But they are both two of R&B’s finest ladies Amerie does her R&B/go-go/hip-hop swing and Beyoncé does her R&B/soul/funk/hip-hop/slow jam flavour. While there are tracks consisting of refixes of other songs like Ludacris’ Money In The Bank and Money Maker and Shalamar’s Weekend Love, most of the set is original material.I can’t wait for it, Amerie’s done some really good music, I think this whole Beyoncé copied Amerie hype is crap, I mean come on, OK maybe “B’Day” did sound a bit like “Touch” but to be honest haven’t any of you guys heard the stuff that’s been out for the past 4 years? Everyone’s jumped onto this Dance-pop/Electronic Dance-pop Music/Electro-pop/R&B-pop vibe and it’s boring! and OK maybe Beyoncé’s outfit in the “Crazy in Love” video does KINDA look like Amerie’s one in the “Why Don’t We Fall in Love” video.
While this kind of release schedule isn’t unusual overseas (or in the US for less well-known artists), it did turn off a lot of American listeners and led some people to ignore the actual album release. This likely led to some confusion about the album’s actually release date (another year later). One of the reason (we feel) for that is because, despite her second album coming out less than a year earlier, she and her management decided to release a mixtape (or two, depending on where you live in the world) before the official release and name it the same thing and include the lead single. As we stated before, Because I Love It is a great album, but it never got an American release. Ameriie’s second album, Touch, turned out to be a big deal for her as it proved that her first album had not been a fluke and managed to bypass the sophomore curse, but it also made it essential that she follow it up with something just as good (if not stronger).
We asked our readers/followers whether or not we should make this available and the answer was yes.
