New Amerie video to premiere on bet

(EUR) The video for Amerie’s new single “Why R U,” from her forthcoming Def Jam debut ‘In Love & War’, will premiere on Monday, June 8 on BET’s “106 & Park.”

Born Amerie Mi Marie Rogers, the singer will join hosts Terrence and Rocsi to present the Ray Kay-directed clip.

‘In Love & War’, due in August, features production from Teddy Riley, Sean Garrett, Eric Hudson, Jim Jonsin, Rico Love and The Buchanans, who crafted the first single. So far, no collaborations have been officially announced, but, there are rumours that she will duet with Trey Songz on a remake of Mint Condition’s 1991 hit “Breaking My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes).”

Amerie, 29, signed with Def Jam in spring of 2008 after leaving Sony Records, which released her previous two albums (2005’s ‘Touch’ and the Europe-only disc ‘Because I Love It’ in 2007). Her Columbia records debut ‘All I Have’ featured her breakout single “Why Don’t We Fall In Love.”

Her new single “Why R U” will be serviced to radio on June 15.
