10 songs is also the threshold before pressing CDs becomes more expensive.

I've been on an Amerie binge ever since I created a Genius Mix of "Crazy Wonderful" a few weeks ago. Her catalog is extremely impressive considering she hasn't had a lot of big hits.

Which album is your favorite if you have one? I think Because I Love It is her best so far, but I do really like "Tell Me You Love Me" from In Love & War and "Rolling Down My Face" from Touch. Her first album is my second favorite.

"Touch" is my favorite Amerie album.
Excited for new music. She always brings it.

Her first album is my second favorite. My favorite is All I Have. It's one of the best R&B debut albums since 2000 followed by Because I Love It then Touch. "Talkin' About", "All I Need", "1 Thing", and "Touch" were JAMS!!!

She has yet to make a "bad" album in my book. I still don't understand why BILI wasn't properly released in America.

She uploaded the full track today; it's apparently the first single. It sounds straight out of the Because I Love It era, which means I love it.

It feels like it goes on forever, but there are some interesting elements in the production. It just doesn't work when they're all together.

It does sound a little long-winded towards the end but I'm bursting with exciting about this project. This is another chick that has NEVER had a bad album.

It kinda feels like a 2014 version of 1 Thing to me. I'd like to hear her try something moodier, we've gotten enough of the bouncy music like this from her.

Hmmm... I have been anticipating Mrs. Amerie for the longest. This song gives me a hybrid of 1 Thing and Gotta Work but without the chutzpah that made those songs brilliant. The verses and the "What I Want" chant are fine but that chorus SUCKS. Nothing about it is clever and I'm used to clever being defined in her music. Also I wish she would have used a different sample. So many obscure funk samples she could have used for a better result. (Yes, I know she's independent so budgeting may have been an issue.) Hopefully with the visual and live performances, I'll be able to get pass it and really enjoy it. I do love that a LIVE band played on this because that elevated the playing field.
All that aside, I really hope she has some cute 80's gems like Crazy Wonderful and Some Like It with MORE rock cuts like Higher along with some of those beautiful mids like Can't Let Go and Nothing Like Loving You. She has some areas in her own catalog that I would love to see her revisit and flesh out more.
I also want something new and modern. I wish she would work with Miguel (I think they would compliment each other VERY well), Brandy and Kelis (especially with this FOOD vibe).

Touch... masterpiece All I Have... classic debut Because I Love It In Love & War
Rich Harrison or Pop & Oak and B!NK really need to get her back in the studio.

I like the song, but I agree that it kinda drags. Hopefully she'll release the album soon this year so we can hear what else she's been making!

Sorry for those expecting news.
I just wanted to say I was reading the Because I Love It thread last night out of a mixture of curiosity and boredom, and it's really sad how Columbia basically ended her stateside success by refusing to promote BILI.

Is there a reason why Because I Love It isn't on iTunes? Has it ever been there?
I've been listening to her a lot lately for whatever reason. All I Have is a great album, and Touch/In Love & War are solid too. I've never really gotten the love for Because I Love It.

https%3A//soundcloud.com/ameriie-2/mustang Sounds like a lower quality version of the Because I Love It material.

Sounds promising but no where near her previous work. Amerie has NEVER made a bad album so the expectations are sky high. She's the only R&B grl that I'm most looking forward to. Her and Letoya need to stop dicking around and release these damn albums.
A few weeks ago I released to "All I Have" and realized how flawless and ahead of its time it was. I'm hoping she can create another melodic throwback r&b album. That's my all time favorite r&b debut album since 00.

She touches on new music in this interview with Audrey Magazine. She mentions working on a BILI sequel and Cymatika simultaneously but it also mentions that her husband produced "What I Want" so that may explain the production being of lower quality. I'm personally still interested in hearing Cymatika just to see if she can successfully pull such an experimental style off. t.co/89Nqy9a5q7
