Toni Braxton Melts Our Ears With New Music

I was just thinking about Ne-Yo. Is Ne-Yo the new Babyface and the new Michael Jackson? Surely both stars are irreplaceable but the media is always looking for the next big thing. Anyway I relate Ne-Yo to Babyface surely because of his songwriting and his ability to write for virtually any artist. He is also a solo artist who is successful in his own right even rivaling some of his own written compositions for others. As far as the Michael Jackson comparisons go, Ne-Yo clearly isn't the only male artist influenced by Mike. When you hear a lot of Ne-Yo's songs though they recall you of early Michael Jackson. Seeing Ne-Yo perform also recalls Michael Jackson. Of course his dancing isn't as elaborate as say someone like Usher or even Mike, but the influence is clearly there.

Audio: Toni Braxton - Melt
This is a new track from Toni Braxton. I'm assuming the track is produced by Rodney Jerkins.

Toni was recently featured on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" where she was eventually eliminated. It was reported that Braxton had signed to Atlantic Records and that her first single would be produced by Rodney Jerkins. The track does sound like a Rodney Jerkins production so you never know.

Audio: R. Kelly - Sex Olympics
Here is a new track from the freak master R Kelly. Check it out!

As always most of Kelly's tracks are about sex and not many artists can sing about sex quite as compelling and convincingly as R. Kelly.

50 Cent Steals Eminem Track!

50 Cent has stolen a track from his mentor Eminem for his upcoming album “Before I Self Destruct”. The rapper revealed he snooped through Em’s computer and listened to some unreleased songs produced by Dr. Dre.“I did a song produced by Dr. Dre. I got the production from Detroit, because Dre was working with Em right before I got out there,” says 50 Cent. “I just missed him. I went through Em’s computer and found what I needed. Yes, I did.” After he got the beat, 50 Cent went on and recorded the track.
