We were delighted to find the latest track from Amerie, whose mix tape from last year still gets a lot of airplay around the flophouse. The brassed-out “Gotta Work” is apparently going to be on Because I Love It, Amerie’s forthcoming album that has a screwy release-date schedule. Check it: “April 28th (Australia), April 30th (UK) and May 16th (Japan) and in USA most likely for the summer“? (Emphasis ours.) Unless she releases another mixtape soon, we can already feel the “Please Release Me” coming on.
