Review #1,114: Promo Only: Dance Radio January 2012

Reviewed on 1.01.2012 (Review #1,114)

My 1^st review of 2012…: Promo Only: Dance Radio January 2012. Made it a surprise to not look at tha tracklisting ‘til now; hope we start tha year off real good!! Start Time: 7:20 PM | End Time: 9:38 PM

Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to 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.
 
© 2012 CD Review (Review #1,114) reviewed on 1.01.2012 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.

01. Rihanna “You Da One (Dave Audé Radio Edit)”

Damn, startin’ tha year off wit a HM? Hope that doesn’t jinx tha year into somethin’ negative (last year, “Hello” started tha year off, but at least it was a dance song, which 2011 wound up bein’ real good for me (EDIT: It wound up bein’ one of my worst years))… >>> Off to a boring start, and a lil’ odd wit tha Rihanna flow, here… Not too much of a good combo between Rihanna & DA; “S&M” seemed like a much better combo wit lots of catchiness! …Okay, I’m kinda likin’ tha chorus a lil’, now… Damn, finally, a nice music change at 3:13? What iz this, “Lost It All”, lol? My Rating: 3.5

02. Lady GaGa “Marry The Night (Danny Verde Radio Remix)”

Anotha HM… Prolly’ll get this version since I get lazy to get original versions of semi-good, non-dance songs… Same mixer as “Yummy Boyz”, so I’m kinda lookin’ forward… >>> Interestin’, hot music goin’ on here for a HM, unlike most of Rihanna’s mix! Tha original iz pretty good for its 131 BPM, and this helps it become a better song for me. Definitely a hot chorus goin’ on here; really addicted to this music, right now… Now, MCD: PLEASE get rid of “Born This Way” & “The Edge Of Glory”!!! They’re really old, and she’s got this, now!! My Rating: 4.3

03. David Puentez Feat. Andrea Rosario “Lose Control”

Looks like a hot combo! Tha dude that had tha good instrumental from tha 8/11 CD (“Melodrama”) and tha hot/strong vocalist of “We Own The Night” join together for… >>> LOL, speakin’ of that instrumental, guess it’s got vocals, now? I somewhat had a feelin’ this was gonna happen once I realized who tha main artist was… Ooh, hot vocals; definitely needed some vocals ‘cause tha original barely did good wit me! I think I played tha original about 5x, and had to curve it to about 20-25 spins or somethin’, just to look good. LOL, I thought this was gonna be a song wit lots of lyrics. But, unlike people like Pitbull (lol), this iz at least made into a house song, now, wit nothin’ but tight beats and choruses! May be #3 on tha tracklist but for bein’ tha 1^st dance song of 2012 on this PO iz definitely what’s up!! My Rating: 4.5

04. Kim Sozzi “Crystallized”

Yes, another dance song and another hot dance artist!! >>> Hot, smooth, semi-slow/regular pace start wit tha music! BTW, speakin’ of KS, I was fixin’ up my files from tha past, recently, and I thought deadmau5 produced “Feel Your Love”. But, it was Stellar Project a.k.a. Stefano Sorrentino; thought I’d throw that fact out there since this seems to be produced by a tight producer, too. Anyway, this definitely iz pretty hot! Really likin’ how this sounds, all tha way through! What was her last so—oh yea, “Little Bird” (a remake); this iz much better! Glad we’re off to a really good 2012, based off this CD!! Really likin’ tha verses a lot, here, ‘cause mainly, that tight music iz continuin’ and continuin’! My Rating: 4.5

05. Plumb with Dan Haseltine “Drifting (Mixin’ Marc & Tony Svejda Radio Mix)”

Looks like another hot combo (Plumb & MM&TS on tha mix), but as a duet, too? Another anticipatin’ thing about this CD iz I haven’t seen anyone add anything recently, so I don’t know many of these songs! >>> A slow, hot start, so far; lookin’ forward to hearin’ all tha music and vocals! Hearin’ tha chorus and it sounds pretty good/strong; I like tha previous two songs on here better, but this has that hotness! Now, tha duet progresses from tha chorus to tha 2^nd verse; tight/hotness! Have to say, I’m really likin’ tha lyrics… My Rating: 4.2

