"T-Pain - Epiphany" Full Album. 2007-09-20 12:01:00 Source - EVLuvsUHere Is An Album I Can't Quite Make My Mind Up About, So I Thought I'd Post It & See What You Guys Think?I like "T-Pain's" recording voice, through his auto-tuner, but can't make my mind up whether that is good enough to actually like the album. He is in such hot demand to write & appear on tracks by serious artists, like "Kanye West", so that must give him some points. But still when he sings with computer aids, it makes him no better than "J-Lo", a fellow 'autotune artist'.I don't even think he needs the tuner, as his live performances are really solid.Take a listen to his album & let me know what you think, Remember To Grab The Retail Version If You Like It. If you would like to write a review of this album, it will help me out at a busy time & I will happily post it & give you full credits, just drop me an email: mark@urbanreview.co.ukTallahassee Love (Intro)Church featuring Teddy VersetiTipsyShow U How featuring Teddy Pain & Teddy Pen ...

"Will.i.am - One More Chance" 2007-09-19 14:44:00 Short Of "Will's" Album Release On September The 25th, Here Is A Newly Leaked Track."One More Chance" is an up-tempo track with some fast paced, energetic beats, it feels like a "BEP" album track, I am really feeling it & hope it reflects what will be present on "Songs About Girls".Will is so talented as a producer, still I think his best work lies in producing for other artists, his solo material is solid, but he never really kills it like he does when he works with another input.

"Sean Kingston - Me Love" (Video) 2007-09-18 18:04:00 Here Is The Brand New Video From New Kid On The Block "Sean Kingston"."Me Love" will be the second single to be released from his self-titled album, I am not loving the track, although I do love the album, I think he needs to release something a bit more 'respectable'. His album is full of solid, modern 'Hip-Pop' tracks, good production & that addictive 'listen again' factor that makes for a very good debut.The video is pretty cool, more of the same really, reminds me of the "Beautiful Girls" vid a little, this obviously adds familiarity to Sean's look & feel, which will get people to associate the two tracks. I like Sean, he is something different, rather than going for the 'Gansta' look, which he could easily pull off, he is somewhat less 'offensive', which is a rare thing in urban music.Check Out The Video & Let Me Know What You Think?Sean Kingston - Me LovePresented By Urban ReviewFelling The Video's Vibe,Let Me Know? ...

"Ja Rule ft. Ashley Joi - Body" 2007-09-18 14:28:00 Although "Uh Ohhh" Hasn't Seen A Big Success, It Seems "Ja Rule" Is Already Prepping The Next Release From His New Album "The Mirror"."Body" features fellow "Murder Inc" Artist; "Ashley Joi", who adds some nice, light vocals to a track that is already pretty mellow by 'Rule's' standards. It's nothing too special, a good radio track, if it ever makes it that far.I am quite a fan of Ja, I'm not really sure why? Still, I don't think this is going to set the charts on fire, he needs something with a bit more of a wow factor. I wouldn't be surprised if The Mirror never gets released to be honest.LISTEN: "Ja Rule ft. Ashley Joi - Body"Liking "Body",Let Me Know? ...

"Mario - Crying Out For Me" (Video) 2007-09-18 13:56:00 Here Is The New Video For "Mario's" New Single "Crying Out For Me".I'm feeling the track, it's the usual "Ne-Yo" sounding, 'Pop-R&B', but he has the formula down to a fine art. Every track he makes is very addictive, great 'radio music'.The video leaves quite a lot to desire, nothing much going on there really, sexy women, fast cars, pretty standard. On a side note, does anyone else hate the face Mario pulls when he hits a note? Annoys the hell out of me lol.Check Out The Video For Yourself & Let Me Know What You Think?Mario - Crying Out For MeUploaded by Urban ReviewLiking The Track,Or The Video,Let Me Know? ...

"Ashanti - Hey Baby (After The Club)" 2007-09-18 12:44:00 It Appears That "Ashanti's" "Switch" Is Now Officially Scrapped, Here Is The Replacement Single Due To Head Her New Album; "The Declaration"."Hey Baby" reflects Ashanti's recent work with "Diddy" & "Mario Winan's", while it sounds far slicker & a better, fuller production than her past effort, I still feel it won't be enough to get her back on the ladder.I am really feeling the track, but it's just not quite 'there', she needs just a little more, maybe it will be a grower, but I don't think it is enough to give her a huge chart smash. Plus, I liked Switch!LISTEN: "Ashanti - Hey Baby (After The Club)"Feeling The Track,Or Maybe You Liked "Switch",Let Me Know? ...

"Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love" 2007-09-17 13:09:00 Here Is The Brand New Single From Former "X-Factor" Winner; "Leona Lewis"."Bleeding Love" is a 100% smash hit, it's catchy flow & hook are complimented well by some solid 'Pop' production & on-point vocals from Leona. I have been backing Ms Lewis since the start, my reputation may have gone down a lot but; This Will Be A Number #1.Leona has a pitch perfect voice, she can certainly rival "Celine Dion" (this track sounds surprisingly like her) & even "Whitney". I hope that her work with "Ne-Yo" will produce something a little more 'respectable' than this pop medley, but it is a grower & I do quite like it.

