Yesterday Amerie released her highly anticipated fourth album "In Love & War", and I must say that it is one of the best R&B releases this year. This album definitely proves that there is a place for Amerie in mainstream music. After much criticism and a brief disappearance from the music scene, Amerie is back with much ferocity, and her sound is better than ever. With songs such as "Tell Me You Love Me", "Dangerous", and "Why R U" she reminds us exactly why we like her and rooted for her in the past. Not only does she give us her classic go-go sound, she delivers a different sound on "Higher", a 1960s Jimi Hendrix inspired groovy rock jam, and "Red Eye", a smooth ballad produced by Bryan-Michael Cox. Although I have never pinned Amerie as one of the best female vocals, and she does have some shaky notes throughout the album, she makes up for it with her unique sound. Get it on iTunes here.

Amerie has the musical taste of a rapper! Think about ti, what female R&B artist would do a song to this track? I love it. "In Love & War" is the name of the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Amerie scheduled for release next Tuesday November 3, 2009.
Amerie is back with a vengeance. I must say that I really wasn't feeling this song too much when I first heard it, but this video is a banger! As much as I criticize artist for not going hard enough, I really do love to see when someone comes out with their shit together.
A behind the scenes look at Amerie's new music video for her single "Why R U?" from her album In Love & War" due in stores August 11th. The official music video is directed by Ray Kay.
