I hope this is a hit for her, she desperately needs it. She needs to shoot some promo pics, go open up for a few peoples tour, release a banging single, and promote herself. This is only shot i feel now. This next album has to be a success, ot she'll be facing some not so good news perhaps.

I like the blonde/white hair. (Where did I read that she was eventually going to go white for the album?) I love this "Inside Your Body" song.
She has a theme this time around. As silly as it all seems to us, if the music is good, who cares? Last time she had some semblance of a theme we got "Because I Love It". Go for it.

She officially calls this one her new single. You hear a bit of a different part of it.

Amerie needs to find her identity. That's the problem with her. She has one it's not her fault that Beyonce stole it from her 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.

Ok, is it "Inside Your Body" or "Outside Your Body," because it's different across the different sub-forums here.

I think her best shot is with Pretty Brown though.

For the last few years, Contemporary R&B has had one kind of odd/unexpected nominee (Kelis, Emily King, Karina, Pleasure P) and she received an '06 nomination in that category for Touch so I think she has an outside chance of getting another one (which she completely deserves IMO).

I doubt it will get nominated, but it's the closest thing to Because I Love It that was released in America.

This is only shot i feel now. This next album has to be a success, ot she'll be facing some not so good news perhaps. To be honest, I find it a miracle we're getting another album, let alone that we got In Love & War. I was expecting her to have label trouble or something after the fiasco that was Because I Love It. I love both albums, but it's still surprising to me she has a major record deal, considering no one has any clue who the hell she is.

Uhm..a lot of people know who Amerie is..especially fans in the R&B community who loved her first album. For Amerie not to be a huge star, she has her own sound and she knows it. I doubt she'll get ANY nods, but she does have a nice size following.

I dont think Amerie really has a sound. She changes her sound every album. The closest I would say to her having any kind of sound is that go go beat but she doesnt even really do that anymore and people associate that more with Beyonce now anyway

Amerie has that 90 HipHop/R&B sound...and of course the Go-Go sound. "Like A Star" couldn't easily been on her second album and "Red Eye" could have been on her first & third...etc

Ok, is it "Inside Your Body" or "Outside Your Body," because it's different across the different sub-forums here. Either way, it sounds TRIFLING.

I heard that Cymatika will be influenced by New Wave, Trance, and Acid House, which interests me since I love New Wave and Trance. I hope it turns out good. Can't really make out what Inside Your Body sounds like from that clip.

Is Def Jam seriously going to fund, release, and promote a project like that? In a perfect world, yes, but their track record makes me skeptical.

I wonder why they have kept her around when her last two albums flopped?

She made her first 3 albums (All I Have, Touch & Because I Love It) with Sony. Then she left Sony for Def Jam after they had issues over the US release of Because I Love It.
In Love & War was her Def Jam debut.

This album has to be a hit, she has no other choice, her last album was really good tho. I don't understand why that performed so poorly. Well as far as promo,press and hit singles i get it. But the material was there.
