Review #2,050: Promo Only "Dance Radio April 2024"

Reviewed on 3.10.2024 & 3.11.2024 (Review #2,050)
 
 
Been through a lil’ bit of aggressiveness, tha past few nights… Now, tyme for a nice focus on Promo Only Dance Radio April 2024! Let’s keep tha energy & good tymes comin’, for tha future…! Start Tyme: 3.10.2024 @ 4:02 PM | End Tyme: 3.11.2024 @ 3:45 PM
 
 
Disclaimer: I type how I wanna type (frequent use of “tha” instead of “the,” “iz” instead of “is,” “a”-ending words instead of “er,” and a few others). I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! As long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it, I like it how I wanna like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. Sometymes, I may not rate a song too high on its first listen, but in tha future, I could be playin’ it more than a higher-rated song…
 
© 2024 Review (Review #2,050) reviewed on 3.10.2024 & 3.11.2024 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
 
 
01. A7S with Alok “Monster”
Label: Controversia
Looks like an exciting way to kick off a brand-new edition…! Lookin’ forward to hearin’ what kinda collab we have, here…! >>> Sounds like an exciting start & how A7S’ voice iz on a deeper start, here… Definitely luvin’ tha power Alok be havin’, these dayz… From tha “Jungle” to last Dance Radio’s top-rated song of mine, here we are with even more!! Definitely likin’ tha collab on tha chorus; definitely nice, between tha two of their magical powers! Awesome lil’ drop, too!! Alok definitely knows where tha “Monster” power’s at! My Rating: 4.7
 
 
02. Cheat Codes x Two Friends “The Way It Is”
Label: Cheat Codes
Got to catch a lil’ bit of this, somewhere… Sounds like a cheesy-type of remake, but more on a euphoric-type of way with tha music. Liking how Trevor at least changed tha words on tha 1st verse, to kick this off… Tha rest of this just progresses on through, throughout this year of 2024… My Current Rating: 3.7
 
 
03. Disco Lines, J. Worra & Anabel Englund “Cutting Loose”
Label: Ultra
This one been out fa a lil’ minute & even Music Choice Dance has tha title wrong as “Cutting Lose”, smh/lol. With how I feel about this one, I think it’s another nice lil’ collab to just progress on through. Alwayz glad to see Anabel get out there, tyme & tyme again…! Music decent, from tha two acts backin’ up Anabel, here… My Current Rating: 4.1
 
 
04. Z3LLA “Why Should I?”
Label: LMG/Varick St.
Awesome to see these takin’ over, thanx to tha ever-growin’ exposure of their latest track. Z3LLA, tha two chicks, have been appearin’ on two tracks on BPM, last year. Now, here’s their chance to shine, with their throwback-sampling chorus & awesome dance vibes! Gotta feel tha way to eliminate tha loneliness & experience all tha traveling tymes, I’ve been recently havin’…! I continue to wish them tha best of luck, in tha future. Luv how they’re followin’ me on tha Gram! My Current Rating: 4.4
 
 
05. ACRAZE, Pickle & NKY “Runny Nose”
Label: Thrive/Capitol
Can’t wait to hear this collab, in its entirety! Heard a lil’ bit of it with it premiering around BPM’s shows…! >>> Awesome way to start with tha Pickle vibes, collabbin’ wit ACRAZE & NKY for this epic-soundin’ anthem…! Its repetitiveness iz nice to progress, with this progressin’-type of edition, once again; nothin’ else to say…! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
06. GT_Ofice x Matthew Topper feat. Sarah De Warren “No Tears”
Label: Caine
If this can go in tha best way I expect it to go in, I’ll really appreciate it & may make it my favorite song of GT’s? Looks like one of his more anticipating collabz, this tyme…! >>> Sounds like an awesome-type of start, here! Definitely feelin’ tha strength GT x MT bring for Sarah D, lol… Definitely feelin’ tha energy they’re bringin’ to tha chorus, includin’ tha drop; definitely nice! Sounds like a more hyped-up version of “Invite Only”, GT’s Dance Radio appearance a year ago, at this tyme. I’m really appreciatin’ tha vibes on tha 2nd verse, too; gotta luv that pre-chorus! Also, tha buildin’-up chorus! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
07. BONNIE X CLYDE “Weight Of The World”
Label: Lowly.
Saw this one get out there, recently… What will this track bring, for 2024? >>> Seems like a nice lil’ regular-soundin’ dance song, here… Likin’ tha chorus with tha “weight” part. Tha rest of this just progresses on through, in a decent/good way. My Rating: 3.8
 
 
08. Madison Beer “Make You Mine”
Label: Sing It Loud/Epic
Been seein’ this one out there, as well… She pops up, here & there, though I’m alwayz likin’ what she contributes to tha dance world. Likin’ how this one’s more on a true dance tip, for her just bein’ tha artist on tha track! Likin’ how tha intro has that repetitive-type of editing, as well as how she sounds on this track. Definitely nice with what she brings to tha table with this “rush” of a chorus…! Tha drop’s definitely nice & awesome to hear, too…! Thumbs up fa that one! My Current Rating: 4.3
 
