Here are the two versions of Janet Jackson’s new singles, ‘Luv’; produced by Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins and ‘Rock With U’; produced by Jermaine Dupri and Ne-Yo. Now, to my knowledge, ‘Luv’ was suppose to be next single for the US and ‘Rock With U’ was suppose to be the next single for the UK. But ‘Rock With U’ is getting some spins on the radio, too. Plus Jackson is said to be shooting a video for ‘Rock With U’ soon … no word on ‘Luv’. I don’t know what her people are doing to tell you the truth. I really like ‘Luv’ but if it were up to me I’d just make ‘2nite’ a single. That is like my workout song!

Usher ft. Young Jeezy – ‘Love In This Club (Radio Edit)’ – page linkI really love this song! Hell, I’ve loved all of the recent material I’ve heard so far from Usher, even the sonic-hit ‘Dat Girl Right There’ with Ludacris. Though I think ‘LITC’ was a more better single choice. And I guess the rumors about Usher releasing his album in 2009 are FALSE, according to MTV News, we all can expect a video to be shot soon. So hopefully we can also expect a Spring 2008 release on Usher’s new LP.


Nicole Scherzinger – ‘Happily Never After’ – page link - Irony. This is said to be Nicole Scherzinger’s 4th single from her yet-to-be-release album Her Name Is Nicole (Interscope). It seems as though Scherzinger’s people are ‘grasping at straws hits’ now, and I don’t blame them, seeing how subpar all of her previous singles have done on the charts, as opposed to Scherzinger’s moderate success with the PCD. Well, I suppose I’ll add my commentary on the song now . . . I find it kind of blah, or boring, the lyrics and production are definitely on point (courtesy of Ne-Yo) but it’s lacking something to me.


Ashlee Simpson ft. Tom Higgens – ‘Little Miss Obsessive’ – page linkThis is said to be Ashlee Simpson’s second single from the album Bittersweet Word (Geffen) set to be released mid-Spring 2008. ‘Little Miss Obsessive’ features Plain White Tees’ Tom Higgens. The single, much less with ‘Outta My Head’, has more of the mid-tempo pop rock sound Simpson is most famous for. I like ‘Outta Myy Head’, it’s catchy, but so not her sound. Though she did say it was a ‘fun’ little song that was ‘personal’. Me no likey. I want that ‘Little Miss Obsessive’ Ashlee Simpson: pop rock.


Karina Pasian – Slow Motion – page link I have seriously underestimated this young lady, named Karina Pasian, bb! I am loving all the material I’ve heard so far from her. I heard she been rolling with Def Jam for a minute which is questionable. I think Pasian has a lot of talent and charisma to offer! I hope to be hearing more from her in the future is all I’m saying . . .
