If you see Amerie’s name spelled with two I’s from now on, that’s not a typo. The “1 Thing” singer has officially changed the spelling of her name. The Grammy-nominated artist, who now goes by Ameriie, added an I to her name to reflect positive energy. She announced the change to Rap-Up.com last month, but didn’t go public with it until her new Twitter page (@ItsAmeriie) was set up.
Amerie and Electrik Red’s Binkie interview each other about their new albums at Rap-Up’s Pre-BET Awards Lounge 2010.
Here are 3 brand new records off Tapemasters Inc “The Future of R&B Vol. 33″ Mixtape. This latest edition is hosted by the princess of So So Def, Dondria. The first joint is a hot duet by Keri Hilson & Timbaland titled, “Hold Your Breath”. This is actually the record they performed at a show in NYC a few months back. I’m not sure if it is a left over from Tim’s latest album, or if it is something in the works for Keri’s new one. I kind of hope so, because it’s dope. The second joint is by Trey Songz and maybe Amerie. It is titled, “Let’s Chill” and it is a remake of the classic Guy song. I say maybe Amerie because part of it sounds like her and part of it doesn’t. The 3rd record is the brand new remix to Rich Girl’s record “Swagga Right” now featuring Fabolous and Rick Ross. You can’t go wrong with those features. Check them out and stay tuned!!

As promised earlier today Amerie drops her brand new record, “Who’s Gonna Love Me,” produced by The Inkredibles. I must say I’m feelin it at first listen. I felt her last album was decent and should have done much better at retail. This could be a good move going forward though. I think this could get some play. It is slated to be the first single off a new album titled, Cymatica Vol. 1 Cymatics. Shout to YK2 and Rap-Up. Check it out, what do you think?

Amerie has experienced a lot of ups and downs in her career. With the lack of promotion on her latest album In Love & War, the set did not perform at retail. But, these setbacks are not holding her down. Through her Twitter, Amerie announced she will be releasing a brand new song titled, “Who’s Gonna Love You” tonight at Midnight. Will this be a buzz track for a new album? What do you think? Stay tuned!
