Discoverd a new jam!

So while putting songs on a friends iPod I ran across a song called "Make Up" by Jazzy(Formerly of Black Buddafly). I like the German group Black Buddafly so I took a listen and to my surprise the song is PURE FIRE! Like seriously this song is my new sh*t! I did a bit of research and by the grace of God the song just so happend to be on iTunes!!!! But the "Jazzy" is not the same one from Black Buddafly Idk who this chick is but she has a EP on iTunes called "Oh Jazzy". I only purchased Make Up so I dont know if the whole thing is good. I'll probably get the rest when I get some more coins to trick off on iTunes. The song is NOT new at all its actually from 2007 but who really cares??? Check out this hotness!

Rihanna "Rated R" Review


After her 2007 release of Good Girl Gone Bad Robyn Rihanna Fenty FINALLY Released her new album Rated R last month. Here is my review.

1.Mad House- Interesting start to the album, very dark and kinda spooky! Definitely sets a tone for what is to come.3/5
2.Wait Your Turn- Rihanna goes back to her island roots on this one! The beat is hard and is a fusion of rock and hip hop but Rihanna serves it up island style on the verses with a THICK carribean accent. Im not sure if I get the song but it sounds nice 4/5
3.Hard ft. Young Jeezy- If Beyonce's song Diva had a little sister this would be it! I like the song a lot and I hate to compare the two women but this is just sounds like her version of Diva...3/5
4.Stupid In Love- This is where the album takes a more personal turn. This song is about realizing that the bad relationsip you're in will never work and finally giving up.
5.Rockstar 101 ft. Slash- I LOVE this song! Its so aggressive! This song is basically her saying "Im the sh*t b*tches!!" favorite line "6inch walker/big sh*t talker/I've never played the victim/I rather be a stalker/so baby take me in/I disobey the law/make sure you frisk me good/check my panties & my bra!"
6.Russian Roulette-This song is like crack to my ears! I dont know how many times Ive played it but I know its a lot!
7.Fire Bomb- This song was a grower but I absolutely love it! Its pop mixed with alternative/rock.4/5
8.Rude Boy-Rihanna gets naughty on this song! The only thing that comes to mind when I hear this song is sex! And for some reason the song reminds me of Beyonce...I like it! 5/5
9.Photographs-It took a while for me to like this song because i used to HATE it but this is really good song about love lost. 4/5
10.G4L- "I lick the gun when Im dont cuz I know revenge is sweet/ Im down for life, b*tch Im wit you/we got our guns in the motherf*ckin air/Gangster 4 Life!!" 3/5
11.Te Amo- The beat SCREAMS Ms. Independent but the song is hot. Its about going out to dance and girl coming onto you on the dancefloor. Rihanna is thrown off but keeps on dancing! 4/5
12.Cold Case Love- Another personal song. The lyrics are good but something makes the song seem kinda...boring...3/5
13.The Last Song-Rihanna shows a lot of vocal growth on this song! The song is repetitive tho...but I love her vocals! 4/5

This is a GREAT follow up to Good Girl Gone Bad. Out of all four of Rihanna's albums none of them sound the same. Rihanna always seems to find a way to reinvent herself each time which is what a artist SHOULD do! She definitely is not afraid to take risks! The album is very aggressive and has quite a bit of profanity which is not something youre used to hearing from Robyn but its all good with me! Another GOOD album from RiRi!! Definitely worth BUYING!!!

Amerie In Love & War Review


Amerie debuted with her first album "All I Have" in 2002. It was her 2005 hit "1 Thing" that really put her on the map. That is when Amerie revieled her true style and signature sound. Amerie is now known for her sound which consists of heavy drums and other live instruments. It's very reminiscent to the DMV area's go-go music. Amerie recently released her fourth studio album titled "In Love & War" and on this album she mixes her signature sound with old school hip hop but also adds a few nice mid tempo's and ballads in the mix. Here is my review:

