NEW MUSIC HOOPLA
New music from Mariah Carey, Trina, Ne-Yo, Lloyd, and Kelly Rowland hit the music blogs and YouTube this week.
The Dream brilliantly blends the harmonies of Mariah Carey on the remix of "Touch My Body". The remix is just as good as the original. Hopefully Mariah will add the song as a bonus track on her upcoming album, "E=MC²".
Trina's ex Lil' Wayne, Rick Ross, and Piles remixed her catchy club-friendly tune, "Single Again". The way Trina got three MALE rappers to endorse her personal anthem/mantra just goes to show she is indeed the self-proclaimed baddest b*tch.
Ne-Yo establish a distinct R&B sound on his first two solo records so it comes as a surprise that the new song ("Closer") leans towards dance. Janet Jackson's "Rock With U" (which he wrote) might have been a hint to the new sound Ne-Yo is aiming at. According to this site, "Closer" is the lead single off his third untitled album.
Listen: [Ne-Yo - "Closer"]
"Love Again" is another sultry ballad taken off Kelly Rowland's digital re-release, "Ms. Kelly: Diva Deluxe". Slow jams seems to be the ideal match for Kelly's alto vocals. (YouTube: Kelly's live performance of "Bad Habit")
