Rihanna – Cry
‘Cry’ is featured as a bonus track on the Japanese version of Rihanna’s upcoming album ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’. Though the song wouldn’t be out of place on the album’s main tracklist, it’s understandable why it was left off. The ballad is ‘ok’ at best and, though lyrically engaging, the song is pretty bland. I’ve definitely heard better ballads from the Bajan singer before.

Mutya Buena – B Boy Baby (ft. Amy Winehouse)
Some of you – especially our European visitors – may remember Mutya from her time in one of the UK’s biggest girl groups, the Sugababes. Since leaving the group in 2005, Mutya has recently re-emerged with a new album ‘Real Girl’ (due June 4th) and her current single of the same name is enjoying major success on the charts (currently sitting at #11 on downloads alone). This new track, ‘B Boy Baby’, is a collaboration with rapidly rising star Amy Winehouse and is featured on Mutya’s album. I’m liking this laid-back mid-tempo track; it has a cool throwback vibe to it. If you liked Amy’s international hit ‘Rehab’, then you’ll probably enjoy this one too.

R. Kelly – Good Sex (ft. Twista)
The Runners produced ‘Good Sex’ sees R. Kelly and Twista hook up again for another collaboration. Their last collabo ‘So Sexy’ was a great track, however ‘Good Sex’ kinda falls short of the benchmark set by their last outing. The song, a bonus track on R. Kelly’s latest album ‘Double Up’ (released this week), is just too standard – from the production to the tired subject matter. Thankfully the actual ‘Double Up’ album is solid and I suppose the song serves it’s purpose as a bonus track to bulk up the tracklisting.

Kelly Rowland – Love (Snippet)
As the release of Kelly Rowland’s 2nd solo album ‘Ms Kelly’ draws nearer (due July 3rd), more songs from the set have started to surface. This lengthy clip of ‘Love’, a track from the CD, further suggests that Kelly really brought ‘it’ on the album. Aside from the great production, the attention grabbing lyrics enhance the song’s appeal. The track, co-written by Beyonce’s sister Solange (a few eyes rolled there, I’m sure..lol) sees Kelly taking a different approach to the overdone subject of love.

What do you think of the New Songs?
![New Songs: Giveon - 'O Christmas Tree' & 'The First Noel' [Wide Releases]](https://thatgrapejuice.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/giveon-thatgrapejuice-2023-first-noel-christmas-tree-apple-music-464x260.jpg "New Songs: Giveon - 'O Christmas Tree' & 'The First Noel' [Wide Releases].")
R. Kelly’s song is the same ol’ same ol’, not a banger. Kelly Rowland’s song was pretty good, tad bit different from her usual sound and i likes.

KELLY TRY AGAIN
I really like Rihanna’s song and R. Kelly’s song. Rihanna should have put “Cry” on her offical tracklist instead on “Hate That I Love You”.