 
09. Electric Polar Bears x Bertie Scott “Animals”
Label: Relentless Beats
Hope this’ll be a nice lil’ one to hear, for my 1st tyme listenin’…! >>> Sounds like a decent lil’ collab; more positive than a negative perspective I have, on my 1st listen… Sounds cool with tha music. I’ll have to get used to these vocals & this vibe for its extended props from me… My Rating: 3.6
 
 
10. John Summit & Hayla “Shiver”
Label: Darkroom
As they collab, once again… This one ain’t bad; likin’ how it’s on an anthem, traveling-type tip as how “Where You Are” was. Nothin’ much to say about this; you know “Where You Are” when you think of hearin’ these two on a track. My Current Rating: 3.7
 
 
½tyme: Sounds like a nice lil’ edition, so far, with mainly nice ratings & some average ones… A 4.1 for tha average rating, currently; let’s see what we got next, after I take a lil’ intermission… *Pauses at 4:43 PM…* *Returns at 9:04 PM.* I ate a snack & then, get locked in tha couch with stretchin’ my legz… I’ll have to continue this 2morrow. Fa now, I gon get one night off my mind… *Pauses at 9:04 PM…* *Returns at 2:59 PM tha next day…* I’m back, though still not in tha best mood from a lil’ bit of toxic energy, in tha air… Gonna see what we got next, so I can boost tha mood…!
 
 
11. Wankelmut feat. PLANT “Carousel”
Label: Robbins
Hoping for tha best, with this one…! >>> Sounds like it’s gonna be a house track to progress on by… Just sounds decent, though with nice energy that’s not slow or anything. Not much else to say, as this iz short & sweet, basically. My Rating: 3.9
 
 
12. The Banker Boys feat. Aloe Blacc “Fade Away”
Label: Infinity &
Not too sure how to expect this one… Not that big about AB, imo… >>> Sounds like a decent 1st verse, here… Not too much to really say about Aloe & his Banker Boys collab… Hearin’ tha chorus & drop… Sounds a lot more on a special vibe, for a slower track! My Rating: 4.0
EDIT: I thought I was trippin’ but had to Google it… Tha label came up not just as Infinity; tha label came up as Infinity & (as in Infinity & Records).
 
 
13. MitiS feat. DEV “Wild One”
Label: Ophelia
A Seven Lions label, mixed with a DEV? Tha same Dev from tha Far*East Movement dayz? >>> Sounds like a good intro, though tha voice don’t sound like tha Dev I know. I guess tha CAPS make a difference, to distinguish between past artists? Liking this 1st verse; definitely feelin’ this collab! Tha rest of this sounds nice to hear; feelin’ tha “sunny” energy, as I’d call it. My Rating: 4.2
 
 
14. Don Diablo & MEARSY feat. RBZ “Physique”
Label: Hexagon/Spinnin’
Lookin’ forward to a faster track poppin’ up, randomly…! >>> Vocals sound a lil’ on tha urban side, which makes me appreciate more of tha moment, with tha vocals. Tha music has a ton of fast energy to appreciate, so major thumbs up to this collab!! Tha rest of this ain’t too bad; just gonna try & appreciate these vocals a lil’ more & *swish*, I’ll be good. My Rating: 4.4
 
 
15. Tobtok & PS1 feat. Georgia Meek “Drive”
Label: Robbins
Alwayz nice to see more Robbins tracks, as well as more from peeps like Tobtok & PS1… Lookin’ forward ta seein’ how they all collaborated on this one…! >>> Gotta try & adjust to these vocals, too, despite this one bein’ a female… Sounds like tha chorus/drop’s on a cool/energetic level! Likin’ how every1 collaborated, even tho I’m hearin’ tha 2nd verse & I’m feelin’ like I gotta adjust to ‘em, again… My Rating: 4.3
 
 
16. Mike Williams “Could It Be Love”
Label: Spinnin’
Anotha awesome appearance with tha 140 BPM!! >>> Definitely sounds anthemic! Vocals sound like a Georgia Ku & tha music’s definitely on such a euphoric level!! Gotta luv tha melodic way tha chorus delivers! Mike was able to slide a quick drop in & it was enough, due to tha awesome speed! Tha 2nd verse sounds nice to hear, as well! Luv how quick some of these songs come & go, length-wise & exposure-wise! Gotta be in tha moment, instantly & fast! My Rating: 4.7
 
 
17. Karin Ann “She (Benny Benassi Remix)”
Label: 3am
Droppin’ 20 BPM from tha previous track on here…! >>> Doesn’t really sound BBish… This female ain’t too bad on tha vocals. She just wants some1 to “dance with” her, “before tha sun comes up.” Just a decent lil’ track; nothin’ to feel a lotta energy from, like on tha faster tracks. My Rating: 3.3
 
 
18. Gorgon City “You Know It”
Label: Astralwerks/Capitol
Jumpin’ back to a regular-paced track with G-City in tha house…! Let’s see what they bring this year…! >>> Sounds like a good lil’ house track to progress tha tyme on by… I don’t mind their longer tracks; definitely give them their props for keepin’ tha focus up, in tha persistent music! Tha rest of this just progresses on, with not much to say… Good job, y’all! My Rating: 3.9
 
