Part Chinese R&B artist Ne-Yo released a music video/commercial for “Burnin’ Up” in conjunction with Malibu Red. In the video, an angry woman yells at Ne-Yo in Spanish. Instead of reacting negatively to the woman, Ne-Yo is mesmerized by her. During his performance, he captures her eye as if he’s singing to her. He love that fire in her eyes. The thoughts of her have him burning up. You can download the song FREE here.

What I Do by J. Reyez (contains profanity)
Lyrics to What I Do by J. Reyez
(verse 1)
I put that ice in it, them chills down my spine
and I be slow sipping, thinking about them times
of other times and what I’m gonna do with time now
accustomed to this life but the world is upside down
she listening while I chit chat, and I drink this and she sip that
that money money I get that, she’d feel good in the pitch black
but I see her ways, I don’t kiss her back, she expecting sh*t, that tit for tat
even if she ten, I’m crazy though, but don’t give in to no shady hoes
and I be leaning to the left, leaning to the right
I’m kinda dizzy, please forgive me if I’m impolite
cause I’m having fun with it and I’ma run with it
and f*ck them other thirsty bitches that be buzz killing
I’ma represent, gotta keep it trill
and I know she will, she know the deal
I got my team here, it’s all good vibes
like we should right? have a good night
(chorus)
this is what I do, every single other day
doing what I do, even if they had enough of me
don’t know what you thinking, don’t care about the opinions
and XO’s from the b*tches, that XO’s what I’m drinking
this is what I do, do, every single other day
doing what I do, even if they had enough of me
don’t know what you thinking, don’t care about the opinions
trying to fill the void that I’m missing and carry on with my business
(verse 2)
getting a bit tired, need to drink some of that energy
pretty women everywhere, mistaken identity
I ask her what her name is, I don’t wanna forget you
she looking like the the type that I wanna wake up next to
and later on we heading out, it’s my last night that I’m in town
in a beamer to get around while listening to that underground
my homie forgot his I.D. so he stayed out while we partied
I texted her to come find me and through the crowd she saw me
we in LA, downtown, we geeked up with them mollies
she tell me that she had fun, let’s do it again and she called me
I’m so gone, feeling faded, we working with our coordination
you feel me and I feel you, we need that californication
her eye’s are so appealing, this is the best feeling
her body she is revealing, forget what I was thinking
live our lives to the fullest, not enough of time
but we gon have the best night of our f*cking lives
Singer Jasmine V released the lyrics video for her single “Didn’t Mean It “. The track talks about an apologetic guy, who is remorseful about his words he’s used. Jasmine doesn’t believe that he is genuine. She’d rather leave him that continue to suffer with him. Actions speak louder than words.
Do you see me and still feel love
or have I changed inside your heart
To have only you, is such a force
To give all all of me is not enough.
You left then, you came back
Sorry won’t make it up to me
Sorry won’t make me believe
He’s down on bending knees
You’re down on bending knees
Saying, you didn’t mean it
you didn’t mean it
if you didn’t mean it
Then why would you say it
You didn’t mean it
you never mean it.
Then why in the world would you say it
‘Til tomorrow, don’t you know
Love me now or let me go
He didn’t mean it
you never mean it.
Then why in the world would you say it
Say it, say it
i miss the way we used to be
Now you’re the one that i can’t keep
Thought I was first, and never last
Thought it was you, I would always have
You left then, you came back
Sorry won’t make it up to me
Sorry won’t make me believe
You didn’t mean it
You didn’t mean it
if you didn’t mean it
Then why would you say it
He didn’t mean it
You never meant it
Then why in the world would you say it
‘Til tomorrow, don’t you know
Love me know or let me go
He didn’t mean it
You never mean it.
Then why in the world would you say it
It’s time to let you go,
It’s time to say goodbye
Boy, you need to know,
I’m done with you messing with my mind
You didn’t mean it
You never mean it.
Oh!
You didn’t mean it
You never mean it.
Then why in the world would you say it.
You didn’t mean it
You didn’t mean it
If you didn’t mean it
Then why would you say it
You didn’t mean it
You never mean it it
Then why in the world would you say it…….. (hold)
‘Til tomorrow, don’t you know
Love me now or let me go
You didn’t mean it
You never mean it
Then why in the world would you say it…..
Say it…, say it….
Then why in the world would you say it….
Say it…, say it…
Then why in the world would you say it…

As written in the song:
There’s a war outside that’s taking so many lives | What’s left to do but cry | But we got to believe in something, don’t just stand for nothing | Fight for your rights and let’s end this war!
With this call to action, what steps will we take. You can get the single on or amazon. 50% of all proceeds from the sale of this song in the first month will be donated directly to Free the Slaves (www.freetheslaves.net), a charity focused on ending slavery for women, children and men around the world.

Singer Jennifer Chung released the music video for her single “Common, Simple, Beautiful“. The video and song reflects on the comfort of being near your loved ones. Here’s more from Jennifer Chung on the track:
Finally the video is up! I first wrote this song when I was away from home in college when I was 18.. I hadn’t seen my mom in so long and “home” felt so far away. The song came so naturally from my heart and it’s amazing how I finally got to shoot a music video for it this past February, about 4 years after I wrote the song, when I was up there for my SF album show.
Jennifer’s San Francisco Bay Area roots are the focus with home video footage with friends and family. With the thoughts of loved ones back home, she makes her journey to Los Angeles to live her dreams. YOu can get her single on or amazon.
Common, Simple, Beautiful music video by Jennifer Chung
Lyrics to Common, Simple, Beautiful by Jennifer Chung
Don’t you agree
When they all say
“Home is where the heart is.”
But do you see
With every step that you take,
You get further away
From where the heart is.
It’s so easy to be blinded
& caught up in the clouds where everything’s in a haze
Causing you to forget about the days,
Of the common, simple, beautiful ways.
I remember all the times that I had spent with my friends.
Taking BART to San Francisco just for 350 cents.
Talking, laughing, joking – didn’t quite k now what was to come.
Years of memories, irreplaceable fun.
I remember telling mom that I’d make her proud one day.
She would smile and knew exactly all the right things to say.
Man, I miss her & can’t wait till I get back to the bay.
Back to the common, simple, beautiful ways.
Isn’t it nice,
To simply know,
There’s somewhere you can go back to.
So it’s a big sacrifice
Everytime that you decide
You can’t even if you want to.
It’s so easy to be blinded
& caught up in the clouds where everything’s in a haze
Causing you to forget about the days,
Of the common, simple, beautiful ways.
I remember all the times that I had spent with my friends.
Taking BART to San Francisco just for 350 cents.
Talking, laughing, joking – didn’t quite k now what was to come.
Years of memories, irreplaceable fun.
I remember telling mom that I’d make her proud one day.
She would smile and knew exactly all the right things to say.
Man, I miss her & can’t wait till I get back to the bay.
Back to the common, simple, beautiful ways.
