Rita Ora feat Chris Brown - Body On Me (Remixes)

This is a new collaboration involving the two Pop and R&B singers. It is a sensual midtempo that contains one of Rita's strongest vocals to date and is one of Chris Brown's best features in a while. Their vocals complement one another perfectly. There are remixes by Dave Aude and Zac Samuel. Dave Aude has delivered a mix that is faster than the original, but isn't quite at a traditional House tempo. It's in the style of the Tropical House that has been popular. The vibe of the original translates extremely well with this remix. Zac Samuel's Disco-lite remix is at a higher tempo and also works well. Both remixes are exquisite.

Asher Monroe feat Chris Brown - Memory

This is the followup to last year's "Hush Hush". The former boyband member teams up with controversial R&B star Chris Brown on this "I Gotta Feeling"-sounding Dance/Pop track. The result is an ultra catchy track that is sure to burn up the airwaves once the right promotion happens. This could perhaps help Asher to finally make a mainstream crossover. A full remix package for the single is due in the next few weeks as well.

Chris Brown - Fine China

After dabbling in Dance/Electronic music for the last couple of years with some Hip Hop thrown in for good measure, Chris Brown returns to his R&B roots with this smooth new single. It manages to straddle that fine line between R&B and Dance/Pop, remaining closer to R&B. It has the feel of something Michael Jackson would have done towards the earlier part of his solo career. With pure R&B coming back in a major way during the last year or so, Chris is on the right track with this one.

Chris Brown - Don't Wake Me Up

Continuing with his foray into Dance/Electronic music, R&B bad boy Chris Brown's latest single is produced by Benny Benassi. They previously did "Beautiful People" together. The production on the main version is radio and club-ready. Despite being severely autotuned, the vocals are pretty good. This song would work well as a downtempo if such a version were to be made. William Orbit also produced a laidback remix version. The vocals have more room to breathe on this version. Both versions are very well-produced. This should be another hit for the singer this Summer.

Ciara featuring T-Pain - Go Girl

This is the first, proper single off of her upcoming third album entitled Fantasy Ride. Immediately calling to mind "Kiss Kiss" by Chris Brown with its synths, this song manages to stand on its own. Ciara's vocals are heavily vocoded, however she sounds decent. A little better than usual. T-Pain's rap portion is long enough. It could be easily edited for even more streamlined play. The lyrics are a little racy, but nothing we haven't heard before. Unfortunately, this song doesn't have a "hook" the way some of her past singles did. With the right alternate remix, possibly with another artist guest starring, this one may be able to generate a lasting impression.
