Actually, definitely a good thing. The album's a bit front-loaded, so the wakeup is a positive.

EHGHHHCK @ title track

so, um.. yeah. this new Ne-Yo single is the business. Everyone is doing the 4/4 beat now.
Also jayms madison - room service has been on constant repeat on my iPod for the last 2 weeks or so.

???? i have the vinyl + download of the album and both have the fab verse
-- deej, Sunday, 2 March 2008 23:52 (1 week ago) Link
OK, I thought based on Jordan's post that he wasn't on the album version, but my point still stands that the song was getting spins for MONTHS before the Fab verse was added.

btw what do y'all think of the new Ashanti:

I think the song is kinda alright but the miscalculation of it as a comeback single spills over into almost WTF territory with the over the top video.
― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 11 March 2008 14:36 (sixteen years ago) link
this is actually her 3rd single. I like it, though it's too big for her voice and would be much better if Keyshia or someone like that was singing it, but it's a good song..
― The Brainwasher, Tuesday, 11 March 2008 14:41 (sixteen years ago) link
it's definitely the best out of the 3 and it'll be a moderate-sized hit for her most likely, it's already doing better than "switch" and "hey babe"
― The Brainwasher, Tuesday, 11 March 2008 14:42 (sixteen years ago) link
oh I'm sure she's been releasing "first singles" into an uncaring marketplace for the past two years, but this is still the first one that's gotten a video and they're calling it the lead single now.

new lloyd/wayne collabo is lazy and kind of awful

although the opening few bars of waynes verse are kind of great i think
guys this 'single again' remix with lil wayne/plies/ross is so ridiculous

this chorus still kills tho
also plies opening line is "DAMN RIGHT I CHEATED" surprise surprise

rick ross singing about relationships

not feeling that ne-yo at all, something overslick and nasty about it. also being called 'closer', you tend to imagine that's his alltime favourite film (or better yet no, he totally prefers the play). oh ne-yo!
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 13:30 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I could totally picture Ne-Yo and Panic At The Disco bonding over shitty movies they all love after some award show.
― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 13:46 (sixteen years ago) link
probably his fave joy division album too, let's face it
cherish song is aight actually, between this and the 'killa' video they might well be the lone standing standard-bearers of edgy boss bitch 00s r&b. maybe. not quite convinced yet though. "but in my true religion / i'm so far from pigeon", haha good work dream
jayms madison just feels so post-ryanleslie bedroom internetty that i'm not sure it's even worth repping for however well put-together it be
enjoyed the lloyd, no great shakes but it is pleasant to me. 'how we do' kinda getting critslammed huh? not sure i quite get the nuance of what people are wanting from him tbh
ashanti, whatevs

mightve been awesome if he'd kept going and widescreen unfolded it a la 'ditch that' with loads of echoplex'd harmonizing and whatnot, bass booms and claps all coming back for the crescendo
i phoned polow and he agreed

song id? has akon on it, but not akon's song I don't think, refrain is something like "girl, stop showing off". That's not it at all, but that's it at all, but that's kind of the gist of things.

Thx for being able to make sense of my garbled post. That's it. I guess Colby O'Donis joins Oneal McKnight on the Irish r&b singer list. Speaking of whom, screw his label for adding Greg Nice (!?) to "Check Your Coat". All 'spect to him, but dude fucks up the song.

Brandon Hines new single... there's been lots of hype about this guy and he's gained a pretty big following off of his indepently released album Love Music. Now he's on a major.. really talented dude.

he's like trey songz without the rapping and the annoying vibrato.

also, my girl Jazmine Sullivan is going to be featured on Missy's new album. Should be great, their previous collabos are awesome. Especially this one whenever her debut comes out it's going to be GAME OVER.