1. Tell Me You Love Me- Amerie opens the album with a funky upbeat song where she tries to persuade a man the she will make him fall in love with her. 4/5
2. Heard Em All- This the second single lifted from the album. I didnt like it at first listen but once I saw the video I fell in love with the song. Now I listen to it all the time! 5/5
3. Dangerous- Another funky tune. The beat reminds me alot of Kill Bill. It sounds like something that would played during a fight scene. I dont really care for the song too much...3/5
4. Higher- One of the albums stand out tracks! I don't know what it is about this particular song but I love it! 5/5
5. Why R U- Classic Amerie song. Also the lead single. 4/5
6. Pretty Brown ft. Trey Songz- Mint Condition some= HOTNESS! Pretty Brown Eyes is on of my favorite old school jams. Amerie and Trey definitely did this song justice!
7. More Than Love ft. Fabolous- I like this song A LOT! It's a song about relationships. basically asking how can we call it love when we dont trust eacother and the only time we're good is when we make love. Kinda makes you question your own relationship....5/5
8. Swagback- This is a solid mid-tempo joint. 3/5
9.You're A Star(Interlude)-This wasn't really needed imo...She is just repeating herself...
10. Red Eye-This song is SEXY I like it! Everything about it. The beat, airy vocals,the melody. This song is PERFECTION 5/5
11. The Flowers- The albums first ballad. I enjoyed this song, its the perfect song to play for someone when you breakup with them. Basically just letting them know all the things they SHOULD HAVE been doing to keep you! 4/5
12. Different People- This is probably my favorite song on the album. Its about a relationship gone bad because the man has changed so much from the man he used to be and Amerie can no longer take it. 5/5
13. Dear John- Another Ballad Nicely put together 4/5
14. Heard Em All remix ft. Lil Wayne- Same as original only with Weezy adding some hot rhymes 5/5

Amerie is SERIOUSLY slept on! This album is a REALLY good album and if you dont already have it GO OUT AND BUY IT NOW! This is most definitely goin on my "Top albums of '09" list!

Hiatus Much!

OMG I havent blogged in sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long! No fear Im back and I will be trying to blog more often! I have a few new cd's and I will be reviewing them shortly so u can know what to buy and what to not even download! Coming up are reviews of Rihanna Chris Brown Amerie Melanie Fiona & Trey Songz. First up Amerie!

Rihanna Video premiere: "Wait Your Turn"


With the new album "Rated R" dropping in just THREE weeks Rihanna promo is in FULL force. Today she released her single Russian Roulette to online music vendor iTunes, aswell as put the album up for pre-order(this is usually done a week prior to the releases.) The Russian Roulette video is expected to premiere friday Nov 13th on 20/20. This thursday Rihanna will have her first sit down interviews with Good Morning America and 20/20!Def Jam is going all out for Ms. Robyn! Today her official website rihannanow.com premiered the video to the dual single "Wait Your Turn". Check it out:



....Idk what to say! The video is...interesting to say the least. Rihanna has clearly surpassed the "Good Girl Gone Bad" image and has gone to the next video. Im not sure if I get what she is trying to do but I kinda like it! I'll be picking up Rated R on 11.23.09 will you?

Chris Brown Unviels Graffiti Cover

The Ball has started rolling for Chris Browns return! He has two singles "I Can Transform Ya" ft. Swizz Beatz & Lil Wayne. And "Crawl". He is currently on a "Fan Appreciation" tour with special guest New Boyz. And his new album "Graffiti" is due on Dec 15th. Check Out the cover:



The cover is cool! I don't really understand the little space jam looking monters in the bottom right corner. He could've worn some less tight pants...But other than those too things the cover is dope! I LOVE the Sasha Fierce glove!

Frankie On Judge Mathis!


Poor Frankie, she just can't seem to catch a break! A "club promoter" claimed he would be able to work with her and get her club appearances. He claims she broke the contract, she claims he did. Watch the story unfold for yourself....


Two words: HOT MESS!! Im glad Frankie won! And I can't wait for the second season of the Frankie & Neffie Show!

Monica "Still Standing": The Show. The Song. The album.



