© 2007 CD Review (Review #21) reviewed on 7.21.2007 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.













01. TiŃ‘sto Feat. BT “Break My Fall (Paul Oakenfold Edit)”
Preview: High AL #1. Let’s see if they do another big collabo.
Intro: Nice intro of tha gurl and BT.
Vocals: Pretty good.
Music: Really feelin’ tha PO (that’s Paul Oakenfold) music.
Chorus: Nice chorus.
Overall: Tha music was REAL good for me, and tha song had a nice flow. :tu
My Rating: 4.0

02. Danielle Bollinger Feat. Nikko “Take It Back (Radio Edit)”
Preview: High AL #2, and I’ve been DYING to hear this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VERY HIGH AL!!! *Wonders what it’ll sound like...*
Intro: It’s a popish intro, and tha feat. artist sounds like a reggaeton artist.
Vocals: Different, yet MAINSTREAM for DB. Lol @ that rapper. :rofl
Music: Tha music iz good for a 96'er. Club banger wit a pop/urban feel.
Chorus: I LOVE when she says “take it back”.
Overall: Club banger, and I’m really feelin’ it. Just like wit “Whine Up”, this one should go very mainstream. Also, you should check out another one of her new songs on tha Tony Moran CD “The Event” called “Surrender Me”. I NHI but tha title sounds HOT, especially since it’s on tha TM CD.
My Rating: 4.0

03. Paul Van Dyk Feat. Jessica Sutta “White Lies (Radio Edit)”
Preview: High AL #3. Looks like it’s goin’ to be a big one!!! Lemme finally hear:
Intro: Nice intro.
Vocals: Not bad...
Music: Pretty good...
Chorus: Pretty good, although it might have to grow, but that might happen easily.
Overall: Expected a lil’ better, but it’s still banging. :tu
My Rating: 3.9

04. Judy Torres “I Don’t (Radio Mix)”
Preview: High AL #4, and I can’t wait to hear it. :shock:
Intro: Tha lil’ intro part reminded me of Valentin. :tu
Vocals: :tu I like how they get better. :tu And yeah, tha vocals get better and better on tha last chorus. :tu
Music: YES VALENTIN!!! :tu It’s REAL good after tha chorus.
Chorus: A lil’ bit on tha religious side... pretty good tho. :tu Really feelin’ it. :tu
Overall: This iz a banger, and Party 105 added already. This iz my current favorite for tha moment. :tu
My Rating: 4.0

05. Carrillo & Amador Feat. Nina Lares “I Wish You Well (Radio Edit)”
Preview: High AL #5. We didn’t like “Spotlight” (their past song from 3/07 CD), and “Arizona Bump” iz great & retarded ( :lol: ), but Nervous signed this one, and Dance Airplay said this was going to be great, so I hope it iz.
Intro: Nice electronic sounding.
Vocals: They’re aight... I have a feeling they’re gonna get tiring in tha future? :?
Music: Electronic & Rockish... not feelin’ it too much. :(
Chorus: It’s kinda ass, sorry. :oops:
Overall: That didn’t meet my expectations at all... bleh. It’ll get out there due to Nervous, but it’s going to be too big where I won’t be able to handle it. :(
My Rating: 2.6

06. Bob Sinclar Feat. Cutee B, Dollarman & Gary Pine “Sound of Freedom (Radio Edit)”
Preview: Who tha fuck needs a preview to this piece of shit? :arrow: :arrow: :arrow:
Intro: Oh no “another Bob Sinclar track”. :( Gay how it COPIED it from RTP... like pretty much 99.9% EXACTLY. :duh: :duh:
Vocals: I don’t mind tha rapping, but it’s pretty damn gay on all 3 of tha vocalists. :td
Music: Gay... it’s a DUPLICATE of RTP... NOT called for at all. :arrow:
Chorus: Enough wit these gay samples already.................. :arrow:
Overall: This should’ve been on that shitty-ass July 2007 CD. It was PERFECT for song #1. I actually like RTP A LOT better than this song. :td
My Rating: 1.3

07. Axwell Feat. Max C “I Found U (Radio Edit)”
Preview: Let’s see what this House predicting song’ll sound like...
Intro: Kinda plain...
Vocals: Ahh... I don’t know... bad vocalizing after tha 2nd verse. :td
Music: Nice music during tha verse... not even house... it’s changin’ up a bit... changed up more during tha 2nd verse.
Chorus: Cheese...
Overall: That was kinda plain... :td Content warning ‘cause it said “damn”, smh...
My Rating: 2.9

08. Maroon 5 “Makes Me Wonder (Harry Choo Choo Romero's Radio Edit)”
Preview: None due to it’s on MCD.
Intro: I like it. :tu
Vocals: I really like those vocals that fool you (when it says “I still - then tha chorus”). Either way, good vocals. :tu
Music: I think tha music iz pretty cool (especially on tha “not chorus” parts), but tha orig. iz better.
Chorus: Tha Strobe version says “House Edit” and it ain’t House. This iz more of tha “House” version.
Overall: Great remix. I didn’t rush to get it ‘cause I didn’t want it right away, but I guess it’ll replace tha original on my playlist since tha original already spent 14 weeks on my playlist.
My Rating: 3.9

