QuoteDondria Nicole is back with not one but two brand new singles!
The R&B songstress, who was first discovered and signed off YouTube by Jermaine Dupri, hasn?t released much since 2014?s ?Ain?t No Way,? but that all changes today with her duel single release of ?Luh Ya? and ?2 Good.? Both records were produced by The Pen House, and are our first taste of her upcoming EP The Day of the Don.
On the uptempo, feel-good ?Luh Ya,? which features rapper Ace B, the singer/songwriter celebrates a love that is bringing her everything that she?s ever dreamed of and more. ?Baby I?ve never been the type to get caught up on material things / The only thing I ever needed was you / You give the benefits, considerate, when I need to talk you listen,? she sings.
?2 Good? shows another side of the singer?s relationships as she lets an ex know that she is fully confident in herself and being without him, because she was out of his league. ?Though I?m not perfect I?m worth much more than you / You took all that I gave and left nothing to lose / Sacrifices are made, and made it clear you wouldn?t change / Guess I?ll take the blame for believing you,? she sings.
Take a listen to both singles below, and you can pick them up on iTunes now.

The 1st mess
[soundcloud]https://soundcloud.com/dondria/2-good[/soundcloud]
The twists and turns this song makes are.......interesting. i actually kinda like this. Listen to atleast the first minute and a half to hear all the elements of the song. The beat switch up was unexpected af :dead:
[soundcloud]https://soundcloud.com/dondria/luh-ya-ft-ace-b[/soundcloud]
Both of these are actually pretty fckn solid and she's SINGING!
she sounds like a low-cost monica since the begginning..
She actually sings better than monica imhfo
I fucking love this girl. Both songs are just okay. She needs that undeniable hit and she'll take off because it's all there. She needs an audience though.
Im kinda loving this 2 good song :dead:
She's cool
Alyxx>>
That Alyxx girl can't sing
I won't lie, I was ready to throw shade but 2 Good is really nice.
Kinda gives me Rih.
Yeah and Don actually has an alber in stores. Anyway, the 2 Good cover slays. Is she still signed to So So Def?
Luv Ya sounds like that Disco mess Faith does :dead:
wait beat change...
Yea, the beat change had me like OH!
:omgwatshappening: Before i clicked play i expected the most basic K-Michelle-esque mess. But im pleasantly surprised. I like the 2good song. Its nice.
Vonc, these are cute.
she can sing but her voice bothers me.
These covers are very off putting and tacky

Now that you said it, it does give me OLD Beyonce, with that heavy vibrato.
2 good is dope!!
She's singing on the bridge of this disco mess fffff
If she got this image together she could possibly stick
She always looks so flea market and over done
Too many gay men in her corner

I think that's part of her issue, she doesn't really have an identity. The verses give Jhene, her voice gives Rih and Bey, etc. Good luck with it though, I loved You're The One.

She should do the urban girl next door Monica route
Not too ghetto but ghetto enough... Relatable .. And be consistent..
She clearly has the talent
And she needs to cut all of these gay men out of her corner..
Way too much hair..make up.. And she works out a lot..
So it's easy for her to give a trans mess...
She needs some women on her team... Women that are gonna be honest!
This lane is open right now..
2 good is a really nice song
Like why is she dressed like this?

Why is she giving RHOA in that photo? :kii:
Love these songs, especially 2 good. The problem is that she doesn't have any sense of style (could be fixed with a non- tacky stylist) and that she has no star quality/ stage presence whatsoever. Can't wait for the EP!
She's cool.
she looks tacky as fuck. But she can sing.
And both songs are BAD

This is what people mean when they say that labels no longer put the work in to develop the young artists. She still hasn't really grown much and I can't really put the blame on her, entirely
No identity IMO
I could actually see her in a group

Her most enjoyable videos were her singing with her best friend. She has so much personality and spunk, but it really comes out around other artists
I'd love her in a group

Maybe (Dondria can really blow) but Keri's tone wins out for me
Especially on record. it's really not close
She def sings better than monica
Dondria sings better than Monica today
No she doesn't
not after what I heard Monica do at the whitehouse recently. I also prefer Monica's tone when she's not belting and holding those notes
I don't feel comfortable criticizing Dondria because she's doing her thing, but it's just not my taste i guess

