October 19, 2009 Jam It? Or Slam It? Lady Gaga – Bad Romance

Lady_gaga_bad_romance

Here we have the finished, finalized, version of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.” An unfinished version has been floating around for a few weeks now and I wasn’t too thrilled with it, but Lady Gaga assured us that the final version would be much better. Well, she lied! It still has Red One’s typical, stale, production and it sounds like a rehashed version of “Pokerface.” This makes me question what exactly she’s going for on this re-release because I was under the impression that the new songs were going to be really different. If they are, then the label is trying to play it safe and keep it radio friendly with this poor single choice.

Love muffins, do we jam it? Or slam it?

New Video: Alicia Keys – Doesn’t Mean Anything

Alicia-Keys-02

Last week we were given a small taste of what to expect from Alicia Keys’ brand new video for “Doesn’t Mean Anything”, and I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect other than that she would look absolutely stunning. Alicia hit us with another simple, yet sophisticated video that doesn’t draw too much attention from the song itself. It’s not my favorite video, but hopefully this P. R. Brown directed clip can give her single a boost on the charts.

October 16, 2009 New Music: JoJo – Impossible To Love

jojo_0831081

Seems like things are really coming together for JoJo. She announced earlier this week that her label has reached a distribution deal with Interscope to distribute her new album, All I Want Is Everything! This is great news coming from an artist with such great material. The latest track to leak was produced by Harvey Mason & Oak and it’s a nice mid-tempo jam. JoJo’s vocals are near flawless as usual and she glides effortlessly over the production, even with the synthesized harmonies. The track kind of reminds me a bit of the song “25 to Life,” which she previously recorded. Now that we have all these promising tracks, all we need is a release date for the album. Come on JoJo!

Get into the track below & let me know what you think!

October 15, 2009 New Music: Timbaland Ft. Shakira & Lil Wayne – Give It Up To Me

Timbaland_shakira

UPDATE: Supposedly this will be Shakria’s 2nd single and the track will appear on the US version of her album.

Timbaland’s highly anticipated Shock Value 2 is set to drop on November 24th, the same day as Shakira’s She Wolf is scheduled to hit stores. I’m not sure if this is set to be the lead single from Tim’s project, but I think it wouldn’t be a bad look for either one of them. Shakira’s vocals sound great over urban beats, and Timbaland’s production is consistent as usual. Lil Wayne’s feature is okay…but it’s typical Weezy.

Get into the track below and let me know what you think!

New Music: Brandy – I Don’t Really Care

brandy-promo-052909-1

This track leaked earlier this year as a demo by the super talented Ne-Yo, but now we are lucky to have Brandy’s version which I’m assuming is from the recording sessions for her new album. “I Don’t Really Care” is a nice track and I’m glad the production differs somewhat from the leaked demo. Brandy really can sing just about anything and it’s going to be great! Check out the track below!
