Dondria - No More
Artist: Dondria
Producer: Jermaine Dupri
Album: Dondria vs. Phatfffat
Label: So So Def
Dondria‘s mad as hell and she’s not gonna take it No More! What precisely is she fed up with, you ask? Well, as you may have surmised from the fact that this is an R&B joint, it has to do with a fella. Here frequent production collaborator Jermaine Dupri mans the boards, serving up a bell/piano groove borrowed from Barry White’s It’s Only Love Doing Its Thing (also sampled in 50 Cent‘s 21 Questions) as the singer lets her soon-to-be ex know exactly why things ain’t gonna work out. Chief among her complaints is that her man just won’t listen: “I told you I was lonely, told you what I needed, but you don’t wanna heed it…” Guys, guys, guys… when will you ever learn? Oh, right, I’m one of them. Regardless, if this assertive single is working for you, you won’t have to wait much longer to hear more: the singer’s long-delayed debut full-length, Dondria vs. Phatfffat, is scheduled to hit store shelves and online retailers (finally!) on August 17, via So So Def.

I think Dondria has a terrific voice, and her work with Jermaine Dupri to this point has been real solid, but I cannot focus enough on their collaborative efforts here without thinking about 50's "21 Questions." Some samples just cannot be used again successfully and I think that might be the case here.

THis would be a great song, if it didn't remind me so much of 21 Questions.

Even though the production loop has been used before the song is still strong and Dondria can sing.

Burmy's comment is officially going down in DJBooth history. Well played sir.
Anyway, JD's one of the best hit producers of all time, and he hits again here. I actually thought the 21 Questions sample gives the track a little edge (would we all be talking about this song as much without it?), and Dondria's vocals were completely on point. Really digging this one. |

Dondria has a great voice, but the sample choice is an EPIC FAIL. I keep expecting 50 to drop a 16 any second.
