Amerie Returns With Surprise Double-Album & Explains What She Still Has to Prove: Exclusive

On Friday, the 38-year-old singer will independently release 4AM Mulholland and After 4AM, a “double project” that pivots from her pop-leaning past hits into a deep dive of more subdued, cavernous R&B and trance-laced productions. Mulholland opener “Curious” sets a moody, mysterious tone, followed by snappy, trap-heavy cuts like “A Heart’s for the Breaking” or “4TheLovers"; After 4AM tracks “Give It All Up” and “I Remember Us... ” deliver a pang of nostalgia with flecks of jittery pop and boom bap. The projects read as an artist content in creating in a way that reads and sounds satisfying to her -- bucking what listeners may expect from her past music or what traditional trends may dictate.

lol @ you ever handing out any L...nah. you were wrong. just acknowledge your crush on keri and her 1.5 songs from 09 that defined your first year of jerking off and move on :umadd:




and this is 3 pages longer than any keri hilson new music thread :sas2:
1.5? You are bugging. Amerie is the one who had 1.5 hits and I ain't that young. You're just mad Z-list level Amerie is a lounge singer who doesn't tour and when she does preform is for 20 people in a rat hole town.

"Upcoming 2018 concerts: none"

Ameriie

Keri Hilson has moved on with her life. The music thing didn't work out after her being black balled by beyonce and she is in other ventures. That's life :ohlawd: Thank god for the IG.

Take your L!




Nevermind.. someone said it leaked? I’ll just wait a few hours.

Updated thread title.

Beyoncé did the Go-Go sound with Crazy In Love so how exactly did she still Amerie’s sound? That confuses me. Both of the women are talented. shyt we need more comraderie in music. I love that they respect each other.


This.

When Amerie debuted, Beyonce wasn't even an established solo act. People act like Amerie's career was halted because of Beyonce. Amerie made great music, but she never really had the follow up singles to put her over the top. Beyonce blew up off of Rich Harrison production that was go go and people claim she stole Amerie's sound without ever acknowledging Beyonce had three successful Scott Storch produced songs that sounded nothing like Amerie to follow "Crazy In Love". Also worth mentioning is Rich also produced similar sounding songs for J. Lo and he produced Kelly Rowland's first single.

Exactly. It’s just one musical opinion that I continuously hear that doesn’t not make
any sense. If we’re being technical, Bey was really on the go-go wave with “Work It Out” (her first solo single produced by The Neptunes) and that was before “Crazy in Love”. Amerie was not making music with those elements until Touch. People are free not to like Bey (that’s their opinion), but they don’t need to be delusional.
