Review #1,127: Promo Only: Dance Radio February 2012

Reviewed on 2.01.2012 (Review #1,127)


Kinda lookin’ forward to this… Promo Only: Dance Radio February 2012 review. Start Time: 4:05 PM | End Time: 6:07 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 #1,807) reviewed on 7.20.2019 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. Example “Changed The Way You Kiss Me”
Looks like somethin’ interestin’, especially to start it off…; I’m lookin’ forward! >>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ beat start… Not bad wit how this sounds, so far; definitely catchy wit tha lyrics. Thought I’d hear a hotter beat on tha chorus; how can tha verse have a hotter beat? Ooh, rap style on tha 2nd verse; definitely nice! Wow, now that I hear tha 2nd chorus, it sounds even hotter for me; lookin’ forward to seein’ this do good for 2012, hopefully! Hotter beat after tha 2nd chorus, too; shit yeah! My Rating: 4.3


02. Daniela “Love Me Enough To Lie”
Yes, a no HM zone!! Kinda glad that MCD played “You & I” a lot, like, eight months in heavy rotation, I think? Pretty nice… But, you already know I’m really lookin’ forward to tha follow-up!! >>> Anticipatin’ start; sounds better once tha beat kicked in at about :21! Sounds like a catchy chorus, too; good job, Daniela! Tha rest sounds pretty good, too. “Y&I” may’ve been a lil’ catchier, but at least she ain’t a one-hit-wonder, and like tha “Summerfish”/”Every Word” Daniella (two L’s), this iz another potential song to get out there! My Rating: 4.3


03. Benny Benassi vs. Marshall Jefferson “Move Your Body 2012”
May not be HM, but a cover, “2012” style. Kinda ‘ehh’ for tha original, back in tha ‘80s, so let’s see if BB can add a nice, “2012” touch to it… >>> I have to say, definitely a hot start. I hear some of tha original-soundin’ beats once tha title comes… I dunno how called-for this was, but whateva, at least it ain’t wack. This iz really 3:38? Could’ve clocked right under tha 3-minute mark and I would’ve been fine… My Rating: 3.9


04. Pitbull Feat. Chris Brown “International Love (Jump Smokers Radio Edit)”
Uh no, some inconsistency… Tha original version’s beat sounds like “Break Your Heart” (Taio Cruz/Ludacris). Plus, do we need another “___ Love” song? Tha only difference wit this one iz that it’s not Romanian! :roll: I don’t think JS on tha mix’ll make this novelty-soundin’ thing any better… >>> Really don’t need to comment; that Chris Brown voice ain’t for my iPod, 2012 style! Should just stay in tha pop world; original versions wit 120ish BPM don’t need to ALL be mixed for tha dance world… LOL, silly-soundin’, but catchy beat from JS after tha chorus… Unfortunately, there’s nothin’ special about these lyrics; rather hear a dance artist have these lyrics than a rapper, smh. My Rating: 2.8


05. Neon Hitch “F U Betta (Dave Audé Radio Edit)”
I’m really lookin’ forward to hearin’ this!! Glad she’s gettin’ exposure on dat “Ass Back Home” song by Gym Class Heroes, which iz on pop stations. She wanted a “bad dog” last season and now, she sayin’, “Fuck u,” lol? >>> Even though she’s 25, she’s got a young-soundin’ voice; some peeps say she sounds like Britney, lol. “Still got my dignity;” that’s right! Oh wait, she’s not sayin’, “Fuck u,” she’s sayin’, “I can fuck u betta,” lol! Ironic dat tha last February CD had Casely “Neva Fall” (“neva” instead of “never”). Now, this has “betta” (for “better”); looks like my urban spelling’s randomly appearin’, lol! But yea, I think this iz pretty catchy, wit a dirty twist! Sounds like a catchy mix from DA, and this dirtiness and vocals are really a turn on fa me, lol! ROFL @ tha ending!! Hot shit!! My Rating: 4.4


