    The Beat: New Music Reviews
    Aaron gives his reviews on new songs that have recently surfaced.

    I like this song from Trey Songz called "Still Hurt". I'm not sure why this song wasn't on his album because it definitely could have used it. He's a real hit and miss artist to me. Sometimes he comes out with a good song but usually most of his stuff is just mediocre to me. Here's another new one titled "Fades away". I'm indifferent about this track. Pretty much like I said before most of his stuff is just mediocre to me.


    My sources say Michael Jackson is coming out with a 25th anniversary edition of his album Thriller. This remixed track of "Wanna be starting something" sung by Akon is said to be one of four remixed tracks to be featured on the album. I really like this song although I am not a big fan of Akon or his voice. I have to admit, if your going to remix a Michael Jackson song you gotta bring it, and I think he did a really good job on this track. Way to bring back a classic Akon!


    Speaking of Michael Jackson, here's a new song from him titled "Let me go". I don't think I care for this song too much at all. Its nice to see him still around but he just doesn't seem to have the appeal that he once used to have. I think he should let these other imitations of him continue to handle the new realm of music.


    Bonus track from Alicia Keys new album As I am titled "Hurts so bad". Just like the rest of the album it has a very old skool vibe to it which I really like. I actually can bare this song much more than some others on the album. She's singing in her right voice and doesn't sound like she's straining her voice to sing. The track is just ok to me though.
