Review #402: Promo Only: Dance Radio April 2010

Reviewed on 4.01.2010 (Review #402)


Back up in this right here… Wow, I haven’t done any reviewz since tha last PO… Hoping to catch up now dat it’s Easter Break ‘til tha 6th! Here goes my review for Promo Only: Dance Radio April 2010! DEFINITELY lookin’ good like last month’s so let’s see how they battle it out!! Start Time: 4:40 PM | End Time: 7:11 PM


Quick Notes:
1. I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0. 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) so any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating.
To tha artist/producer: Don’t get catchy feelin’s if I don’t like a song on a first listen. Things could change in tha future as I could love it, so you neva know!
2. 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.
3. AL = Anticipation Level
4. MC = Music Choice (wit these letters attached, it adds to MC: D/E = Dance/Electronica (just a D or an E represents tha separate part of tha channel); R = Rap; H = Hitlist; HH&R&B = Hip-Hop And R&B; SOTS = Sounds Of The Seasons)
5. PO = Promo Only
6. iPR = iPartyRadio
7. RE = Radio Edit
8. PFM = Party FM
9. PB = Perfect Beat
10. MS = MySpace
11. YT = YouTube
12. FB = Facebook
13. IC = In-consideration (of playing tha song)
14. HM = Hit mixer
15. Any other initials usually relate to tha artist/song I’m currently reviewin’.
16. DvD = Dance vs. Dance (meanin’ a Dance artist covered/remade another Dance artist’s song)

© 2010 CD Review (Review #402) reviewed on 4.01.2010 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. Alexis Jordan “Happiness”
LOVIN’ tha name here as it reminds me of my gurl Alexia at my college!! I expect a REAL GR8 start like when Little Boots “Remedy” was tha #1 song!!! >>> From tha first few seconds, it doesn’t sound like a starting song; it’s soundin’ hot though! DEFINITELY sounds hot for a female on this starting song; good job on tha chorus! Lots of interest catchin’ onto me here! Tha 2nd chorus sounds betta; luvin’ tha vocal quality!! HOTNESS on tha way tha bridge sounds!! :tu My Rating: 4.3


02. Rihanna “Rude Boy (Wideboys Radio Edit)”
>>> Not tha same start as MCD; wow, MUCH HOTTER for a beginning!! I thought MCD’s unsourced mix was Wideboys (based off of tha sounds). I don’t know about feelin’ tha very fast vocals here; I liked them when they were watered down, lol. Too much LOLs here wit tha fast-ass vocals and tha song’s a lil’ funny to me. I just really like this beat goin’ on here! Based off of this Rihanna mix surprising me, I KNOW this CD DEFINITELY iz gonna be FULLA surprises and HOTNESS!!! My Rating: 4.4


03. Mayra Verόnica “If You Wanna Fly (Funk Generation Radio Edit)”
REAL GLAD I’m gettin’ to this early ‘cause I get ta hear this MOST ANTICIPATED song on here ASAP!!! Glad she’s back, two exact years later no less!! Here goes my listen… *DRUM ROLL* >>> Because it was 133 BPM, I thought it was gonna sound like tha “Money To Blow” mix in tha beginning but it’s REAL, REAL HOT for a start!!! Tha vocals DEFINITELY are REAL HOT here as they (and tha beat) iz a NICE refreshin’ start here to 2010!!! I think tha song itself iz also real catchy too; I thought this beat sounded like somethin’ recent too… Oh, it sounds like tha Cahill remix of “Release Me” from Agnes. Just off tha feel of it, and that I haven’t done this in a while, I feel like it gets tha FULL rating!! My Rating: 5.0
EDIT: Not tha Veronica we know from tha ‘90s; this iz Mayra Verόnica!


