"It wasn't until R&B darling Amerie took the stage that some actual talent reared its head, as the rickety funk of her hit "1 Thing" forced the crowd to their feet for the first time in the evening."

Tracks on Touch are produced by Rich Harrison ("1 Thing," "Right Now" Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce's "Crazy In Love"), Lil' Jon, and "Touch" is written by platinum songwriter Sean Garrett (Usher's "Yeah," "Lose My Breath," "Girl," "Soldier" for Destiny Child and other top hits).

Amerie appeared as "Mia Thompson" in the blockbuster 2004 comedy, "First Daughter," starring Katie Holmes and Michael Keaton and directed by Forest Whitaker. "First Daughter" is now available on DVD.

This event is brought to you by Feenix Entertainment, James Lassiter of Overbrook Entertainment, Lori Leslie of Southern Girl Inc. and sponsored by Trace Magazine, A&R.biz, and Rocawear with a Live Broadcast by XM Radio.