 
19. Afroki feat. Aviella “Everything You Do”
Label: Astralwerks/Capitol
Anotha Astralwerks/Capitol track, here, with a collab that just got out in tha world…! >>> Likin’ tha energy from these two, here! Luv how Aviella can make tha tracks really stand out, with her voice’s power & tha producer/DJ’s excellent energy! Chorus cool & I’m diggin’ tha energy throughout tha drop, progressin’ strong! Luv that build-up b4 tha 2nd drop!! Definitely gotta feel awesome about how they “turn up tha” energy, imo! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
20. Mr. Belt & Wezol “It’s Not Right (But It’s OK)”
Label: Arista
>>> It seemed ear-bleeding when Shane Codd did his remake. Now, with tha old Whitney label, Arista, we got this remake. I like how tha music sounds like it got a boost from tha original’s pace, though this just seems like Mr. Belt & Wezol are lookin’ at $$$, here. Just not diggin’ tha originality; I’ll pass on this one… My Rating: 1.1
 
 
21. Sophie Ellis-Bextor “Murder On The Dancefloor (PNAU Remix)”
Label: Republic
B4 I get in to this one, I have to say, in reference to this track: Exactly one year b4 my violence, on June 26, 2021, I was filmin’ what I thought was one of my music videoz. However, tha dudes switched up on me & made me film a video to one of their 2011 tracks. I thought to myself, “…Why am I workin’ on somethin’ that’s 10 years-old?” Since then, it seems like a bunch of these older tracks are havin’ rebirths or somethin’? At least on here, it’s a new remix. I just can’t dig tha original versions playin’ like their new & current; seems unfair. With that bein’ said, lemme take some tyme for this remix, to wrap up this edition… >>> Really just seems like tha vibe of tha original, just a lil’ slower… Tha PNAU signature sound goes with tha combo. I hope this makes Sophie put out some new music again, soon. Luved her last PO appearance, from tha November 2010 edition with “Not Giving Up On Love”! Thought to myself, “Wow, that was tha last I’ve heard from her, [x] years later, [x] years later, one decade later…” So yeah, not really somethin’ I’d jump for joy about; almost similar to tha original, imo. My Rating: 2.5
 
 
Overall: Seemed like we had a lot at stake, here… Definitely was nice hearin’ a good portion of these tracks; lots of great vibes, b4 tha birthday hits for tha summer! Anybody I’m around should alwayz know, if tha music’s real nice, tha environment should be, as well! If tha moments are golden, tha environment should be, as well!

Review #2,049: Promo Only "Dance Radio March 2024"

Reviewed on 2.04.2024 (Review #2,049)
 
 
I have a night off my full-tyme since almost tha last Promo Only review! Reviewed tha previous edition on January 12th & my previous night off was on January 14th! Now, let’s get it with Promo Only & Dance Radio March 2024! Can’t wait fa anotha edition, as this dance world keeps tha energy pumpin’!! Start Tyme: 12:48 PM | End Tyme: 2:42 PM
 
 
Disclaimer: I type how I wanna type (frequent use of “tha” instead of “the,” “iz” instead of “is,” “a”-ending words instead of “er,” and a few others). I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! As long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it, I like it how I wanna like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. Sometymes, I may not rate a song too high on its first listen, but in tha future, I could be playin’ it more than a higher-rated song…
 
© 2024 Review (Review #2,049) reviewed on 2.04.2024 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
 
 
01. Morgin Madison & Ryan Lucian x Jas. “Tell Me Who You Are”
Label: Enhanced
Loved how MM & RL collab’d on their previous collab. Now, they’re back with this one & I didn’t catch on to it, like I did with “From The Start”. Let’s see how it’ll do in this review, when I give it my full attention… >>> Sounds like a decent effort with tha female, here… I think I feel a lil’ better about rehearin’ this one… I’m not gonna deny this collab; I like hearin’ tha uplifting music vibes + tha chorus! Good goin’, Jas.! With that bein’ said, I hope this one gets good props & exposure like how “From The Start” got! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
02. Disco Lines, Ship Wrek & Daya “Peace Of Mind”
Label: Good Good
Looks like it can be a great gamble of a collab, here? Usually, with these three artists, I’ve been selective with their recent tracks. However, I think with tha pace, here, this’ll be a dope trio! >>> Sounds more like a good song for feelin’ high than your average faster track of feelin’ good… I’m definitely feelin’ how they bring a faster vibe outta a chill-type dance track! Interestin’ collab, between tha three; likin’ how Daya can create a good zone-out! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
03. Daniel Allan with Lyrah “I Just Need”
Label: Family Affair
Looks like a too-good-to-be-true feeling, here, courtesy of tha newer artists, labels & faster tempos! Definitely somethin’ I’ve missed, since my high school dayz!! Definitely nice to see this, especially on BPM, too! Neva gave it a full listen till now, so here goes my anticipated listen…! >>> Likin’ tha slow-type of beginning but a faster catch-up, later on!! Definitely nice, with all tha energy, here! Sounds like anotha shy-type of fast track, where tha energy’s fast but vocalist iz more chill, on tha vocals… Definitely tha interesting/dope way to celebrate 2024’s upbringings! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
04. Becky Hill & Sonny Fodera “Never Be Alone”
Label: Astralwerks/Capitol
Anotha one of tha newer tracks gettin’ out there, just like “Tell Me Who You Are” & “I Just Need”…! Definitely likin’ their collab, here; brings tha better out of them. Sounds like a really strong vocal chorus, courtesy of Becky… Definitely feelin’ tha excitement, to tha fullest! Basically, it’s a surrounding of tha chorus striking, in its strongest wayz… We’ll see how much luck this one has, as tha year progresses… I’ll give it its energetic props, courtesy of tha drop… My Current Rating: 4.3
 