So last nite the BET network premiered the first episode of a new series called "Still Standing". The show is a reality show for R&B singer Monica Arnold. Monica is a 29 year old singer from Atlanta Georgia's College Park area. She has a career that has lasted for 15 years! Throughout that time she has seen many ups & downs both professionally & personally. Monica has been hard at work on her 5th studio albu for quite some time now and things are beginning to gel together and she is in the final stages of putting the album together. The show showcases the trials and tribulations of life in the music industry and just how much work is put into putting together a album. It also sheds lite on her personal life shows her relationship with her fiance Rocko and three kids. The first episode was very interesting. I LOVED it! Monica is SO country and I absolutely adore it. If you missed it don't shed a tear! I have the FULL episode here thanks to Mr World Premiere



The show is named after a song Monica recorded a while ago(over a year) and it features Ludacris if you havent heard it before check it out:



This song NEVER gets old to me! Monica revealed lastnite via twitter(twitter.com/monicamylife) that she was in NYC for a important meeting with J Records. She later revealed that she has chosen not one but TWO singles for her new album. The singles are both produced by Polow Da Don. One is a ballad written by Ester Dean and it is titled "Here I Am". The other is a up-tempo song featuring T-Pain titled "Nothing Like". The new album will also be titled "Still Standing" And it is expected to drop in the first quarter of next year. Some sources have been saying Jan.12.2010. Im excited! Monica's debut was the first cd I ever got and that was 15 years ago! I have since purchased EVERY Monica album since then! A lot of females have come and go in the music industry but Mo is one of the few who after so long are Still Standing...

Rihanna Unveils Album Cover



Yesterday Rihanna released the cover art for forthcoming album "Rated R" which will drop in LESS than a month! Monday Nov 23 to be exact! Take a look:


When I first saw the picture I thought it was fake! But I do actaually like the cover. It is VERY dark. The covering of the eye and all the black only adds to the mystery and the dark nature. I am getting more and more excited for the new album! Im a BIG Rihanna fan so Im anticipating it very much, although I know it will be a good album because, I enjoy all of other albums! The Wait Is OVA! 11.23.09 :-)

I Can Transform Ya Video Premiere


So Yesterday Chris Brown released his video for one of his new singles. The Song is called "I Can Transform Ya" and it features Swizz Beatz & Lil Wayne. The song is pretty dope check out the video:


The video is pretty cool. Chris Brown's choreagraphy was HOT as usual!(Secretly, I wish I could dance like him!) The whole Transformers theme was cool. Im mad that one of the video girls looked like Nicki Minaj! I actually thought it was her....Tyrese's cameo at the end was very unexpected and irrelevant! Anyway, Chris Brown will release is third album "Graffiti" on Dec. 8th.

LeToya Luckett Lady Love Review



LeToya Luckett is a lady of many different sides and personalities. As a member of the group Destiny's Child she played the role "goofy" member. LeToya displays her many different sides in her music. Her debut album "LeToya" came out in 2006. The album was great, and it gave an idea of what a "H-Town chick" really was. The album consisted of many different topics from love to partying, to heartbreak. But This album only showcased the young H-Town chick. which is only one side of LeToya. Now Ms. Luckett is back with her sophmore album appropiately titled "Lady Love". The album consists of many different songs showcasing the many sides of not only a young woman but love general, it shows the good and bad and how it can affect someone. In my review I'll break down the album song by song and give my opinion on each one and the album as a whole.


1. Lady Love: The album starts of with the soft sound of a music box, but quickly switches gears to an infectious beat and LeToya singing in a sexy and sultry voice. This song is a ladies anthem. Letoya lets a man know that no other woman around can do for him all that she can. She lets him know she's a independent lady but can accomidate all of his needs. 4/5

2. She Ain't Got...: This Cory Bold produced track is definitely a stand out track. I mean, who can't relate to this??? LeToya's voice flows over the rapid beat and the lyrics are VERY sassy! She let's a cheating boyfriend know that the "hoe" that he is cheating ain't got sh*t on her! 5/5

3. Not Anymore: This Ne-Yo written song is where the album shifts to a slower pace. The song is a piano driven ballad. The song is about a broken-hearted girl who finally opens her eyes and realizes that she deserves way more that what her so called boyfriend is giving her. Although I like this song I don't feel it was a good single choice, being that is was her 1st single off of the album. 3/5

4. Lazy: I'll be honest, when I first heard this song when it leaked I thought to myself "blaaaaaaah[!]" I thought the song was boring, but I wasnt really listening to the lyrics. This song is off the hook! LeToya sits her man down and lets him know that she no longer wants to be in a relationship, because she is afraid of the heartbreak that may come. She has been so much in the past that her heart has given up on love all together and has become "lazy".