50 Cent Cancels MOBOs Performance... 2007-09-17 12:30:00 It What Seems To Be A 'Sore-Loser' Sort Of Move, Rapper "50 Cent" Has cancelled His Entire European Performance & Promotion Tour.Fiddy was due to perform at the UK's "MOBO Awards" on Wednesday night, but now he has called off his entire European appearances because of quote; "Unforeseen Circumstances".Obviously, this has nothing to do with the fact that "Kanye" beat his ass in the album charts this week.

"Will.i.am ft. Busta Rhymes - I Got It From My Mama" (Remix) 2007-09-16 13:37:00 Source - Chris-PixHere Is A Hot Remix For "Will.i.am's" Current Single "I Got It From My Mama". Just at the right time, I was getting real bored of the track, but "Bus-a-Bus" adds a real cool verse, gives the song a bit of a refresh. I hoping Will's album will be a bit more inventive than this.

"Gwen Stefani ft Damien Marley - Now That You Got It" 2007-09-16 12:55:00 Here Is The New Video For "Gwen Stafani's" Hot New Single."Now That You Got It" is business as usual for Ms Stefani, the same recipe that has brought her huge success as solo artist is continued, a very catchy hook her signature 'happy sound' are so addictive.Although she has confirmed that she will return to the studio to record another "No Doubt" album, Gwen has proven herself to be a women of multi talents, I just wish she was a little more inventive, like "Wind It Up", that was different in a cool way.Check Out The Video Below & Let Me Know What You Think?Gwen Stefani ft.

"Chris Brown - Throwed" 2007-09-15 12:09:00 Here Is A New Track That Has Leaked From "Chris Brown's" New Album; "Exclusive"."Throwed", is a solid track with a very hot hook, although it suffers from the same 'Generic' sound as all his material, it is a very enjoyable track that will surely help Chris continue his commercial success & gain him a lot of mainstream fans.I am not a massive fan of Chris, nor will I be grabbing his album, still his music is unavoidably catchy & I'm sure he will continue to pump out albums in the same style as "Rihanna" & other 'Hip-Pop' stars.

Preview: "Alicia Keys - As I Am" 2007-09-15 11:47:00 Superstar Songstress "Alicia Keys" Returns To The Music Scene With Her Third Studio Album "As I Am".After the first single from the album; "No One" received such a huge reception, the release date for the As I Am has been confirmed on 3rd of November. I am loving As I Am at the moment, I have only been hearing good things about it & the album as a whole.The record will feature confirmed contributions from; "John Mayer", "Linda Perry" & "Timbaland", & promises to be as big as her previous albums. After her show stopping performance at the "VMAs" last Sunday, it seems that the impossible has happened, Ms Keys has managed to improve her vocal ability even further.Alicia has such power & energy in her voice that is electrifying, I cannot see her ever failing musically & she will be around for a long time to come. I cannot wait to hear the album & have had it on pre-order for a long time.Check Out The Official Album Artwork Below, Plus the Confirmed Tracks (Not The O ...

Preview: "Will.i.am - Songs About Girls" 2007-09-15 11:18:00 "Song's About Girls" Is The Third Studio Album From Super Producer "Will.i.am".The artwork is a bit 'meh' if you know what I mean, Will is obviously a very creative guy & I was just expecting something a little cooler. The album promises to be good, with some hot collaborations expected from the likes of; "Slick Rick", "Busta Rhymes" & "Ludacris" to name a few.Although "I Got It From My Mama" is a little plain, I'm hoping that the album tracks will be a lot more inventive, even if they don't make it to be singles. The album is set for release on September 25th, I will definitely be grabbing a copy.

"T2 ft, Jodie - Heartbroken" 2007-09-14 18:33:00 Here Is A Top UK Tune That I Am Really Loving At The Moment, While The Track Is Based On A Dance Rhythm, It Also Has A Throwback Sound from the UK 'Garage' Scene That Was Huge At The Beginning Of The Decade.To be honest, I do not known anything about the artists involved, the track has been created by "T2" & features "Jodie Aysha" As my expertise is based in the Hip-Hop & R&B world, I no nothing of either artist, if any of you guys know about them, or any other tracks they have made, I would love to hear from you.For now, check out the track, if you like the 'Garage' sound, or the modern dance scene, you wil love this one.LISTEN: "T2 ft, Jodie - Heartbroken"(This Is A Slightly Remixed Version, Will Post Original When I Can Grab It)Know Anything Of These Guys,Please Leave A Comment. ...

"Fabolous ft. Jermaine Dupri - Baby Don't Go" (Video) 2007-09-14 14:46:00 After Featuring "Fabolous" & His Current Single, Here Is His New Video."Baby Don't Go" is a pretty hot track, I am liking the feel of it already, accompanied by record producer "Jermaine Dupri" (although it was originally meant to be T-Pain), this is a sure fire hit for the rapper. I think that "From Nothin' To Somethin'" maybe the album that finally puts him on the mainstream map.Check Out The Video & Let Me Know What You Think?Feeling The Track,Let Me Know? ...