 
05. Pet Shop Boys “Loneliness”
Label: Warner
From tha ‘80s to today, they still make appearances with tha highest longevity! That’s how I see myself, later in life, though not as widely respected by many! >>> Feel like I’m ready for a surprise, based off tha first 30 seconds of a music intro, here…? Hearin’ tha vocals come in and, I have to admit, feelin’ high iz realizing PSB can make a Dance Radio appearance four decades after their 1st big track! That’s how I want my longevity to be like! With that bein’ said, this sounds interesting but I’ono which type of people gon appreciate this, in tha dance world… Like, do I see this gettin’ buku spins on BPM? I’ono… Like, I think people gon be selective. Then again, their lack of selectiveness = more potential success for me. Good lil’ upbeat way to celebrate “Loneliness”; I feel tha same way, today! My Rating: 4.0
 
 
06. The Blessed Madonna feat. Clementine Douglas “Happier”
Label: Major/Warner
Hope this iz a good collab; definitely like tha two of these artists, in my own wayz…! >>> Sounds like a decent lil’ dance track; definitely appreciate their contributions to this year! Just a lil’ deep-housey vibe, courtesy of how C-Doug feels “Happier,” on tha track. Nothin’ much else to say, except a props from me… My Rating: 4.0
 
 
07. Alok & Bebe Rexha “Deep In Your Love”
Label: RCA
S/O to Alok for makin’ an ironic but awesome top spot on my Top 535 Songs of 2023 with “Jungle”! By “ironic,” I mean that my current slogan to describe how I’m feelin’ iz “100.00%.” “Jungle” topped my 24th annual year-end countdown, with only “100.00” dayz in rotation, tha shortest to eva top! Of course, even with my recap I did of my latest year-end countdown, of course, I got “100.00%” artist/titles correct, with my eyez closed, five seconds each track, back-to-back! With that bein’ said, I’m definitely on an excited level ta hear what Alok has with Ms. Rexha, here…! >>> Definitely feelin’ how he comin’ through with tha music, here! Anotha euphoric anthem, especially with Bebe’s contributions, too! Definitely an awesome chorus, as well as how Bebe lays tha verses down! Gotta feel her anticipatin’ tha warmer, nicer dayz! My Rating: 4.6
 
 
08. Cheat Codes feat. Birdy “Head Up”
Label: Cheat Codes/People Want To Dance
Awesome to hear Birdy back, after seven years ago with her “Find Me” collab, from tha March 2017 PO w/Sigma. Not to mention tha irony, too, that I believe, if I cross my fingers, that this month, Baton Rouge will release their Diamonds In The Dirt 2: The Birth Of Jigga City documentary film. When it was March 2017—tha 27th, to be exact, I was interviewed for tha movie, when I made my debut trip to Louisiana. Now, with Birdy’s 2nd collab, it’s ironic it’s now, seven years later w/tha film appearance about my contributions! Definitely excited to hear their collab, here…! >>> Seems like a slower type of start, as far as me appreciatin’ tha vibe… As far as this collab, it ain’t bad; I dig tha chorus. I’m startin’ to feel betta about hearin’ tha drop, too… Even got Trevor from CC on tha 2nd verse, here… Definitely a nice lil’ surprise to add to tha collab… We’ll see how much tha dance world gon appreciate this one… I think it deserves its share of new success, between CC & Birdy…! My Rating: 4.1
 
 
09. Ofenbach feat. Norma Jean Martine “Overdrive (VIP Mix)”
Label: Major/Warner
An awesome-soundin’ original version; hope this VIP Mix gives it a proper boost…! >>> A nice lil’ preparation intro, then tha chorus… Likin’ tha anthemic chorus, with tha music, here… Likin’ tha lil’ VIP drop, too; dope energy…! Likin’ this lil’ contribution to tha original version! Just gotta feel all euphoric, to tha fullest! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
10. AYYBO “RIZZ”
Label: GDB
Wonder what this’ll be like, after his hypnotizin’ “Hypnosis”ness… >>> Sounds like one of those special types of beginnings, courtesy of tha horns, here! Nice lil’ vocal in a feel-good zone, on tha chorus… I give this track its props, on anotha “Hypnosis”-type of level… My Rating: 4.2
 
