London - B 4 U Go
Artist: London
Producer: Ric & Prez
Album: Man of My Word
Label: KPM/Universal Motown
For most of us, each weekday morning means a repeat of the same old routine: shower, shave, dress, eat some breakfast, and so on. R&B singer London, on the other hand, prefers to start his day off with a bang—even if it means his girl will be a few minutes late for work. On new potential single B 4 U Go, the ATL native wakes to find his lady preparing to head out the door; hot under the pajama collar from a night of steamy dreams, he begs her to come back to bed and turn his fantasies to reality. Producers Ric & Prez back London’s soulful entreaties with an instrumental that begins as a sparse, reverb-drenched mix of booming bass and fingersnaps, but builds and shifts dramatically over the record’s three-and a half-minute running time (and the momentary reversed-cymbal breakdown midway through is just plain cool). With its unique sound and strong concept, B 4 U Go should raise anticipation for London’s forthcoming LP, Man of My Word (which has yet to receive a solid release date). Not to mention, guys looking to spice up their early-AM hours need only give this record a spin—she’s sure to take the hint.

This gets a 1.5 from me, not quite Garbage. The production in the beginning, wit just the bassline and snaps, was a little thin and uninteresting for me. When the synths came in it became even more unlistenable for me. His vocals are nothin more than average, and the melody isn't strong enough to make this a hit.

I wasn't feeling the production at the beginning either, but I actually got into it once the synths kicked in. London's vocals were decent, but nowhere close to some of the high-profile R&B artists. Overall, it's a rotation track.

The production sounds unoriginal and I dont really think London is a good artist. His vocals seem need some improvement this song will get old after a while. OK

I'm really feeling the beat change... but London's vocals just don't seem strong & captivating for me to give this anything higher than
a 3 stars ... |

Its good, London is a good R&B artist.....he just needs to get on the right beats. The concept is good, original, the melody is good, he sings well....its just that the beat is so generic sounding. The chorus was good but that finger snapping and bass thing....sounds like soulja boy could have made it on fl studio! However, the song isnt that bad, because London manages to hold it down, even with this misstep

Like others have said, there isn't much creativity here, but people still seem to dig it for the most part. I'm the same, this is a decent track.
Production during the verses is hot, but the vocals themselves aren't too hot. THEN, the opposite happens during the chorus, with hot vocals and decent production. Damn, if only they could combine the two. Ha. |

London has some real nice vocals. The production changes up nicely here. I am not sure - as CB stated above - they go well together. This could do some damage in the clubs, but it will be hard to break at radio. Let's see what happens...

I love that beat!!! I don't know why it's getting little props. And London really can sing. I'm going to call this Banger.

Vocallt he's nothing special...not necesarily enough talent here...there are some major beast in the R&B game right now and he couldn't hardly compete. The production during his verses remind of some music that could be on a video game...if you've heard of Vexx this music would fit perfectly with it...topic is def generic and always over used which is not always a bad thing...but in this case it is

I kinda like the music and the beat, I think they got energy, but I didn't like how he sang. He lacks passion and energy. The melody didn't catch me! I guess this could be thrown in rotation, but it could be better