Hopefully she's done that while she's been away, but yea her tone on that alone >>
She understands how to utilize it for the most part and does some cool technical things. The warmth, breathy thing she does on that song slays to me

Not greater than or equal to :dead:
Definitely agree with the last part tho
Seems like she's growing vocally
Awesome.
Her music is still just OKAY IMO and she has NO identity
Like; ZERO.
She always looks like she and her gay friends went rummaging through her mothers closets for a wardrobe, makeup and hair.
It's tragic to see TBH.
Keri>>>
For that reason and because her tone>>
And she's not seeing Monica on any day.
Keyshia and K Michelle need to watch their wigs tho.
Dondria can definitely slay when she gets it together. Seems like she's improving
I think Sevyn is trans
Well maybe that rummaging look IS her look, just cause u don't like it doesn't mean it aint a look :dead:
Her singing better than keri (on record) is debatable. Her singing better than monica is LAW :dead:

Lol
That's not an identity when your style is completely different Everytime you Come out onto the scene
I'm not saying stick to one look but the entire vibe is different each time.
Are you playing dress up and just doing covers or are you gonna be an ARTIST?
I mean...
She can sing though and I definitely see her slaying in a group
I could see her replacing Shyann TBH; no shade
And anyone with ears and knows anything about the GOOD in music knows she ain't seeing Queen; but most definitely ASPIRES and looks up to Monica
https://instagram.com/p/BFVfE80owFl/
Now she may do things differently than Mo THAT YOU may like More.
But Monica is on a completely different level than this girl; on every way
Everytime she comes out? She's had one album :dead:
& honestly u discussing this is laughable because that was literally the case with laundry. And nothing about monica is notable when it comes to any of that shit either. The only thing that's concrete & irrefutable is that she sings better than monica :kii:
Her voice is nice but her music is blah and she has no identity whatsoever.

This whole entire vocal>>>
She lacks conviction
It's something dondrip doesn't have because she hasn't found herself. She doesn't know what she's singing about :plzstop:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqe93Bct7UU
That girl can BLOW tho don't get me wrong!
And Vonc I agree.
Girls like Kristal and Alyxx are still looking for themselves as well.
They lack a true identity.
They all slay tho. All 3.
Tho I prefer Kristal and Alyxx at the moment.
But don't get me wrong I use to LIVE for her when she first dropped.
She just hasn't shown any signs of growth or evolving sinse then though, so she kinda lost me

Are u really trying to use this video of her as a young girl singing on youtube VS this girl who's been in the industry for 20 years? Monica has been making the same song for 20 yrs now, i hope she's perfected it some by now :dead:
Im sorry but Monica doesn't do anything for me vocally or musically. Dondria may have things she needs to work on but her voice is good and better than goons tbfh

But monica has shown lil to no growth in over 20 yrs tho :dead:
That's fine we can have our preferences. Dondria is a better singer to me hands down. If she ever got the music and look together, she'd really be working with something
Okay, you like Dondria more. Got it.
Dondria is never doing the Whitney tribute @ BET
Or giving the angelic regalness that Mo gave @ BGR
She lacks certain qualities that a solo artist has because they stand on their own and shine. It's because they know themselves; well the ones with the 20'year career as you said.
Dondria doesn't have that...not yet. So she can find it in a group now.
Or keep grinding and soul searching. She's still giving me lost.
Love her voice tho!

Blah blah blah monica doesn't have any of these great qualities as far as im concerned so that's neither here nor there. All I'm discussing is voice, skill, ability, etc. Monica pales in comparison to most singers, including dondria :kii:

