Rap-Up.com || New Music: Marsha Ambrosius – ‘Hope She Cheats on You’

After lending her vocals to dozens of records and releasing her own albums with Floetry, Marsha Ambrosius goes at it alone on “Hope She Cheats on You (With a Basketball Player),” the first single off her forthcoming J Records debut Late Nights & Early Mornings, due October 26. Collaborations with Alicia Keys, Dre & Vidal, and Just Blaze are featured on the set.

The soulful songstress describes the mid-tempo record as “the reality of a bad break up.” She continues, “We wanna be decent human beings and say the right thing, you know, ‘I wish you well.’ But this is ‘Everything that could go wrong for him, I want it to because my ego is bruised and I’m acting out.’”

Great first single. Amazing body…she did loss some weight. Them vocals on the “Look at how it all turned out now,” is giving me chills. She is a beast and I am very happy for her. I am mos def copping the record. It may have been best for her to go solo. I think “Floetry” was holding her back. She sexy and I would have her babies…lol…but GOD didn’t create me to do so. Maybe she can have mine…wishful thinking right…Peace and Blessings

we ALL know what she is capable of.. but if she releases some slow ballad it won’t do anything for her album.. i like the song it shows commerical sound & she’s not straying away from her usual sound too much.

i dont like how they made her eyes blue.

j records? i thought she was with dr dre? will j support her? they only care about alicia.

i didnt expect this from marsha. i hope other songs are released bc i wont buy the cd off this song. yes this song is true, but i dont know something about it bothers me.

LOVE. great song with some complete honesty. The mixing is in your face and more raw as far as her voice and I like that because it come across so genuine. I’m glad she’s with J. I don’t think they just care about Alicia. I do think that Dr. Dre often cares about himself. Most of his artist partnerings on Aftermath don’t work or pan out and his top artists don’t even work with him anymore because he is so busy. I was hoping for some magic because I remember Michele from way back in the day and that album is CLASSIC and produced by him. Oh Well. Can’t wait to hear more and see her do promo on the TV circuit. This will be a big record.

Is it just me, or are “black”/r&b artists becoming whiter and whiter? Marsha is certainly talented, but are there not any darker talented girls getting record deals, too?

I love this song, when I heard it on the radio I knew it was her because of her distinct voice, She looks so good since she lost the weight I hope they give her a chance on J records i wish she could have signed to another label.

for some of yall saying this is too fake of a look for her.. plz understand the neo soul movement has faded and she has to eat. .if yall are true neo soul fans keep supporting artists in the movement so they dont have to change their styles to what’s popular today. …cant stand when ppl complain about music of the past and how its change, and then dont support them by buying their music, requesting their songs on radio, etc… love the new look and song marsha!!!!! do your thing!!!! love u!!!! i’m supportin you all the way because your a true singer!!!!

In response to N… the music business does not work like that. The simple solution is not “just buy their records and request their songs.” Maybe its not common knowledge, but fans aren’t the ones controlling who get’s played on the radio or played on any of Viacom’s popular “music” stations (BET, MTV, Vh1).

The record company is in control of pushing for certain singles by certain artists on the radio station. That’s why if you turn to any major hiphop and r&b station within an hour you’ll hear the same repeat of the same songs.

With that said, the single is okay. Nothing that I would actively listen to, and I do hope she has some better material coming out. I think she looks good, though I wonder how long it will be before she stops rocking the textured and curly hair and just goes to straight hair.

Realistically, she’ll be another talented artist who goes on he wayside because of artists like Rihanna and Beyonce. She’ll be another Chrisette Michele- very beautiful and but with too much talent to have “mass appeal.”