06. Dominatorz & Bassmonkeys Feat. Amanda Wilson “Don’t Throw It Away (The Sound Of Freedom Radio Edit)”
Now, we got a ‘z’, lol. This looks like it gon be a high AL but who’s TSOF? Iz that a second part of tha title? Hope Bob Sinclar didn’t have ta do wit this ‘cause this looks like it gon be hotter than him!! >>> Almost thought it was recycled vocals from AW in tha first few seconds, but it sounds like a real hot beat start!! Now, it sounds like Benny Benassi music; definitely on a catchy note, here!! Will this be considered House? Lemme keep hearin’… Already hearin’ tha chorus again; wow, hotness!! Pretty addictin’; huge song fa 2012? My Rating: 4.5


07. Eva Feat. Tyga “Body On Mine (Mixin’ Marc & Tony Svejda Radio Edit)”
Tha follow-up to “Ashes” (“ring around tha rosey” song) that hit tha Top 10 in my 2011 YEC, lol.  Now, a mix of a mainstream, Lil’ Wayne-type rapper and some consistent dance mixers to make me feel anticipated… hopefully!! >>> Kinda like a Neon Hitch start; sounds real hot and sounds like she turned 21 (was 20 when “Ashes” was out)? Definitely feelin’ tha hot start!! Wow, definitely a hotter beat than tha Plumb collaboration from tha last CD!! Whoo @ tha hot beat!! Glad we got a consistent amount of addictiveness goin’ on, here!! Sounds like there’s a shitload of anticipation and appreciation goin’ on, here, as tha song progresses!! :tu LOL, once Tyga jumped in, tha beat turned dubstep or somethin’, lol. A lil’ ehh for tha lyrics, but wit those hot-ass beats in tha background, you can’t deny it!! My Rating: 4.8


08. MNDR “#1 In Heaven”
Now, tha gay community, lol? Like tha 12/06 PO, Nemesis (gay boy group) had a song called “#1 In Heaven”; if this iz a cover to it, I will lmfao! >>> Sounds like a nice dance start… Sounds like good, original lyrics… LOL, sounds more like a pop artist than a dance artist, but then again, it’s Ultra on tha signin’… Good thing this ain’t a cover; soundin’ like a regular, catchy dance song… Almost reminds me of Nervo “We’re All No One”, a lil’, wit tha vocals ‘cause of tha ear-catchin’ sound, lol. My Rating: 4.1


09. Outasight “Tonight Is The Night (Mike Rizzo Radio Edit)”
Looks almost like my slang on tha artist name, but it looks like another cover title? Hope it’s not, especially since they hired MR to mix! >>> Oh yea, what tha…? No wonder why I recognize this: KTU has it. I went to sample it and I was like, “Another pop song by an unknown artist that has that ‘a-lil’-over-100-BPM’ feel;” I forgot that it was on here… Wow, seein’ tha record label killed tha AL; too much like a pop song that can automatically make it. ROFL, it has “mafucka” in tha lyrics, lol! Hot beat, which iz acceptable, but nothin’ I’d die for… Tha rappin’ on tha verses sound like Gym Class Heroes’ Travie McCoy on tha vocals, mixed wit ICE MC’s rappin’ style (wit tha fastness). I think this’ll break into my playlist, but it prolly won’t be huge… My Rating: 4.0


10. Kelly Clarkson “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) (7th Heaven Radio Edit)”
I think this’ll be tha hotter HM vs. #9, but tha original version sounds like another guilty pleasure in tha pop world, lol. >>> Of course, beat’s definitely hot; equally hot like #9! Hope a dance artist w/7H can come back soon! Soundin’ really hot after tha chorus; whoo! When there’s a 7H mix, it always sounds like #1, easily! Easily can’t deny it; tha beats are takin’ ova, lol!! My Rating: 4.3


½time: Soundin’ like a real hot PO, like Februarys tend to be, but I think it’s gonna be a lil’ short; I’ll explain dat after tha Lucas Prata song. But, 4.1 for tha CD rating’s pretty hot, minus tha “International Love”!


