Mixtape Roundup
A Mix, Because We Love Amerie Rogers
It slipped our minds, too. This week, Amerie turned 29. Whatever reasons Amerie doesn't "hit" with some folks are inconsequential at this point, and please spare us the Beyoncé comparisons. Cats were comparing her to Mary J. during the course of All I Have and it was tired then. Sometimes you just dig someone. There's no science to it, no parsing worth engaging in. With that, we wish Amerie a Happy Belated Birthday with a quick blend of some banging tunes of hers. This one is for the fans. Tracklist after the bounce.
- "Rolling Down My Face"
- "That's What You Are"
- "Can We Go" (feat. Carl Thomas)
- "Need You Tonight"
- "Think Of You"
- "Why Don't We Fall In Love" (Richcraft Remix)
- "All I Need"
- "Hate 2 Love U"
- "Love's Off the Chain"
- "Too Much For Me" (with Nas)
- "Gotta Work"
- "Talkin' About"
- "1 Thing"

Enneir, da07 | May 30, 2009 3:29 PM | Permalink"ONE THING" is still the jam FOR LIFE, lol. "Ooooh WEEE feels so serious!" Thats the cut.
Niiiiice playlist, whoa now.
Christmas Jones | February 4, 2009 8:59 PM | PermalinkThis was a really nice upbeat mix...I never really was into Amerie before but I might download a song or 2
Tosh | January 29, 2009 12:06 PM | PermalinkOK, nOva, you have got to put this on iTunes or something. i've listened to it so many times it's not funny any more. and i just *know* it'll disappear from the site at some point... please? iTunes?
Lisa Seymour | January 27, 2009 9:23 PM | PermalinkVery nice mix. How do I subscribe through iTunes? I am getting error messages when I try subscribing from this site.
ntjt | January 18, 2009 8:23 AM | PermalinkThis is a hot mix, I love Amerie. She has her unique brand of soul/r&b, incomparable to Bey.
Bella | January 17, 2009 6:32 PM | PermalinkI was never a big Amerie fan but your mix is all I have been listening to for the past three days. I'm a HUGE fan now thanks to your mix. Perhaps a mix that features Darien is next?

Deb | January 17, 2009 5:24 PM | PermalinkThis is hot. Amerie is criminally slept on. All her albums are solid and she has swagga like no other. Hopefully people will appreciate the great artist that she is this year. Great mix dude..
Happy Belated A!!
P-Harmonic | January 17, 2009 4:08 PM | Permalinkthats hott!
good girl | January 16, 2009 8:19 PM | PermalinkThis is really a dope Mix nOva! I love that you used 'Love's Off The Chain' too!! Love that one! 'Got To Be There' I think is my favorite Amer joint of all time.
MuseSik | January 16, 2009 1:23 PM | PermalinkIt's good to see some folks go outside of the box on putting up music of a cool artist...Thanx for showing luv to an artist that's so talented and I ain't saying that cause I'm from DC, lol

