August 31, 2009 New Music: Brandy – Bet You Didn’t Know + Supreme

brandy-promo-052909-1

UPDATE: Another new track called “Supreme” has been added after the jump!

I know it’s going to be a good day when a new Brandy track surfaces. “Bet You Didn’t Know” was produced by Stargate and may be from new recording sessions as she’s already stated numerous times that she’s hard at work on her next studio album which doesn’t have a set release date. I’m thinking early 2010, but nothing’s been confirmed. Don’t quote me, because this could also be a left-over from her Human recording sessions. I also just learned that Megan Rochelle recorded this song back in 2007, so I don’t really know what to think about it. Either way it’s a great track!

August 27, 2009 New Music: Mariah Carey – I Want To Know What Love Is

Memoirs_Of_An_Imperfect_Angel_Mariah_Carey_062509_1

Mariah’s official first single was set to premiere later this week, but lucky for us it leaked early! “I Want to Know What Love Is” is a remake of the 80s classic originally performed by Foreigner. I knew that when it was time for Mimi to bring it that she would come and shut it down! She is singing her ass off. Period. Everything that Mariah has to offer is beautifully crafted into this song. The song has been described as a “powerhouse ballad” and I have to admit that I wasn’t sure what exactly to expect, but this blew me away. I can’t wait to hear this live because I know that she is going to bring it!

August 25, 2009 New Music: Lloyd – Pusha

Pusha_lloyd

After departing from his longtime label home, The Inc., Lloyd is currently working on a new album. His new single “Pusha” is a smooth R&B track produced by The Runners. The “love is a drug” reference is getting a bit stale, but other than that I really like this song. I’m not sure what it is, but after the first few listens I instantly became hooked. His last album, Lessons in Love, debuted at number 7 on the Billboard 200 chart, but since then has failed to perform and has yet to even be certified gold. Hopefully he sees more success with this record because Lloyd actually makes really solid R&B music. If you wanna keep up with Lloyd and get the inside scoop on his new album, you can follow him on Twitter!

Listen to “Pusha” below!

August 21, 2009 Jam It? Or Slam It? Adrienne Bailon – Superbad

Adrienne_Bailon_

Adrienne Bailon (formerly of 3LW and The Cheetah Girls) has been pursuing a solo career for quite some time now and after signing with Def Jam earlier this year we finally get to see what exactly Adrienne has to offer. “Superbad “is slated to be Adrienne’s first official single off of her forthcoming album. It’s pretty decent. I’m not sure exactly what to expect from her because all of her past efforts are completely different. The song’s good enough that with a good video and proper promotion it should do pretty well. If you want to keep up with Adrienne and get the latest news on her album, be sure to follow her on Twitter!

August 19, 2009 Jam It? Or Slam It? Omarion – Get It In (First Single)

omarion_single_

UPDATE: Rumor has it that Omarion has been dropped from Young Money after leaking his own record. Damn.

After recently signing to Lil Wayne’s Young Money label, Omarion is ready to drop his first album with his new label home. “Get It In” is supposedly the first single from his upcoming album and it features Lil Wayne. The beat knocks, but Omarion’s flow throws me off. He should stick to singing because this whole attempt at rapping isn’t working for me. Even though he’s not the most talented singer, in my opinion his singing sounds a hell of a lot better than this. I will say that it leaves me curious as to what direction he’s going in with this next project.

August 14, 2009 Listen Up: Trey Songz ft. Drake – Successful

drake_trey_songz

I know “Successful” has been around for a minute, but lately it’s been connecting with me on a whole new level. Drake previously released the song on a mixtape featuring Trey Songz & Lil Wayne, but it’s also featured on Trey’s upcoming album Ready and has Trey singing an extra verse. Do we all “just wanna be successful” and make our dreams come true?
