New Music: "Walk Away"/ "Last Heart Standing"

I have to say my favorite part of doing this blog is introducing you all to new music. Right now I am proud to introduce you all to Olivia's new single "Walk Away". You all may know Olivia formally of G-unit (I don't even know if the group still exist), she is now an independent artist looking for a deal. Those of you who may watch Love & Hip Hop on VH1 you have seen her struggle within the first two seasons with getting a new deal with a major label. Last season she had her first hit in awhile with "December", unfortunately that was not enough to get her signed, but it did catch attention of labels. You can see that take place in the current season of the show on VH1 (Mondays @9:00pm) . However, I am hoping that this new single would be the single to get her signed or get the support of a major label. I believe she is actually talented and she is one of the many who are actually talented and struggle with getting a deal. I remember in the first season of Love & Hip Hop she said something about "slitting her throat if she could not be able to sing". She didn't mean it literally, but I understood what she meant because I share mutual feelings. That's just another form to express passion, I think that's why I quit hundreds of times and cry constantly because it's something that you really want. All in all I'm rooting for Olivia to succeed, and I hope you are too. If not, I hope your mind is changed after hearing this track. 

Here is Olivia singing the song for a showcase for Universal Records 

The next new song comes from JoJo. About a few months ago I posted a new song from her entitled "The Other Chick" which is believed to be off of her upcoming album Jumping Trains. I don't know if her new song "Last Heart Standing" will be part of that album, but I do believe that it would because the concept of the song matches with the other tracks that have been out such as "The Other Chick". As well as "Disaster", which is her official first single and the video is currently out. Nonetheless JoJo continues to display wonderful vocals after all of these years, and I am sure that whenever her new album drops she'll have great numbers her first week because her voice is just amazing. Hearing new JoJo music made me go back to my favorite JoJo song, which is "Not That Kinda Girl" off of her debut album. I like an artist who can make music and take me to happy places. With that being said I'm ready for JoJo.

New Music: "Spent"

I absolutely love when I find out about new artist with amazing music. This weekend I was fortunate enough to learn about a new artist named Daley from Manchester, England. He spent his teenage years in his bedroom perfecting his craft and recording, he has been inspired by artist such as Maxwell, Prince and Jill Scott. He moved to England last year at the age of 21 where he began to build a name for himself. He was able to catch the attention of the frontman of the Gorillaz (the band that no one knows what they look like because their videos are nothing but cartoon versions of themselves) Damon Albarn. Since then he has released a mixtape named Those Who Wait. One of the songs from the mixtape is "Alone Together" featuring Marsha Ambrosius. I love the soul that he has within his voice, this just makes me even more excited for him to get even more recognition. I will most definitely keep you guys posted on Daley. 

Here is a video of Daley performing "Pretty Wings" by Maxwell

Rihanna: "Cheers"

This is the kind of lifestyle I'm working towards living one day, I pray to God that one day it does come true!

Keri Hilson's Third Album Prediction

While I was catching up on notes for school I entered a Keri Hilson mode and I began to think about what her next album would be like. This past week she visited 106 & Park and she confirmed that she would be hitting the studio soon to record her third album. She says that she has so much she needs to let out and she will be expressing it through her music, and some people might not even like her next album. That just made me even more excited for her new album to come out. She is still contemplating whether not she should do another video from her sophomore album No Boys Allowed. That's when I began screaming "Beautiful Mistake" at the television because that's my favorite song on the entire album. Looking back on both her debut and sophomore albums she has done an incredible job over all. I love her first album In A Perfect World because that of course was her introduction to the entire world. That album had nothing but good songs, and her vocals were amazing. Her second album No Boys Allowed, wasn't as good as her debut album then again  an artists best work is always there first album because that's what helps them gain their fan base. I'll admit that I didn't like all the songs on the album, but I like the attitude of the entire album. After Keri's comment regarding her third album I'm more anxious than ever, I wonder if she'll address the haters that constantly give her neck. I myself personally go on blogs and see people talking badly about her, but yet she's still featured on their blog *coughs theybf.com*. Only time will tell, I hope she lives within the studio for the next few months so the album can get here quicker. 

New Music: "Seek & Destroy"/ "Do It Like You"

The first new song comes from my current favorite singer on Roc Nation Bridget Kelly. Her new single "Seek & Destroy is off of her new EP Every Girl. She wanted to give her fans a preview of her music before she dropped her debut album sometime next year. The song was written and produced by The Dream. For the real music fans it's not really hard to tell what songs are written by The Dream, it's like it puts his official stamp on all of the music he does. The song is about letting a guy know that if you get with him he better not fuck up because then there will be consequences to pay. It's better off warning guys because not all surprises are good ones. If your interested in downloading her EP go to her website http://www.bridgetkelly.com/ to get the official downloading link. "YOU BETTA NOT FUCK THIS UP" LOLS 

The next new single comes from Diggy Simmons, who is currently on the Scream Tour. His second single "Do It Like You" ft. Jeremih. Diggy in my opinion has yet another hit on his hands and is just proving to others that he deserves his deal with Atlantic. The song is like any other typical track from a teenager, as he expresses the kind of girl that he wants. Letting her know that there is no other, because there is obviously no one that can do it like you ( referring to the girl he is speaking about in the song). 

New Music: "Make Me Proud"/ "Still Got It"

The month of November is almost here and two of Young Money's biggest rappers are gearing up to release their sophomore albums. The first new song comes from Drake off of his upcoming album Take Care, which will be released November 15th. I can honestly say there has not been one track that Drake has released and it has not been a hit. His new track "Make Me Proud" featuring Nicki Minaj is so Young Money and it just makes his new album even more highly anticipated. He and Nicki recently performed this song live on SNL (Saturday Night Live) and there seems to be even more chemistry between the two then there has ever been before. He recently said in an interview with Elle Magazine that he would actually marry Nicki. I wish these two would just officially hook up, I find them to be so cute together. 

The next new song comes from the love of my life TYGA. His sophomore album is also scheduled to be released next month on his 22nd birthday, November 19th. His new album Careless World: The Last King, already features his first single "Far Away" and also his new song "Still Got It" featuring his Young Money label mate Drake. Drake's feature on this track just makes the song even better, I cannot wait for the month of November to get here. 

Elle Varner ft. J Cole- "Only Wanna Give It To You"

I do not know her, but I already love her. I love this song, I love her style, I love this video and I love that she  is one with a unique soulful voice. I will soon return for a post on Elle Varner once I educate myself, but in the meantime make sure you guys vote her video on the countdown on 106 & Park because to me once you make it there, you basically can make it anywhere. I love that she made a comparison of wanting a new pair of shoes to wanting this one specific guy, I have felt that way several times.
