• Pitbull “Give Me Everything” Video Premieres + “Pause” Leak

  05.09.11 | No Comments

  

  It seems as though Pitbull’s dance formula, for the clubs, is still going strong from his Rebelution album. Pit’s latest, “Give Me Everything,” featuring Ne-Yo, Nayer and Afrojack is climbing the Billboard Hot 100. Not to mention the clubs are giving the feel-good jam lots of spins. The video premiered earlier this morning. The video follows the concept of some recent video; contemporary night clubbers in an old glamourous building. Take a look below.

  Also, check out a leak from Planet Pit, Mr. 305′s upcoming album, due out in June. I can a lot of people “gettin’ off” to this one.

• “Everything’s Alright” With Ne-Yo

  09.03.10 | 1 Comment

  

  The anticipation for Ne-Yo’s forthcoming studio album, Libra Scale, is pretty much non-existent and that’s possibly due to the bland and boring material that has leaked thus far. A new leak surfaced earlier and whilst it’s still nothing magnificent it surely sounds good.

  The Stargate-produced “Everything’s Alright” has a really nice string melody and relies on repetition to make it way too easy for the listener to catch-on and sing those “OH-OH-OH-OHHHHHHHHH’s.” Ne-Yo really is hit-and-miss with this album, mostly miss but this song is doing it for us right now.

  In other Ne-Yo news, he spoke about recently going into the studio with Beyoncé for the her fourth studio album:

  “It’s coming along nicely. I can’t speak too much on it, but it’s another direction for her, and she’s carving out her own niche. In a minute nobody will be in Beyonce’s lane. They really can’t get in her lane now, but they really can’t get in her lane after this album.”

  Ne-Yo is partially responsible for Beyoncé’s #1 hit, “Irreplaceable,” so maybe they’ll work the magic again. As for Beyoncé being in her own lane, just READ HERE.

• Ne-Yo Returns With Crappy Electropop Single, “Beautiful Monster”

  05.24.10 | 46 Comments

  

  Okay, so this is just the snippet but that’s all we need to hear to know that Ne-Yo couldn’t have come with a more generic, overly-radio friendly, uninspired song for a first single. “Beautiful Monster” is from Ne-Yo’s forthcoming studio album entitled Libra Scale.

  We do not have too many words and probably won’t even update the post when the full version drops. Ne-Yo receives a lot of our respect because he is truly hard working entertainer but c’mon, this song is simply, dated.

• New Ne-Yo Album This September + New Leak

  05.16.10 | 5 Comments

  

  Right after the release of Year Of the Gentleman there were literally close to a hundred leaks or more from Ne-Yo; it was virtual overexposure at its best. Well it’s been awhile since all those leaks so now we’re ready for some new Ne-Yo.

  Proph reported that Ne-Yo’s forthcoming album will be “different” from the rest and will be released this September, the same month’s as Kanye West’s Good Ass Job. Along with that a new Polow Da Don produced track has leaked from Ne-Yo. Now, there is “Kelly Rowland” tagged throughout meaning it may be just be a demo for her upcoming album which also has a September release date. If it is a demo it would be no surprise as Ne-Yo is presently doing other work for Rihanna’s fifth studio album.

  We’re so upset with Polow Da Don because dude produced three very generic songs for Christina Aguilera’s album, all of them have expiry dates. BUT as generic as this Ne-Yo song sounds it is actually the type of Polow that is addictive. It is most likely just a demo Ne-Yo recorded for someone, there is nothing “different” about this but it’s still good at the same time.

• Leona… “Can’t Fight It”

  02.26.10 | 1 Comment

  

  Without disrespecting Leona Lewis, it is safe to say she suffered a sophomore slump. When she debuted with Spirit she had us mesmerized. So much that we were greatly anticipating Echo. Then “Happy” was released and that’s when the decline of our interest began. During the months leading up to Echo, a Ne-Yo demo entitled “Can’t Fight It” which was produced by Stargate leaked and was part of the reason we were pumped for the second…

  Today, the final version sang by Lewis leaked and the interest has slightly recovered. The synth drenched – disco fused track actually complements Leona’s voice and doesn’t sound as odd as some of the other Dance tracks on her album. Take a listen for yourself.

• Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Party 2010: Ne-Yo & Jessica White

  There was once a time when I had a crush on Jessica White. But the fantasy crush sort of fades when the lady is with a new man more than a few times in less than one year. She is incredibly gorgeous though.

• VIDEO PREMIERES: Mariah Carey’s “Up Out My Face” & “Angels Cry”

  01.27.10 | No Comments

  Carey and Minaj go red, pink and white with a Valentine’s Day vibe for “Up Out My Face.” Things are taken to a melodramatic halt for “Angels Cry” with Ne-Yo: full of rain and cheesy love.

  We love that they included the interlude in the “Up Out My Face” video; we like the interlude better than the song. “Angels Cry” was pretty good; the video matched the overflow of lovey-dovey. Both videos look to be on that recession budget.

• Keri Hilson Is Ready To Fall For Ne-Yo

  01.13.10 | No Comments

  

  Mega beauty, Keri Kilson, covers JET magazine and has a new leak. The song is entitled “Ready to Fall” and features Ne-Yo with production from Polow Da Don.

  The tempo of the song is very slow and has an overall mellow flow to it. Ne-Yo’s “Oh’s” and “Wo’s” set the song off right. We have no idea where the song is from or what its future use will be; it will be a better album track than a single.

• Mariah & Ne-Yo Make Angels Cry

  01.07.10 | No Comments

  

  …and first up from Mariah Carey’s Angel’s Advocate remix album is the collaboration of her piano driven ballad, “Angel’s Cry” with Ne-Yo.

  We like the original just as is so we weren’t looking out for this song too much. Ne-Yo complements the song well but it would be just the same if he was not featured on it. Despite us siding with the original, Ne-Yo adds an ingredient to the song that should help it along on radios.

• A Sneak Peek at Mariah Carey’s “Up Out My Face” and “Angels Cry” Remix Videos

  12.22.09 | No Comments

  

  So if you have not read, Mariah Carey is releasing two spin off albums from Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. Both are remix albums; the first will be an R&B remix album that will feature collaborations with many of today’s hottest urban artists and the second will be a dance album entirely remixed by the Jump Smokers. Both albums are expected for a February 2010 release fate.

  Also, Mariah Carey’s fan hubby, Nick Cannon, posted screencaps and in-studio pics from the remix videos of “Up Out My Face” feat. Nicki Minaj and “Angels Cry” feat. Ne-Yo. All that pink, red and white in the U.O.M.F. video looks like it should be released on Valentine’s Day; like a break up song. As for “Angels Cry,” it looks very similar to one of Carey’s earlier videos, “One Sweet Day.”

  At first, the remix project felt like another rushed alternative to making a “real” good album but from the songs we’ve heard and the momentum Def Jam is going with them, things look sunny after all.

  Also, Nick Cannon’s R&B trio, RydazNrtist, has released there new mixtape entitled Sunday Music. These guys are true R&B; well very reminiscent from the late 90′s, early 00′s. Get a taste of them below and download the full mixtape HERE. View remix videos’ images…