04. Lady Antebellum “Need You Now (Jason Nevins Elektrotek Radio Edit)”
ANOTHA song I’m DEFINITELY feelin’ right now!! MCH got a mix (a lil’ on tha dancy side) but it was just an Ultimix; it sounded hot though! I wonder if this’ll compete wit it; I’m not sure… >>> A lil’ different for a start here… Kinda weird for me compared to tha Ultimix. I do like tha coolness though but it doesn’t fit this song. Thanx to this CD puttin’ me in a good mood, this mix’s rating iz still pretty good fa me. My Rating: 3.9


05. Tiёsto Feat. Tegan & Sara “Feel It In My Bones”
CONSISTENTNESS!!! “Escape me” and bring me into this song!! >>> Of course, good start so far. You KNOW if it’s Dance, it’s a plus!! Tha song (of course) iz interestin’, especially if you can “feel it in your bones.” :tu Great job wit tha ending too! My Rating: 4.3


06. Rietsa “Perfect Gentleman (Smash Mode Radio Edit)”
This iz what I’m talkin’ ‘bout; MORE HOTNESS!!! REALLY wanted to get tha original version (kinda on tha GaGa side) but so much shit was happenin’ to where I didn’t think of it. It’s givin’ me dat “American Cowboy” anticipation so let’s see what we got fa a remix; I KNOW it’ll be GR8 for me to play!!! >>> I thought it would be more like tha Livvi Franc “Automatik” beat or tha “Hostage” beat but this iz still cool. People prolly gon have ta pick this up for exposure. Tha vocals are sexy, especially wit tha “got on my sexy dress. Want you to take it off…” line! :) My Rating: 4.4


07. Dana Rayne “Overload (Buzz Junkies Edit)”
Yes, yes, yes!!! MCD just got this and it was off to a catchy start! I wanted to wait to hear tha rest when I got to review this so here I am now, ready fa tha review! Didn’t really care for her ’03 “Object Of My Desire” remake so this Robbins-signed song should do it!! >>> Tha chorus sounds hot here; HOT beat too! A GR8 mainstream-Dance song here; good job on tha comeback!! My Rating: 4.4
EDIT: On July 17, 2010, at Party 105’s Megajam ’10, she would later become tha first eva artist I eva met!!!


08. Venus Kaly “Myself (Badboys DJs Radio Edit)”
LOL, CAN’T STOP THA HOTNESS!!! MCD has this song and it’s HOT!! >>> Sounds like a different mix for a start; we’ll see what happens here… I wonder what MCD’s mix iz? This iz pretty good too; gotta luv tha vocalizin’! Oh wait, here comes tha “boring beat sound” at 1:03 that I’m not that crazy about (soundin’ a lil’ like David Guetta style). Should’ve been tha MCD mix… My Rating: 3.7


09. Train “Hey, Soul Sister (Karmatronic Radio Remix)”
I don’t know how crazy I’ll be about this one… >>> Okay, a lil’ catchy here for a HM; vocals are good. Tha beat ain’t that bad/pretty good but I’m not really into tha chorus. LOL @ tha “like a virgin, you’re Madonna” line; random, lol? My Rating: 3.5


10. Sariah “Deep N Luv (Tony Moran & Warren Rigg Radio Edit)”
Ooh, ANOTHA REAL HIGH AL!!! Looks REAL HOT and I’m DEFINITELY lookin’ forward!!!!! >>> That sound from TM&WR NEVA dies!! HOTNESS for tha start here and tha vocals DEFINITELY are hella catchy/HOT too!! Sounds REAL HOT wit all those “on tha table” parts; DEFINITELY HOT to tha fullest!!! My Rating: 4.7


11. Shontelle “Impossible (Johnny Vicious Radio Edit)”
Tha new song here from her dat Alexia likes… How will it sound Dance remixed? >>> Slow start and tha vocals are faster. Yup, DEFINITELY a HOT HM here although just like Rihanna (which no less they’re from tha same place), tha vocals are a lil’ too fast… NICE JOB wit tha mix here and it makes tha song a hit fa me!! My Rating: 4.3


½time: This has ta be tha BEST ½time fa a PO!!! Tha average CD rating iz at a NICE 4.3 right now and I HOPE it stays dat way!! I have a feelin’ it’ll change a lil’ but really, WHAT A HOT START wit NOTHIN’ but HOTNESS!!!!!


