Watch.Out



Amerie is back on the scene with her latest album "In Love and War" set for release November 3 through Columbia Records. She was never one of my favorite artists, but her sound for this new album has been really appealing and different, and I just might be a little excited for it.

The promo single "Why R U" was a perfect throwback song, with a stylistically on point video, but since she isn't one of R&B's 'chosen' ones, the song hit a dead end on radio. The official single "Heard Em' All" isn't exactly my style, but it's definitely catchy and proves that she deserves a slot at the top of the charts. My favorite leak from this era is her remake of the Mint Condition classic "Pretty Brown Eyes" featuring Trey Songz. It's smooth and their voices harmonize nicely together. Plus anything Mint Condition is a plus in my book. It's not the best remake by any means, but she does a very adequate and fun job on her version.
