    Has she had more than her nose done? Did she get her eyes done too? She looks amazing but SO different!!!!

  2. KD August 25, 2011

    She has to be the poster child for persistence. Flop after flop yet she continues to release new material. I don’t know whether she deserves admiration or a kick to the head.

    I don’t usual post here but had too because I just love Ameriie. This album is definitely gonna be my fav album from her &I u can tell she’s touching on so many topics that is gonna give her more fans. I think she could have huge success w this album. I just hope she has at least 3 singles before the release. I wonder what other producers she worked with. Ameriie is so articulate im just glad she’s fusing electronic music. But not that corny generic dance fluff but original meaningful electronic sound. I can’t wait for the visuals. I hope she tours worldwide. I really wanna see her in Paris.

    She is amazing and this album looks great!
    She does look different, but different, hope she really goes all out with this album!
    Love Ameriie!

    I love Ameriie too and cannot wait to hear some new music from her. I’m also happy that she’s gone independent because obviously due to her low sales she would never be a priority at a big label therefore would never get the promotion budget or label “push” needed to expose her music to a wide audience. From the clips that I’ve heard the album should be another innovative listening experience and I truly hope that some of those singles catch on with the public at large.

    I’m also sad to say that I don’t think that a majority of people care about Ameriie as an artist or would support her at this point.

    Her last album In Love and War was great

    ➡ !

  9. Dave August 25, 2011

    YASSS SHE’S INDEPENDENT! That means she’ll release however much she wants to & gives her FULL CREATIVE FREEDOM! & of course her husband is her business/music partner so she gone do whatever the f**k she wants to.

  10. Robier August 25, 2011

    Wish her the best

  11. Wesley August 25, 2011

    What’s whit all the dumb ass comments here? @KD who the f*** says she releases flop after flop? the 4th album is the only one that flopped so u better think before you talk dumb s***! Also she has small groups of fans all around the world thanks to her international succes so who says no one knows her? Don’t say s*** if you don’t know wtf is going on whit her jeezz!

  12. Wesley August 25, 2011

    I’m so done w/ everyone saying she’s a flop, and that no one knows her! You ain’t know s**t! Her haters are so lame!

  13. KWEENBEY4 August 25, 2011

    Well, she’s just like Christina Milian, Mya, Teiarra Mari, nobody really cares that much but she is obviously beautiful and talented. I don’t see it for her but i normally enjoy her music. Hopefully she can score another gold album.

  14. P**** POP-THE B**** OF THAT GRAPE JUICE August 25, 2011

    B**** IS DONE! LISTEN TO SOMEONE WHO KNOW S***!!

  15. FeenixStan August 25, 2011

    I can’t wait for the album!! So happy that she’s going the indie route, that means more single releases & visuals, etc thats to come! & haters are gonna hate no matter how good Ameriie’s music is gonna be. I feel sorry for ppl who have to compare her to other artists, when her music is so different. If u listen to All I Have, which is the the best album from a female in past decade imo. You will hear a smooth r&b classic sound, Touch more aggressive gogo sound. Because I love It, a more 80’s new wave sound, & In Love & War, a more Rock, 90’s hip-hop sound. Now Cymatika is def gonna blow my world. People really really REALLY need to WAKE the f*** up and stop sleeping on her. She’s true talent & everything that some artist wish they had and thats creative control to do whatever they please with their music. I’m gonna support Ameriie with every release and I’m extremely excited for what she delivers with this offering. I hope she performs more in other country. She could do Festivals and that could get her name out there more!! I can’t wait to finally have Cymatika in my hands. Some ppl just don’t understand why I love her but I can relate to her music and personality the most. She’s a college grad & that alone makes me want to get to know her intellectually. I really can’t wait to read the booklet!!

    @KWEENBEY4

    Shut the f*** up. And let me guess u think beyonce is close reflexation of God. B**** go back to the middle school homeroom. Silly d***. Ameriie’s artistry alone is not compared to those basic artists u listed. It funny u compare her to them but not one of them have their own LABEL or do they have Korean background to fall back on. U do realize K-Pop is becoming HUGE worldwide and Ameriie is def gonna take advantage of that field. People like u don’t support music because of sales. You don’t have a mind of your own, its oh its not good because everybody else isn’t buying it so I’m not even gonna give it a listen. So don’t make assumption that Ameriie is similar to other artists if u didn’t do an accurate background research. And whats so special about beyonce’s music? Her music is identical to Ameriies and please don’t sit here and tell me otherwise. Your fav studies Ameriie, its like the dumb d*** wishes she was as smart as A. What college did Beyonce graduate from? hell what high school?

  17. i cant August 25, 2011

    How you gonna say she done? Shut up. Anyway I can’t wait to hear the Cymatica abum..dont know what to expect and i like that. If yall took the time to listen to her albums especially the Touch album and All I have album you’d hear vocal talent, harmonies, vocal layering and her other signatures. All the best with the new project and era A. Idk about this going independent thing though, even though the record companies never quite set her up right…she could have been gold plus and more popular. Idk why not..the music and performance is there

  18. mobwife August 25, 2011

    Wow, how far she has fallin! This chick was hot for a minute. She had 3 songs that I love til this day: 1 Thing, Why Don’t We Fall In Love, and Talking To Me!

    I really don’t think her new “Victor/Victoria” approach to making music is going to fly but who knows! *Kanye shrug*

  19. mobwife August 25, 2011

    You know what ppl STHU!

    I am so tired of ppl labeling folks as flops while stanning for bed warmers and backseat queens! If certain ppl weren’t “whoring” throughout the music industry, they would have never received a record deal!

  20. KWEENBEY4 August 25, 2011

    LOL @FEENIXSTAN Your rant is one for the history books! I didn’t say anything negative about Ameriie I enjoy her music and hope she could get another certified album. What does her Korean background have anything to do with it? That sounded so stupid. I guess your another self hating black person who needs another ethnicity to claim for worthiness because being Black isn’t enough? Your disgusting. Ameriie is not a K POP artist and doesn’t have that POP appeal. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. But you know who could do J pop or K pop. Rihanna! Didn’t Ameriie perform with Rihanna and alot better then her some 6 years ago. Yet Rihanna is on her 3rd World tour and now a household name. LOL I didn’t want to shade her because I do like her music but, she is by definition A flop. I understand when people say stop using flop for artist who underperform but still are profitable. Ameriie is not a profitable act. Any person with half a brain would know that. I still like Ameriie and I do use her. I just don’t see it for her at this point. She’s been out for to long. Whats this her 5th album? And you really think she’s gonna blow as a married nip/tucked woman?

  21. jugdeme August 25, 2011

    So what if she flops would you give up on your dream if that is what you LOVE doing? She has her own little label and enough money to still keep doing her thing, so why not continue?

    Anyway I love this interview

  22. Lenny August 25, 2011

    hey people, make a difference between commercial and critical flop. Amerie’s last album was very acclaimed by the critics.
    I love her very much. She has a big potential to be independent artist with big influence. Can’t wait for the new album. Good luck.

  23. Kisses August 25, 2011

    This my girl right here. Can’t wait for this album 😀

  24. nice_gurl August 26, 2011

    I love her music. I don’t understand why people buy bad music and don’t care about people with great music like Ameriie.
