"Young Homie" is done, and it looks like this is the follow-up; it goes for adds June 26 according to FMQB.

Sounds like something Bruno Mars would do, but it's better than "Young Homie".

Yeah! I also thought it was more poppy than "YOUNG HOMIE". It's funny, you mentioned Bruno Mars because I've seen lots of new fans tweet that he's a mixture of Bruno Mars and Mike Posner lol!.
Here's a longer version of the song he performed at B104 NIGHT at MAYFAIR last week;

Does anyone know what the total sales were for "Young Homie"? No idea but I know it hasn't fallen out of the top 200 since its release and hovered around the 120's on itunes mostly. It did enter the top 100 up to #72 a couple of weeks back when Ryan Seacrest played it on his show. Maybe the numbers gurus can give us an idea of how much it could have sold by now? I can't wait for this new song though. It sounded really good on radio when KDWB 101.3 played it. |

40 second snippet of "TROUBLE" rope.zfmq.fimc.net/afamusic/ChrisRene_Trouble56.m3uLove the reggae vibe. Great find EPIC! And thank you for not changing who Chris is as an artist. Most of his pre-X Factor songs have the reggae vibe going on and I'm sure that's why him and LA Reid chose the Bob Marley song during rock week lol! |

This sounds like Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours".

I like this based on the live performances posted above. I also agree with the Bruno Mars and Jason Mraz comparisons. :) With the right promotional push, this could be a Summer hit.

If you liked the live performances, you'll go crazy when you hear the studio version, trust me! His swagga on the song is so damn crazy! Here's his new performance at a radio station yesterday! |

This sounds like Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours". Yeah it's like they took "I'm Yours" and threw a beat over it. |

Don't you guys hear the "It's not about the money, money" (Jessie J's Price Tag) similarities?
I don't get the hype around him, but this is somewhat nice.

According to HDD, the song is impacting HAC also and some stations are playing it already. I saw a poll for it on a HAC station too and it won. It's going up against another song! I hope we see a few adds before the official impact dates. Once again, HDD has the top 40 impact date wrong, lol!  |

Really cheesy, I thought they want to show his duff street character, but this is too safe...

I posted the link to ALL ACCESS above. I listened to the full version I still get "I'm Yours" with a beat thrown under it. This is really bland but I'm rooting for Chris so I hope this is a hit for him. |

Pleasant, but so-so song. Don't see it doing any better than Young Homie.

This is excellent. Didn't expect this from Chris though. He's very versatile with his music and seems to mash different styles to make his own sound so it doesn't suprise me at all. If you listen to hies pre-xfactor work, you'd see this is right in his lane. |