jazzy | January 15, 2009 11:36 PM | PermalinkThanks, folks! I'm glad everyone is feeling it. Your words mean a lot.
nOvaMaticsee... THIS is why i love some f*ckin' soulbounce...
i don't love amerie. i'll admit. i love SOME of the songs; they're bangers, but i've always wished that someone else was singing them. sorry, a, but i did. i downloaded the last cd and didn't even listen to it. but because of this mix, i'm going revisit it.
i slept on amerie SO much, no matter HOW much i LOVE "touch".
i'm at work, 'bout to bust a hip cause i'm shakin' my ass so hard. the mix is killer. thanks, y'all.
and happy birthday amerie. you might just earn a serious fan :-)
marques | January 15, 2009 7:27 PM | PermalinkI love her i am so glad that someone else appreciates her music..i think people have been sleepin gon her for years and it's sad that she hasn't had the success int he states that she had overseas..i really hope that people will start to imbrass her more here and give her the props she deserves..i think she's great..i hope she continues to make good music
day | January 15, 2009 2:18 PM | PermalinkYo NoVamatic this blend was nuts!! I love Amerie and I'm tired of talented chics who make great songs/albums like her, Teedra Moses, Mya, Chrisette Michelle and a few other being overly compared by the consumer and overlooked by their record labels. It's crazy but I'm with you fam this was dope
Olskool Ice-Gre | January 15, 2009 2:10 PM | PermalinkI really love this chick. Thanks NOv
blknite | January 15, 2009 12:04 PM | PermalinkGreat mix. She always puts out great albums. Little to no skipping involved. Hope things work out for her at Def Jam.
adeosun | January 14, 2009 11:27 PM | PermalinkNeed you Tonight and I Just Died are my favorite Amerie joints, thank you for featuring at least one of these...another fave is Just Like Me. I'll agree with everyone that BILI was underrated, but I'd say all of her releases are. I am really diggin this mix....
Reecie | January 14, 2009 9:25 PM | PermalinkAmerie is great, BILT was tres underrated.-QH
QH | January 14, 2009 8:44 PM | PermalinkThanks for the b-day present NOVA!!!! you've turned me into an Amerie fan.
kiki | January 14, 2009 8:43 PM | PermalinkI'd buy her album, but never a concert ticket.
A. | January 14, 2009 7:18 PM | PermalinkYo, this joint is fire, slim. Amerie needs to come back this year in a major way.
Butta | January 14, 2009 6:38 PM | PermalinkAmerie made a lot of hiphop dudes listening to a little more R&B!!!
nicky lars' | January 14, 2009 6:35 PM | PermalinkBeyoncé stole a lot from her;and stupid moth@f*ck#r think Amerie try to be like "Sasha"...do people do the same mistake in U.S.A???(I from paris city...)
I LOVE YOU NOVER.
Just what I needed.
Liz | January 14, 2009 6:07 PM | Permalinki hear you.. i'm mad down with amerie. i'm done trying to tell people about her, too. if you sleepin, you sleepin.
and cosign on i just died! fav amerie track ever!!
siik | January 14, 2009 5:10 PM | PermalinkAhhhh thanks for giving me something to rock out to during my last dreadful hour of work! I'll never forget hearing "Why Don't We Fall in Love" during my very first visit to NYC. When I think of that trip, it's not complete without that song. And then there's "I Just Died?" C'mon now. Each artist she's ever been compared to was a complete waste of time and seemed to make no sense whatsoever in my opinion. I've always dug her approach, and would take her over Ashanti, Mya or Rhianna ANY day.
Miss Concrete Jungle | January 14, 2009 4:11 PM | PermalinkNeed You Tonight?! Nothing Like Loving You?! I Just Died?!
!!!!!!!
Come on now! I LOVE Amerie and All I Have is still in constant rotation. Thanks for this mix :)
Vivrant Thang | January 14, 2009 3:00 PM | PermalinkI love Amerie! Happy Birthday! Even she doesn't have a great voice, her material it's.
Rivera | January 14, 2009 2:55 PM | Permalinkoh that says 29..lol.. but still when did that happen...
The Secret Life of ME | January 14, 2009 2:44 PM | PermalinkI've loved Amerie since "All I Have" and I still feel like that's one of the best R&B albums I've ever heard. To me Amerie is Beyonce without the screaming and over-dramatics.
mr. archie | January 14, 2009 2:36 PM | PermalinkLove her! She has been sounderestimated and underpromoted over the years! But it is my understanding she gets love in the UK!. Anyway, wow the big 3-0 when did that happen? lol.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERIE! hugs
THe Secret Life of Me | January 14, 2009 2:36 PM | PermalinkI love Amerie! I can't wait to check this when I get home from work!!!
Reecie | January 14, 2009 2:32 PM | PermalinkI have a soft-spot in my heart for Amerie. She is good for what she does. I appreciate what she and Rich Harrison brought to the game. Happy Belated Birthday (not 'BDay')!
MuseSik | January 14, 2009 1:57 PM | PermalinkI like Amerie. I have her first album ....It's too bad that she gets over shadowed and overlooked. Her first album dropped before Bey's solo effort, so it's a shame she didn't catch on as much. I guess it depends on marketing and other stuff....who knows. She and Mya are two artists who may not be that strong voaclly, but still can contribute to the playing field who keep getting passed over unfortunately.
DLS77 | January 14, 2009 1:39 PM | PermalinkI love me some Amerie...u can compare her to Bey, BUT technically the swag jack was the other way around; amerie had the Rich sound on "why don't we fall in love" b 4 "crazy in love" or nebody else. And becuase i love it was slept on.
