Amerie Returns, With A Lot Of Questions
The title of Amerie’s first album on Def Jam has been changed from Breakups To Makeups to In Love And War, and the first single is the pleading ballad “Why R U,” on which Amerie struggles through her feelings for a dude who’s not all that nice, when all is said and done. To these ears, it sounds like a slightly reworked take on her mixtape-only ballad “Get Gone,” which didn’t appear on Amerie’s ill-fated final album for Columbia, Because I Love It; it’s got a smooth early-’90s R & B feel, and it’s certainly made me curious about what the rest of the album–which is being produced by LA Reid, in part–will sound like.
