New Music in '08

With the new year already started, it seems like 2008 is a year of comebacks for music artists. This year we can expect new material from Usher ( you can listen to his new song "dat girl right there" ft. ludacris), Tweet, Nas (although it has not been released yet, controversy has already begun with the album titled Nig*er), Erykah Badu, Ashanti ("Hey Baby" which was suppose to be her first single, didn't get the attention they thought it would, even though i liked it and heard it playing as i was walking out of H&M, has been replaced), Janet Jackson (she also premiered her new video last week called "Feedback," it isn't bad but I'm not a big fan of hers), Missy Elliott, Mariah Carey, and the fixed up crack user Whitney Houston (lol).

Also to this list of returners are some of my favorites. We can welcome back Letoya Luckett. I absolutely love her new single, with Slim Thug, Bun B, and Killa Kyleon, called "Swagger". After her hit single 'Torn" and the follow up single "She Don't," Letoya disappeared from the spotlight with a long anticipated comeback.

Brandy will also be returning to the stage. This past year has been a hard one on her definitely, after almost being charged with the death of a driver in an accident in 2006. Luckily all charges were dropped in an recent trial, after drugs possession was found in the car and in the body of the woman that was killed. I'm happy for Brandy and I'm looking forward to her comeback. Hopefully this time around she will get more airplay.

My man John Legend will be back on the scene as well. He is such a unique artist to me. His soulful songs and voice is so appealing to me. I'll be watching out for him.

Nicole Wray also has a new single out. If you don't remember she had a hit single out called "make it hot" with Missy Elliott back in the '90s. She then was featured on Missy's song (and video) "All in my grill" and after slowly disappeared from the music industry. She did return with her video "If i was your girlfriend" but it didn't do as well as expected. Now she is back with her new song "Stand Up." Looking forward to her comeback.

Has anyone heard of TGT?? Well its the new R&B group formed by Tank, Genuine, and Tyrese. This sounds iffy to me. I'll have to see what they are able to bring to the table. I don't see why they have to form a group after they all had their own individual successes. They have two new singles out called "Sex" and "Girlfriend."

Last but not least, my girl Faith Evans will be back. Her new single is called "Maybe." After her last album, The First Lady, i am extremely excited to hear her new material.

2008 seems like its going to be a year full of exciting music. Can't wait to hear all of these artists.
