Megan Rochelle f/ Fabolous - The One You Need

[Grenade]

This is a new girl signed to Def Jam. This is her first single, and it was produced by Darkchild. FMQB has it listed as going for adds 4/17. It's ok. I don't really like her voice.

She can't sing for sh*t and the beat is really bland. I can see what Rodney's new style is becoming. It sounds like "Enough Cryin'".

LOL I Agree

[In_Love_N_War]

Wait. Shamari (from the group Blaque) recorded this before her and IMO she did a better job than her.

eh she looks like Teairra but i love the hook

[DAMAGED]

I love the beat because it reminds me of "Enough Cryin'" lol. This girl can't sing.

[ffej]

I think this is hot. She looks like she might be tearria mari 06.

[eclectic]

Yea this is sorta hot...I keep hearing it in mix shows on the radio..."Why she gotta act so hot sadiddy!"

[francky]

The b*tch should just shut up.
The song itself is okay, but i hope that Darkchild has something different to offer. I'm not a huge fan of this type of sound, it gets boring very quickly.

[tozion]

This is going to be big. It's blowing up.

Pitchfork gave it 2.5/5 stars.

"Three years is a long time," she begins Megan Rochelle, Philly's cut-rate answer to Amerie. Whomever she's addressing, they share a history and she's convinced the embers still glow. Her voice is uniquely matched to this mix of emotions-- anguished sangfroid. "I can be the one you need," Rochelle sings. "Whatever pleases you, I'll do it times two." It'd be tempting to reluctantly root for her...until we find out Fabolous is the addressee. His robotic, lackluster verses (okay, he's "in her legs more than Thighmaster") offer another scrap of deflating women-are-objects hot air that's regrettably all the rage in today's rapper-chanteuse duets.
