Ryan Leslie – You’re Not My Girl: Ryan Leslie doesn’t sleep. Even though he released his debut album this past February, this is the lead single off of his upcoming album, Transition, which is due out this fall. This song is HOT! It reminds me a bit of Omarion’s “Entourage”…only better. Ryan Leslie is a musical genius and this is a must-have for the iPod.

July 1, 2009 New Music: Shakira & Nelly Furtado!

shakira-nelly-furtado

Latin ladies Shakira and Nelly Furtado are both gearing up to release new studio albums later this year. Shakira’s as-yet untitled album is reportedly due out in October and is rumored to feature contribution from super producers Pharrell Williams and Red One. “Loba (She Wolf)” is the lead single and in my opinion it sounds absolutely amazing. The 70s disco-inspired track is a new direction for Shakira, but she manages to retain her signature sound and unique vocals. I also like the fact that it’s been released in Spanish. According to fan forums, the Spanish as well as the English version will be available on iTunes July 14th!

Check out “Loba” below and let me know what you think!

June 27, 2009 New Music: Jeremih – Jeremih

Jeramih-album-cover

Jeremih, also known as Mr. Birthday Sex is ready to drop his debut album via Def Jam next week. The lead single, “Birthday Sex” has swept the nation reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and peaked at #4 on the Hot 100. It took a while for the song to grow on me, but after hearing it all over the radio I love it! I’m not sure sure about the rest of the album though. It has good moments, but if you’re looking for substance this is not the album for you. Despite the lack of lyrical substance in this album, Jeremih is indeed talented.

Take a listen to one of my favorite songs from the album, “Buh Bye” below, and check out Jeremih’s talent as he covers Stevie Wonder’s “Ribbon in the Sky” after the jump! Don’t forget to pick up Jeremih’s self titled debut album, Jeremih on June 30th!

June 23, 2009 New Music Video: Ciara – Work

ciara_work_video02

Honey, you better WORK! Ciara’s brand new video premiered earlier today and this is by far the hottest video I’ve seen from her in a long time. She gave me every single thing I needed and more in this video. Homegirl is dancing for her life! I guess she knew what she needed to do in order to boost those Fantasy Ride sales. Melina is one of the baddest directors in the business. I’m super thrilled that she and Ciara were able to make something so fierce! Only they could combine high fashion with a construction site and make it splendiferously divine!

See for yourself! Watch Ciara “Work” after the jump! CONTINUE READING

June 20, 2009 New Music: Toni Braxton – Pulse

toni-braxton-pulse-2009

2009 really is shaping up to be the year of the divas! With Mariah, Whitney, and Toni all scheduled to release albums in the fall, the airwaves (both radio and TV alike) should be flooded with talent. Take a listen to this newly leaked track from Ms. Braxton called “Pulse”, which is rumored to be the title track from her new album. It’s a beautifully sung, emotion-filled ballad that showcases Toni’s sultry voice as she sings about a dying relationship in need of a “pulse”. I’m not sure if this is set to be a single or not. Personally I think it’s a great album track, but I don’t think it has enough potential to be a lead single.

Listen to the track below!
