Last week saw B2K alum Omarion sign to Maybach Music, the music group owned by Rapper Rick Ross.
So, in a bid to generate steam for his upcoming release under the MC, he released a brand spanking new cut today, named ‘Body’.
Check it out below…
What to do when your musical efforts have been shunned on mass? Why, of course, you cover an R&B classic. One by Aaliyah at that.
This, unfortunately, was the rationale of former B2K star Omarion, who today released his own rendition of the late diva’s ‘One In A Million’.
Ironically, his version was just that – yet for all the wrong reasons. Listen, at your risk, below. And yes, it’s as shocking as you think…

Following the poor performance of Omarion‘s 2009 LP ‘Ollusion’ LP, the R&B singer vowed to switch things up for his next record. A promise the former B2K star seems to be sticking to, if newly surfaced cut ‘Forgot About Love’ is anything to go by.
Is the song actually any good, though? Take a listen after the jump…

New material from Omarion surfaced today. The heavily auto-tuned track, entitled ‘Sweet Hangover’, was produced by, you guessed it, T-Pain. Omarion’s ‘Ollusion’ LP hits stores on January 12th.
With the melody in the chorus and the cliche that has become the use of auto-tune, this song sounds remarkably similar to T-Pain’s ‘Buy You A Drink’. Though it is quite catchy and radio-friendly, I must admit that I am disappointed that Omarion did not provide the “fresh” sound that he promised with this album. Having listened to the entire LP, this track actually serves as one of its best songs. As an artist who is yet to establish himself as a major sales force on the charts, with the exception of ‘Ice Box’, it seems that Omarion has once again dropped the ball.
Hit or Miss?
As Omarion gears up for the release of 3rd studio album, ‘Ollusion’ (due January 12th), the record’s next official single ‘Speedin” premiered. Unsurprisingly, with Omari resting the annoying talk-singing of his last few singles on the bench, ‘Speedin” easily serves as his best single in a LONG while. The mid-tempo ballad, which was produced by 253, sees the 25 year old turn in an emotionally-charged and mature sounding vocal, which really compliment the song’s lyrics (the notion of racing to the side of the one you love). A great track and an even better single choice.
After having had a few choice words about Omari’s recent material, the former B2K star undeniably has a winner on his hands with this one. Here’s hoping it’s chart performance reflects its quality.
Hit or Miss?
After a brief hiatus from the industry, Omarion is back. Having made the transition from Columbia Records to Lil’ Wayne’s Young Money imprint over at Cash Money, O is set to release ‘I Get It In’ as the lead single from his as-yet-untitled 3rd studio album. The single, which you can listen to below, features Lil’ Wayne, as expected.
About the track, I’m on the fence with this one. While it’s refreshing to see O switch it up musically and serve up a cut with some grittiness to it, the fact he is a ‘singer’ yet is talking on autotune all the way through is quite worrying. I mean this could easily have been a Lil’ Wayne track and sounded almost identical. Speaking of ol’ Weezy, these features are becoming kinda tiresome. Hell, at this rate even I will have a track out with Weezy!
Hit or Miss?
With Chris Brown’s career currently in tatters, the male R&B market definitely seems to have an opening for a new heavyweight – (re)enter Omarion. The former B2K front-man has enjoyed limited success in his quest for solo stardom, however looks set to make another crack at the big time with his new label deal with Timbaland’s Mosely Group / Interscope imprint. While it’s unknown when exactly Omarion’s 3rd LP will drop, this new cut called ‘Comfort’ is said to be the record’s first single.
Produced by Timbaland and featuring Lil’ Wayne, ‘Comfort’, put simply, is a pretty decent mid-tempo (with a thump) which could very well prove a hit in the current marketplace – which seems to favour the repetitiveness of a chorus (“Comfort, comfort, comfort”). What’s more anything Lil’ Wayne touches these days seems to turn to gold. As to whether I like the song myself…I can’t say it moved me much.
Hit or Miss?
With their collabo album ‘Face Off’ due for a December 4th release, this new track from Bow Wow and Omarion is set to feature on the CD. Upon hearing ‘Designated Driver’, I was kinda surprised. Though it doesn’t offer anything new lyrically, the production is really on-point. I’m not sold on the concept of their joint album just yet, but this track indicates that it may be promising.
Hit or Miss?
2024 may be nearing its close, but – with his first new single of the year – Mario is still taking advantage of the time left.
Fresh from being announced as a supporting act on Queen of Hip Hop Soul Mary J. Blige‘s forthcoming ‘For My Fans‘ North American tour, the GRAMMY-nominated crooner has lifted the lid on his latest single ‘Space‘
“You got that look on your face / Like you still want to place / Come over to my place / Let you into my space,” he sings on the sizzling new track co-penned with James Fauntleroy.
Accompanying the song’s arrival with a Le3ay-directed music video, ‘Space’ comes as Mario’s first offering since 2023’s ‘Used to Me,’ ‘Main One,’ and ‘Like Her Too’ (as we reported here).
Ahead of finding out official news on all four tunes’ yet-announced parent album, look inside to get into the crooner’s latest.
Raz B steps into the new decade with ‘NDA‘…a club-ready jam launched to lead the way for his solo album ‘Full Disclosure.’
The song was released at midnight and sees the B2K performer address the peaks, perks and troughs of celebrity when it comes to short-lived flings and wild nights of passion.
Press play for your first listen…
If you thought sultry singer/songwriter Jhene Aiko “exposed the freak” on her multi-platinum ‘Pose To Be’ bop with Omarion and Chris Brown, the sexual expressions that line her new song, ‘Maniac,’ make ‘eating the groceries’ look tame.
“Hop on a dick like a maniac/Head like a brainiac/ Got to read the signs like a zodiac / I’m a low-key freak, you don’t know me, yet,” raps Aiko over the new tune.
As we’re sure reading the above has piqued your interest, tuck in below to hear more of the NSFW song:
