♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫

♫ Ciara feat. Ludacris - High Price (full) - listen
Check out the real full version of Ciara’s “High Price.” It’s something about this song: I hate it, I love it, it confuses me, I get it. I just can’t get into some of the lyrics. Did she actually say that her hair looks softer than McDonald’s hamburger buns? I love the chorus, it’s so catchy, but I just can’t seem to allow myself to love it. I’m hoping that this isn’t the first single from the album, and I’m thinking that it won’t be. We’ll see, CiCi.

♫ Lloyd feat. Plies - Year of the Lover (full) - listen
I prefer the version without Plies, but whatever. I don’t think he does much for the song. I think it’s because when I think about Plies, I don’t think “lover” - I think it has something to do with how, uhm, vulgar he is? I think that it’ll bring some more attention to the song, however, which is slated to be Lloyd’s third single from his upcoming album, Lessons In Love, due out August 5th.

♫ Ice Cube feat. The Game & WC - Get Used To It (full) - listen
Ice Cube is so much fun to me. I love him as an actor, and I just really like his delivery on most of his rap songs. I think one of my most recent favorites from him was his last single, “Church.” “Get Used To It” is the new single from his new album, Raw Footage, which, randomly is slated to hit stores August 19th.

♫ Chris Brown - Electric Guitar/Let Go (full) - listen
Here’s an unreleased song from Chris Brown’s Exclusive, produced by Bryan-Michael Cox. I think that this could have made the cut for the rerelease of the album - regardless of how much I hate rereleases. This song definitely fits in the feel of the Forever Edition, however something about it feels unfinished. The vocals on the chorus sound nothing like Chris.
