New Music Reviews ♪

Solange - "White Picket Dreams"
New music from Solange has leaked. The song is called "White Picket Dreams", and I actually like the song. The melody is nice; I'm not exactly sure what the lyrics or the title means but the song has a nice mellow vibe to it. Look out for Solange's sophomore album, Sol-AngeL & The Hadley Street Dreams when it drops August 26! (Stream/Download)

Ne-Yo - "Take A Bow" (Response)
Ne-Yo's version of "Take A Bow", originally sung by Rihanna, has hit the net. Ne-Yo actually originally wrote the song for Rihanna, and is also known for writing Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable". I would appreciate this song more if it was a "flip". All he did to the song was record it explaining his point of the story. I expect more from Ne-Yo. He should have sung about a new topic and changed the melody a little bit. Its pretty much the same song but from a different view of the situation. (Stream/Download)

Michelle Williams - "Lucky Girl"
Yet another song has leaked off of Michelle Williams's rumored pushed back album Unexpected, which is now set to drop in October due to lack of promotion. The song is called "Lucky Girl". I like the song. In the beginning the beat and melody is simple and relaxing. As the song continues to play, the beat flips and it turns into a uptempo song. The song is basically about her finding the love of her life and how she is 'lucky'. Michelle did her thing on this song & her vocals are on point. Make sure you check the song out!

I'm not feeling Solange's song a lot but it's okay. Ne-yo's response is okay but I'm getting tired of Take A bow. Michelle's song is okay.

I like Ne-Yo's Take A Bow cover. Some parts could be better, but overall it was a good try.