 
11. Gorgon City & BbyAfricka “Biggest Regret”
Label: Astralwerks/Capitol
Looks like it’ll be an interesting one, here… Lookin’ forward to hearin’ what their “Biggest Regret” iz…! >>> Sounds like it’ll be more on a catchy level than a feel-good level… Yeah, that “love” for a person—even when you only show “love”—can turn in to a “Biggest Regret” to face! Likin’ how tha drop follows, soundin’ like a nice lil’ set of slimy sounds, lol? My Rating: 3.8
 
 
½tyme: Sounds like an edition exciting for tha exciting future, comin’ soon! A 4.2-rated edition, so far…! How will this continue? I’ll have to come back, after I’m done eatin’ somethin’… *Goes to eat at 1:44 PM…*
 
 
12. Frank Walker feat. Nate Smith “Missing You”
Label: Palm Tree
A FW appearance… Let’s see how this one gon go… >>> Don’t think I’m gonna like this country-like vocal, as well as tha track… Tha chorus tries to be a lil’ euphoric, tho I can’t get past tha country-like vocals… Nice try on tha drop; definitely some Avicii tymes, too…! Not too sure how this one’ll do, in tha world, as well as with me… I feel like it has an attempt, at least, in both worlds. My Rating: 3.5
 
 
13. Galantis x Hannah Boleyn “Little Bit Yours”
Label: Big Beat
Hope it’s a good collab, even tho it seems a lil’ slow? >>> Sounds like an okay track, between tha two of them… A lil’ bit of a party anthem on tha drop, at least… I think tha world gon gravitate toward Hannah, with all her current contributions. Not much else to say about this one; good goin’, y’all… My Rating: 3.7
 
 
14. Steve Angello “Me”
Label: Astralwerks/Capitol
Saw this one out there but don’t remember if I gave it a listen or not… >>> Yeah, it sounds a lil’ familiar… Like tha lil’ house vibe & how tha vocal sample sounds like a nice panic, lol… An addictive house vibe, to tha fullest! Talk about an inescapable chorus! My Rating: 4.1
 
 
15. RSCL x Repiet & Julia Kleijn “Echo (Tech Mix)”
Label: Revealed
It’s baaaack! Lol… Just an updated Tech Mix, here… >>> Started to like tha original more, as it got out in tha world, a lil’… Now, I hope this version keeps this track alive. All three artists on tha track deserve to keep it goin’! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
16. Tate McRae “exes (Regard Remix Radio Edit)”
Label: RCA
Excited ta see how these two collab again, after their massive, pre-victim-of-violence tymes of mine (with “You”)! >>> Luv her toughness, as far as her lyrics come out… Sounds like a good lil’ upbeat way of followin’ up from “You”… Likin’ all tha Regardness on tha chorus! Reminds me of Tate’s previous release, “greedy”, with Alok on tha remix! Now, it’s tyme for them greedy “exes”! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
17. Paul Russell “Lil’ Boo Thang (Galantis Remix)”
Label: Arista
Not anticipatin’ this one… >>> Luv how tha track tries to bring tha excitement out, in tha intro, followed by tha pathetic vibe of tha rappin’ & slower vibes! Nothin’ much else to say about this pathetic chorus & track… My Rating: 1.1
 
 
18. Dua Lipa “Houdini (Adam Port Remix)”
Label: Warner
I hope, in this Lipa-appearin’ case, that this iz a good lil’ remix to contribute to this edition…! >>> Likin’ tha lil’ merengue-like vibe, in tha beginning… As it progresses, it just seems a lil’ basic, with tha way this sounds… Tha chorus okay but picks up once it ends… I like how she vocalizes, durin’ some of tha drop parts…! Sounds like it’s a grower, for a slow one… We’ll see how this progresses, in tha future… My Rating: 4.1
 
 
19. Kygo & Ava Max “Whatever”
Label: Kygo/RCA
Got to hear this, not that long ago… Didn’t get to add it, right away, but it’s now here, so… >>> Sounds like a lil’ throwback-type of Kygo vibe, here & I have to admit: I like how Ava redoes Shakira, on tha chorus! Awesome lil’ drop, includin’ this whole entire vibe! Definitely nice, on a slower level! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
20. NERO “Blame You”
Label: 2808
Their only Dance Radio appearance of December 2011 & now, their 2nd! How ‘bout that, Birdy?! Lol, almost doubletyme! Anywayz, I’m unsure what this one’ll be like, fa 2024… >>> Sounds like tha track slowly gets more & more intense!! Oh boy, what a build-up!! I’m tryna think of what that build-up sound iz!! Sounds like some track I loved back in tha day…! Likin’ how tha beats slow down, on tha drop! Definitely nice! Could it remind me of Operatica feat. Maureen O’Flynn “Melancholy Rose (Richie Santana’s Anthem Mix)”, durin’ tha Opera Trance tymes of 2000/2001? If so, definitely an awesome tease to my earz & brain! Gotta luv it, in its own wayz! S/O Alana Watson & NERO! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
21. Marshmello x venbee “No Man’s Land”
Label: Joytime Collective/RCA
Likin’ how Venbee continues to branch out & this a good way to keep tha inspiration of my trips goin’. Likin’ tha faster vibes of Mr. Mello, too… Hoping tha best for Venbee & how things go, in tha future. This a nice lil’ contribution, energy & mind-wise! My Current Rating: 4.2
 
