yeah, the original is so perfect that i'm slightly worried, but the tiny sample from the video shoot sounded promising.

Live in chicago for a year and hang w/ any R&B fans at all and you will meet lots of women who claim to be friends of his, lol

"Oh yeah i know him" = "i watch him perform @ funky buddha"
yeah i'm not the deepest peven follower or anything - found him a bit and miss from what i'd heard, probly unfairly given his versatility - but this one (sincerely yours) turned out to be my partic bowl of porridge. got all sorts on there but he stays light on his toes, basically, and the whole thing is agreeably balanced.

probably wearisomely alone on this but anyone else having trouble getting into that jazmine sullivan tune? no doubt about the high wholesome quality of the thing but i find it weirdly tight and intimidating almost, when, very generally speaking, reggae-lite tunes usually impart a sort of inclusive warmth, be it through a roughness or a looseness or... i dunno. perhaps it's the vibe of honouring lauryn hill's fire as well that makes it admirable moreso than lovable.
perhaps also i am just saving myself for hayden panetierre's reggae single oh yes

so ur saying you got no beef with what dream and carr do with their voices? sorry, i thought otherwise. i guess i have a similar thing going right now with sean garrett - 'girlfriend ringtone' (another hot cruisy los beat) has a lot going for it (like 'grippin' did too i suppose) but i just cannot get past the guy's awful nasal straining. (though it's also got also a wayne verse on it, and lloyd single aside i don't wanna hear him on r&b any more either.)
turbo 919 is not a good album anyway.

oh I got beef with what The-Dream does with his voice, all the tics and repeated syllables are a big part of my hate but a lot of it is just the voice itself. I guess what I'm saying is to me Lee Carr right now is just one song and the vocals take a backseat to the beat, I like the song but for the moment I have no real opinion on him. I keep going through a weird thing with "Grippin'" where I love it one listen and hate it the next back and forth, but Garrett's voice is definitely too annoying for me to want to hear much more from him as a performer.

kells' dwele rvw is on point, i think. was wary of some of the album's lighter touches at first, but it's all good now; luh-luh-love ultraaaaaaaaaa upthread #1, then 'shady' #2, and yeah i'll admit i was slow on the uptake with 'i'm cheating'.

Will Kelly Rowland get a break from being Beyonce's weave carrier and actually get a good record out? These are things I want to know. WTF about Cassie and Lil Wayne? The-Dream does with his voice, all the tics and repeated syllables are a big part of my hate but a lot of it is just the voice itself Yeah I've definitely got beef with that.
― VeronaInTheClub, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 14:37 (sixteen years ago) link
k-ro's already had a good single, a good album and a good bonus house remix out, and they all mostly got the public bozack - the fuck more is she to do? if all she ever does from henceforth is go to weatherspoonses with amerie i won't be mad.
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 15:01 (sixteen years ago) link
haha i dunno why i thought to bring bozack back! as it goes though i did wanna say that this -

ive read one review of the album tho and it was not a favorable one
yeah I don't think Kelly R is a compelling sympathy case anymore -- the group's over so if she still chooses to get her heaviest rotation with a cameo in a Beyonce video then she's made her bed and she can lie in it. after all the hubbub and that song with the permasmirk from Gym Class Heroes, did the re-release of Ms. Kelly even drop in the U.S.?
anyway the new Michelle Williams song is nice, good to see her moving on with her life post-Heath Ledger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKDyM2fzjN4
― some dude, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 15:48 (sixteen years ago) link
'girlfriend ringtone' is kinda tantalisingly close to being great actually - maybe a minor re-edit would do the trick. 'grippin' is still balls though.
was thinking nu skool los r&b dudes should maybe just save some money and JUMP ON IT, ON IT, ON IT instead
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 15:50 (sixteen years ago) link
tbh it is probly already los' beat what with him being some doctor who motherfucker jamming with inner city in 88 and whatnot

Beyonce has that 'ambition...look in her eyes' (to paraphrase Kanye) but Kelly does not. Simple. Michelle Williams song is nice, good to see her moving on with her life post-Heath Ledger Lol!
Also, do we like LaLa? She's like a more ghetto (much) older version of Jojo also reminds me of JLO circa 'Love Don't Cost A Thing' Sprung On A Thug Homegurlz Also, your thoughts on Asia Crus; Selfish

the Lloyd song kinda rips off its melody from 112's "Dance With Me"
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 17:19 (sixteen years ago) link
poorly phrased, but you get the gist
I've thought the same thing, too, although I have no idea if they're jacking the melody from some shared old source. that song and the rest of Part III = new millenium R&B classix in my house.

so obv cuz im too good for it so i never checked the chris brown album but 'forever' is a great single that obv sounds way gay, clubby and barely R&B

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x59ko2_chris-brown-forever_music
well it's the single off the reissue (or whatever they call it) of the album so even if you weren't too good for it originally it wouldn't have mattered
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 2 July 2008 06:38 (sixteen years ago) link
it is good though, it's not one of his top 3 or 4 singles imo but good enough in the context of pop radio. weird for a polow production also.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 2 July 2008 06:39 (sixteen years ago) link
its basically str8 up club music like that janet 'rock with u' joint lovin it
i dont like it as much as 'kiss kiss' but its great
― deej, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 06:41 (sixteen years ago) link
i dont know if this ever got posted in here or 07 r&b but this brown/t-pain song that i guess is leftover from the sessions they did for exclusive is pretty good. doesn't have the hitness at all of "kiss kiss" but would make a cool album track
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utmflIMdUE0
did anyone check the album btw? are the songs with big boi and wayne any good?

big boi track on chris brown's is great, kinda think of it as the sad guy on the other side of mccartney 'leavin'
wayne track depends on yr jazze pha mileage - song is no particular shakes but really very nice all the same, as ever, i never know why people hate on the guy
