Because I Love Amerie

Amerie drops it like its hot at Entertainment Weekly’s Annual Must-List Party at Gotham Hall on Thursday in New York City.

The half-Korean, half-African American singer has an album called Because I Love It coming out later this summer.

The release of Because I Love It made Blender magazine’s list of 25 Reasons to Love ‘07, ranking in at #19.

Amerie, 29, recently geeked out saying, “I am addicted to The Sims [video game]. I live out a virtual life online. I think it’s seriously cool, but I guess it’s kind of dorky. I’ve got [Destiny’s Child singer] Kelly Rowland into it too, and now we hook up in the game. Beyonce tried to join us, but she wasn’t into it. Also I love to read science magazines. It’s not very R+B I know.”