06. Porcelain Black “Naughty Naughty (Mr. Mig Elektro-Fi Remix Radio Edit)”

An early surprise? Really looks like it’s gonna be pretty hot wit tha remixer and tha BPM!! >>> Very  hot start wit tha addictive, fast music; interestin’ vocals and lyrics goin’ on, here!! Lookin’ at tha label, and it’s somewhat borderline; gives me more of a dance feel, here. Nice job wit tha chorus and of course, tha hot-ass music iz really what’s up; gotta feel it!! My Rating: 4.7

07. Morgan Page Feat. Tegan & Sara “Body Work (Club Edit)”

Taken from tha clubs, here, lol? Got these alternative artist vocals on here, so it should be pretty hot like how “Feel It In My Bones” was! >>> Likin’ tha different kind of music for tha start; not really like Morgan Page’s sound but it’s pretty hot… Tha length’s a lil’ over four minutes? Hope it doesn’t get too boring along tha way… A lil’ long but not so bad, since I didn’t really lose too much interest… My Rating: 4.0

08. Steve Aoki Feat. Wynter Gordon “Ladi Dadi (Part II)”

Are we “in tha house” for this one? Got tha same BPM as “I’m In The House”, but Ms. Hotness herself, Wynter Gordon, on tha vocals!! Lookin’ forward, especially bein’ 4:46!! >>> Nice and long wit tha intro, like “Lose Control”! LOL, :46 in and it still didn’t start… LOL, where are tha BPMs? ROFL, dubstep goin’ on, here? Takin’ quite a while to have a lot goin’ on, but once I hear tha choruses, they sound pretty hot! LOL, I thought tha title was pronounced “lady lady,” but it’s pronounced “la-di-da-di,” lol! Morgan Page effect? Tha 1^st verse started at 2:48, lol! Oh rofl, I thought it was called “Ladi Ladi”, but it’s Ladi Dadi”. I like tha longness in this song; makes me wanna play it more to tha point where I’m not hungry enough to be satisfied (a.k.a., gotta hear it more to get tha picture)! My Rating: 4.3

09. Hot Chelle Rae “I Like It Like That (Goldstein Remix)”

No, not tha HMs again!! Let alone, 107 BPM? At least it ain’t that long like tha previous songs! >>> Boo, not even a dance sound, except tha SFX. Tha beat sounds good, but way too slow and it could’ve been a better artist on this song. Sounds a lil’ bit like Adam Levine from Maroon 5 wit tha vocals… Ugh, these hot beats!! Wish they were faster!! These are good lyrics for a rap song but lol/’what-tha’ for bein’ pop lyrics… Tha last CD had a slow mix of Kelly Clarkson. If it was a female vocalist, I prolly would’ve gotten more into this. Damn, how many hot beats are goin’ on, here, lol? Because of tha hot beats, I’m not gonna be too harsh on my rating… My Rating: 3.0

10. Denis Naidanow Feat. Juan Magan “Shuri Shuri (Crazy) (Bodybangers Radio Edit)”

And what iz this? >>> Could’ve been okay, at first, but damn, sounds like Spanish lyrics? Beat has a lil’ bit of “Americano” in it? Am I trippin’ wit what I’m thinkin’ everything iz? Now, I hear some Nicola Fasano BPMs/beats, lol? Sounds like a really weird song, in a somewhat-good way, due to all tha elements. Yea, this iz Spanish; yucky-yuck, lol. Funny how there’s no content warning, but “Stereo Love” and “Get Back (ASAP)” get it? Overall, I feel it’s too Spanish for me; definitely not a 4.0 but it qualifies for a lil’ lower than that… My Rating: 3.7

½time: Really likin’ this CD a whole lot, so far!! Pretty shocked to only know I’m only at tha ½ mark! A few semi-ehh songs, but a lot of great material, to where tha average CD rating’s at a 4.1 for me!