5. Good To Me: This is my favorite song on the album, When I heard this song I couldn't believe this was the same LeToya from the debut album. LeToya lists all the things she wants in a man, and lets it be known when she finds this man she will love him unconditionally. 5/5

6. Over: On this song LeToya warns her man that if he were to ever cheat on her that the relationship would be "over". Things in the relationship don't seem to be going too smoothly from the lyrics, but she warns him before he makes a big mistake and loses everything they have. 4/5

7.Regret(Ft. Ludacris) I guess the guy didn't take Toya's advice! This song is a anthem for anyone who has ever been cheated on. LeToya lets the cheating man know "I made you cool. You wasn't that dude, until I started f*****g with you!" She basically tells him that everything he had, he got from her, and that he is now nothing without her. Ludacris comes in as the "new" boyfriend and basically lets the old guy know he is gonna do all that the other man was incapable of doing. 5/5

8. I Need A U: Lady Love unleashes her sexy side on this track! She sings over a soft bass beat in a airy yet sultry tone very reminiscent of Janet Jackson. She cries that whenever she is alone in her room at nite she needs a man to keep her keep her company and do all the things that lovers do. This song showcases a side of LeToya that has not been showcased atleast not to this extent. Instead of a usual bridge LeToya speaks about how wished she had a man with her at that very moment. The song then climaxes with a electric guitar that goes into the final chorus. 5/5

9. Take Away Love(Ft. Estelle) LeToya gets help from UK singer/Rapper Estelle on a song where she tells a man that she no longer wants to be in a relationship. You can say this song is basically the same like Lazy because generally speaking it is. However if you listen closer they are completely different, This song is about a guy who just cant get a clue. She has tried over & over to let him know he is not who or where she wants to be, so her final option is to take her love away. Estelle's verse is dope! 3/5

10. After Party: This song is probably the only song on the album that I dont particularly care for. It's just not my style. Its almost like everything she says goes in one ear and out the other because I can't begin to tell you what the song is about..... 2/5

11.Drained: This is my JAM! LeToya turns the tables which is something I love when female singers do. Instead of singing about getting her own heart broken she sings about breaking her mans heart and draining him of all of his love. She later pleads for forgiveness and another chance. 4/5

12. Tears: LeToya gets sexy once again! This song is pretty dope. Its about a lady who allows her man to take complete control, but not in a bad way. It is up to the listener to choose whether it is a sexual or emotional type of control. Whatever the case may be the tears she has are tears of joy. 4/5

13.Matter: On this song Toya pleads with a man who has left her for another woman. She tells him that The woman he is now with will never be able to love him the way she does. She pleads with him to come back to her and lets him know the other woman doesn't matter to her. 5/5

14.Love Rollercoaster(Mims & LeToya): I like this song A LOT! This song is SO relatable! Mims Obviously plays the guy in the relationship and spits verses about how the the girl cant seem to keep a stable mood, and how his girl be trippin on him making mountains out of molehill. While LeToya swears that its all on him and that he has changed his ways from what they used to be, which causes her to feel like she is on a emotional rollercoaster. 5/5

15. Don't Need U: This is a great song! Its about finally realizing that you can do without your ex. After all, there IS a reason why you left them, right? On This song LeToya lets her ex know that there are no hard feelings. And she will continue to carry on with her life, rather that soak in her hearkbreak. 4/5

16. Don't Let Me Get Away(iTunes Bonus Track): This drum driven and clap assisted track is nice. LeToya sings over the beat to a guy who is beginning to drop the ball when it comes to their relationship. She reminds how he had to put in work to win her over, and warns him to not let her get away. Although the song is nice I definitely see why it didnt make the physical copy...3/5


