Just a little over a week away from the release of her latest studio effort, Sing, Pray, Love Vol. 1: Sing, Kelly Price and Ruben Studdard let the love flow with a duet all about being there for one another after a tough day.  With vocals that a both powerful and sweet, this track will have you aching to envelope the one you love and say "woo, woo, woo."

Kelly Price (feat. Ruben Studdard) – Back 2 Love

Rotimi is probably one of the more underrated singers out right now.  While the reason for that might be because he is focusing more on his acting than his singing, when he does choose to release something, it is always worth a listen.  This sexed-up single seems to have no point of origin (for the life of me I can't track down where it originated from), but it so sultry and vocally powerful that we may all have to take a moment to come up for air.  Let's hope it's a precursor to an album or full-length mixtape.

Rotimi – Breathe

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when even the generation the music is supposed to appeal to find it lacking.  You might not have heard of Priscilla Renea before, but you have likely heard her work.  Having written for Tamar Braxton, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Madonna, Kelly Rowland and K. Michelle, she tells listeners that she missed the days when music had variety and meaning.

Priscilla Renea - I Miss Music

Sometimes it seems like we're a little hard on him, but we love Eric Bellinger.  There is just something about his music that just makes your heart sing.  This new track is definitely an example of that.  Reaching out to a woman that has been hurt by love, he promised to heal her in the way that only he can.

Eric Bellinger - Paint You A New Heart

While many people haven't heard from her since My Neck My Back or when she was featured on Janet Jackson's So Excited, Khia has been putting in work since 2002.  Set to release her new album on July 4th, she has decided to put down some r&b vocals for the first single.  All about telling her man that she is willing to give her all because he does, this is a side of the Thug Misses that we don't get to see very often but like when we do.

Khia - You Deserve It

Bridget Kelly is far too talented to be languishing the way she is on Roc Nation's roster.  While her full length album has yet to materialize, she does keep gifting us with her smoky tones through leaked releases and mixtapes.  This unreleased gem is a mash-up cut that has Kelly vowing not to let her lover know how much she cares in the first part before deciding to give in to her feelings in the second.  We can only hope that this is a precursor to the start of an official Bridget season.

Bridget Kelly - I Won't Cry/Almost More

Masspike Miles has been known to drop a bedroom jam or two but, with the second part of Skky Miles 3, he's introducing us to a more hardcore side of himself.  Still offering smooth vocals and solid lyrics, Miles has decided to tell us what it was like when he was on the come-up.  Proof that every individual is complex, listening to both parts of Skky Miles 3 will give you a better picture of the complete man and artist.

On the same day that her husband releases his track Stay, articulating the reasons why they should stay together, Tiny releases her own track that let his know what's good for the goose is good for the gander.  The Xscape alum doesn't seem to have lost any vocal steps despite being not putting music in the forefront of her life.  Letting her man know that the ball is in his court, Mrs. Harris is putting out there for all the wronged ride-or-dies to sing along to.

Tameka “Tiny” Harris – What The F*ck You Gon Do?

All about a man that is trying to get back with her after messing up their relationship, this song could easily be seen as a part two to Ella Eyre's Comeback.  The production is sweet and melodic, an excellent match for Tinashe's vocals (and a departure from what most people expect when they hear a DJ Mustard beat).   The attitude that comes through, however, is pure fire.  It sound like a calm tell-off over the phone that hurts more than any yelling ever could.  One can only hope that this full version ends up on her LP, Aquarius, that's due out this fall.

Tinashe - Checks In (Full Track)

Not expected to be on her upcoming LP, a leak of one of the rejected tracks from Aquarius has surfaced.  Over a bass-heavy, stuttering T-Minus beat, Tinashe sings about an essentially anonymous one-night stand.  She makes it perfectly clear to the man that he is just a fix-up until something real comes along.  Those that are familiar with her track Chainless will recognize this side of singer; brash and giving zero fucks.  A pretty good track, but there does feel like something is missing from it; but, considering that this is likely an incomplete demo, there is a lot of potential here.

Tinashe - In The Meantime

Having a little fun with the Trey Songz and Mila J track Disrespectful, Emanny does some table turning by letting some of the male singers who brag about bagging other men's girlfriends by saying he's doing the same to them.  In a short freestyle, he initially worries about how these men would feel about his extracurricular activities before declaring that he doesn't really care what they think.  And why should he; apparently these singers are all talk.

Emanny - Disrespectul (None Of These Singers)

Despite the title, Emanny drops a song that has an oddly romantic feel to it.  What you expect is some raunchy club jam about getting it in; what you get is a track about missing the feeling (and feelings) associated with the person you love.  With a beautifully melodic piano serving as the production's centerpiece, this track gives a male perspective on the "I miss you" song.

Emanny - Ya Sex

Tinashe’s Aquarius came out yesterday and fans are loving the fact that the artist stuck with the core of her original sound, but any fan of Tinashe’s will know that there are two sides to that sound.  She has the alt. R&B side that shows itself on songs like Thug Cry and Feels Like Vegas and then there are songs like Little Things.  Sounding like her hit 2 On and underground banger Chainless, she lets the object of her affection know that she has it over his current girl because of the little things she does.  The production sounds like a DJ Mustard beat, but probably not since there’s no audio watermark (“Mustard on the beat, ho!”).  While it wouldn’t have been a good fit for her album, this is a fun little party song to bob your head to.

Siya (feat. Problem) - I'm The Sh*t (prod. by Gene Bell)

With a funky sound and a feature from Nice and Smooth's Greg Nice, Al Chauncy is seeking to start off promotion for his new album on the good foot.  Offering a little more upbeat flavor this time around but with the same soul, the singer lets a woman know that he might be a little tipsy off her good love.  The song strikes a good chord with the ear from the moment it starts playing with it's bombastic drum and well-placed horns.  Chauncy's vocals are a great match for the track, giving off energy and fun with every note.  Greg Nice's verse, while short, add a little something to the track and sticks very closely to the theme of the track.  The lyrical metaphor is carried pretty well throughout the track and has the added benefit of making this a good party track for a wide audience.
