.htm">Kelly Rowland
's" Second Album Is To Be Pushed Back 1 Week, This Track Also Leaked.It is called "Come Back", produced by "Scott Storch", this is a real 'club banger' which is extremely rare from Kelly.I really like this track, I think I will like it even more the more I listen to it, it's good to hear Ms Rowland do something a bit different.Give It A Listen & Tell Me What You Think."Kelly Rowland - Come Back"
In Memory... 2007-05-11 12:37:00 Just A Personal Post To Mark The Death Of Someone.A Tribute to a 17 year old who died in my town yesterday, I worked with him for a few months last year & got to know him a little bit, I wasn't one of his close friends but it's not good to see anyone you know die, especially someone younger than you.He passed his driving test on Saturday, crashed Wednesday & Died Thursday.R.I.P Read more:Memory
Omarion & Bow Wow Collabo... 2007-05-11 12:06:00 Billboard.comR&B Stars (Lil') "Bow Wow
" & "Omarion
" Have Revealed That They Are Working On An Album Together.This is an unusual step for two artists, who are quite different, to work on a whole album together, they will apparently start the recording process, of the two disc album, by the end of May.Bow Wow told Billboard.com:"Me and O have been trying to put this together for so many years, and now we've got the opportunity to do it"He Said:"We're in the creative process right now, still trying to come up with a title and everything. Me and him are coming up with ideas daily, so the process is gonna go real smooth. We're anxious to get in the studio together and make this whole thing happen."I'm not sure who is going to produce the collabo, but "Timbaland" & "Stargate" would be an awesome contrast to produce such a unique record.I'm not so sure of how good it will be, I think that the two sounds won't really flow together, but only time will tell.
"Rihanna - Shut Up & Drive" 2007-05-10 12:48:00 Rip - Chris-PixHere Is The Apparent Second Single From "Rihanna
's" New Album "Good Girl Gone Bad"."Shut Up & Drive" is a middle of the road track, it has nothing on "Umbrella" but has it's charms, it feels more advanced than Rihanna's last album, but if this is the substance of her new album, I can't see it being a huge hit.Give it a listen, it's a radio edit, so not that hot."Rihanna - Shut Up & Drive" (Radio Rip)
"Cherish - Keep It Fresh" 2007-05-29 13:34:00 A Brand New Track Has emerged From R&B Group "Cherish
".It is entitled "Keep It Fresh", it has a somewhat childish beat, but it's pretty hot none the less.I liked there earlier material, both "Do It To It" & "Unappreciated", were both consistent & well produced tracks, this song follows on that line & is rumoured to be produced by "Jazze Pha".There is definately a void left by "Destiny's Child" that has never been filled, there are plenty of solo female artists out there but not too many groups. Maybe Cherish will fill that gap, but there is always "Danity Kane" on the horizon.Let Me Know What You Think About This New Track?LISTEN: "Cherish - Keep It Fresh"
Preview: "Kanye West - Stronger" 2007-05-29 12:50:00 Here Is A Brand New Clip From "Kanye
's" New Album, A Snippet Of A Track Called "Stronger".It samples "Daft Punk's" "Harder, Better, Stronger, Faster" & uses it well, this beat is HOTT.This is more what I wanted to hear from Kanye, I can't wait for his album to finally drop, he has used this sample so well, Daft Punk are masters of dance beats & not given enough credit, I'm not sure what they are up to now but I hope this track helps them out.LISTEN: "Kanye West

"Kanye West - Can't Tell Me Nothing" Video 2007-05-28 13:21:00 Here Is The Brand New Video From Rapper Superstar "Kanye
West".Apparently, "Can't Tell Me Nothing
" will not be the 1st single from his new album, but more of a 'Buzz' single to generate some hype.I'm not a fan of this this track, nor the video, I surely hope Kanye pulls out some magic for his album, if there is more of this I will be extremely disappointed."Graduation", West's 3rd full studio album, will be out September 18th.Let Me Know What You Think?Kanye West

