Jordin Sparks - Battlefield

May 19th, 2009; 11:00 am (GMT+8) 0


"Battlefield" is the lead single from Jordin Sparks untitled second studio album, which is due July 14th 2009. She sang the single live on American Idol on May 13th 2009. The mid-tempo R&B track was written and produced by producer/songwriter and frontman of OneRepublic, Ryan Tedder. The song was released to US iTunes on May 12th 2009.

Hmm, this song is kinda overhyped I guess. Not as catchy as I thought it would be. Good, but not great. Hope Jason Nevins would do a remix on this song and make it sound better than the original. Enjoy!!!

Esmée Denters - Outta Here

May 11th, 2009; 7:00 pm (GMT+8) 0




Here's a new artist that is worth taking note of. Esmée Denters is a singer-songwriter first noticed on Youtube. At the age of 18, she is signed by Justin Timberlake as the first artist in his new "Tennman Records" Label. She's an opening artist to sing on Justin concert for his Europen leg of his tour in 2007.

She is working with Justin (definitely), Stargate and Ryan Tedder for her debut album, which will be out in May 22nd 2009 tentitively. She also will be touring with Enrique Iglesias and Alesha Dixon in the summer.

"Outta Here" is her first single from her debut album. It is out on Itunes April 14th 2009. My impression of her is that her music is kinda similiar to JoJo. As for the first single, it's a club banger. Would like to hear more of her new stuff soon. Looking forward. =) Enjoy!!!

*Update*
A remix to the song has surfaced!!!! Woots!!! The one and only Moto Blanco does a remix on this already hot track. It's like icing on the cake. This song is definitely my summer anthem song this year, both the original and the remix. Currently, only the radio edit of the remix is out though. Standard Moto Blanco production but it's a good mix. My predictions is that she's gonna be big, be it the song or the album too.

Speaking of the album, the track listing has surfaced and from the looks of it, it's my #1 album to look forward to this month. Tons of current hot producers are involved and she contributed in writing her own songs too. May 22nd 2009, we'll see. =)

Corinne Bailey Rae - Trouble Sleeping

May 1st, 2009; 3:48 pm (GMT+8) 1




Hmm, this track was released as her third single in late May 2006 in the UK and Ireland only. I didn't know that she released this!!!! It's my fave song from her debut album. I think it got overshadowed by her first 2 singles, "Like A Star" and "Put Your Records On".

"Trouble Sleeping" might seem like a ballad but it's actually quite easy listening, feel-good kinda song. Similar to "P.Y.R.O". Reasons for me to feature this song is that besides i couldn't sleep well for the past few nights, LOL, the vibe of this song is soothing. Labeled in the Soul and Smooth Jazz Genre, it charted quite moderately but not bad on the Billboard Jazz songs chart and a Top 10 hit in the UK airplay chart.

An underrated gem indeed, hope you guys would like it. =) Hope everyone would have a great MayDay. =)

Booty Luv - Some Kinda Rush

Apr 27th, 2009; 4:47 pm (GMT+8) 3




Continuing on the Booty Luv Trilogy, "Some Kinda Rush" is the 4th single from them. At last, it is the first original release by the girls and has song writing credits by both of the gals, Nadia and Cherise.

Even though the song peaked at number 19 on the UK singles chart, response for the song is positive by the masses and critics alike. The promotion of this song caused the album to bounce back into the UK albums chart.

Ok, if u all seen the Vid before, it's kinda cheesy. All the remixes are alright, somewhere above average. Give it all a listen. =) The Paleface remix is kinda unique catchy with it's beats though.
