Amerie Signs To Def Jam, Will Maybe Get To Release An Album Amerie Signs To Def Jam, Will Maybe Get To Release An Album
Amerie is set to undergo a career overhaul - after inking a deal with Def Jam. The singer, who parted ways with Columbia Records earlier this year, released two albums to moderate success. She is hoping the new contract with Def Jam will help boost her career to even greater heights. Rebounding from rumors of being dropped by Columbia after the blog love for her last album, Because I Love It, failed to inspire the label to release it Stateside, Amerie has signed to Def Jam and is already hard at work on her first album for the label, Ironically, I wouldn't be surprised if Sony finally releases Because I Love It (at least on iTunes) if Def Jam succeeds in making Amerie an across-the-board. After all, it's bound to be referenced in every article. Despite being glad that she's going to be able to move on with her career, there's still part of me that's disappointed that "Crush" never got a chance to reach audiences here. As enjoyable as the singles "Take Control" and "Gotta Work" were, I think this homage to the days of Rhythm Nations and synth-orhcestra stabs would have sounded great coming out of car radios last summer (or even this one). | |

Amerie releasing an album stateside. Imagine that. Is DefJam any better in the long run? Well another "Knowles" is ripping her off big time. Just saw this Solange Knowles video which is ALL amerie and the sound she was doing in the UK, TOTAL RIPOFFS. I see it runs in that family.

As long as AMERIE keeps the style that she has been showing, to me she is one of the last that can be "Sexy" without trying at all. She has that classic 70's sex appeal going, and its not a fake one, im just hoping def jam keeps and lets her do her thing, and doesnt push her into bullshit songs with Tpain and Young Jeezy "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

SEXY AM IN A JAM 
ABOVE: RnB girl Amerie set to be a big hit like Rihanna 12th June 2008 LEGGY Amerie has signed a megabucks deal with the label behind Rihanna’s foxy transformation. The 1 Thing singer, 28, scooped a huge wad of cash to join Def Jam, who turned Rihanna, 20, into a global superstar by bagging her the smash hit track Umbrella. A source said: “Amerie’s first two albums did well but she’s ready to step it up a gear now. “She was offered a deal too good to turn down and the promise to build upon her reputation for classy and sexy R&B.” I AM EXTREMELY EXCITED BOUT THIS BUT I DO NOT WANT THEM TO TURN HER INTO RIHANNA | |

If they are going to let Amerie keep her style, keep the feel that she had going with "because i Love it" and just GET BEHIND that as a label and push the envelope and the product than its a good thing "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

I thought Solange was going to play the "housewife" role of the family. I guess since she's gotten a divorce that she has changed her mind??? I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

Wow, just because of this description, I downloaded "Crush", and I LOVE IT. Thanks. This'll sound great coming out of my car stereo this summer, at least. I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

The whole album is just a great piece of work and something that MAINSTREAM RB needed to change the current scene, but the powers that be and certain "haters" kept this cd from seeing the light of day in America, but as Amerie said, "my fans bought the import, so right there i know someone likes me" "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

She is certainly not the first, last, or only artist to go into the 60/70s era (which is what Solange is doing). Stop blaming stuff on Beyonce & co., other female artists have been able to attain some level of success. Amerie hasn't because she sucks and that's the consensus. love is a fate resigned memories mar my mind love it is a fate resigned Over futile odds and laughed at by the Gods and now the final frame Love is a losing game | |

Its not about having a patent on something, its about someone with POWER at a label actually being afraid of someone doing something better than you can can do it, this is not the first time that the Knowles family has had something shelved in favor of their product at the Sony Label, its got nothing to do with who has got more talent, its about who has more clout.

Mathew Knowles does not have that much power, stop trying to put him in play with Clive Davis, La Reid and Tommy Mottolla. You been trying to sell that same ole conspiracy act for years now. We don't believe you, you need more people! If anybody is supposed to be a "threat" to Beyonce, Amerie is at the bottom of the poll.

Columbia records has only one successful young black female R&b singer . ONE!
Columbia's artist roster once consist of 5 upcoming talents and each with right label backing could've secured successful careers for themselves Tiffany Evans Vivian Green Kelly Rowlands Michelle Williams Amerie Rogers Besides Michelle Williams & Kelly Rowlands who are fortunate enough not to fear being dropped (cos Columbia would not dare complicate the chances of what is sure to be a huge money maker , another Destiny's Child album) , the other two have left/been dropped fromn the label (Amerie & Vivian) Tiffany Evans album was a commercial disaster and received minimal label backing Even Kelly & Michelle who have the benefit of have close ties to one of the labels biggest money makers are still facing commercial failure even tho they have been considerably alotm more opprtunities than Amerie , Tiffany & Vivian ever had | |

[Edited 6/16/08 20:26pm] Also if you think Matthew Knowles doesnt have power at sony than you are in a dream world. Tommy mottola who you mention has zero pull now, he is a shell of who he once was. If you dont think these "cut throat" things dont go on, ask Benny Medina who basically has done the deal for anyone who writes his checks. All i can say is if you dont believe it, whatever like i care, its a known fact, just do some research on the track "1 thing" and its origins, also look into Rich harrison, and how much of a producer/writer he really is and isnt.
