “The Best Thing”. I really like the lyrics of the song even though the production isn’t necessarily all that. I’m glad to hear Hov moving on from his “30s the new 20s” and actually talking about being grown and serious. Fellas take note from Jay- the grass [...]
Michelle Williams has a new video for her song “We Break The Dawn”. Hmmm…I’m not impressed. I’m already not a fan of the song and the video added nothing to it. It’s cool that she showed an ounce of personality but her dancing was pretty much nonexistent. The only part I really liked was when [...]
First up is “This Ain’t Sex”. I don’t recall what I wrote about this song when I reviewed it a few weeks ago, but it certainly sounds pretty good live. This is more grown and sexy and totally opposite of the more Hip Hop flavored “Love In This Club”. I guess Usher really is relinquishing [...]
Jennifer Hudson has a new track called “Spotlight”. Why in the world are people paying Stargate to make the same damn bland beat for everyone? I don’t get how JHud thinks she is going to burst onto the scene and get people excited about her new music when she is coming out with a song [...]
