New Music: Charli Baltimore “All Lies”

charli

2012 is looking… hopeful! Charli Baltimore is back bitches. You do not understand how excited I am right now.

I used to stan for this girl back in the 90′s and to see she’s finally going to release an album? WHAT?!?! Lawd YES! “Cold As Ice” was solid but never saw the light of day… 2012 is different.

All Lies” is her first single from her upcoming album “True Lies” which drops in July. The song features Maino and her daughter, India on the chorus. This song is about every day things we go through in “love“. I hope it gets some radio play because it’s actually not a bad track at all.

Attention Barbz… This is REAL rap, not that shit y’all sing along to.

New Music: Ne-Yo “Lazy Love”

Ne-Yo Lazy Love

My favorite Senior Vice President of A&R at Universal Motown, Ne-Yo, has released what is rumored to be his lead single from his upcoming release “R.E.D“.

Lazy Love” finds the R&B crooner returning to his, well, R&B roots. I can’t say this song is single worthy and I doubt it’ll be a hit. I just can’t see it getting a lot of radio play. An album filler would be a better fit for the song. Maybe he will damage control and say it is a buzz single.

R.E.D. drops this September 18th… I think it’s safe to say we will hear a lot more from Ne-Yo before then.

Ciara Signs With Epic Records

Ciara finally has a label home. Maybe I am late but according to one of my favorites, ToyaCiara is no longer a free agent.

How do you all feel about her signing with Epic Records? I think it is a good move. Toya mentioned how Ciara is in her 20′s, she’s very marketable… But what exactly will Epic focus on to spark the people’s interest in her again? She’s a good performer, well dance wise that is. She needs new dance moves and to return to her “Crunk & B” roots in my opinion. Also, Jennifer Lopez went back with Epic. You can read more at Toya’z World.

Preview 5 Tracks from Monica’s “New Life”

monica-newlife

Monica’s 7th studio effort is due to drop next Tuesday, April 10th and 5 previews have dropped via YouTube. Production on the album was handeled by Bryan-Michael Cox, Jermaine Dupri, Missy Elliott, Lamb, Rico Love, Polow da Don, and Salaam Remi, among others.

Mo and Brandy released “It All Belongs To Me” but it failed to deliver like their 1990′s hit “The Boy Is Mine“. Nothing out of the 5 previews totally wow me, but the full album may be worth a listen. “In 3D” sounds like it may be promising but I need more than a one minute snippet. Tracks after the jump.

My girlfriend, Trey Songz has released his highly some what anticipated song “Heart Attack“.

It’s a typical R&B song with curse words that don’t blend in as well as the Head Barbie In Charge, Drake’s curse words do. The beat is nice though. I can definitely see this getting some airplay. Song after the cut.

Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is almost among us. With that being said, expect lots of leaks from Nicki Minaj. Up first, “Right By My Side” featuring Chris Brown.

Think Like A Man will be in theaters April 20th and the lead single from the featured soundtrack is amazing. Jennifer Hudson featuring Ne-Yo and Rick Ross have the title track “Think Like A Man“. The sound is definitely different for JHud and I can’t say I’m disliking it at all. Kevin Hart is also in the video for a few laughs. Check out the song and video after the jump.

Teyana Taylor is giving me life with this new song “D.U.I“! There is something about the beat, melody and vocals that give me a case of the happy’s. With guest appearances by Fabolous and Jadakiss, this song is sure to please most. The track is lifted from Teyana’s upcoming mixtape “The Misunderstanding Of Teyana Taylor” which is due out on March 12.

New Music: Rita Ora “Party & Bullshit”

ROC Nation’s latest star in the making is none other than Rita Ora. Some of you may have heard the Albanian-British gem before. Jay-Z brought her to Z100 yesterday to premiere her American debut single “Party & Bullshit“.

Many are comparing Rita to Jay-Z’s other creation, Rihanna. What do you think? Do you think Rita is coming to snatch Rihanna’s wig? Personally, I think they are two different artists. In my opinion, Rita should be compared to Katy Perry rather than Rihanna. Check out her light, summery jam and her American radio debut after the jump.
