I jus't don't know with Amerie. I mean she makes solid albums, but she needs some monster hits, and she's very gentle. She needs something explosive, visually and musically. Thats it period.

I think she's fine....the type of music she makes isn't radio-friendly. I don't know why she signed to a major label if she was gonna make an album like In Love & War. The only song that could have been a hit was "Swag Back" and they ignored it.
BTW that name change is just....weird and unnecessary.

There were a couple of songs from her last album that could have atleast been r&b hits, or moderate ones. But she needs hits, she cannot keep releasing album cuts and expect to do well, especially not in these times. Another thing is she needs to get herself out there do some promo, not enough people are aware of who she is. She has always kinda been under the radar. How the heck does adding an extra I to your name make it sound more worldly lol.

This new song is the first good song Amerie's had since One Thing. I think she finally got her third hit with this song.

Who is she pretending to be? Satoshi Tomiie's doppelganger? Incredibly silly, childish and quite frankly, abjectly pathetic, if you'd ask me.

Amerie to record new album in ‘DNA Repairing Frequency’…Get ready to encounter some spiritual healing with Amerie’s new album ‘ Cymatica Vol. 1′. Apparently, the 30-year-old has confirmed that she’s recording her new album in DNA Repairing Frequency… Amerie is going all out to ensure the project is a success by recording her new tunes in frequency 528 Hz (DNA repair). Apparently, such frequency in music is known for healing the soul. Cymatics, which is the study of visible sound and vibration, is a subset of modal phenomena and she wants her fans to enjoy the full total experience. Apparently, the songstress is looking to release the spiritual project in the Spring/Summer of 2011.

I really hope she does well, i like her, but all of this new Cymatika stuff is all a little bit strange.

Ameriie Goes Blonde: ‘I Just Went for It!’Not only did Ameriie throw an extra “i” in her name to switch things up a bit, but the “1 Thing” singer took her image overhaul one step further. She recently debuted her new look at a Grey Goose event in Dallas, Texas, dying her luscious dark locks platinum blonde. “I’ve always wanted to go platinum blonde, and I figured I’d finally just do it,” Ameriie exclusively tells Rap-Up.com of her new ’do. “One of the things that inspired me are photos I’ve seen of children in the Solomon Islands. They are very brown-skinned, and a lot of them grow white-blonde hair naturally. The contrast in dark skin tone and extremely light hair is really beautiful to me. So I just went for it!” The Grammy nominee is currently in the studio recording Cymatika Vol. 1, the follow-up to last year’s In Love & War, which will showcase a more “international, worldly” sound.

I'm sorry she looks foolish. It looks like someone just threw an unfinished custard pie on her head. She looks like Beyonce in that pic with the girl next to her. Amerie comeback lol.

Amerie needs to find her identity. That's the problem with her.

Ack. It looks bad. It's too light, I think. She should have gone for a darker color.

That hair looks a mess à la Christina Milian. Just, no. Gurl, you're better than that.
Get it together.

The problem is she kinda gets lost in the industry, she does'nt have those instant smash singles that she needs to set herself apart from all of the others in the industry. One Thing' was catchy and it had her own stamp of approval on it, Why Don't We Fall In Love' was a great r&b song. She needs hits, huge ones, and she needs to set herself apart. She just always gets lost in the shuffle.

She needs to change the album title, everything is just getting weird and corny, it's starting to seem like she just wants attention.

The new Ameriie is going to take some time to warm up to. It's a drastic and extreme approach, but I commend her for being brave enough to do it.