As a whole I think this album is AMAZING! It is a total upgrade from her debut. Not to take away from "LeToya", because that album was great too. This album diplays A LOT of growth! LeToya has grown so much as a person & artist. On her debut she placed herself in a box with the whole "H-Town Chick" vibe she was using. This album is a bit more sophisticated. And shows more sides of LeToya. Although She definitely Shows The H-Town Chick is STILL there(i.e. She Ain't Got & Regret just to name a few). Another factor is the vocal growth! LeToya has most definitely stepped it up this time around vocally! She is hitting notes she would have never dared to hit on her first album. This album is worth every penny! if you are an R&B head like myself you will definitely appreciate this album. For the most part it is pretty laid back. there are a few "up beat" songs but the album mainly consists of mid-tempo's and ballads. If you havent already PLEASE go out and BUY this album it is definitely worth it. LeToya is so much more than just an ex member of Destiny's Child. And she is More than just a H-Town Chick. LeToya Nicole Luckett is Lady Love!

Keri Hilson & Friends spotted shooting new video


Wednesday night Keri Hilson was spotted in Hollywood shooting a video for her new single "Slow Dance". Keri is a established songwriter aswell as a singer so she had a couple of friends there with her to make cameo's in the video such as Polow da Don, Monica, Chris Brown, Omarion, and even Melody from The Pussycat Dolls. check out some footage of them shooting the video:




Hollywood.tv need to get their stuff together because they dont know who Kelly Rowland is, and apperantly they dont know who Keri Hilson is either! They think is a new Chris Brown video....

Kelly Rowland & Brandy spotted hanging out!


Wednesday 8/19/09 Kelly Rowland & Brandy Norwood were spotted shopping in the Los Angeles Beverly Hills area. They were seen in the MAC store where they had the entire store shut down to shop! Both ladies looked cute! The sad thing is the paparazzi didnt know that the young lady shopping with Brandy was infact Kelly Rowland from DESTINY'S CHILD!!!! I don't know whether to laugh or feel bad! In my own opinion Kelly is the bigger "celebrity" or atleast more current than Brandy but that may only be over in the UK....The paps waited for the ladies to exit the store so they can snap away and record videos. When they did all attention was given to Brandy. The only thing said to Kelly was, was she there to support Brandy!, infact on the youtube link the description says "Brandy and a friend go shopping..." Here is a photo and a video of the ladies in & exiting the MAC Boutique on Robertson Blvd.(click the link to see the video)





http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISBaTgBxhQ0

Im glad to see Kelly & Brandy are friends again! They used to hang out back in the day but the friendship ended a few years ago when Brandy told Kelly to let Mathew Knowles go as her manager, because his only interests were in his daughter Beyoncé. It seems as though the ladies have let the past go and have become friends again! Both are signed to new lables(Kelly as even let Mathew Knowles go!) and are working on new albums! Hopefully they will do a track together one day!

It Kills Me:


Give It To Me Right:


Heartless(Kanye Cover)



Give It To Me Right Video:



WOW! Melanie did her thing on these performances! She can definitely SING I like how the 1st song started off slow and then picked up a little. Her style reminds me of Solange a little bit. She mixes modern R&B with old school motown. Her Heartless cover was nice I liked the Reggae feel she gave to it, then switched it over to hip hop with a dash of rock! She is SICK! The Bridge drops 08/18/2009 Grab a copy, I think this will be a hot one! Definitely expect a FULL review of it sometime this week.

It allows you get a better feel for who Keri is and where she gets her inspiration from. Keri & I have the same fave songs from her cd! Rumor has it that Hilson's next single will be Slow Dance!! Im so excited and I hope it is true! Also it said that she is planning on re-releasing In A Perfect World... The current edition is instores NOW so if you haven't already PLEASE go and pick up a copy or two! It is definitely worth the money!!!!

Like seriously I get the same feeling I get listening to these ladies that I got listening to Destiny's Child during the Bills Bills Bills days! The latest song to leak is a song called "Uncharted Waters" take a listen:


The song is produced by B. Cox. And I LOVE it!! It is a standard Cox track but it lets the ladies voice shine. (Especially Seven!) RichGirl plans on releasing their debut album later this year.

