AMERIE’s DEF JAM DEBUT ALBUM IN LOVE & WAR SET TO ARRIVE IN AUGUST

“WHY R U” GOES TO RADIO JUNE 15th AS FIRST SINGLE – VIDEO DIRECTED BY RAY KAY PREMIERES JUNE 8th ON BET

New album producers include The Buchanans (“Why R U”), Teddy Riley, Sean Garrett & Eric Hudson, Jim Johnson & Rico Love, Brian Cox and others.

(New York, NY) Multiple award winning, RIAA platinum singer and songwriter Amerie has completed her premiere album for Def Jam Recordings (her fourth career album), entitled IN LOVE & WAR, scheduled to arrive in the physical and digital marketplace in August.

Anticipation for Amerie’s new album reached a fever pitch when “Why R U” debuted May 11th on her MySpace website, http://www.myspace.com/ameriemimarie. New York City Hot 97 radio dj Funk Master Flex caught the buzz when he played “Why R U” for 15 minutes straight. The track officially goes to all radio formats on June 15th as the first single from IN LOVE & WAR. The video for “Why R U,” which premieres June 8th on BET, was directed by Ray Kay (whose credits include fellow Def Jam artist The-Dream’s “Shawty Is a 10” featuring Fabolous, Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face,” and more).

Chingy feat. Amerie: "Fly Like Me"

Chingy and Amerie performed "Fly Like Me" on 106&Park a few days ago. I love Amerie's voice, she's really talented! Hopefully, we'll hear more from her this year.

Amerie - "Take Control"

I haven't posted anything about Amerie for a long time, because there hasn't been any news. On her official site Amerie.net, it still says that her new album will be coming soon. So in the meantime, since I haven't had the chance to post this video yet, here's "Take control".

I really like this video, Amerie, has an amazing voice and hopefully she'll release her new album soon.

"Gotta Work" is Amerie's second single of her new album.

Scott Franklin - who also directed the video for her last single 'Take Control' directed the video.

The choreography is great, and overall it's a fun catchy song.