11. Adele “Set Fire To The Rain (Moto Blanco Edit)”

Not anotha HM/weird song… I thought tha 2^nd ½ of tha CD iz usually dance-exclusive? >>> No AL for tha mix; thought I might’ve heard better versions out there. I thought this song wasn’t out there, at first, but I see KTU & Z100 have this song (not sure which versions); I need to get back to bein’ updated wit knowin’ what’s what wit tha music business, these dayz; got too much goin’ on. Yea, I’m goin’ on about shit ‘cause I don’t really need to leave feedback to this bleh mix, right now, lol. My 30-year-old cousin passed away, mysteriously (might’ve been overdose) on December 14, and what was on MCD when I found out? Adele “Someone Like You”; what iz with Adele and dance stations?! Gotta quote my boy Al from her previous appearance: “She’s got a good voice but not for the dance world!” My Rating: 2.3 (boring mix; wanted to rate it lower than Michael Jackson “Hollywood Tonight”, lol)

12. Mike Lembo “Can’t Come Down (Wideboys Radio Mix)”

Saw tha label before any of tha ID, and I knew who it was (“Life Of The Party” dude)! Glad he’s got a new song wit Wideboys on tha mix, but how will he sound without Gia Bella and Mike Rizzo? >>> ROFL, another “I’m Not Alone” song…? I think it sounds good, kinda like every other song I heard sample tha same Calvin Harris song… I dunno if I should say, good rhymes or good lyrics for tha ‘party’? It sounds great for me, overall. My Rating: 4.2

13. Avicii “Le7els (Cazzette’s Radio Remix)”

I thought somethin’ else would make a 2^nd appearance on here, not “Le7els”, lol. But, since it’s here and I can say somethin’, I have to say, it’s always on MTV Hits, luckily! MTV Hits had a bunch of mini YECs, includin’ EDM artists of tha year! I thought it was cool that they took tha time out for a list! It was this (and, they played their videos to go with their ranks as artists, not songs):

10. Martin Solveig (MTV Hits showed/played “Hello”)

09. Tiësto (played “I Will Be Here”)

08. Kaskade (played “Turn It Down”)

07. Calvin Harris (played “Feel So Close”)

06. Avicii (played “Le7els”)

05. Afrojack (played “Take Over Control”)

04. Swedish House Mafia (played “Save The World”)

03. deadmau5 (played his live performance of “Aural Psynapse”)

02. David Guetta (surprised he’s not #1; played “Without You”)

01. Skrillex (lol, dubstep artist; really, that much buzz? :? Played “First Of The Year (Equinox)”)

Now, to this mix… >>> LOL, sounds like tha same, only like a dub, or more of a house version; ugh… Ewe, weird music toward tha 1:00 mark… Ahh, too many 7ocals, lol!! An okay mix, although weird, here and there. I might add it as a second mix to get its spins up; maybe… My Rating: 3.7

14. Kaskade Feat. Skylar Grey “Room For Happiness”

Speakin’ of tha EDM artists, lol, surprised I didn’t see anyone wit that song of Kaskade’s that MTV Hits showed (wit Rebecca & Fiona “Turn It Down”); I didn’t get tha chance or bother to get tha song, since it sounded kinda decent, but now, a new song, so let’s see what happens. >>> Sounds good wit some new, unlisted vocals! I didn’t get to play “Eyes” that much, despite me really liking it; it still plays on MCD a lot, so I hear it more than I play it. But, this should do pretty good wit me, too; kinda long but there’s “room for” addictiveness wit this continuation of vocals and tight music, lol! My Rating: 4.2

15. Kerima “Never Settle For Less (Zodiac Radio Mix)”

It’s tha “This Night” girl. I love how MCD got rid of her previous song, as well as a shitload of tha late-night songs, but they can’t stop “Take Over Control”, Usher “More”, Britney Spears, Pitbull, etc. from rotation. :roll :roll >>> Sounds unique from tha previous song; hot voice and even hotter music! Ooh, tha anthemic music kicked in for tha chorus!! Definitely hotness comin’ outta tha speakers, now! Even a lil’ stutter-soundin’ vocals, too; nothin’ but hotness all around!! Tha last song was signed wit tha Phat Planet/Phase One labels and now this iz wit Next Plateau Ent., so hopefully, by bein’ wit Robbins’ next-door neighbors, some better exposure can come outta this? I hope so! My Rating: 4.6

