Posted August 5, 200915 yr So after 'Why R U' (rightfully) bombed they're releasing this Sean Garrett-produced banger as Amerie's next single: GQSOJEHG8D0&fmt=18 Amazing. Her biggest shot at a US hit since 1 Thing probably, and I love that they've found a home for her horns in there.
August 6, 200915 yr It's alright, good track but I don't find it very catchy and the chorus seems to lack something. Better than Why R U though...
August 6, 200915 yr I thought it was going to be amazing after the amazing first verse (and the verses in general), but it practically feels like there's no chorus? I actually prefer Why R U strangely. Though I was just about the only one who liked that song. The beat is hot though. Just wish there was more oomph to the chorus.
August 6, 200915 yr It reminds me of a cheap version of "Turnin' Me On". I do like it though, it's just missing that extra something to make it great.
August 6, 200915 yr Author Turnin' Me On is a great song but production-wise this is far better :heehee: Crisp as fuckery!
August 9, 200915 yr Oh, i dont know. It's ok, quite good actually, an improvement on Why R U, but still nothing on the likes of 1 Thing, Take Control and Gotta Work.
August 9, 200915 yr Again, it's nothing that special. It won't be a hit in a million years, she can do better. :(
August 13, 200915 yr I really loved the track "Blow" from the Because I Love It mixtape, it didn't actually end up making it onto the album but it was a bloody good track. I definitely think it could have been a single, really fiery, passionate, she sang with conviction and rather catchy too. ^_^
August 13, 200915 yr Author 'Blow' is her best song! Fucking brilliant. Meaningful lyrics and the hottest beat and delivery. 'Weekend Love' from the mixtape is great too.
August 15, 200915 yr This and Why R U are ace songs IMO. Adore them both, suprised at the "oomph lacking" labels they're getting :o but they aren't the most instant of songs I'd guess. The music video gets shot next week and with her scheduled to perform at the VMAs and VH1 Hip Hop Honours next month this could become a suprise hit. She seems to be focusing on the US a lot more with this era too, confirmed 3rd single "Pretty Brown Eyes" which features the one and only American R&B sweetheart Trey Songz sort-of substantiates this. Not his biggest fan but his latest track "I Need A Girl" is actually quite epic so PBE could be quite great and most probably the album launcher as well

August 16, 200915 yr Author It didn't make it because Amerie or her label didn't own the rights to the backing track she was freestyling over.
August 17, 200915 yr Author Here is the quite immense single cover: http://i27.tinypic.com/jayxq1.jpg I can't help but laugh looking at it. It's so OTT! Amazing though.