 
22. Timmy Trumpet “Best Thing”
Label: SINPHONY/Spinnin’
Endin’ it wit a big bang?! Can’t imagine what Timmy gon sound like, based off of only 82 BPM…! >>> A feeling of double tha pace? Almost reminded me of Gammer “The Drop”, based off tha first few seconds…! Likin’ this lil’ vocal & tha strong energy I’m about to witness! Sounds like a nice lil’ vibe; sounds like a good lil’ bonus track… Cool lil’ verse & tha chorus with tha “Best Thing” sounds awesome to appreciate, vibe-wise! My Rating: 4.0
 
 
Overall: Sounded like an awesome edition, overall… Seems like we’re in a good place, in tha dance world. I know it’s tha main world for me, these dayz… With that bein’ said, I look forward to seein’ tha epic anthems 2024 gon continue to bring!!

Review #2,048: Promo Only "Dance Radio February 2024"

Reviewed on 1.12.2024 (Review #2,048)
 
 
FrankieThaLuckyDog, here on a random day in January… Was ‘pose to count down my 24th annual year-end countdown of my Top 535 Songs of 2023. However, I took more tyme to relax & rest, rather than prepare my upcomin’ year-end countdown. Now, exactly two decades after I first got digital cable—including Music Choice Dance—now, here I am, 20 years later, reviewin’ Promo Only Dance Radio February 2024! Gonna feel them nostalgic vibes of two decades ago? We shall see; I’m definitely hyped for tha tracks, here! I wanted to review this b4 I got to my own year-end countdown. Crazy when tha anticipation flips around, at tymes…! Start Tyme: 9:45 AM | End Tyme: 11:11 AM
 
 
Disclaimer: I type how I wanna type (frequent use of “tha” instead of “the,” “iz” instead of “is,” “a”-ending words instead of “er,” and a few others). I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! As long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it, I like it how I wanna like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. Sometymes, I may not rate a song too high on its first listen, but in tha future, I could be playin’ it more than a higher-rated song…
 
© 2024 Review (Review #2,048) reviewed on 1.12.2024 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
 
 
01. Tiësto x FAST BOY “All My Life”
Label: Musical Freedom
Luv how I’m reminiscin’ about tha tymes of 20 years ago & tha energy I loved growin’ up to! Now, just like his Just Be dayz of ’04, here’s this edition kickin’ off with a 138 BPM Ësto! Heard a sample of this, recently, but didn’t get tha chance to add it. Now, here it iz, on tha review! Seems like an odd collab but tha way tha odd-soundin’ male vocals mix with tha hyper music makes for a future classic? Definitely feelin’ what they’re bringin’ to tha table, here…! Catchy chorus & them FAST BOY boyz keepin’ it movin’, here… Hope this puts Tiësto back in his faster zones! My Current Rating: 4.5
 
 
02. Wolfgang Gartner feat. Scrufizzer “Level Up”
Label: Dim Mak
Definitely lookin’ forward ta hearin’ a brand-new track from Mr. Gartner, here… With this brand-new featured artist, I’m hopin’ they made a dope collab! Lemme find out… >>> Sounds cool with all tha levelin’-up sound effects but I’ono if I can really take this one seriously. It sounds like somethin’ I’d hate in today’s world of rappin’, mainly about tha “money”! I love when music’s real & fun, not fake & “money”-hungry!! Not really feelin’ tha lyrics of tha rappin’ on tha 1st verse, even tho I do dig tha title part. Also, it sounds like Wolfgang done went disco? Leave that to tha Purple they call… Disco Machine!! Good try; maybe, a less-hungry-for-“money” vibe, next tyme? My Rating: 2.6
 
 
03. Eva Shaw “You Don’t Know Me”
Label: Mad Fatti
Brand-New label, here, tho an existing Eva Shaw! “Mad Fatti”? What kinda “Fatti” iz dis…?! >>> Sounds like an interesting female on tha vocals, like she’s not from tha United States? I’ono… I guess it seems okay? Tha chorus cool & I like that it’s at an average pace, fa me (128 BPM)… My Rating: 3.8
 
 
04. Peggy Gou & Lenny Kravitz “I Believe In Love Again (Jex Opolis Remix)”
Label: XL
This one’s out there & could Peggy bet her $$$ on Mr. Kravitz to help her out, just as big as “(It Goes Like) Nanana”? Keep believin’! I like that this remix speeds up from tha slower original. This way, it has more of a life for this leap-year month edition! As far as Peggy on her short vocal parts, they’re awesome to hear. With Mr. Kravitz, sometymes, his voice seems so innocent. However, he sounds a lil’ cheesy & desperate, when he “ahh-yeah”s us. That’s just my opinion… Thanx for tha music boost, Jex; simple, energetic beats to progress us to tha future…! My Current Rating: 3.9
 
