01.
Calvin Harris Feat. Florence
Welch “Sweet Nothing”
Surprised
a collaboration again happened so fast. Florence
iz obviously tha lead singer of Florence
+ The Machine, and Calvin remixed their “Spectrum (Say My Name)”, which caught
onto me just two months ago. Now, it’s Calvin featuring just her, and it seems
to be (maybe) gettin’ out there, such as MTV Hits and MCD. Lemme give it a full
listen and see what I have to say. >>> Tha intro almost sounds like
“We’ll Be Coming Back”. Not much to say about tha 1st verse, but tha
chorus, I guess, iz gonna be tha best outta this song? I know tha “Spectrum”
song has a better, anthemic chorus than this. This one’s music’s prolly equal
to “WBCB”, here. This may do slightly better than “WBCB” for me, but I don’t
think this’ll do too good by tha end of tha year ‘cause I’m gonna be really
tied up, not listenin’ to much music… My
Rating: 3.8
02.
Christina Aguilera “Your Body (Papercha$er Remix- Radio Edit)”
Let’s
see how this mix’ll turn out wit tha $$$ on tha mix. >>> Okay start,
but it hopefully will pick up toward tha chorus/after tha chorus? I guess it’s
a good beat for tha chorus, but I’m still waitin’ on some excitement… Hearin’
tha after-chorus part, and it sounds good, even though I thought there were
gonna be more tight beats, like on tha previous remixes… Then again, this iz just
a HM. Ahh, dubstep breakdown, as always, lol… My Rating: 3.8
03.
Kat Graham “Wanna Say (Fred Falke Radio Edit)”
Let’s
see what’s after “Graffiti”… >>> Ehh, sounds a lil’ disco-y; I’d
thought I was expectin’ better for tha remixer… Either way, good vocals as a
switch-up to “Graffiti”. Overall, not that
bad for me… My Rating: 3.6
04.
Dragonette “Let It Go”
A
lil’ more on tha yucky side, and older, too. Barely got spins wit me back in
tha summer/news station dayz. Also, tha beat and tha vocals sound either off
beat, or nothin’ lines up exactly; I originally was like, “What’s goin’ on?”
Like, where’d tha chorus come outta, and there’s not really any catch to it… My Current Rating: 3.0
05.
One Direction “Live While We’re Young (Dave Audé Radio Edit)”
Wasn’t
sure why they made this CD again; lol @ me not knowin’ who they were on tha
April CD and now, they’re, like, Bieber status… >>> Good chorus and
hot beat for a HM, but nothin’ too excitin’ for me… However, it may be better
than tha four songs I just heard… My
Rating: 3.8
06.
The Saturdays “What About Us (Seamus Haji Radio Edit)”
A
new artist and a somewhat-anticipatin’ remixer; lemme see what this iz about…
>>> Ehh, boring music start and it’s soundin’ like a HM. If I can
remember, it’s signed to one of those HM labels. This iz only okay for me;
could be better wit spins wit me than an actual rating, but for tha review,
nothin’ too excitin’, again. My Rating: 3.4
07.
Sam & The Womp “Bom Bom (Fear Of Tigers Radio Edit)”
A
MCD add, and I think P105 got it. Lemme rehear this one ‘cause I think it was a
toss-up for me… >>> Sounds weird; I dunno if we wanna call this
rappin’ or pop bs. Sounds like good music, even though tha vocals are really
weird. However, I did like tha chimpanzy sound effect, lol. Some of it can be
catchy, but as far as great songs on this CD, this ain’t up in tha 4.0s. Seven
songs in, and no 4.0s, still… My Rating:
3.7
08.
Kaskade Feat. Haley “Llove (Dada Life Radio Edit)”
“Motherfuckers”
(lol) on tha remix; that makes me think it’s gonna sound more MCE-y, so lemme
hear this for tha 1st time… >>> Yea, not 100% dance on tha
beat like I expected… Likin’ tha verse a whole lot wit Haley and a change of
beat! Yea, it’s a “remix;” she must’ve known, lol? Never heard tha original
version; I was gonna listen, but I figured it would be on here, so I waited. A
lot of these songs have been really quick, so far; this one flew by, but it’s
tha first 4.0 for me. My Rating: 4.1
09.
