Amerie – In Love & War

Review by Nathan S.

Every guy – and probably every girl – who reads the following sentence is going to think I’m lying, but…I love Amerie, and not just for her good looks and impossibly long legs. No, there’s something about her spirit that I find enchanting (cue the groans). Sorry, but it’s true. From the first time I saw the video for her breakthrough single Why Don’t We Fall In Love there was just something about her style, something about the way she mixed organic soul heart with hip-hop swagger, something about the way her voice floated above the track, that completely mesmerized me. That was nearly seven years ago, but through all that time I’ve followed Amerie’s career closely, putting 1 Thing on repeat for about a week straight and waiting for her to finally cross the threshold into true R&B stardom. I’m still waiting.

After Amerie’s last album Because I Love It was largely overshadowed by label and marketing politics, the dark-haired siren is now signed to Def Jam and ready to pick up where she left off with the release of her fourth studio album In Love & War, a widely searching work whose production Amerie was intimately involved in. In other words, out of all her albums, this one should come closest to manifesting who she is as a person and an artist, which is ironic because Love & War feels like it’s holding back. Even after all this time, I’m not sure if we really know who Amerie really is, and if she ever decides to truly show us, R&B will have no choice but to recognize the strength of her work.

As evidenced by nearly every major hit she’s ever had, Amerie’s at her best when she goes big. Now not every song has to include a full swing band like 1 Thing, but they do have to be up-tempo enough to take advantage of her natural energy. It’s no surprise then that she opens the album with the huge Tell Me You Love Me, a cut that relies on a blazing horn section, jumping percussion and heavily stylized vocals to create a jam that’s sure to be the new strong-woman anthem. It’s a similar story on the lead single Why R U, except here the live band feel is replaced by DJ scratches and hip-hop samples that burst into a climactic chorus. This is exactly the kind of Amerie track I first fell in love with, and Why R U’s a more than worthy addition to her greatest hits catalog. Not all of Amerie’s more hip-hop infused work on Love & War works so well, I was more than a little disappointed to see Swag Back on the album (I just want to go one day without hearing the word “swag,” just one), and while the Weezy-assisted Heard Em All (Remix) is fun, it feels a little forced, particularly when Amerie adopts a quasi-Jamaican accent. Still, for the first seven songs Love & War doesn’t pull any punches, and when Amerie swings, she connects.

Where Love & War stumbles is when the pace slows, when the energy established by the album’s opening slowly but surely dissipates under the weight of sexy burners and formulaic ballads. The most prominent example of this momentum killing mood has to be Dear John, an unimaginatively themed track so clichéd it even quotes Jerry Maguire (“you had me at hello”). Similarly misguided are the piano-centric cut The Flowers, a track that rises but never really takes off, and Red Eye, Love & War’s hot but not hot enough baby maker. Amerie doesn’t have a powerhouse voice, it’s her delivery and personality that set her apart, and unfortunately the second half of Love & War feels weighed down by tracks that don’t allow here to really express herself. Amerie doesn’t do subtle, and when she does, the results aren’t nearly as interesting.

Now that doesn’t mean Amerie can’t do more traditional R&B. In fact, Love & War has a couple great tracks that find a perfect mid-tempo balance: the engrossing Trey Songz duet Pretty Brown Eyes and the Fabolous-assisted More Than Love (featuring a great fake fight between Loso and Amerie). But what both these tracks have in common are that they don’t attempt to restrain Amerie, letting her show the full range of her expressive abilities. If Amerie ever just completely throws caution to the wind and embraces her wilder side I feel like she’s got a classic album in her, but In Love & War is not that album. What can I say? I love Amerie’s voice, and style and…personality.

Looky! Shontelle gets "Licky"

Phil — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:27:55 +0000

Singer Shontelle (T-Shirt) plans to release her sophomore LP to be titled Under the Covers, in 2010. Till then, we are treated to her first single Licky. It’s definitely a new sound for her, but nothing new as far as pop music is concerned. It sounds alot like a Max Martin production ala If U Seek Amy, or Right Round…but surprisingly it was produced by Sean Garrett!

While the lyrics might be a little ridiculous, I still enjoy it. It’s pop, it’s infectious, and I guarantee it will get stuck in your head after a few spins! Check it out:

2009 Soul Train Awards

Eyquem — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:49:07 +0000

Beyonce stunned on them after taking three top prizes at the ceremony : Best Female R&B/ Soul artist,Song of the Year : Single Ladies, I Am… Sasha Fierce : Album of the Year.

Neither of them desserving the price, i was bewildered by the fact that she lost out on the “ Prestigious Record of the Year “ tittle that went to Jamie Foxx for T-pain autotune collaboration” Blame it”.Is that a joke ? I mean are they really serious ?Then they wonder why the music industry nowadays lacks soul on the top of being a corporate piece of trash.

Meanwhile Keri Hilson was a double winner walking away with the Best New Artist award and Best collaboration for Knock You Down, her hit with Kanye West and Ne-yo.

Soul star Maxwell, who was nominated in four categories, only managed to win one, for Best Male R&B/Soul Artist, beating competition from the likes of Robin Thicke and Raphael Saadiq.

Angie Stone, Erykah Badu and Fantasia collaborated with rap pioneer Melle Mel to honour Khan, singing her hits Through the Fire and Tell Me Something Good.  They weren’t the only singers to bring the audience to their feet – Chico DeBarge, Boyz II Men, Johnny Gill and Estelle hit the stage with actress presenter Taraji P. Henson to belt out a medley of Motown hits to mark the label’s 50th anniversary.

 The awards show, co-hosted by actor Terrence Howard, will air on U.S. TV on 29November (09).