12. Cedric Gervais “Ready Or Not”
More comeback artists on this CD!! Anything could happen here but I have AL fa this one!! >>> On tha weird side fa me fa a start; where’s tha “space-type” of music he has in his beats (e.g., tha “8 Letters” mix from Late 2007)? Now dat tha beat kicked in around tha :54 mark, I’m feelin’ it; hot style here! :tu Tha vocals should be good now dat there’s a hot beat and a catchy topic on tha line here. Pretty catchy song fa a FL. My Rating: 3.8


13. DJ Dan & Uberzone Feat. Blake Lewis “Operator (DJ Dan & Mike Balance Disco Funk Radio Mix)”
Oh no, even tha DJs gatherin’ Blake Lewis for their songs!! Look what you did, Darude, lol!! >>> LOL @ tha “operator” in tha beginning. I like tha “you dig” part in tha beginning and I’m likin’ this “operator” chorus. I feel like there’s a shitload of shit goin’ on wit this song from tha Discoish style to tha okay vocals to tha catchiness; a lot here. I don’t think it’ll be that catchy to last on my playlist if it was to make it… My Rating: 3.3


14. Nycole Valentina “Flatline (Paul Simpson Radio Mix)”
I feel somethin’ comin’ outta this one!! Mainly because when tha Train song was on here, then came tha HOT “Deep N Luv” joint. Now, this iz after tha lolful “Operator” so I see this bein’ tha shit!! >>> Sounds like familiar vocals in tha beginning; wonder if I know this song? I don’t know this song and it’s off to a pretty good start; I like tha chorus. LOL @ anotha “operator-type” song back 2 back. I wonder how popular this’ll be if it got out there? Tha bridge sounds hot too… It got REAL HOT towards tha 2:37 – 2:50 area!!! Turned out ta be good but just HOT too! My Rating: 4.2


15. Rod Carrillo & Ronnie Sumrall “Rhythm (Klubjumpers Dance Radio Mix)”
They’re back after tha HOT-ASS “Moonshine Rising”!!! Let’s see how GR8 this song iz!!! >>> Likin’ tha start to tha beat here and yea, this iz DEFINITELY ANOTHA HOT one!! Just like tha “MS” start, it had a growth to tha beat!! Sometimes it sounds TOO HOT when you hear tha beat and barely hear tha vocals ‘cause tha beat’s so hot wit tha surround!! SHIT YEA!! There’s NO BREAK in tha beat wit this song!!! :tu Glad RC iz ALWAYS on tha grind wit new music all tha time!! It doesn’t matter if tha people get tha songs; they’re ALWAYS REAL HOT here!! My Rating: 4.6


16. V.V. Brown “Shark In The Water (Static Revenger Radio Edit)”
I kinda heard it play on MCD… I have a feelin’ this iz gonna be a weird one. I thought tha person was a guy ‘til I saw tha name show on MCD where they had a fact sayin’, “V.V. Brown iz Vanessa Brown,” so at least it’s a girl. I think I saw a HM label here so really, anything could happen wit this one! >>> Prolly would’ve expected a lil’ betta fa SR on tha mix; weird soundin’ here. Sounds anticipatin’ before tha chorus… Yea, this iz pretty weird but hella catchy wit tha chorus. My Rating: 4.0


17. Wynter Gordon “Dirty Talk”
I’m assumin’ #17 on tha PODR iz now dedicated to tha non-Dance songs now? Last edition, it was “Licky (Under The Covers).” I have a feelin’ this’ll be hot though. Fact: She was featured on Flo Rida’s single last year, “Sugar.” >>> LOL @ tha Dave Audé sound in tha beginning… I thought I was gonna hear his typical beat at first but this iz pretty hot for a start! Wow, it’s ACTUALLY Dance in tha beat! I guess she’s more Dance than Ke$ha (which Ke$ha was on Flo Rida’s single before “Sugar”; tha “Right Round”). Feelin’ tha beat a lot and tha vocals make it good; I thought it was gonna be on tha Rap-Pop sound like Ke$ha at first wit tha vocals. I hope Pop stations pick this up so they can have a Dance vibe (original version) on their stations!! REAL HOT wit tha “dirtiness” durin’ tha bridge!! What’d I say about this CD havin’ surprises in tha beginning, huh? I was DEFINITELY right!! GLAD err-body wants ta be Dance!!! My Rating: 4.4