11. Criminal Vibes Feat. N.U.M. “Save Me”
New Robbins song, here; what else can I say but high AL? >>> Hot start; I have a feelin’ this’ll be betta than Daniela! Robbins songs battle, February 2012 style!! Wow, definitely a hot-soundin’ chorus!! Oh, I thought I was gonna hear a rapper when they said, “What’s that?,” before tha 1st verse. Ooh, sounds like a duet, and it’s really on-n-poppin’, here! Even got tha PO content warning ear, lol (“take ya clothes off” dirtier than tha Tyga verse from tha Eva song)! Ooh, tha 2nd verse sounds a lil’ like Vika Jigulina wit tha beginning vocals; hotness!! My Rating: 4.4


12. Jessie J “Domino (Jump Smokers Radio Edit)”
Another JS mix… Too bad PO didn’t get her breakthrough song from last year, “Price Tag”; I had a Nevins mix of that song and it was nice, last Summer. Now, I…dun…no…about…this… >>> I thought she was gonna be a one-hit-wonder, but for some reason, this song’s bigger? I don’t think… Could’ve been a hot HM, like tha Kelly Clarkson one, but JS iz on tha mix, so it’s kinda sour. :( Tha beat sounds hotter, here, than tha Pitbull one, though, but ehh for a HM… These 4:00 – 4:30 lengths of JS mixes make tha remixes sound boring… My Rating: 3.5


13. Tom Noize Feat. ST “My Face”
Time for some Sylvia Tosun-label music (SeaToSun Recordings); they always have some quality dance music, although I don’t know what I’m expectin’ from this title, lol! >>> Another pretty hot start that I’m lookin’ forward! Beat has a nice feel, like tha Daniela song, so far… Vocals sound really smooth for a start, and catchy… Soundin’ like a hot Spring anthem; very hot wit tha music and vocals, combined! That’s what you get when SeaToSun signs it! My Rating: 4.3


14. R.I.O. Feat. U-Jean “Turn This Club Around (Video Edit)”
SMH @ this “censored” in tha ID, lol; this ain’t Swedish House Mafia/Knife Party “Antidote”. But, anything could happen if it’s Ultra Records signin’… >>> Oh no, “California Gurls”-soundin’ start. Oh fuck, they said, “swagger”? Should be a skip after I hear that word! Really hate how rappers use that word, instead of “style;” it’s so 2010s, which I hate (“swag” for short, too)! Wow, should’ve switched this wit Lucas Prata and then, I would be like, “A bunch of consistent ehh…” Beat iz like pop, only wit dance BPMs; these vocals are gross!!! I can bet MCD gon beast this; they’ll prolly be like, “Wow, finally, a new hot song from unknown artists!” Yea, fuck my life! Thought tha unknown artists were betta than a HM but this iz just as bad; if not, worse. My Rating: 2.5


15. Lucas Prata Feat. Lenny B “First Night Of My Life (Pop Radio Edit)”
Looks like P105 (no longer Party FM)’s on this song’s dick, in a way… I love how they get no new music (no Kim Sozzi “Crystallized”; barely saw them play “Le7els”), but I saw they played this, already? Go back to dance and get off KTU’s nuts, lol! But, wit Lenny B as a feature/producer (?), I’m thinkin’ this iz gonna have a pop feel (like tha mix), since most rappers/artists do that, today (Rapper featuring Dance Artist, or Chris Brown Feat. Benny Benassi)? >>> An okay start; that’s it. Okay, at least tha real LB dance beats are after tha chorus; definitely hot, but I know there were better songs from this CD! Whether P105 got this or not, expect this to be P105’s best dance song (that they got first) of tha year, lol. Props to tha positive feel, here; tha ending sounds like it’s gonna go into a build-up, but ends, lol? My Rating: 4.3


16. Gavin DeGraw “Not Over You (Jason Nevins Radio Edit)”
I feel like tha CD’s over now. What’s left iz HMs, non-dance artists & repeat songs. But, this could be a good HM, since it’s tha fastest on this CD, and that my mom likes tha original, to where it’s startin’ to sound catchy. >>> Kinda okay, but nothin’ too special, overall… Sounds like a cheap way to be 134 BPM. Plus, PO forgot tha ear? I know they luv puttin’ it on songs wit “damn” and “hell”, which was said multiple times, here, lol. Kinda was a one-hit-wonder back in 2004, but after he got into some sorta accident, or somethin’, last year, seems like tha pop world gave him another chance, lol? My Rating: 3.2


