Amerie returns to “New Wave & 80′s” sounds for upcoming LP.

One of the baddest chicks in the game, Amerie, has thrilled her fans today by revealing on Twitter that, for her upcoming new album, she’ll be returning to the 80′s, New Wave influences that fueled her critically acclaimed 2007 LP Because I Love It.

She also continued on to say that her new album (titled “Cymatica Vol. I”) will be “completely different” to last years urban-rock experiment In Love & War.

Amerie + New Wave & 80′s = music of epic proportions.

I’m sure it’ll flop again, but as it sounds great I don’t mind.

Amerie’s music is actually so genuinely good that I think she should try and position herself closer to the alternative music scene, rather than continually trying to get up in a Beyonce/Rihanna world. Amerie already has a lot of critical success and with the right moves she could really position herself in the same field as artists like Robyn, Janelle Monae and Kid Cudi, who manage to crossover into the more indie, Pitchfork world and have a lot of success doing it.

    Amerie needs a new manager point blank! All her albums are critical acclaimed yet her success isn’t where it’s suppose to be. And all her albums are really good she needs a better marketing team as well cause Amerie is clearly a talented artist whose music is really good!

    Beyonce & Rihanna’s world? for real..? Amerie been a solo artist since 2002. Beyonce & Rihanna are nothing but what society wants them to be, & what they’re labels manufacture them to be, please stop right there. Anyway, i’ll be awaiting Amerie’s new album, I agree she needs new or better management, but I want her to keep her quality & not try to become like everyone else to sell records.

    LOL Dave that’s what I meant!

    I said she should STOP trying to get up in that Rihanna/Beyonce world and move more alternative and try and get the real music fans, eg Pitchfork!

    @Dave Um…Beyonce is the queen. She does what she wants and when she wants and its always the best. That is all.

    Dsabadmofo, stfu! Beyonce is boring as hell, she does what she’s instructed to, she’s your queen not mine. I’m sorry no person on this earth, including an artist is not my queen. That’s sad… Let her be your queen & live under her jurisdiction. Not me. & Oh, Prophet, I get in my stan mode for Amerie, lmao

    Amerie should do a funky rock album, along the lines of Higher, Dangerous, Tell Me You Love Me, and Why R U.

    Still looking forward to the new album though…

  • TJ

    Amerie?
    New album?
    I’m down for whatever!
    But I do agree with Ethan a lil.
    I want at least a couple tracks like “Tell Me You Love Me” and “Why R U”.

    But PLEASE, not another carbon copy of “That’s What U R”!…(eg. “Red Eye”)…
