...hit to his production list. Touch is a catchy seductive track using a hypnotic crunk beat and a element of indian style music. Here Amerie shows off her sexy seductive side, and shows the world how much she's grown from her last album. The great thing about ameire is that she can be sexy without being labeled as a bimbo showing off most of her body, amerie's style in very sexy but classy..reminds me alot of aaliyahs influence (who she herself is ... ...the only one'
This is another catchy, funky track. Here she talks about not being the only one creeping around ie her boyfriend cheating on her, and he aint the only one playing games. This is song that is just a bit of fun, can't really be taken seriously; but its a great track. her voice is very seductive and its charm can't help but pull in listeners. Very good production both in vocal arrangment and music.

Advantages: Funky, Soulful, Great Voice, Happy Disadvantages: You gotta love RnB!!!
This new album has only recently been released - I am a person who had never heard of her until her latest single "1 thing" and thought I would purchase the album, since then i have fallen in love with it! Its one of those albums you tend to play over and over again until you know exactly whats coming where! The songs on the album vary from track to track from "1 thing! which is upbeat and funky to "Rolling Down my face" which is a smooth listening, ... ...voice is very different, loud and strong, she could be compared to the likes of Jennifer Lopez etc, simliar sounding voices and styles. She collaborates with EVE and CArl Thomas on this album also, which add a little more Voomph to the album!
If you like Mary J Blige, J-Lo, 112, Boys II Men, Bobby Valentino and Usher... You will not put this album down either! Thankyou! ...

Then came her newly realeased song "Touch" (hense the albums title) This song was produced ...

There's nothing like loving you"
CAN'T LET GO
****************
The beat is back here and again this is a slightly funkier song but no so much as Talkin' To Me. All the songs are very romantic and the music reflects that with sweet melodies and almost floaty vocals, without sounding sickly sweet.
It's about finding the one and not letting them go because you feel like wouldn't be able to go on if you ever let it slip away.
"I never knew each touch,
Between us would feel like the first time"
NEED YOU TONIGHT
************************
This starts off with a beat and Amerie speaking in a kind of sexy whispery voice over the top of it. This song is definately the most hip hop feeling beat based track on the album. It doesn't really have any music other than the beat but Amerie's vocal give...