And yet there's no vocal she has that touches the ones I either mentioned or posted.
Dondria can pull off the Love All Over Me's and You Shoulda Knowns
But she is NOT doing Everything to Me, Down 4 Whatever or Anchor yet.
She just isn't.
She's great though. And if you prefer her over Mon I could see why and cannot fault or judge you for that. But what I'm speaking on are the facts lol
Young makes me hate Monica
Keri is a better songwriter than singer. That's her strength. She's an ok singer but always been hit or miss.
I don't know much about Dondria but vocally live she's ok. Her music is blah.
Monica...her technique doesn't change. She was vocally better back in the day than now.
Dondria has done better :dead:
Monica CAN'T sing lions, tigers, and bears. Monica couldn't even ATTEMPT B&P, she doesn't have the skill, fluidity in her runs, etc. Those monica songs aint shit to sing :dead:

She's done songs like a For You I Will, What My Heart Says and Street Symphony, of course she can do LT&B :uhh:
And Ghan pulled B&P off in her own iconic way but ETM is in the same vain as that song vocally. Very much vocals to the front; where control, range and conviction are needed to make the vocal shine. Mo can do a begging and pleading in her own way and it would slay...DOWN!
Dondria put a nice lil twist on the Way Ghan did it.
There's a difference lol
monica would sound a fool singing lions, young STOP
Dondria's voice is just cuter and brighter. It all comes down to preference.
She has technique. She's also younger than Monica and is still growing.
Monica is more experienced and her voice is weightier.
I couldnt even hear monica "putting a twist" on B&P. Im sorry but she's in the same vein vocally as a K.Michelle, Keyshia Cole, etc. Those are her counterparts. She has the best voice of the 3 but that's definitely the company she's in. She's no great singer to me, sorry

Lately weve been kinda >>>><<<<
She wouldn't sing it like Jazmine :uhh:
Do you not get that Monic sis her own artist? She's not gonna sing it LIKE Jazmine because Jazmine took it to where only Jazmine could.
You give that song to Monic and she would body it. In HER way.
Stop trying to imagine her doing what Jaz did to the song because she's not Jazmine. She's Monica.
That's why I'm saying there's a difference. Dondria could definitely sing it probably closer to the way Jazmine did over Monica. Moreso because of vocal similarities.
But what Dondria needs to do is find HERSELF and the way she would approach a song would be totally different.
Hopefully she's starting to find herself and developing her own look and sound.

Not at all.
Listen to the beats and melodies and what kinda of vocal is required to nail them.
Love that she's playing in her softer voice again
A lot of people miss that side she put away for a while

Monica aint singing no jazmine song :kii:
And if she is its gonna be a kids bop parody sorta thing. Really wish u would stop trying to make this girl a vocalist :plzstop:
Her vibrato is GROSS
Back in the day Monica's voice had agility, and she was actually able to do riffs and runs, nowadays it is just heavy and out of key most of the time, and loud grunts. I am not sure what happened to be honest. She turned from low budget bby Kelly Price to low budget bby J-Hud.

Now you're just talking.
Monica has pretty much sung more Jazmine penned songs than any other singer combined.
You sound crazy :dead:
Even a slew of unreleased Jazmine songs that she took and made her own.
Dondria could pull off the range in this song, but NOT the conviction
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvmIAiEZwiQ
Yeah. You can tell just by listening to "Cry." Monica couldn't do half of the things Jaz did with the same level of execution

Yea and if jazzy ACTUALLY attempted to sing em, she'd blow her out of the water. Monica aint singing NOTHING on a jazmine album. Ya know, an ACTUAL jazmine song. Not a song she wrote to give to the girl
She's not doing it in the way Jaz did. I agree. And she shouldn't. There's space for everyone.
But she could sing those songs in her way. She has her own unique way of singing.
Like Clive said, she's one of the few singers than can pretty much sing anything.
It may not be your cup of tea and that's fine.
But Dondria is still in the "cover artist" level to me.
Like she's still looking for herself.
Can't have a true space in the game trying to be someone else
Iono why im even having this convo. I remember young saying monica sang better than Tamia :dead:
Ur clearly deluded, boy gone
look, monica fuckin sucks ok

That's not an identity when your style is completely different Everytime you Come out onto the scene
I'm not saying stick to one look but the entire vibe is different each time.
Are you playing dress up and just doing covers or are you gonna be an ARTIST?
I mean...
She can sing though and I definitely see her slaying in a group
I could see her replacing Shyann TBH; no shade
i agree wholeheartedly, with every word