17. Qwote Feat. Pitbull “Same Shit”
I assume that’s “shit” in tha title (just says “****”)? I wouldn’t’ve recognized this artist but because I was cleanin’ and fixin’ my files over tha Fall, they’re from ’08. Lemme look in my iTunes for more info about ‘em before I hear this… Nope, 2009-aired song on Party 105, but it’s an R&B artist; thought it was a rapper. But, Pitbull makes two appearances on PO, once again, lol? >>> Scary vocal start; what’s gonna happen wit tha beat? Just like GD, previously, what a cheesy waste of 131 BPM…; what made Ultra sign this, after Qwote was previously signed to a major? Random how this has a dance-soundin’ sound; from R&B to this, huh? I thought it would be worse, but it’s better than tha two songs I rated under 3.0. Thought I’d hear another Pitbull part, but whateva; above shitty, overall. My Rating: 3.3


18. RLP & Barbara Tucker Feat. Lil’ Jon “R.E.S.P.E.C.T. (Remix Radio Edit)”
Even though I knew tha CD was kinda dead, when I saw tha “Remix Radio Edit” in tha ID, I was like, “Ooh, like Farahri “Shake Your Body”?” But then again, prolly not. We got a “Most Precious Love” wit tha crunk man of gold teeth himself, Lil’ Jon, on tha feature? What, iz this gonna be a disco, crunk/down-n-dirty squaredance or somethin’, lol? >>> I knew tha title was gonna be Aretha Franklin, but really, it’s her original voice? Yea, I was right about tha disco sound; what made Lil’ Jon wanna be in tha beginning? :confused Then again, that’s Barbara on tha vocals, maybe, lol? Tha “&” throws me for a loop…; sounds almost alike, lol… Kinda liked tha original, in a way, so this iz kinda a 2012 boost, in a way; tha hot beats are there. Oh, house music; everyone wants to make it, it seems like? “Paris to Atlanta to London;” yea, Lil’ Jon, how’d that collaboration happen? You’re tha “Atlanta” one, lol. My Rating: 4.2


19. Traci Lords “Last Drag (Andre Jetson Radio Edit)”
Random re-entry to PO, lol? Addicted to tha Razor N Guido mix from tha 11/11 PO, which it has been in my countdown quite often (currently at #4). Another mix hit one of tha PO Express DFFs, but if tha RNG mix iz pretty addictin’, this betta be a good re-entry if it’s tryin’ to compete!!! >>> Kinda sounds like RNG, a lil’, wit tha beginning beat… Good for a 2nd mix; not bad, PO… No ear on tha RNG mix, but now, an ear? Don’t hear anything different, since “ass” iz still censored. Well, thanx to this bein’ another good mix, looks like this gon be pretty high up on my 2012 YEC, havin’ both mixes play on tha same playlists! LOL @ tha mixin’ lyrics toward tha ending. My Rating: 4.3


20. Porcelain Black “Naughty Naughty (R3hab’s Pacha NYC 6AM Remix Radio Edit)”
LOL, another re-entry; tha #1 song on my countdown, right now (tha Mr. Mig mix from tha last CD)! LOL, another mix wit seven words in tha mix? Funny (previously: Mr. Mig Elektro-Fi Remix Radio Edit). Once again, if this iz gonna compete wit a really GR8 mix from tha previous CD—despite it bein’ R3hab, which has lots of tight beats, it betta be worth tha re-entry… and, to end this CD off!!! >>> Cool/odd beat for tha beginning… wow @ tha 129 BPM transition… Sounds okay for a 2nd mix, but doesn’t beat tha previous mix. MCD got a Razor N Guido mix, but I prolly prefer this for tha #2 mix. Even though it sounds like a breakdown on tha chorus, tha beat’s pretty hot, as always! ROFL @ tha sounds after tha chorus; hella tight, and so random for this song that has different tight beats in tha Mig mix!! Love how this mix has an ear vs. tha previous mix; PO error on their previous mix ‘cause it does say “hell,” lol. Oh wait, weird; tha bridge iz taken out (that has “hell” in it), here; weird, weird, weird!!! My Rating: 4.5


Overall: Wow, I have to say that I really enjoyed this CD, despite there bein’ a few turds, lol!! A lil’ betta than January’s? Not sure, but it’s definitely in tha competition!!
