i purchased this album off amazon as i couldn’t through her website. amerie is one of the best artist of the decade. for all those who doubt this please listen to her albums ‘because i love it’, ‘touch’ and ‘all i have’. if these 3 albums were in the rock genre, they would be comparable to the beatles and rolling stones.

Amerie should’ve promoted herself. It’s should be 70% self promotion and leave the rest to the label for commercials, tv show appearances and performances (which I’ve seen). she lacks initiative and if she’s blessed with the chance to release another album, hopefully she care enough to take charge and do what she has to do.

“Amerie’s ‘In Love And War’ Set To Bomb”, talk about putting it mildly Sam. There’s nothing worst that being a stifled artist. You write and sing the songs, but you have to rely on a group of dusty-old-guys to determine whether your music can be released or not. The music industry does not appreciate nor does it reward artistry, and the sooner that power can be taken from music execs, the sooner when can begin to appreciate good music!!!

I agree with TJ – Amerie’s album is off the chain. With each of Amerie’s albums (even the one that was not released), she has expanded her sound, and tried new things. She understands that as an artist, she has to be willingly to try new things, and not be controlled by the industry, other artists and producers, or record sales. I really like her album, the sound, the grit, and her ability to stick to the albums theme. Amerie’s album, like Letoya Luckett’s album, are definitely some the best albums offered this year – and its a shame that this albums are not getting the shine they deserve.

And Lastly, adding to Sam’s point (which I partially agree with), responsibility does lie with the label and with Amerie, but it also lies with the fans. The financial climate throughout the world might be to blame, or the leaking of music on the internet, but fans do not support artists like they used to. Everyone is so quick to download a song or album, or listen to it on youtube, rather than going to the store and purchasing the album. Yeah, the artist should create music that deserves to be purchased, but fans also have to be willing to buy albums. Maybe the music industry should stop releasing music, like in the old days, and maybe fans will begin to buy it…but that alone might impact many websites, which will give them an opportunity to see what happens when fans are encouraged to stop suporting you…. START SUPPORTING ARTISTS AGAIN!!!
