♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫ from Concreteloop.com

♫ The Dream - Sweat It Out (full) - LISTEN
I think that The Dream is absolutely hilarious. I mean, not in a bad way, it’s just that sometimes the way he approaches a song, or a concept, really makes me laugh. The title is pretty straight forward with “Sweat It Out.” The Dream boasts about how he will sweat his lover’s hair out while making love. He even tells the girl to call her beautician in the song. The Dream’s new album, Love vs. Money is set to hit shelves and online March 10th.

♫ Trey Songz - Brand New (full) - LISTEN
This new cut, “Brand New” is supposedly the “street single” for his new album that he’s been working on in Atlanta for quite some time. I usually like Trey, but there’s something very R. Kelly-ish about his vocal and delivery on this song, especially on the verses. I can see his fans getting into this song, and it will probably hit hard and heavy in the clubs. I’m looking for something great from Songz this time around, considering that his last two albums got lots of spins from me.

♫ Jennifer Lopez - Hooked On You (full) - LISTEN
Check out the new single from Jennifer Lopez’s greatest hits album, which is due out sometime this spring. “Hooked On You” is produced by none other than Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins and is slightly reminiscent of some of the tracks on her last album,Brave, which was a critical flop. I do like this new track, though. Jennifer Lopez has always been great for giving us a good dance track. The greatest hits album is supposed to contain 5 new track.

♫ Melanie Fiona - It Kills Me (full) - LISTEN
We recently did a HOT OR NOT feature on this young lady, for her first single, “Give It To Me Right.” It seems as though more material is leaking from the young lady. Honestly, I like “It Kills Me” more than I dug the first single. This song really reminds me of some ’90’s stuff, vocally. Even though there’s too different about her voice, she’s got a powerful sound. Her debut album, The Bridge is still set to drop sometime this spring. No official word on the release date.