David Puentez Feat. Cerésia “Nobody
Falls”
Finally,
a high AL, and I’ve been waitin’ to hear!!! >>> Yes, real good start, and it only gets better
wit tha chorus!! Ooh, very nice music
wit a lil’ bit of a rock sound, at times! Nice “blow me away” part between tha
vocals and beat, too! What a nice way
to uplift a shitty mood! This chick must be hot; hope we hear more from her!
Glad to see DP on his grind, even though he should have way more exposure! Hate
how no one got “Envy”. :( My Rating: 4.7
10.
Meital Feat. Sean Kingston “On Ya (R3hab Vocal Edit)”
I
hope this iz gonna be a real good remix. Who would’ve thought it has been a
whole year since “Yummy Boyz”? >>> So far, decent start, even though I
despise SK bein’ on this; what made Meital Dohan wanna team up wit him? Just
wanted his part to end ASAP when hearin’ tha original, but this iz a nice
remix, and his part didn’t last too long! LOL, tha music after tha chorus
sounds like a sports event or somethin’, lol, how random! Also, added beats;
very interestin’… Love tha consistency of tha music and bits of tha chorus continuin’
‘til tha end! My Rating: 4.4
½time: Real slow beginning for
me, but it picked up once #8 came along; only a 3.8 for tha CD rating, so far, but
I think it’s gonna pick up!
11.
Neon Hitch “Gold (Ralphi Rosario Radio Remix)”
[Didn’t
get to do a preview…] >>> Hot music start; lookin’ forward to seein’
what this iz! *Checks ID* Ooh, tha return of NH; almost forgot she was on here…
Of course, havin’ a nice remixer helps for a good song/HM, and this sounds
catchy wit her hotness/vocals! Tha chorus ain’t too bad; very catchy vocals and
music combination! Lookin’ forward to this gettin’ out there; it “betta,” as
she says! Music change at 3:02; let’s keep this goin’! My Rating: 4.5
12.
Carmen & Camille “IDGAF (Reidiculous Remix Radio Edit)”
Not
givin’ “a fuck” on tha title, lol? I
think I had some AL
for this ‘cause it was a new label? Let’s see this… >>> Not bad for
tha start; can’t complain. Tha chorus sounds like a HM house party or
somethin’… Ooh, likin’ tha music after tha chorus and random vocal parts; good
shit! Tha rest sounds good; almost didn’t have much of a catch on tha verses,
but tha chorus gets a plus, and tha after-chorus parts! My Rating: 4.1
13.
Julissa Veloz “Overload”
Back
in tha #13 spot on another November CD, lol (she had it in ‘10’s November CD)?
No remixer for her for tha first time, so I wonder what this’ll sound like?
Lookin’ forward! >>> Nice start wit tha original dance music and her
vocals/’dance’-type lyrics… Nice job wit tha chorus, too; ooh, there’s pluses
here! I like those claps and then, tha high-energy beat before tha chorus! A DS
breakdown, and she sounds like she’s rappin’ toward tha end; didn’t expect
that! Good, but lol @ people goin’ faster on tha mic over DS when DS iz
originally supposed to be near-½ dance’s BPM (but vocals are sometimes
delivered in that 140 BPM range, I think)! My
Rating: 4.3
14.
Nelly Furtado “Parking Lot (Fagault & Marina Remix)”
What
could this be? >>> I dunno about a dance remix, but this sounds catchy
for a song, itself. Yea, good for a song, and not bad for a remix. However,
dance world? PO? Naw… Also, a lil’ too long; I
thought this CD was filled wit really short songs? My Rating: 3.6
15.
