Welcome to the newest feature on jacobelyacharjournalist.com. New Music Tuesday will review the hottest new singles or albums from today’s Top 40 artists, music legends and rising stars.
Climax-Usher
“Climax” is the first single that has been released from Usher’s seventh studio album, which will drop later this year. This single contains the singer’s smooth falsetto and great lyrics from the R&B superstar and his production team of Ariel Rechtshaid, Redd Stylez and Diplo.

Good Girl-Carrie Underwood
The American Idol alum is back and like Usher, she dropped her latest single for her fourth studio album this week. “Good Girl” has shades of “Cowboy Casanova” but be reassured Carrie fans, it is a new song that has the potential of dominating the charts for the next couple of months.

3 Words-Elliot Yamin
While we are on the subject on American Idol, Season Five alum Elliot Yamin dropped his “3 Words” single today. This song made its’ debut in Elliot’s sixth studio album Gather ‘Round that was exclusively released in Japan last year. It is great to see Elliot back in action, he still has an incredible voice and this song could definitely put him back in the charts.

Easy-Lionel Richie & Willie Nelson
Lionel Richie will be releasing a new 13-song CD that will feature duets with country artists. “Easy,” the second single out of Lionel’s new CD features a duet between the R&B legend and country icon Willie Nelson. This is an excellent duet and fantastic cover because Lionel and Willie’s voices blend well together and this single is a terrific treat for both artists’ fans and music lovers alike.