09. Kim English “My Destiny (Kobbe & Austin Leeds Radio Edit)”
Preview: No preview due to MCD, but I finally found out that K&AL were tha ones that made that popular remix last year to Starkillers “Discoteka”. Still, :roll: for Starkillers not liking me...
Intro: LOVES IT! :tu
Vocals: Always love to hear her. Love that line “goin’ out on a limb looking for tha fruit.” How juicy! :D
Music: Great music on this one. :tu
Chorus: Just ‘cause I like those vocals, I like tha chorus. :tu
Overall: I guess if you want an “Everyday” sounding Kim English back, just hope that Hex Hector & Mac Quayle (a.k.a. H2Q - who produced/remixed “Everyday”) come back together and make FIRE songs (they did a lot in tha early 00's).
My Rating: 4.0

10. Jupiter Rising “Electropop (Lenny B Radio Mix)”
Preview: High AL #6. I know Lenny B’s gonna use those HOT sound effects from tha original...
Intro: Real nice. :tu :tu :tu Yup there’s those sounds.
Vocals: Still feelin’ ‘em. :tu
Music: REAL HOT in tha chorus, and REAL HOT. :tu :!: :!: :tu Real nice after tha chorus. :tu Go Lenny B! :!: Damn that bridge still sounds tha same. :cry: But I guess it’s better since I called Darnell up today, and everything’s still cool, so :tu on that.
Chorus: Sounds REAL good, ESPECIALLY wit that electronic “Electro-Pop” sounding.
Overall: Damn I LOVE that length, 4:33. Hope MCD adds it, and I’m REALLY feelin’ it enough to put it back into my playlist. :tu
My Rating: 4.0

11. Ray Roc Feat. Keith Harrison “Sun In My Face (Radio Edit)”
Preview: High AL #7. Another Ray Roc (Roc Project) song... :tu :tu
Intro: Plain start, but it’s goin’ to sound like a soulful R&B song?...
Vocals: Wow sorry but they’re terrible. :cry: :cry: Iz tha feat. artist a 40+ year old R&B singer? :?
Music: For Ray Roc, it should be better. Damn tha lower BPM Ray Roc / Roc Project songs sound better... usually they’re <128, and now this iz =128, and it’s bleh...
Chorus: Aight, but how gay it’s House... :td
Overall: How boring... definately didn’t meet my expectations. :( That title was good, and then tha song went down tha drain. :(
My Rating: 1.5

12. Erotico Feat. Giorgio “Sacalo (Radio Edit)”
Preview: High AL #8. After that gay song above, I hope Robbins didn’t fuck it over wit a foreign language song...
Intro: Love that lil’ first 2 seconds, lol.
Vocals: Am I expecting this to be funny? :lol: Funny vocals...
Music: Nice music, although kinda plain here and there. Around 1:35ish tha music becomes BANGIN’! :tu :tu
Chorus: Sacalo, tripalo, docalo, natalo, mamalo. :rofl
Overall: This iz repetitive in a humor way, and I’m really feelin’ it, especially that BANGIN’ music!! :tu Finally some humor in dance music. :tu Robbins shouldn’t’ve gotten this one tho.
My Rating: 4.0

13. Armand Van Helden “I Want Your Soul (Radio Edit)”
Preview: High AL #9. What did Armand Van Helden, BL & Fat Joe do this time?
Intro: Nice intro. No BL & Fat Joe? Bad PO for fuckin’ tha ID over... :(
Vocals: They’re not bad. They flow pretty good over tha music.
Music: Real nice music. A lil’ mix of oldness here and there.
Chorus: Nice chorus.
Overall: Too bad they fucked tha ID over... this wouldn’t’ve been a High AL in tha first place. Either way, pretty good for a song. I just hate tha ID trick a lot. :evil:
My Rating: 3.6

14. Sharon T “He Told Me He Loved Me (Klubjumpers Radio Edit)”
Preview: High AL #10. Due to label & mix, I predict this’ll be my favorite, so tha HIGHEST AL on this. Plus, how weird I’m at my Uncle Willy’s doing this review, and his old wife’s name iz Sharon. :rofl
Intro: Kinda short... need to hear more.
Vocals: Needs a lil’ work. Plus, this sounds like a remake... :oops:
Music: Kinda plain for KJ in tha 1st verse, but pretty good in tha chorus.
Chorus: Prolly tha best part of tha song. :) Actually, nice lyrics in tha chorus. :tu
Overall: Aight feelin’ it a lil’ more towards tha end of tha song. I had all that AL in me wit tha KJ, but yeah, it’s better now, but not a 4.0 rating due to that it’s growing now. Lol did it just skip at tha end? I noticed that on a few of tha songs on here... :?
My Rating: 3.9

