This snippet was previewed on her SoundCloud account in 2012/2013 to then being removed, it was one of three total snippets of songs that weve never heard, including āfire starterā. To know more, ive made a reddit post with all the info on the lost snippets (www.reddit.com/r/lostmedia/s/uMRE9i3wKO):
ā[fully lost] deleted preview snippets of unreleased by music by Ameriie from Soundcloud
Hi, I am a huge fan of the singerĀ **Amerie**Ā (which in 2011 changed name to Ameriie and then re-changed back to Amerie in 2018, lol), and Iām here to talk about **three snippets of unreleased songs she had put on Soundcloud to promote the upcoming album** which were unfortunately deleted, leaving them currently fully lost to time.
[promo picture of Ameriie in the era i'll discuss in the post.](filepicker-images.genius.com/Bg1eGCKnQcKipEC96l5X_ā¦)
# History lesson and info about the album the snippets were part of:
In 2011, Amerie was working on herĀ 5th album that was supposed to be titled **āCymatika, Vol. 1ā.**Ā Prior to the album, ā[Outside Your Body](https://youtu.be/QRrTf8XU60M?si=CfbBO... and ā[Whoās Gonna Love You](https://youtu.be/-5X-bguswVs?si=MKNrE... were released as buzz singles in 2010, and then āFirestarter (Private Dancer)ā was announced to be the albumās lead single, to be released in late 2011 but never put out. The whole album was said by her to be released in spring 2012.
In 2013, Ameriie revealed that she was still working on the Cymatika album as well as an EP, titled āThe Preludeā: according to her, the EP was going to feature a more Hip Hop/R&B sound (sound she was known for), while the album was said to have a very different sound, consisting of a mixture of trance, house, hip hop drums and synths that not even Ameriie could describe as one genre. In fewer words, the album, as she said, had a sound but not a specific genre.
Songs like āMustangā were confirmed to be part of the Cymatika album, while āSing About Itā was said by her to probably be part of āThe Preludeā.
Shortly after, it was revealed that Ameriie was also working on a follow up to her 2007 album Because I Love, which also never came out.
In the end, some of the songs recorded for the projects were released as stand-alone singles (like āWhat I Wantā in 2014) and āMustangā) or featured on the āDriveā EP released in 2016.
After the Drive EP, she released āRedrumā in 2017 and two EPs in 2018. The Cymatika album, Prelude EP and Because I Love It follow up were never mentioned since.
Some songs recorded at the time were released on an EP from 2016 titled "Drive".
# Now, let's jump to the lost media part:
The main focus of this post are three tracks, which were announced in interviews and released in snippet form on Soundcloud at the time and then deleted. I found the links on a forum and added them here in case they can help find the snippets. They Are:
* [Firestarter](soundcloud.com/thr1/ameriie-firestarter-private)Ā (ā¦ known as āFirestarter (Private Dancer))ā: this song was said by her to be the lead single off the album. There also was a videoĀ [a video of what i think could be a live performance (unavailable unfortunately)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LassI...)Ā where a snippet of āFirestarterā is in the beginning, according toĀ [a comment in this forum](www.ukmix.org/forum/music/the-vault/2000s/80884-amā¦.
* [Sodom & G](soundcloud.com/thr1/ameriie-sodom-g)Ā : a song where she talks about a relationship by talking of the cities of Sodom and Gomorra, very interesting concept to say the least.
* [Run For Cover](soundcloud.com/thr1/ameriie-run-for-cover)
These SoundCloud links were posted on aĀ [french forum page](www.chartsinfrance.net/communaute/index.php?/topicā¦ people reacted to the songs, but the snippets arenāt available neither there or anywhere else:
The songs are fully lost from what it seems. We could confirm that these snippets were available and real because somebody in 2023 mentioned themĀ [Here](atrl.net/forums/topic/462085-does-anybody-rememberā¦)
I'm posting this here hoping somebody knew her at the time and downloaded them, or maybe could access some sort of archive where these are preserved. or, who knows, find some random upload of the songs on youtube which went unnoticed. i have searched high and low and couldn't find anything.
**EDIT: i added the info i also added to the** [**album's genius page**](genius.com/albums/Amerie/Cymatika-vol-1-shelved) **to make the post fuller of content and info that could maybe be helpful.**ā

If there is one thing I hate it is channels posting god-awful AI made acapellas and instrumentals and posting them with āofficialā or āHQā in the title, they just sound horrible, especially when the official acapella and instrumentals already exist.

SO, I have been very conflicted about this for months at this point. i rarely post full albums because of all the effort and time they need to be uploaded. I don't want to post entire albums in single videos either because that's not really handy for people who want to download the songs and listen to them (i know the pain of downloading an hour worth of music, cutting up to where each starts and finishes and then naming each one....), but posting single videos is SO time consuming. I have found some of the albums that were requested, i just can't find the time to upload them in full.
SO HERE COMES THE QUESTION.
What would you prefer?

i'm aware of the google form you send song requests in, i am just very full of things to put here, and it takes a while to upload everything. I don't want to upload albums in single videos, i want to separate every song, and it's so time-consuming š