While opening for Beyoncé on the north american leg of her "I Am..." world tour RichGirl also performed at the WNBA All-Star game in Coneticutt last month at the Mohegan Sun Arena RG performed their song 24's. Check out the performance here:


I think they did a GREAT job especially giving the fact that it was their first televised performance! Lyndriette & Seven are by far my favortites! Althought all ladies are talented and fine as hell!! RichGirl's debut album is expected to drop later in the year.

LeToya update.


LeToya Luckett has been busy lately! This past sunday she performed on 106&Park at the BET Awards red carpet Pre-Show! She performed her first single "Not Anymore" off her sophmore album "Lady Love". Check Out the performance here:


The performance was good. I didnt really like the ending all that much....

Monday she did a radio interview with LA's 102.7 KIIS FM. She talked about the album, where she likes to hang while in Los Angeles and the Beyoncé rumors check it out:


I am so glad she spoke a bit on the Bee situation. Its good to know that they are still cordial, and that there is truely no bad blood between the two!

LeToya also premiered her NEW video for "She Ain't Got..."


I love this song and the video is nice but some shots make it look cheap....Im still a BIG LeToya fan, but I have to be honest....At some points in the video it just looks very bootleg and low budget...hopefully the song does well enough to carry itself.

LeToya's album cover has been revealed!!!!


I think it is HOT! I love it! Lady Love will be instores and online August 25! 8.25.2009

A Different Me Tour

Sunday night Keyshia Cole closed out her "A Different Me" tour in Oakland at the Paramount Theater. It was a GREAT show! The only problem I had was that the tickets said the show started at 8 o'clock but the first act who just happend to be Keri Hilson went on at 7:30!!!! I was pissed because I wasn't even at my seat! I was in line trying to buy some soda! I quickly ran back upstairs pushed security out the way and ran to my seat to see Ms. Hilson! She did a good job. She went through singles, songs off the albums, songs she wrote for others, and even paid homage to the likes of SWV,TLC, & Aaliyah. Next up was The-Dream. I honestly didnt care to see him so I missed half of his set buying my drink. From what I saw He was okay....He's kind of weird tho Keri joined him on stage during "I Luv Your Girl" rocking a wife beater, denim jeans, & red heals. Lastly was Keyshia! She did awsome! She kicked off the show with her 1st song "I Changed My Mind" She continued to go through all her hits while adding the best songs off of all 3 albums. She even suprised us and brought out the Queen B Lil' Kim!!! For "Let It Go" and Too $hort, for "Didn't I Tell You". I searched all over Youtube but I can't find ANY videos from the Oakland show So Ill just upload highlights from other cities:

Keri Hilson:
Intro/Knock You Down:



Slow Dance:


Songs She wrote/likes:

How Does It Feel/Get Your Money Up:

Ms. Cole is coming home!


Today is june 21st and Keyshia Cole will be performing at the last show of her "A Differnt Me" Tour. What better place to close her tour than her hometown Oakland!!!! Keyshia will be joined by The-Dream & Keri Hilson! This is Keyshia's first headlining tour, and she has 3 albums to cover throughout the show so Im sure tonite will be interesting. Keyshia has done a few shows here in the bay, mostly in clubs or opening for another artist. So this will be the 1st time her hometown fans will really get a chance to shine on her own! I will definitely be attending the show expect a review up tomorrow! Keyshia will be performing at the Paramount Theater.

Are You Ready....To Be Entertaind?????





Tonite marks the Official launch of Beyonce's US leg for her "I Am..." World Tour. The last gig she did was in London on June 9th ot the O2 Arena. People are saying that there will probably be a few changes to the show! (I personally would LOVE it if she adds Sweet Dreams, Sattlelites, & Scared Of Lonely back!) One thing for sure is Beyoncé will be going on the road with the new R&B quartet "RichGirl" They will be the opening act for the US leg of the tour! Tonite RichGirl & Beyoncé will be performing in NYC at the WORLD FAMOUS Madison Square Garden! Beyoncé was in such a high demand in NYC that the show sold out so fast they had to add a ANOTHER show for Monday June 22! MSG is a HUGE arena with a seating compacity of 100,000!!! that's about 200,000 ppl in the NYC area alone who want to see Sasha Fierce!!!! Get em Bee!