15. Friscia & Lamboy “Deep Into Your Soul (Cube Guys Radio Edit)”
Preview: High AL #11. Let’s hope it’s good between tha F&L + CG collabo.
Intro: A building up intro... kinda like clubbish.
Vocals: *cracks a smile* Oh good ol’ “Elektro” iz back!! :tu :rofl :lol: :tu Now tha vocals are reminding me of PQM “You Are Sleeping” from MCE.
Music: Nice music. :tu :tu
Chorus: This iz great. I’m enjoying this a lot. :tu
Overall: This iz definitely a turn on. :tu Nice club song like “Elektro”. Ba-da da da, da da, da da, da-da-da-da.” :rofl
My Rating: 4.0

16. Fall Out Boy “Thnks Fr Th Mmrs (The Lindbergh Palace Radio Edit)”
Preview: This: :( <- A sad face.
Intro: Wow how smooth unlike Lenny B’s which was HARD.
Vocals: Yeah pretty good for Fall Out Boy.
Music: Iz it me or iz this different from Music Choice Hitlist’s? They listed it as Lindbergh Palace Remix... they should ID their remixes better instead of just “Remix”. It sounds a LOT better, although it’s very smooth.
Chorus: GREAT, and I like that “taste like you only swEETER.”
Overall: Prolly best UNEXPECTED sounding song... I thought this mix was a lot gayer due to what I heard on MCH.
My Rating: Lenny B Short Term Memory: 3.9 The Lindbergh Palace Radio Edit: 4.0

17. Stevie Nicks “Stand Back (Tracy Young Takes You Home Radio)”
Preview: Sometimes I think those mix names are 1.) “lmao” ish 2.) gay 3.) Creative. It’s a MCD heavy rotation song.
Intro: Banging intro. :tu
Vocals: And NO it’s not DANCE vs. DANCE. She made this song originally in tha early 80's. This iz just a 2007 remix. I like her vocals, and her. Ewe what’s that bridge? :? *Pukes* MCD don’t have that... wow what a TERRIBLE last minute! :duh:
Music: Real good. Oh shit MCD and them club mixes of tha songs they have. It confuses me/tricks me wit tha Radio Edits Promo Only comes out wit.
Chorus: Good, although tha best one was wit Linus Loves & Sam Obernik (they dance vs. dance’d it when Stereo Soundclash Feat. Louise Carver did it a few months before LL & SO did it).
Overall: Real good until tha last minute. I’mma have to do some editing and make it a Tracy Young Takes You To MCD Edit.
My Rating: 3.8 - deduction came from that last minute.

18. Ferry Corsten Feat. Debra Andrew “Beautiful (Radio Version)”
Preview: High AL #12. I hope it’s “beautiful.”
Intro: *Needs to hear more*
Vocals: Pretty good.
Music: Nice. After tha chorus it didn’t catch me ‘til about 1:40ish when it sounded a lil’ better.
Chorus: Nice. I heard this somewhere... was it a MCD late night Resident Nation mix? Prolly.
Overall: Pretty good. Cool sounds at tha end.
My Rating: 3.8

19. Erasure “Sunday Girl (Radio Mix)”
Preview: High AL #13. Glad to hear another new song from Erasure. :tu
Intro: Shit that’s a cool intro. It reminds me of outer space, lol.
Vocals: Great... no need to say more. :wink:
Music: Tha music gives me more AL. It’s on some hot outer space type of shit. :tu It’s pretty cool, but not so much in tha chorus.
Chorus: Okay... thought it would be a lot better... matter a’fact, it’s kinda :td unfortunately. :(
Overall: That music iz REAL good!! :tu :tu If tha chorus was better, it would’ve been perfect. Still LOVIN’ tha intro!! :tu :tu
My Rating: 3.9

20. Cupid “Cupid Shuffle (Solitaire Radio Edit)”
Preview: Aight High AL #14 (I said I had 13 High ALs, but now I have 14). Glad to see Solitaire back on tha scene (since 2004 was tha last time), and 141 iz fast. It better sound creative, and not completely like tha original.
Intro: Lol... soulful, but doesn’t sound 141 ish...
Vocals: They’re slower... shit I’m crackin’ up like crazy over that “to tha right to tha left” shit!! :rofl
Music: This ain’t what I expected... where tha hell are tha BPMs??? :? :? Actually, it’s not so bad. Okay an increase in tha music sounding after tha 2nd chorus.
Chorus: Still lmfaoish.
Overall: Funny, but a lil’ too soulful for a dance R&B song... still gets my thumbs up tho.
My Rating: 3.9

Overall CD: End Time: 11:01 PM. Two exact hours of tha PODR807. Anyway, real good wit a few letdowns.
