After a brief hiatus from the spotlight, following the poor performance of her ‘In Love & War’ LP, Amerie is back with new track ‘Who’s Gonna Love You?’ Lifted from the recording sessions for her as yet untitled new album, the song – which was released on Twitter moments ago – is believed to be a buzz track. Check it out after the jump…
Finally! Though the hook is a little lacking, this is the first time in a long while that an Amerie cut has possessed an instant likeability for me. A great mesh of Hip-Hop on the production tip, with soulful R&B on the vocals, vocals which themselves are laced with Pop sensibilities (catchy pre-hook/ “Eh eh eh eh”), this is a winner much in the vein of the material on her stunning ‘Because I Love It’ LP. Here’s hoping she serves up more of this goodness on the new record.
Who keeps paying for her to have albums?!?!?! I mean did she even go aluminum with her last album?
I like Amerie but this song just isn’t doing it for me. LMAO @ “did she even go aluminium with her last album?” So harsh!
she pay for her albums herself, she works from her OWN label
whilst others cant write, produce or play instruments she prefers to control her OWN creative input.
tell that to the beyonces, rihanna’a ect who pay for hits
Anyway…
im a huge amerie fan, but this is serverly lacking in ALL departments
everything from the vocals to the production
i hope this isnt representitve of the new album
Girl all of Amerie’s music sounds DATED. If this was 2000-2003, then this would have been a smash hit, but this girl needs to just re-think her entire approach because it’s not working AT ALL. Her last album sold 12k copies that was the biggest failure of 2009.
I LOVE Amerie back in the day, but honey PAHLEEZE switch your sound up.
I mean, it’s a good track. She just needs to step up a bit. Coz her music has always been SET in like a time zone. It’s her so…
I Love Amerie…2 Bad She Not As Big As The Others…In Love & War Quite Ok I Think…I Love Heard Em All & Higher…2 Bad Flop…
Amerie has fallen off….I was so disappointed with her last album that I feel like I wasted my money on! She used to be so good but I am not feeling her music as of late!
It’s sounds decent,I like it. I liked her last album aswell. It was solid. My fav album though is because I love it.
Punch I.D. & her last album “In Love & War” was great to me! It was excellent @ that. People just being their usual lame self & didn’t wanna try or hear something new, or different from her.
It wasn’t bad! I heard potential, but there’s something amateur about the production. I’m a songwriter and I can see where it went wrong, but I can see what was needed to improve this track. The vocals need to be filled in more and layered properly. It’s sounds very raw. Amerie should do something new next time and step out of this style of music. This wasn’t a bad offering, it just sounds very incomplete.
Whats up Sam its Daniel, Seye’s friend from the Alexandra Burke (interview)
Just to let u knw that indeed this is a buzz track however it is lifted from the album confirmed to be titled “Cymatica Vol. 1”
@Dave
Agreed. “Love and War” was amazing. But my favorite album of hers is “Touch”
I love this girl

It’s okay…… she’s had BETTER!!!!
Umm Heard em all was better than this, sorry…this song is so cheap and the lyrics suck…
RICH HARRISON! PLEASE CALL HIM!!!!
I like Amerie, she just needs to come alot harder. She has a cute voice just don’t have no “UMPH” behind her. Its always just mediocre. Its like she has never been the same since after her 1st album.
Hmm, haven’t I heard this song before? I love her style, but for real there is something to be said for production value, originality, and quality… all of which need to STEP THEIR GAME UP. Her voice is so amazing, put it on a worthwhile track please. DAMMMM!
Great fan-cover http://yfrog.com/0dx91p
the production is okay…….and ummm….she needs a better vocal producer or something cuz it’s not cuttin it for this track!
sloppy
and i actually like Amerie
i love this chick, and shes beautiful.
What the beat knox’s hard and her voice is so raw I love it.
I agree with Kev, it just needs a couple more editing sessions. Lyric wise, sounds like a 4th grader came up with those words. But I love her gritty R&B/Hip Hop flavor, very different from what else is out there. The beat goes hard though. Even though she tends to stick with the same style from 5 years ago, at least she isn’t selling out for the Euro-Dance-Pop craze like everyone else. She is being original. She knows what fits her and makes her comfortable and I don’t care what anybody says, she is a TRUE artist.
This song is not cheap and the lyrics are good and not bad or decent
Plus she’s working whit Rich Harrison & Missy elliot and more maybe you need to find better info instead of just thinking your own dumb thing plus Amerie songs are not the same that’s your dumb opinion but it’s not the truth Amerie always got the greatest songs and some people even have Aaliyah & Amerie together as best R&B singers so stop talking dumb s*** Haters are the most dumb people in the world i mean Why the hell would you wanna hate someone if you know how good she is loving someone is better and easier that hating someone Amerie is great just accept it PLUS…….. if your a Amerie hater than why would you listen to her video and write a very long and dumb comment about it dont you waste your time than looks like HATERS are dumb tough
I’m feelin it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i like me amerie. is fabulous
i dont like this all that much……..but her “In love & war” album was BANANAS to me, i listen to it now as if it was released yesterday!!!!
She does her thing and doesn’t try to compete with other acts. Love her
i liked it 🙂
not bad, but she could do better
A DEFFINITE HIT I F’IN LUV THAT SONG!!!
