♫ 50 Cent - 50 For President (full) - listen
Sorry for being late with this! We’ve been going through this server
change, and I’ve been out of town, but I’m back on schedule. Anyway, I
knew 50 was up to no good when I saw those videos of him mocking Kanye
West’s “Love Lockdown” again, so it looks like they’re gonna have
another showdown. Didn’t 50 learn anything the last time around? “50
For President” isn’t really anything spectacular. In all honesty, it
sounds like something else he’s done before, but I’m sure this isn’t
the material 50’s got up his sleeve for this “comeback.” Wasn’t he
retiring?
♫ John Legend feat. Estelle - No Other Love (full) - listen
Although not my favorite to leak from the material from John’s new album, Evolver,
I’m still digging the Estelle-assisted “No Other Love.” I like that
John is really trying something different and stepping out of his box,
because in this day and age, you don’t want to be pigeon-holed into
being one type of artist. I think John recognized that and showed that
he can do more than just sit behind a piano and sing, ’cause that’s
definitely his comfort zone. Evolver drops on October 28th.
♫ Johnta Austin - Come Talk to Me (full) - listen
I’m not sure whether or not Johnta Austin is still recording music and
attempting to become an artist, but here’s some new material from his
debut album, Ocean Drive,
which was supposed to come out some time ago. Are these songs new that
he’s been recording? Or are these just songs from the session that
we’ve never heard? In any event, this doesn’t really sound like
Johnta’s best to me, nor Darkchild’s either (supposedly, that’s who the
song is produced by). I don’t know, I think Johnta may be one of those
writers who is better served behind the scenes.
♫ Cherish - Bump Like Some Speakers (full) - listen
Check out this new or unreleased Cherish. I’m not sure if the girls are working on their third LP, because this really sounds like something was was left off from the sessions from their last album, The Truth,
which isn’t very relevant right now. I really thought the girls would
have been able to get a little shine on with their single, “Amnesia,”
but it didn’t really work out for them. In any event, no matter what
these girls are singing about, they sound good. They hold great harmonies.
