Is This a Story About Control, SOHH Soulful Top 5
Sunday. 10.15.06 4:40 pm
Snippets of music from Amerie have been floating around the internet for a while now. Back in May at the Sprite Fashion Showcase she whipped out her ipod on the red carpet and let journalists listen to some of the new things she’d be working on.
I for one am very interested in what Amerie has to say. I didn’t always appreciate what “A” was all about until after her Vibe cover story when I heard that she opted not to work exclusively with Rich Harrison for her upcoming project. The reasons for this separation of church and state are unclear. I speculate that is has something to do with her ‘management’ but also with the fact that she is just as responsible for creating Rich’s sound as he was.
Very similarly to Brandy with Rodney Jerkins, Amerie might have felt that much of her success was attributed to Harrison and then spread thin all throughout the industry as he began producing for other artists including her very own label mate Beyonce Knowles.
(sidebar: I spoke to Rodney Jerkins and he told me, with disappointment, that he more than likely will not be on Brandy's upcoming project. He said that he wants to do a album; that he wants to do it for her fans, said it would be Full Moon continued but with growth, but said Brandy wasn't having it. No beef between the two though.)
Well, a new Amerie single is making its rounds and is believed to be a collaboration with Cee-lo of Gnarls Barkley. I have no official word on what the exact situation is, but hopefully Lenny will be hitting us up real soon. Listen to it here.
(I didn't upload this, I am just pointing out where you can ALLEGEDLY listen to it)
But while you were wondering why there are no famous black celebrities adopting Third World orphans we were paying it all nooch and compiling our

What's poppin, people?
I never been that big on Amerie. On each effort, I like one song to death and hate everything else, so sorry, I cant get excited where she's concerned.
Brandy and Rodney had a good sound. But people tend to box you in when you do too much of the same thing so I cant be mad if she wants to go another route. She's been around for a long time so its about time she tries something different. And as you stated, its not personal and there is no beef, so its all to the good.
My Top 5 as of 10:13am...
Icebox - Omarion
Shortie Like Mine - Chris Brown & Bow Wow
All Over Again - JT
If I Was Your Woman - Gladys Knight
Find Myself in You - I have no idea who sings that shit but its smooth as all fuck.
These might change in about an hour but hey, change is good.

Soulman, ladies....what's good?
Layla, yes I like the DK cd too.
Soulman, I can't listen to the new stuff you have posted (at work) but I do hope that Amerie does well on her next venture, I actually have both of her previous cd's and I love her music.
Ok, ya'll....I'm out till way after lunch! (one our bestest employees is leaving so we are giving her big luncheon) lol
Peace! Be good children....:)
