Rap-Up.com || New Music: Ameriie – ‘Outside Your Body’

Ameriie journeys around the world on “Outside Your Body,” the Euro-pop lead single from her fifth album Cymatika Vol. 1, due next year. The track, written by Ameriie and produced by Andre Harris, Kasey Phillips, and Nikholai Greene, takes listeners on an international tour, infusing the banger with blinding synths and an infectious melody.

“Tell me where you want to go/ Let me take you to London town and Paris, yeah/ Tokyo and Seoul,” sings the sexy singer on the chorus before adding a few lines in Korean.

“‘Outside Your Body’ is about the recognition that we are eternal beings, that these physical bodies are not who we are, and how we should remember and celebrate our unlimited potential. We have no limits,” Ameriie explained to Rap-Up.com.

Listen to the upbeat tune below.

Okay, I like it more than I did when I listened to the snippet. I like the hook, and the Korean. This song is still weak, with verses that sound very bubblegum. Meh. Come harder, Amerie. Link up with Rich Harrison, again, please.

OMG this is the BOMB. All the haters from yesterday are completely shown up for bitching over nothing! Funny how the song itself is about discontentment and envy and so all the people whining about the snippet should listen even closer!!! Maybe they’ll understand themselves better

This song is B O M B

The verses lead into the chorus so well

this is surprisingly hot. actually i’m not that surprised, because amerie has always been consistent in delivering great music, but for a dance track it’s dope. i can see where she’s trying to go with this cymatika album.

I listened to the entire song…and..Its kinda cute…but not gonna be a hit in the US. If she focuses all her efforts on European markets she could really be big…but sweetie…it’s not gonna happen for you over here. I don’t know why these girls are so PRESSED to flop in the US when they could be doing MAJOR things overseas.

Ok, HUGE AMERIIE fan have all her albums but when I heard the snippet I was like what’s going on? I can never doubt AMERIIE the song is HOT!!!!!!!!!!! Love the breathing in the beginning and the hard beat and the robot voice that comes on after the chorus. The chorus needs to grow on me a little because it loses that sick beat the song has at the beginning.
Love AMERIIE and the new album as usual songs very promising!!!!!!!!!
GO TEAM A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The video theme needs to be in a club.

I held my comments so I could hear the entire song and not just the snippet from the other day. But if THIS song is any indication of what the rest of her upcoming album is going to be like, she should retire now before she owes the record company her first born.

I’m convinced that Ameriie is writing most of these comments which praise this song, because it is a MESS!! She needs to get with Rich and pronto…she’s lost without him.

You have to admit that you’re not in the position to tell anyone to “Grow up” after the childish, catty comments you have posted.

@ Dave and AnnkA,

The both of u need to understand that people want A to do R&B because that what she does best! She’s been experimenting with different sounds on her last 2 albums, and it’s been pretty good. But what she’s doing now is going overboard, she’s stepping into a totally different zone that’s not gonna really help her out in the end. On the surface, it seems like she’s jumping on the bandwagon of the dance craze.

The real reason why she’s going down this route is because people have not appreciated the great music that she’s been puting out since 2002, and now she’s caving into the pressure.

[Reply]

What A should have done was expanded on the Rock sound that she gave with the song “Higher”. She even had a performance where she showed off her guitar skills.

Ok, I listen, and listen and read through the comments and I have to say one thing (no pun) before I give my opinion.
I’ve seen a couple of Ameriie should go back with Rich Harrison for production. Ok, why?? if she stays stuck in 05 then you haters would simply cry no growth. She has obviously out grown that sound. The world isn’t even on that page. I love the sound they had but I don’t want to hear that now!?!?
and Rich hasn’t done a hot record in about 3-4 yrs. So who knows where his production vibe is. So back to rating…. I LOVE IT!
I appreciate Ameriie having no fear. She seems to do what she feels so.. its not for everyone, if your not feeling just accept that it wasn’t made for you!

Yo I’m feeling it!!!!!!!!!! Ameriie if you’re looking at this blog you gotta do the video in a cave club in Ibiza Spain. They have these caves that are clubs and the scene is sick. The dancers are in cages, swinging from the ceiling like trapeze acrobats and they have this sick foam parties. Once the sun comes up everyone heads out on to the beach where the party moves too it’s so sweet and sick at the same time. It would be off the chain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES AMERIIE!! Give me that Rick James/ Tokyo/ Korean-Pop funk!

I love this jam, and I’m so happy Ameriie has found some sort of groove that is marketable. With that said, I hope she doesn’t forget to give me some soul on the album.

Saul, as for as making it in the US goes, I don’t know if that’s such a big deal? I think she’s got that international paper and really, money is money. If she delivers a fierce video to match the jam it’ll be received just fine in the US/Canada – trust.

@HHH7387 No, she’s gonna do what she wants to do Cleary, regardless if people like it or not. Who say’s she’s on a bandwagon? She started with an international sound on “Because I Love It” & She actually went out & got producers & everything for these sounds, the inspiration & all that. & if anything this sounds more electronic, house, dance music on a more organic level than what everyone else has put out. I’m gonna have my opinion & it’s gonna stay as is. I could care less about what others think of what I’ve said. I’m just saying if you expect her to keep doing R&B you are going be seriously disappointed.

Well I’m a HUGE Amerie fan, and I like that she has the balls to do something different even if people don’t like it or get it even? The whole feel for this Cymatika Vol. 1 album is house, trance a lil euro… However this is just a snippet of what’s to come. I would love it if people looked deeper and move along in their minds to see that in all actuality amerie has played it safe for a while and now is ready to change it up. I love the sound to this song, it is a sample of an ol’ skool song; that’s hot!