"Eve - Tambourine" (Video) 2007-05-25 12:04:00 Here Is The Fantastic New Video From E-V-E.Tambourine is the debut single from "Eve's" new album "Here I Am", the video itself is brilliant, it's "Missy Elliott" style randomness is great, I was surprised at just how good it was. It's a real party track, the production from "Swizz Beats" is on-point as usual, I hope & believe, this will be her biggest hit so far, can't wait for the album to drop.Eve - TambourineUploaded by yardie4lifeWhat Do You Think, Hot Or Not?
Eve - Tambourine Video Shoot 2007-05-24 13:33:00 Here Are A Couple Of Shots Of "Eve" While Filming Her New Video For "Tambourine".Eve is looking on top form & I have really been liking the song since I first heard it, this may well be her biggest hit. I like Eve's style & attitude, she manage to be fiery while still maintaining a sense of class.Check Out The Shots Below, Is She Looking Good? Read more:Shoot
"Ne-Yo - Do You" (Video) 2007-05-24 13:08:00 Here Is The Brand New Video From R&B Superstar "Ne-Yo".It is scheduled to be his new single from his current hit album "Because Of You", it is titled "Do You" & is a good choice as a second single. Same old song from Ne-Yo once again, but I can't seem to dislike them, his writing style is perfect, he is a real 'Hit Maker'.Check Out The Video Below & Let Me Know What You Think?
"Timbaland ft. The Hives - Throw It On Me" (Video) 2007-05-23 12:51:00 Here Is A Brand New Video Of A Fantastic Track Taken From Timbo's Current Album.It features Rock band "The Hives
" & is one of my favourites from the album, called "Throw
It On Me", it is not particularly Hip-Hop, & does not fit Timbo's usual sound, but that is why I love it so much, proof once more that "Timbaland
" is the King of producers.This will not be his next single, it is scheduled to be "Way I Are" or maybe "Apologize" in the UK, I have heard rumours of both.Either way, the video for "Way I Are" is to be premiered next week.Anyway, the video is pretty awesome as well, give it a look & tell me what you think of it?Timbaland - Throw It On Me (feat. The Hives)Uploaded by yardie4life
"Black Eyed Peas - More" 2007-05-22 13:18:00 Here Is A Another Brand New Track From "The Black
Eyed Peas". Unfortunately It's Not From Their New Album.The track is called "More" & is for a new "Pepsi" campaign. It's great to hear new material from BEP, I think they are the most innovative group to emerge in years.This is not a bad track, but you can't expect anything earth shattering for a Pepsi Ad.I can't wait for their new album, apparently it will be called "From Ruits To Fruits", but I have heard no confirmation of it's release date yet.Tell Me What You Think Of It?LISTEN: "Black Eyed
Peas - More" Read more:Black Eyed Peas
"Justin Timberlake - LovesSoned" 2007-05-22 12:47:00 This Is To Be The 4th UK Single From "Justin
's" Current Smash Album, Produced By Timbaland, It's Sure To Do Well.The vibe I get from people about this track is pretty negative, but I have always really liked it, I think it's original, energetic & a real summer tune. I hope they don't tamper with the album version too much as it has a chord that sounds like a rip from "Red Hot Chilli Peppers" "By The Way", plus a deadly beat.Give it a listen & let me know what you think of it. Hit Or Miss? LISTEN: "Timberlake

Riri... 2007-05-21 12:11:00 Today, Unexpectedly, Rihanna's New, Highly Anticipated Album; "Good Girl Gone Bad" Was Leaked.I have been looking forward to this album for quite some time, I haven't had a chance to have a listen yet, but as soon as I do, there will be a review.On another note, Riri has also performed a live session here in the UK for "Radio 1's Big Weekend", it's not a bad show from the 19 year old. But she still needs a little work on her vocal talent, there are some obvious weak notes in her voice, but mainly she needs a little more energy in it.Here is the download link for her new album, even if you download it from here, go & buy it in stores on June 4th. (Legal: If You Download From This Link, You Must Delete It From Your Hard Drive Within 24 Hours)"Rihanna - Good Girl Gone Bad"Plus, here is her live performance from this weekends show:
"Cassie ft. Ryan Leslie - Sometimes" 2007-05-20 14:31:00 Here Is The Brand New Single From "Cassie
".It has been ripped from her Myspace page (sorry) & features "Ryan Leslie
", who also produced the track, with his signature, uptempo sound.As with all Cassie's material, the production is absolute perfection, but as usual, her vocals are pretty poor, I really like her style & her sound. I hope her vocal talent improves enough for her to stick around, she probably will, you can't keep a "Bad Boy" artist down.Give The Track A Listen & Let Me Know What You Think?"Cassie ft. Ryan Leslie

"Lauryn Hill - Lose Myself" 2007-05-18 13:40:00 Rip - Rapup.comHere Is A Brand New Track From R&B Legend "Lauryn Hill".It is called "Lose Myself" & is taken from the soundtrack to the new movie "Surfs Up", it has an up tempo beat & randomly arranged, almost Gospel like vocals. It's not a bad track but nothing on her previous material, you can certainly tell it's just a soundtrack.I can't wait for Lauryn's new album to drop, we have waited years now, I can forgive her, as long as it is as good as "Misseducation".Tell Me What You Think Of "Lose Myself"?LISTEN: "Lauryn Hill - Lose Myself"

LightHere Is A Brand New Track From The "Black Eyed
Peas", But You Will Have To Wait A Little Longer For A Full Comeback.This is a charity single in aid of "Save Darfur" (Very Good Cause), it is a cover / adaptation from "John Lennon".This is a very welcome return for B.E.P, I cannot wait for a new album to emerge, as this single goes, it is a nicely produced, well performed track, let's hope it does well.

