i picked up estelle and jazmine sullivan yesterday. i liked Jaz, but LOVE estelle. haven't even been able to take it out of the car long enough to get it on the ipod.

AND... with TI coming out next week i have completely spent the month's "entertainment" budget on music. :-)

^^^
Don't forget Robin and JHud is next week too.

dammit! i'll buy jen but robin is gonna have to get borrowed from someone.

So... I havent picked up Jazmine Sullivan's album, but I might be over her. I watched her BET special, and the songs seem boring. I loved "Lions, Tigers, and Bears" and "I'm In Love With Another Man", but everything else was sort of boring. I hope her album doesn't disappoint, since I LOVE her voice.

BLUTANG, I'll let you borrow Robin when I get it! :cool:

Her CD is cool...some of the songs will have to grow on me though...

Toni's got a new deal and other music news:

I'm glad Chico's bank and After 7 has reunited. :)

Ya'll I got Jazmine Sullivan and I'm so glad... I LOVE this album. I'm not done listening because "I'm In Love With Another Man" is on repeat. "Fear" is another great one. Salaam Remi's production = LOVE!!!! Move over UK soul, it's Jaz and JHud's time to shine!!!!!

Jazmine's CD is ok. "Fear" has been on repeat in my car...I LOVE this song!!! "Lions, Tigers and Bears" is nice and I fell in love with "I'm In Love With Another Man" ever since I heard it on YouTube.

Ne-Yo's CD is good. "Stop This World" is my song!!!

Good to see A7 back together.

I heard Rapheal Saddiq's latest was good. It has a Motown vibe. I'm not a fan, so I doubt I'd pick it up.

Robin, JSullivan and JHud are on my list.

Because I heard so many songs from Jazmine, I was expecting something different. A slower groove. I didn't care for the cd...at first. I played it again and love it!

Very nice!!!:)

I picked up JSull. Also, I copped LilWayne. I know I'm late, but I'm digging Ms. (Mr.) ;) Officer. :D :D ;) ;) :p

I heart Lil Wayne! I need to get a copy of the Carter III.

I love this thread. Some of y'all have interesting tastes! I'm going through a Leona Lewis phase right now. I've been listening to "Better in Time" nonstop for about 2 days. I'm getting her CD this week; I can't hold out anymore. :o

T.I., Jennifer Hudson and Robin Thicke are out today!!! :)

-This is the first time I ever listened to a T.I. CD, and it's not that bad.

-JHud's debut is pretty decent, as far as debuts go. I really like the song w/Fantasia and the gospel song at the end.

JHud's is pretty good. I'm feeling the song with her and Fantasia. Surprised that they didn't put the song from SATC on her album.

I'll tell you how Robin is tomorrow.

i'm seriously digging the new Robin Thicke CD. :cool:

anthony david is good too and the new raphael saadiq is serious business (if you like the 60's reminscent flava).

but um, er, uh...where's maxwell's new cd? how is he gonna do tours but not put out a cd? huh?! :mad::)

Robin's CD is very nice! It's a mixed bag of everything: soul, R&B, Motown, rock, pop, disco(!) :D

John Legend's new album is up on AOL music if you want to take a listen.

I recently purchased MaryMary's new cd "The Sound." I do like it however there were two songs in particular that I did forget what I was listening too...the songs are pretty "bumpin" though...

I LOVE the album!

If I ever meet John Legend in person, I will lose all of my pride and ask him to marry me! :D I have a super duper crush on him!

I love "God in Me"!

Ugh... I hate Common's new single. Well, I don't HATE it, but it's not my favorite. :(

HATED IT! :mad: He needs to stop fooling around with Serena and get back on track.

YES!!! That is my song....I like Super Friend too....I tend to have 3,4, and 5 on heavy rotation!!!

Supposedly the new album will be "for the clubs."

I hate to admit it but Wayne Brady has a new CD and it is really nice. He actually went out and found some soul.

Also Q-Tip's new one comes out today.

J-Sullivan's cd is very eclectic with all different sounds. I love Hurricane, Fear, Lions Tigers and Bears, and I'm in Love with Another Man, and I Bust The Windows Out Your Car! So in short, that cd is great to me because I like more than half of the songs.

I've heard great things about JHud and Eric Benet. I'm going to get those ASAP!

I've been listening to this CD since last week. It's on FIYAH!!! He brought Hip-Hop back. :cool:

Me too! I logged on GC just to proclaim how much I love 3, 4, and 5. I feel bad though because 4 and 5 are so borderline club/hip hop.

The overall cd is great.

Johnathan Nelson's album is AWESOME! My Name is Victory and Right Now Praise are on heavy rotation!

YEESSSS! LOL...I had to catch myself:D....Thankya Jesus!!

I would agree. I do like some songs on there.

And btw, I didn't know this was her 2nd album :confused:...there was a first??

Eric Benet and Maxwell
 

Eric Benet's joint, Love & Life, is ridiculous, that's all I am able to say about that. I also just bought Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite, Now and Embrya, just to get re-acquainted with his genius again.

Yes.

I'm sooo glad to hear that for real. I've only heard "Gettin Up", and that's definitely Hip Hop.

I'm digging Wayne Brady (will buy this weekend for real). That is something you can just let play and be okay with it.

Another repeat the whole CD: Ledisi. I might be late, but I bought it a couple of weeks ago, and now I can't be without it. (Am I getting old? Nyahhh, just maturing. ;) )

I am soooo disappointed with Beyonce's new CD! You have to get the deluxe edition (16 tracks) to get the entire CD, so for those people who picked up the regular edition (11 tracks), they will be pissed off. "I Am" (disc 1) was a bold move, but it fell flat. I was bored with it halfway through. "Sasha Fierce" (disc 2) was GARBAGE!!! Most of it sounded like a bunch of recycled tracks. Beyonce has done so much better than this. This is a complete letdown!

Favorites:
If I Were a Boy
Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)
Smash Into You

Disappear

Yeah...she has all of her tracks on her myspace page and I knew then that I was not buying that mess...I couldn't get into it....

Yeah I copped the deluxe version, but I wish she had concentrated on just making a very sold single disc. This is her third album and I expect more from her. It's like she's not maturing as an artist and just relying on lazy songwriting and production. I am, however, looking forward to her tour.

BTW, Target has 3 different versions of the album all at different prices. So beware which version you're getting. Two of the covers are the same.

I also bought my album (the deluxe version) from Target. I paid $20 and I think so because it was the one with the pass to get exclusive tickets for her concert.

Since I only listen to CDs in the car, I'm still on the I Am... CD. Some of the songs I heard so far are ok, but the Ava Maria has me :confused:.

I hope this is not the year of the great artists with the bad CDs (did you hear that Usher?). Thank God Kanye is out on Monday. :D
