Chris Brown feat. Bow Wow & Pleasure P. – Can’t Let U Go (full) – listen
Chris offers up a bit of a sad-sap song intro on this new track, “Can’t Let U Go,” featuring Bow Wow and Pleasure P. No word on production credits, but there’s a lot of autotune used on Chris’s voice, even though he doesn’t really need it. Chris can actually sing. Autotune is to fix pitches, but it seems as though folks are abusing it and just using it as an effect. The song is alright, but word is, the material for his new album, Graffiti, which is supposed to hit at the top of next year, is much better. Bow Wow and Pleasure P.’s cameos aren’t much to talk about.

Donnie Klang – Stuck In My Head (full) – listen
Bad Boy signee and Making the Band 4 winner Donnie Klang has been given a second chance after the critical and fan flop from last year, Just A Rolling Stone. It seems as though “Stuck In My Head,” produced by Ansane, is the first official single from his upcoming sophomore release, which I haven’t heard any news about, considering that Diddy has been promoting his Last Train to Paris album, along with his reality show, Making His Band. The song is less Justin Timberlake than the last album.

Jordin Sparks – Landmines (full) – listen
Check out a bonus track from Jordin Sparks’s album, Battlefield. She just got off tour with the Jonas Brothers and is about to get back on the road, opening up for Britney Spears, with Kristiana DeBarge as a pre-act. This ballad showcases Jordin’s voice wonderfully. I actually think this would have fit in perfectly with the rest of the tracklisting for Battlefield, title and all. “Landmines” is a great jam.

Rock City – Let Me Kiss Ya (full) – listen
The brothers and writing team known as Rock City are constantly putting out heat for themselves and writing hits for others. The latest to drop from the boys is the Jugganauts-produced “Let Me Kiss Ya.” Even though it’s not the best of their material, it is definitely a dope/fun track. No word on when the duo’s album is dropping, but we need another single from them in a hurry!
