Ditto. I am expecting MUCH greater things than what I heard. I liked the lyrics to the first song better, but the music of the second one better.

AMERIE has a song out on the radio here in DC. Haven't heard it yet though. She is definitely supposed to be coming out with an album, though, some time this year.

I wondered what happend to her. She doesn't host "The Center" on BET anymore. :confused:

WHERE THE HAYLE IS MAXWELL?

Yeah, I was yellin'! :D :p

She left The Center to film a role in "The First Daughter" (an upcoming film un which she plays the roommate of the President's daughter. Right after that, she went back in he studio to work on the upcoming album.

Teena Marie's New CD
 

I asked this question over in the Delta Forum because I did not realize the music thread was over here. Has anyone listened to Teena Marie's new CD and if so what did you think. Some of my co-workers and I have a friendly disagreement about whether or not this new CD is as good as her older music. I am a little biased so I need some outside input.

I don't even have Teena Marie's album.

But I also wasn't feeling the Jill Scott cuts. Maybe those are the not so good songs.

Mario Winans' album has me HOOKED. I can't get past track #4. Anybody else feelin' him like me?

Re: Teena Marie's New CD
 

I love Teena Marie, and yes I have her new CD. I have only listened to the first 2 cuts, but they are very good.

It made it to the top 10 this week. It's number 6. I think that's impressive to say the least. I believe most of the top 10 is made up of rappers/hip-hop artists.

I am so glad to hear that her CD is doing well. It is good to have an artist of Teena Marie's caliber back in the spotlight. I have to be honest though, I would have liked to have seen someone like a Babyface, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis or even Prince produce this album for her. Other than the first 2 tracks on the CD, I do not feel that the producers from that Cash Money Crew did Lady Tee's talents the justice they deserve. To me Teena Marie is on a totally different level. I know I am going to catch some flack by saying this, but if you took away the “studio airbrush” from most of these new musical divas on the scene, and evaluated them on just straight SINGING talent alone, Teena Marie would leave all of their behinds in the dust.

You won't catch any flak for stating the absolute truth!! :D :D :D

Lenny Kravitz's "where are we runnin"
 

Has anyone seen this video? I saw it last night...Lenny is out of it! He looks like he's really high and I believe that he is. You can go to Yahoo Launch and catch it.

I saw the video this morning....I don't think he is high, I think that's just the concept of the video.

Yes, I am feeling it too. His CD is cool. I can listen to it straight through.

I know RedefinedDiva...I'm feeling that.

I just saw the Brandy video for the first time and I'm totally feeling it. I like the song and the concept in the video. Good stuff.

I wasn't feeling the song until I saw the video, and now I'm like yeah.....

You sound like me. ;) :D

I don't know for what. I thought she sucked, really.

Uh huh...and I'm also liking her with hair. Even though it's weave, it's pretty.

Aight thanks, LBF#2! :D


I listened to Mase's ode to Welcome Back Kotter! I'm not feeling that at all! Maybe I need to see the video. :confused: The production seems LOW BUDGET!

Is that one of the ladies from Total singing background?

That's cool. She's my homegirl from college. :)

I was like WTF is up with her hairline? :o

I'm feeling Brandy's song too, although I didn't want to. I don't like her most of the time, but I owned at least two Brandy CD's...so I need to hush the hate.


I'm sooooooo feelig NERD's new song Maybe. Lovin the video too.

They have a video??? Where?? What station???

Their CD is banging!!!

ME too!! Her hairline is damn near at the nape of her neck. She needs some Rogaine or Hair Club for Women or something.

It's on heavy rotation on VH1 Soul Channel. I've seen it about three time since yesterday.

How is the rest of it?

:( Not really my style. It had quite a few rock songs near the end. The only song I like was the one she sang on American Idol, but I need to listen to it a few more times, then I'll tell you what I think. For now I'm not impressed, and I will have to force myself to listen to it again.

It's luke warm to me!
 

New Elliot Ness - The My Hood song. The one that Puff said was hot on the show.

Is anyone still downloading music from the internet? If so, where?

Million dollar question. I was scared straight a while back. But, a sista's low cash flow is making her want to live a little dangerously.

Chile', there are too many songs out right now that I want. I'm not trying to buy EVERYbody's album.;)

Has anyone heard of Van Hunt?

My mom has his CD, and she states that it's pretty good.

Does anyone have Joss Stone's CD. I saw teh video to her 2nd song released from her CD and that one is pretty tight.

I have Joss. I listened to it one time. I guess I will listen to it more when I go on a road trip. It was less than $9 at Wal-Mart.

I bought it yesterday and listened to it today at work; not bad I need to listen to it more to really be able to bop my head.

I also bought Patti LaBelle's CD and it is great. THere are 3 songs that I adore: Sometimes Love, Not Right But Real, and Finally Got the Nerve.

I am going to get her CD as well, but it just hadn't been on my list right now. I will have to pick it up really soon. I mean she is Philly's own.:D
