New Music Tuesday: Albums Of The Week

Welcome back to another edition of New Music Tuesday. Now with the hectic holidays over, I thought it a good idea to wait until it was all over with to start re-writing again. So here it is ;o)

This week, we have a good range of new music, and hope you enjoy it:

Omarion - Ollusion

This is the 3rd studio album from the former B2K singer, and looks to be quite a success on the R&B charts, as well as potential for a pop chart crossover. With the release of the 1st single, ‘I Get It In’, there was a bit of a change. Originally recorded with Lil Wayne, a label change from Young Money to EMI, had caused for Gucci Mane to lay down a rap instead. As for the 2nd single, ‘Speedin’, look for that to do well on the charts in the coming months. A must have this week…

Matt Morris - When Everything Breaks Open

This is the debut album for the former Mickey Mouse alum/singer/songwriter. The son of Country singer Gary Morris, it is obvious that the musical talent runs in the family. After having written songs for Music’s pop princesses Kelly Clarkson & Christina Aguilera (Miss Independent & Can’t Hold Us Down), Morris finally does right by letting his own material be heard. A must have…

Laura Veirs - July Flame

This is the 7th studio album from the Songstress/Songwriter, and with the title track being just as infectious as the rest of the album, it is a must have for this week. Look for another track, ‘Wide-Eyed, Legless’ to become just as popular as ‘July Flame’…

Heidi Montag - Superficial

This is the debut album of one of everybody’s favorite conservative reality television personalities, Heidi Montag (Sans Hubby Spencer Pratt, sadly). The album itself is modeled after Pop music’s favorite female icons, Madonna, Britney Spears, and Gwen Stefani. Given an electro pop feel, the album seems to be following the current trend. Given the artist, it also seems as if the album will not be given a fair listen. To be partial, if a listener didn’t know it was Ms. Montag, then the album would be hailed a must have.

When In Rome (Soundtrack)

A definite must have soundtrack for the week would be this one. With a nice mix of today’s popular artists, such as Matchbox 20, Paolo Nutini, 3OH!3, and Tina Parol, this soundtrack does not disappoint. Especially look for the single, ‘Kickin’ It With You’, from Jason Mraz, to be a breakout hit… a must have for this week…
