Ciara‘s new single is entitled “Never, Ever” this month and it was written by Ciara herself and Elvis Williams. The producer for this track is Polow Da Don who was also the producer for Ciara’s popular single “Promise” back in 2006.

Ciara wanted to get the groove on with the music lovers so she could pave the way for her upcoming album which is entitled “Fantasy Ride”. On this song, Ciara also featured Young Jeezy.

Ciara had a single with T-Pain entitled Go-Girl and with her high hopes, unfortunately that single failed to hit the charts. The song did not catch the listener’s attention and didn’t create enough Buzz.

Never, Ever is a song that can get your groove on. Just listen to the beat and you might end up dancing and singing along. Part of the lyrics is just taken from a Classic song that everybody’s for sure familiar with. Unfortunately, this song isn’t really all that good.

They said it would go to Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis or Duffy, but it turns out that Alicia Keys is the one that gets to do the vocals in the theme song for the next James Bond film, Quantam of Solace, which features Daniel Craig as 007 for the second time. Initially the song was to be recorded by Winehouse, but her producer announced that she wasn’t quite up to the task, so the task was given to Alicia Keys.

However she is not alone in this. Rocker Jack White of the White Stripes and The Raconteurs, wrote, produced and has played drums on the track, which makes this the first duet in Bond theme song history. Nonetheless, Keys had already expressed an interest in working with the White Stripes, Meg and Jack, and had recently said to the Rolling Stone that their raw, dry sound. (more…)

It’s been a while since I last heard a Whitney Houston song, but over the weekend we were all given a chance to get a sneak preview of her upcoming album. The song entitled “Like I Never Left” features Akon, a clever move if you take into account that he was last year’s top collaborator. It may be that Whitney is trying to break back into the youth market with this move and other collaborations that will appear on her album, but is that really necessary? She has now reached 44 years of age and her fanbase has aged with her. A move such as incorporating Akon will not attract any of her old fans back, and I didn’t find the song appealing enough to attract any younger fans. (more…)

Although I personally prefer Switchboard, which I could dance to for hours on repeat, and Damn Girl, where you definitely need a partner to get up close and personal with, it was Pro Nails that got Kid Sister into this week’s top 20 RnB singles on Radio 1. Undoubtedly it has something to do with Kanye West featuring on the song and appearing in the video that put her in that position, but that is not to say that this is not a very talented woman.

This young lady is something of a conundrum. She tours with Kanye West, DJ A-Trak is her producer and boyfriend, she is signed to Downtown Records, and yet she still works at children’s clothes store. Kid Sister spits out rhymes at high speeds and combined with the wild beats popped in by her producer make you want to jump out of your seat and dance like a maniac but at the same time is a very down to earth and pleasant person, as far as I can tell from her interviews.