16. Havana Brown Feat. Pitbull “We Run The Night (Static Revenger Mixshow Edit)”

Saw tha label first and thought it was gonna be a repeat song (‘cause I looked at PO: Express a week ago and saw some new dance songs, figuring some would make it this way). No Pitbull in tha ID, lol? Kinda funny, but we’ll see once I hear this mix. >>> He’s kinda in tha intro, still. Even though dance beats, not sure what I’m gonna get outta this mix… Sounds like added BPMs… It seemed to kick in more wit tha original version. LOL, iz this CD fulla songs wit tons of music or what, lol? But, when it was “Le7els”, there were so many vocals, lol? Kinda startin’ to dig tha house feel, a lil’, here… Yea, Pitbull’s in this; lol @ tha error! LOL, she doesn’t have a verse but Pitbull does? How odd… Kinda unique: I expected this to be rapless, but it went completely opposite: singless/Havana Brown verseless, lol! Got me a lil’ hungry, like tha Steve Aoki/Wynter Gordon song, to wanna hear more, so I might help it get spins wit tha original! My Rating: 4.1

17. Chris Lake “Sundown (Lazy Rich Radio Edit)”

What will he have in store? >>> Sounds a lil’ familiar in tha beginning; let’s see if I can ID where I might’ve heard it… Sounds like a big beat; maybe, a mix from MCD? Gotta be; familiar lyrics, too, but sounds pretty hot… Wow, that hot beat; feelin’ like it could be an addiction!! Gotta luv this CD for its house exposure and club mix edits, lol! My Rating: 4.3

18. Farahri “Shake Your Body (Babyboi & Tinman Edit)”

…And, this PO’s for repeat songs! Wow, 3; iz that a record? Or, if you wanna count David Puentnez as 4? Got really addicted to tha remix version! It got over 100 spins wit me in 2011! As for this mix, cool that MCD got it, but it prolly could’ve only stayed on there, instead of bein’ on here, too. I know MCD for gettin’ weird mixes; this doesn’t come close to tha remix version on tha 11/11 CD! Different vibe, still a cool song, but gotta have tha speed, too! My Current Rating: 3.9

19. RCDM Feat. Candace Sames “Yes No Maybe”

LOL, I thought a repeat song was gonna come outta nowhere again, lol. Seein’ that it’s Carrillo Music on tha label, I assume tha artist name stands for Rod Carrillo (who runs tha label) Dance Music (‘cause his site’s dancemusiclabel.com). A girl on tha feature that I don’t know? Tha title looks like a mystery to see what I’ll think of it, lol; I’m anticipated!! >>> A lil’ dry/plain wit tha music, here; let’s see tha vocals… they could be a lil’ better, too; lots of tha title goin’ on? Are we gettin’ another house song outta nowhere, lol? Damn, I expected it to be a “yes” for me, but it seems more toward tha “no.” Damn, 3:57 on tha length? Even at 2:13, it seems too long, right now… My Rating: 2.9 :(

EDIT: Actually, RCDM stands for Rod Carrillo Dave Matthias.

20. Fedde Le Grand “So Much Love”

Hope it’s a good ending… *Checks ID* Oh, a regular dance song/artist, lol? How unexpected; let’s see what’ll go on, here… >>> Oh no, I hear tha vocals; always heard this in Johnny Budz’s mixshow on MCD for a while, now… Behold, another house song for this CD, lol! Nothin’ bad about this, but I anticipated somethin’ new/NHI for tha ending song. My Rating: 3.6

Overall: Seemed like a crazy CD fulla lots of fun and shit, lol! Should we call this PO House Radio? …PO Re-Entry-Song Radio, lol? Anyway, lookin’ forward to gettin’ a lot of these songs to make 2012 a great year for me! I’m actually doin’ my 2011 YEC tomorrow. It’s only 416 songs, due to I didn’t have much time to research, I was fixin’ my iPod & computer, and I didn’t give-in to many underground rappers like I did, previously; many didn’t appreciate my awards or stay loyal/consistent wit me, so now, I make wiser choices!