"T.I - Big Things Poppin'" (Video) 2007-05-17 12:44:00 This Is The Brand New Single & The Eagerly Awaited Return Of "T.I.".His new single "Big Things
Poppin'" is the first single off of his new album "T.I vs T.I.P", which will be available July 3rd.I'm never quite sure about T.I's rapping ability, I am more a fan of hits beats, some of which are Epic & only seem to get better with time.Tell Me What You Think Of This Video, Leave A Comment...
"Fergie - Big Girls Don't Cry" (Video) 2007-05-17 09:57:00 Here Is The New Video From The Glamorous "Fergie
-Ferg", It Is Taken From Here Current Album; "The Dutchess" & Is Called "Girls
.htm">Big Girls
Don't Cry".If my sources are correct, this song was apparently 'stolen' by Fergie from an upcoming "Bad Boy Entertainment" artist "Jordan McCoy", she allegedly gave Fergie permission to record the song, but not to put it on her album, nor to release it as a single.It is a good single, & not a bad song on the whole, a good chorus, memorable enough to at least give her a top 10 hit. After the calamity that was "London Bridge" I though that Fergie's album would be nasty, tacky crap, but maybe I was wrong.Anyway, Give The Video A Look & Leave A Comment, Let Me Know What You Think Of It?Fergie - Big Girls Don

"50 Cent - Amusement Park" (Video) 2007-05-16 12:51:00 Here Is The Brand New Video From "50 Cent" Taken From His New Album "Curtis".50 is well & truly back on the rampage, & although I think his rhymes as pretty crap you have to give him credit, he is one of the highest earning men in entertainment today. I think he is talented, but he moves in the wrong direction, rather than using his talent wisely, most of his material is just whack.This track just sounds like the all the other crappy singles (i.e. Candy Shop), if you want to see some of 50's real skills, check out a track called; "Disco Inferno".Check Out His New Video & Let Me Know What You Think Of It, No Talent?Or Deservedly On Top?

West's" New Single.It is set to drop on the 18th of September & is taken from his new album "Graduation".While the track has hot production, courtesy of "DJ Troop", I'm not really feeling it, which is a shame, as I was looking forward to his new album for months now.I wanted another "Goldigger" or "All Falls Down", but instead it seems almost mediocre.Give It A Listen & Tell What What You Think?"Kanye West

American Idol 2007... 2007-05-15 10:34:00 No Your Right, It's Not Very Urban At All, But...I have heard a rumour re-emerge, that "Michael Jackson" may appear on the Finale of this years American
Idol, this would be fantastic to see as it would be the kick start he needs if he is to make a comeback.Another, more realistic rumour that I have heard is that the UK winner of X-Factor "Leona Lewis" will appear onstage, to get he noticed in the US. I don't think she will have a problem, the range & pure electricity of her voice will make her a world wide superstar, I think she is the next "Whitney Houston".Anyway, as we are down to the last 3 on this year Idol, it may be worth keeping your eyes & ears open, just in case we do see MJ.Tell Me What You Think?Is It Too Late For A Jaclson Comeback, Or Is He Still The King?

Nas & Kelis... MTV Show... 2007-05-13 10:36:00 As You May Have Heard, & As I Have Mentioned Before, Kelis
& Nas Have An Upcoming Reality Show Coming Up.Here is a short clip of the show, it's not much, but it gives the feeling that the show will focus more on the life of Kelis. Many people have pointed out that MTV shows bring bad luck for celeb couples, i.e. Nick & Jessica (The Newlyweds), but I don't think that will be the case with Kelis & Nas.I can't wait for the show to air in the UK, there is a truth that people don't seem to see about Kelis. I think she is one of the best female recording artists in the WORLD, her talent as a producer is unique, plus her raspy vocals are a fantastic, she is most definately one of my favourite artists at the moment. Plus, her attitude & personality are both huge, I think this show will be a hit & will do good for both of them.Check out my review of her current album here.(I am feeling that I should have given it 5 stars now... I Absolutely Love It)
Timbo & Furtado To Make 'Rock Band' 2007-05-13 10:04:00 Source - TimbothekingAccording To An Interview With Nelly Furtado
, She & Timbaland Have A 'Rock Band' Planned.I use the word 'rock' in the lightest form possible, while Timbo can produce hot rhythms & beats for rock bands, he is not a rocker, Furtado agrees, admitting to Billboard.com:"I don't think it'd be, like, a real rock band. It'd be more like our version of alternative, so it wouldn't necessarily be like heavy and guitar-driven. It would be left field, and not necessarily pop"She continues, saying:"We keep arguing over names. I want these really weird, subversive names, and (Timbaland) wants these mysterious, like, 'Lord of the Rings' kind of names. We can't decide."Whatever they do decide on calling the band, I think it really might work, I can't see it being a mega selling success & I don't think they should continue calling it 'rock'. But, I feel it will have a cult following & really hope it goes ahead, I would love to hear some material.Below is Timbaland