 
05. John Summit & Mathame feat. Camden Cox “Hungover”
Label: Experts Only/Darkroom
Definitely a huge gem, right chea!! Reminds me so much of my Christmas light show experiences, last month! Also, a Louisiana trip! Definitely luv how all them collab on such a huge vibe of 136 BPM!! It’s literally like tha tymes of my upbringing of creating my own playlists, 20 years ago! Now, we’re in such a bigger perspective—as far as my experience & age goes!! Definitely huge with how Mr. Summit & Mathame combine, for such a fast, huge vibe!! Also, gotta luv Camden, as she alwayz appears on these tracks!! They may like tha “Hungover” but tha way I define tha “…hate being sober” part, I would say my “sober” = no THC… I saw this on there & had to down a (liquid) edible! Hadn’t had an edible feelin’ since October 5, 2022! S/O to “Hungover”, for tha resurrected feeling! Me, personally, I don’t get wrapped up in tha repetitiveness… when it’s on a fast note! My Current Rating: 4.9
 
 
06. Morgan Page “Anyone”
Label: Spinnin’
Back ta slowin’ down, after a fast intermission, if you wanna call it that! Let’s see how our guy does it fa tha 2024… >>> Sounds like an interesting, unknown vocalist, puttin’ in work… Tha music sounds good & tha chorus iz nice. I didn’t hear a drop, as tha 2nd verse just made its way in… Whomeva Morgan’s collaborator iz, I think he picked a good one, here. My Rating: 4.0
 
 
07. Loud Luxury feat. charlieonnafriday “Young & Foolish”
Label: Armada
S/O to these innocent tymes! Luv how they collab on this one, includin’ tha “young” feelings of charlie! Tha lyrics are definitely catchy, silly, “foolish” & fun, altogether! Tha “young” part reminds me of my college dayz of alwayz listenin’ & embracin’ music. Neva got wrapped up in all them drinking tymes & slowly built my way through tha highs. Now, here I am! “Last night, I threw up in my Uber. Sending drunk texts…” Just sounds irresponsible but a vibe that makes you wanna keep livin’ tha best life! My Current Rating: 4.2
 
 
08. Karan Aujla, Ikky & Tiësto “Softly (Tiësto Remix Radio)”
Label: Warner
Don’t exactly know what to expect… I really hope it’s somethin’ special but I won’t know until I press… >>> Sounds like it’s gonna be a weird, male-vocal house track… Just sounds like a bunch of ramblin’, on tha beginning vocals… Compared to how he started tha edition off, this iz too blah… It’s too bland… I’m not gonna say much more… My Rating: 2.9
 
 
09. Joy Anonymous & Sugababes “JOY (Push The Button)”
Label: Astralwerks/Capitol
Luv that, not only are we speedin’ back up but also, I’m gettin’ nostalgic feelings of those 2004 dayz of Sugababes! When tha United States showed them luv to their “Hole In The Head” & now, redoin’ their 2005 track of tha same name, it’s like tha U.S. iz appreciatin’ them, once again! Also, this “Push The Button” was redone by Henri, back on tha December 2007 Dance Radio edition! Only heard it once, so I’m gonna re-hear it… >>> Definitely luvin’ tha breakbeat vibe, here, as well as tha Sugababes! Like how these two collab fa a track like this! Remade, redone, it’s all good! Definitely nice to resurrect this track & tha breakbeat vibe! Awesome combo! My Rating: 4.6
 
 
½tyme: So far, pretty nice for an edition. Definitely feelin’ all tha speed boosts, like it was ’04 or somethin’! A 3.9 for tha average rating, currently. Can’t wait ta see what kinda hidden/new tracks are next!
 
 
10. Shogun “Shut Up Now (Dance With Me)”
Label: Black Hole
Whoa!! 146 BPM?! Talk about craziness, on tha speed!! Btw, y’all forgot tha closed parenthesis on tha title. It’s all good ‘cause I got y’all back with that one! Now, what will this even feel like…?! >>> Sounds like a nice, unique female, on tha vocals…! I’m definitely feelin’ tha fast vibes, here! I literally wanna toke!! *Tokes…* Whoa, those fast beats, after tha chorus!! Definitely luvin’ tha energy, at a dope speed!! Definitely nice to bring in tha new year, once again!! Tha song came & gone so fast… Lol, just like a regular speed, 128… seconds long, that iz! My Rating: 4.8
 
 
11. Hayla “Fall Again”
Label: Restless Minds
Courtesy of tha exclusiveness of Diplo’s Revolution, here comes this track. Deserves to be a big one? Alwayz appreciate her strong singin’ for tha dance world… Reminds me of a John Summit production, behind tha scenes… Definitely feel how she creates strength throughout all tha energy she’s surrounded by. Will this continue to be bigger for 2024? … My Current Rating: 4.4
 
 
12. Zerb feat. Sofiya Nzau “Mwaki”
Label: TH3RD BRAIN
Uh… a… weird one… Heard this throughout tha SiriusXM dance channels… I’ono, seems like it’s from anotha world far-far away. Based from Kenya, here’s this Sofiya. I’ont think she’s special like Kenya Grace turned out to be, last year! Must be tha accent? Flow? Plus, tha slower beats. Just sounds like a bland song from anotha world. My Current Rating: 2.5
 