How To Be A Lady Vol. 1 Review


L-R Binkie, Lesley, Sarah, Naomi



So This past tuesday Electrik Red released their debut album "How To Be A Lady Vol. 1". Its quite ironic that they titled their album that because, the album cover alone is everything a woman is NOT stereotypically. Once these women open their mouths and you hear they rauchy lyrics, and song topics you see just what kind "ladies" they are aiming to be. They all got their start at being video vixens and back up dancers for the hottest celebs. Binkie & Lesley hooked up to form a group and asked Sarah to be apart of it, Sarah agreed but insisted that her friend Naomi be in the group aswell. The ladies later hooked up with The-Dream and the rest is history! Enough blabbering! Here is my review:

1. Muah: ER starts things off with a mid-tempo female power type of song. It's definitely a feel good song for all the ladies across the globe. The ladies let you know "shawty Im the shit, with this shit!" The song doesnt dig too deep into concept but they definitely get their point across.
2. So Good: This song is definitely one of my faves! Serving as the main single, this song is another mid-tempo song about a girl who falls in love with a man who is involved with anoteher woman! She was fully aware of this but since the sex was "so good" she cant let him go!
3. Devotion: ER slows things down on this sexy number. This song is like a hot summer nite riding song! Just roll the windows down and and let the beat blast through your speakers!
4. Freaky Freaky: This is another "slower" song. Naomi sings over the hard beat with a airy sex kitten tone. While Binkie backs her up, and Sarah handles the pre-chorus with her smooth, sultry vocals.
5. Bed Rest: This number is sexual song. The girls sing about a past lover who they just can seem to get over, the man didnt do anything bad to them, but he always gave it up whenever it was needed. And now that he is gone, they are on bed rest awaiting his turn.
6. Friend Lover: Things pick back up with this funky song. As soon as it starts you automatically feel like your in the 80's and just want to dance. Which is a good thing because this song is a GREAT summer song and radio friendly, the topic however.....A friend lover is nothing more than a jump off! You all know, that one person(maybe more depending how nasty you are) that you can call when you need a little "lovin". They are not your companion, but a sex buddy. That's pretty much the topic of this song.
7. P Is For Power: On this song ER disses guys that are trying to get at them, but unfortunately are not on their level. In order to get one of these sexy ladies you have to have a lot money!!!! If not then "U ain't gettin no P!!!!!"
8. W.F.Y.: I remember seeing them live and being shocked at what they were saying! You know how some guys( me not being one of them!) like to brag about their skills, or run their mouths to all their friends about how freaky the person they last slept with was? Well ER basically puts them in check buy saying you were WACK and "Yall dont fuck us, nigga We Fuck You".
9. 9 to 5: The album slows down again. On this song the ladies tell their man that they want him work them in the bed room like they would a job.
10. On Point: This is my JAM!!!! This song is pretty much a Binkie solo(she is my fave one!!!) The song is so cool to me. Binkie is basically saying that guys need to stay in their own lane. Dont come at her crazy, unless your "On Point" and breaking her off with some serious cash. My fave line is "Don't try to show out, when ya lil boys come to the house. Or Ill walk around this bitch in my Louboutin heels with my ass hanging out. U gotta know what ya looking at, if u want a bitch to holla back." I dont know why but I always smile on that part.
11. Drink In My Cup: ER emerged on the music scene with this song. This was their first single, and its one of my favorites! Its a feel good song. Just about going out with your friends, all which who are looking good. And you all have a little something to drink on.
12. Go Shawty: This song is just encouraging guys to go for it when it's time to put it down.
13. Kill Bill: This particular song Im not really feeling. I listend to it once, maybe twice and didn't like it at all. Sorry ER....
14. So Good Remix: This song is the same as the original just added a verse by Lil Wayne....HOT!








All in all the album is pretty dope! They are definitely bringing on the Girl Power that the Spice Girls leff behind, only they added A LOT more spice! Its obvious that Naomi is the lead singer and Binkie is the rapper, but Lesley & Sarah definitely make their presence known throughout the album. This cd is definitely worht PURCHASING!!! its only 7.99 on iTunes, and like 9.99 in the stores.