18. Robbie Rivera Feat. Fast Eddie “Let Me Sip My Drink”
ROFL @ this title; lookin’ good!! LOL, after tha last song went from Pop prediction to Dance, watch this song be on a non-Dance level; I can SENSE it wit dat content warning on tha CD, lol!!! >>> ROFL, WHAT A GUESS!! I NAILED it as it’s more on tha Rap-Dance style here!! I’m feelin’ this on a good level. Like tha last CD dat had “I’m In The House,” this iz just as good! Cool beat here and tha rappin’ iz gr8 wit a nice rhythm! LOL, it sounded hot towards tha end of tha 2nd verse! :tu Also luvin’ tha extra content warning words here; gr8 shit! :tu I know he spelled his name on tha 3rd verse but I wonder who tha rapper iz? Gotta look him up (EDIT: It’s Fast Eddie)… I kinda like tha Wynter song betta but this iz gettin’ a lil’ higher of a rating from me ‘cause of tha rappin’. My Rating: 4.5


19. Bastien Laval Feat. Layla “Restlessness (Wendel Kos Edit)”
Luvin’ this one on MCD!! I thought I would hear it more on there but they don’t play it too much yet. Ultra was my prediction of who signed this but it was Robbins instead; good look. I got tha original version (and it kinda sounds like a WK production) but will this be different? >>> Yea, different for a start so my AL’s kinda lower… Luv tha “seconds turn to minutes/ minutes turn to hours / hours turn to dayz / world goes ‘round” part a lot! It sounds hot durin’ tha chorus but then, it sounds more cool than a Dance feelin’ once it’s :52. I think it’s a kick-ass beat but I’ll stick wit tha original. I don’t think this mix’ll be anywhere but maybe PFM. Just like tha “Need You Now,” this turned into a more cool mix than Dance-vibe. My Rating: 4.4


20. Delerium Feat. Kreesha Turner “Dust In Gravity (Nervo Radio Edit)”
Looks like an automatic song I’d luv but why 125 BPM? Where’s tha Trance anticipation? I wonder how it’ll be like wit KT on tha track since tha last (and only) time we heard her was on her “Don’t Call Me Baby” song from ’08? >>> Pretty interestin’ here wit her vocals and an okay beat; kinda different style of Dance that came outta this anticipation. Overall, an okay song; above average here. My Rating: 3.8


21. Sandy Vee Feat. Robin S “Straight To The Sky”
A REAL Robin S vocal this time!! Will it be good? Any kinda AL’ll come outta this one fa me… >>> Sounds like a hot start… Iz dat a guy in tha beginning? I guess she’s a grown woman on this HOT-ASS start here!! A KTU song here? Sounds like a comeback song for Dance stations wit it soundin’ like an anthem. Nothin’ else much ta say about it except dat how HOT it sounds on tha beat!! Nice job wit anotha NICE comeback!! My Rating: 4.5


22. Richard Vission & Static Revenger Feat. Luciana “I Like That”
Look how short this iz (only 2:23)… PFM got it so quickly; I wonder why? I’m DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta hearin’ anotha Luciana feature!!! >>> Ooh, no wonder why they got it; on tha rappin’ tip! She sounds hot for her rappin’ but I think this iz too clean fa me; I want a dirty version. Tha blanks are way too long at times but tha chorus at least iz REAL HOT!! Go “graffiti girl!!” :tu Wow, three verses on a short-ass song? That’s watz good! I like this betta than tha Robbie Rivera song; good job on this ending! My Rating: 4.6


Overall: D-D-D-D-DAMN!!!!!! VERY HOT CD HERE!!!!!!! No wonder why it feels like 80 degrees outside!!! Lots of GR8 songs includin’ a **PERFECT RATING**!!! REALLY lookin’ forward ta ALL these songs gettin’ out there; a bunch of them HAVE already!! It gon DEFINITELY be a REAL HOT Summer 2010!!!!!