 
13. Madelline “i’m only here for the beat (Evil Mix)”
Label: Robbins
Not too sure but excited for an updated version of this track. I think it needs some spice? What’s an “Evil Mix”? Hmm… >>> A hidden surprise…? Off to a similar start like its original was… So far, so similar… I’ono, it’s so strange… I must not know tha key as in figurin’ out tha exact difference between tha original & this “Evil Mix”. I’m just gonna copy/paste tha original’s rating, now as a current rating. My Current Rating: 4.2
EDIT: I’m not trippin’… Tha original was also #13 on tha December 2023 edition! 13
 
 
14. GT_Ofice x ALWZ SNNY x Robbie Rosen “Feels Like Us (Matthew Topper Remix)”
Label: Caine
This one appears again… Guess it needed a 2nd chance? A remix boost? >>> Okay… Sounds good for tha start, here; likin’ tha extra energy from MT… Good energy in tha 1st verse, as well as a nice chorus. However, tha drop a lil’ dry. Prolly coulda used some extra synth boosts? Overall, still a decent track. BPM only gave tha original version of this song, like, 16 spins. GT’s dream was to get a track on BPM. That’s what he told me… This one did it & even tho it didn’t chart much with me, BPM felt tha same. Will this remix help resurrect its lack of success? I give it faith but will keep tha faith with me, for now… My Rating: 3.8
 
 
15. Alan Walker, Dash Berlin & Vikkstar “Better Off (Alone, Pt. III)”
Label: RECORDS/Columbia
Sounds like some bonus energy to continue tha “Alone” series of titles… Neva got to add this one; I let Alice Deejay handle tha sample, once again. Nice remakin’ & feelin’ “alone,” just like how I’ve mainly been feeling amongst communicatin’ directly in tha media. Nice energy, between all them; hope they continue tha upbeat energy, continuously! My Current Rating: 4.3
 
 
16. Joe Bermudez “Diamonds”
Label: 617
Wound up gettin’ a sample through SiriusXM, not that long ago… I’ono, especially with Mr. Bermudez bein’ around 20 years ago, I don’t think he should fall in to this slap-house trap. Not to mention, remakin’ Rihanna, from 12 years ago? Just doesn’t seem like it would fit my interests. Just seems like bonus $$$... My Current Rating: 1.0
 
 
17. Cheat Codes & Sam Feldt “You Don’t Even Know Me”
Label: Casablanca/Republic
I’ono… My brain’s tellin’ me that, based off tha previous two tracks, iz this what I think it gon be like…? >>> More like a completely-new track… Nice to hear Trevor & tha CC back, once again. I kinda like & reminisce a lil’ slower vibe, here & there. A decent combo with Mr. Feldt; can’t complain, overall. Don’t know how interested I’ll be in this track, as tyme goes on. We’ll have to see if mainstream’ll take care of that. My Rating: 3.6
 
 
18. Steve Aoki & Yellowcard “Ocean Avenue”
Label: Dim Mak
Speaking of 20 years ago, I remember watchin’ MTV’s TRL with Yellow Card’s “Ocean Avenue” blowin’ up. Neva really liked tha original & kinda gag on it, now… However, Aoki spinnin’ it like… >>> Neva thought there’d be a Dance Radio edition with Yellowcard! Not to mention, in this fast, Luude-like way! “Spinnin’ it like…” a Luude-like way. Don’t know if I can really appreciate this or will it seem like a guilty pleasure? Tha faster Luude vibes transitioned to more of a slower vibe & vice versa. Seems like it’s nostalgically euphoric? Ahh, guess it’s a guilty pleasure, in tha end. My Rating: 4.1
 
 
19. Fred again.. & Baby Keem “leavemealone”
Label: Atlantic
Ending a 2nd February edition in a row with Mr. Fred again..! What a way to “Rumble”, if you know what I mean! As far as this collab, I definitely feel how they collab in such a unique way! Luv how Keem come through with his unique voice & delivery, here. Glad he doesn’t fit in tha watered-down stereotype of nothin’ but “money”! Luv how Fred again.. speeds it up, too; definitely awesomeness! My Current Rating: 4.7
 
 
Overall: Definitely seems like an edition that’s future nostalgic. I’m definitely feelin’ all tha fast-paced tracks, to tha fullest! Definitely lovin’ that we’re in a fast world, especially on this 20th anniversary of me gettin’ digital cable! I’m still usin’ tha same boombox from 2003 & tha RadioShack AUX cord I bought, back in January 2004! Definitely tymes, on a higher, extra-elevated level! With that bein’ said, I’m gonna be more & more excited for these upcomin’ reviewz! Think: This review pushed back my upcomin’ year-end countdown! Tha last tyme I started a year-end late like this was for my 2005 one! A whopping 18 year-end countdowns ago, when its 1st day of counting down was on January 14, 2006! Now, January 15, 2024, I will count down my Top 535 Songs of 2023! Can’t wait! Let’s get it…!
