Amerie - Because I Love It (2007).zip - VK.
Genre: R&B, soul All I Have is the 2002 debut album from R&B singer Amerie Rogers, known simply under the mononym Amerie. This features one of the biggest hit songs of 2002, a track without a chorus, 'Why Don't We Fall In Love'. The CD was released on 30 July, 2002. Everybody I know likes the single 'Why Don't We Fall In Love'. Blige comparisions have been flying - due more to the music of that single moreso than her actual singing voice - and, having bobbed my head to a solid Mary track back in the day, I figured I'd take a risk with it. At the price they're selling it, I couldn't resist. Well, the album really soars and is easily one of the best R&B albums out so far this year (#3 by my list).
Matys Cornelissen was born before 1644 if it is assumed he was an adult when he arrived in New Amsterdam. Born in Hoorn, North Holland, according to Our Van Horn Kindred, but without the offer of any proof other than the fact that descendants choose the surname Van Horne. His marriage record would imply that he was. Amerie – Because I Love It Label: Columbia – 2, Sony BMG Music Entertainment – 2, Feenix Rising – 2.
It accomplishes this by no less than 3 obvious methods: 1) Amerie can sing your lady's weave off 2) There's primarily 1 composer/producer - Rich Harrison - and he's a solid old-school-minded producer (circa 80s, when it was developing into a decidedly electronic yet still soulful phenomenon), so the album has a tight consistency and vision. 3) It draws from solid influences that were great the first time we heard them, but twists them into the new millenium enough to be original-sounding. And, when it comes down to it, she really does have Blige-sounding moments, except she's clearly a superior singer. And while Blige has moved beyond making records that tend to go where this one goes (unfortunately on some fronts, thankfully on others), but Amerie has stomped a mudhole firmly into the R&B world with this record and her talent. It's fun, clean stuff that, through tight and busy vocal arrangements and an eye on what works in R&B, you'll be listening to for a while. Definitely for fans of Mary, SWV and Brandy.
