Rihanna bw

 

The long anticipated “Where Have You Been” is finally here.  Rihanna has been teasing the video for a couple weeks now.  Posting cover art pics and releasing a total of three behind the scenes videos.  In one of the videos she was seen rehearsing for the video and it is also when we find out she is finally doing choreographed dance moves. She ain’t bad either.  The girl is well on her way of dominating the bizness.  She sings, acts, dances, and models.  The chick is kickin’ azz and I doubt if she bothers to take names.

Ashanti

 

The Woman You Love” is a R&B/pop song by Ashanti which features  Busta Rhymes. It was written by Ashanti and Busta Rhymes and produced by Jerry Wonda and Shama “Sak Pase” Joseph for Ashanti’s upcoming fifth studio album, “Braveheart.”

“The Woman You Love” is notable for being Ashanti’s first independent release on her own record label, Written Entertainment. Whilst discussing the move, Ashanti said, “I’m so excited to have my own record label, Written Entertainment. With eOne as my distributor, I feel that their innovative and ambitious approach to the music industry, really gives my label a worldwide presence”. Elaborating further, she also said, “they have the top radio people in the business and are hungry to win! The more I learned the business the more I knew this is what I wanted. Ownership is so important. As a business woman this was a great move for me!

MTV writer, William E. Ketchum III, wrote “the song features a pulsating backdrop, and Ashanti singing about a love interest who wasted her time, despite her trying her best to make him happy” while “[Busta Rhymes] caps off the song by admitting the man’s guilt and asking for her back, before insisting that he’s gone for good if he leaves”. Likewise, Trent Fitzgerald of PopCrush described “The Woman You Love” as featuring “a thumping beat and a grooving bass line” with lyrics “about a failed relationship with no reconciliation in sight” and a “cameo” appearance by rapper Busta Rhymes who stars “as the apologetic beau looking for a second chance with ‘Shanti.” The Prophet Blog wrote that Busta Rhymes adds “some serious street cred to the song that sounds closer to the hood than the radio” before describing the song as being “definitely targeted towards the R&B/Hip-Hop crowd” and thus “should please Ashanti stans and urban listeners alike” but also wrote, £it may be a little too edgy to crossover like the diva’s past records have.”

“The Woman You Love” received general acclaim from critics. Trent Fitzgerald of Popcrush wrote “This song is a great start for Ashanti” and expressed great interest in “what she is going to bring in 2012 now that she is an independent woman”. The Prophet Blog published that “for her first indie release, Ashanti’s taking it back to basics”, writing that the song “harks back to the hard-edged hip-hop of the 90s” and “during a time when most rappers are lining up to collaborate with David Guetta and RedOne, that’s incredibly refreshing”.

On January 28, 2012, Ashanti began shooting the video for the single. The video features actor/model Marcus Patrick to serve as her leading man in the clip. The video premiered on BET’s 106 & Park on March 13, 2012.

Ashanti performed the song live on “Good Morning America” on February 13, 2012.

Maino That Could be Us

 

Whoa, I seriously slept on this one.  I hadn’t heard about this video until today.  I loved this song the first time I heard it…….that’s a rarity.  Who knew Maino had a soft side?  I love how he’s reflecting on the success of black love.  Beyonce & Jay……. Barack & Michelle.  Cute vid indeed.  This video and that scene with Olivia on “Love and Hip Hop,” leads me to wonder, is he talking about Olivia?   Has hanging on the L&HH set has softened this dude up. Hmmmmmm

The SWV (that’s Sista With Voices for you youngins) are back after a 15 year hiatus.  Yup,  CoKo, Taj and LeLee are back and set to release their new album, I Missed Us on April 10.  It’s nice to see the girls back and still close friends. That’s rare for a girl group…….  h*ll any group. Any way the girls are back to regain their place in the female group game.

I have to admit I am extremely surprised at how well this song sounds. It sounds better that some of these veteran crooners who have been at it for years. For a guy that is no doubt on a low budget the video wasn’t bad either. If he gets the right people; someone could hook him up with a at least a one hit wonder. BTW, Brent has a nice set of lungs on him too.

I really like this video.  H*ll, it has more sustenance than a video put out by many of the big labels.  They need to take notes.  Anytime someone makes a video; then adds actual dialogue; includes a storyline that actually syncs with the song; has notable fashion finds and kills the booty dropping and scantily hoochies;  it’s a win in my book.  Not to mention a neatly inserted public service announcement.  This is a definitely a good running start to getting that deal Olivia so desperately wants.  She may actually know what she’s doing.  *no heart to heart necessary*

 

The video was brought to you by Dollaz Unlimited and Directed by Alstair “Gee Lock” Christopher…….good job guys.