Joshua Micah “When The World Ends (Sted-E
& Hybrid Heights
Radio Edit)”
[Didn’t
do a preview…] >>> Sounds like a HM/rock song? I think it’s soundin’
catchy… Recognizable chorus? Lemme see tha ID. *Checks ID* NHI, and iz it tha
same label as Julissa? Oh naw, actually lookin’ online, and it’s Sylvia Tosun’s
label; weird. I swear, I thought this would be a pop label… Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse and I’m really likin’ those keys, dance beat, and these mysterious, new
male vocals! My Rating: 4.2
16.
Kreayshawn “Go Hard (La.La.La) (Dave Audé Radio Edit)”
Wonder
what this iz… >>> Ooh, sounds hot and catchy for a start; likin’ tha
“go hard” shit! Almost thought it was tha “Loca People” vocalist in tha
beginning, but this new lady sounds tight! Sounds like silly lyrics, but they
sound hot on this beat! Damn, anotha DS breakdown? How many has been on this
CD? Definitely a real-catchy chorus;
real hot!! LOL @ tha “take your jacket off” to this “silly girl;” all about goin’ “hard!” My Rating: 4.6
17.
Grace Valerie “Don’t Wanna Be Waiting (Timothy Allan & Loverush Radio Mix)”
Looks
like a high AL
wit tha remixers; lookin’ forward to hearin’ this one!! >>> Nice start
wit tha vocals; hope tha music gets better, which it’s buildin’ up as I type…
Hearin’ tha chorus, and tha music’s top notch wit these vocals! Definitely
somethin’ nice to hear; good job! Lookin’ forward to tha rest of this, too! Tha
music breakdown after tha chorus ain’t too bad; I think tha chorus tops it for
what’s best outta this song… Yes, anotha chorus; real hot!! My Rating: 4.4
18.
Parachute Youth “Can’t Get Better Than This”
What
could this be? >>> Vocal trance beat start? Sounds like some random
vocals; I think this’ll be catchy… Sounds like somethin’ interestin’ signed by
Ultra, finally… Not too bad, overall, even though these vocals can turn into
tha ones that have to grow on you. Music can be a lil’ repetitive, but I like
tha deep feeling in it, at times. My
Rating: 3.9
19.
Gina Star Feat. Laza Morgan “I Want It Now”
This
looks like somethin’ good for a new collaboration; let’s see what we got here…
>>> Why a male rock sampleish start? Now, there’s rappin’, and it’s a
guy? I thought this was two females? Dude sounds like will.i.am from Black Eyed
Peas… Ugh, why a slow beat on tha chorus? Iz this 128 BPM or 64? Make up your
mind! How iz this signed to tha same label as “Diamonds In The Sky”? Sounds like
Ultra would’ve signed or somethin’… This can be hit or miss wit me in rotation,
but I’d prolly pay attention to it, a lil’, if someone got it. My Rating: 3.2
20.
Cara “Yolo (Bryan Todd vs. Mr. Mig Radio Edit)”
Tha
last song, and one that I prolly have almost-near tha most AL for. Somethin’ about it and that title…
Lil’ background about tha title: First heard about it in an underground rap
song; thought it was a dead person’s name, but what it iz iz an acronym for “You Only Live Once,” and mainstream rapper Drake was
tha one who came up wit tha acronym just last year. Wit that bein’ said, this
looks really anticipatin’, especially wit tha remixers? Hopefully, it’s a
female this time, lol! >>> Of course, gotta luv tha beginning beat;
new, mysterious music? Not bad wit tha 1st verse, but that chorus
sounds nice; great new girl, here! This sounds like it can borderline toward a
HM, but it’s good to have some “Yolo” in tha dance world, lol… Oh God, anotha
DS breakdown! Again, anotha set of rappin’ on it, too; funny how that’s
everyone’s approach when somethin’ breaks down to DS… My Rating: 4.4
Overall: Wow, that was fast; only
took me 82 minutes to get through this. Well, I think this turned out to be
good, overall; there were a good amount of great ones for me; not much of tha 2nd
½ disappointed me… I think there were too many HM-like songs, but there’s a
good amount of music on here…
