01.
Chocolate Puma x Pep & Rash “The Stars Are Mine (Short Radio Edit)”
Spinnin’
Deep, here, ta kick thangz off! At least it’s new; I’ll say that! How will we
start this CD? >>> Well, it sounds like it’ll be a special start,
here; definitely nice and continuously upbuilding!! Nice lil’ vocals to define
this track, right chea! Definitely feelin’ all tha beats!! Oh, really feelin’
tha hidden energy and everythang wit this one!! Definitely sounds like a dream
successfully comin’ true!! My Rating: 4.8
02. Bastien Laval feat. Layla “Souvenir (tyDi Mix)”
A
new Robbins release, here; sounds like it gon be nice! Only one hit for tha
dance world in 2010 and now, it took seven years? Crazy! Anyone can come back,
ya know?! I hate when people wanna give up, just like tha situation I talked
about in tha beginning of this review, smh! Sounds like a grown lil’ follow-up
to “Restlessness”. Oh, and speakin’ of 2010 and seven years ago, could you
believe I was tha same age as tha current age of my best friend, Cory, right
now, when “Restlessness” came out!! Too crazy!!! Nice lil’ vocals and tha beat
sounds pure, in its own wayz! Chorus ain’t too bad, here… Nothin’ bad to say
about this one!! My Rating: 4.5
03.
Katy Perry feat. Skip Marley “Chained To The Rhythm (Marc Stout & Scott
Svejda Remix Radio)”
Think
it does need a remix! A good lil’ twist, most-likely, with these remixers! But,
an infamous length!! Capitol, here… >>> Likin’ tha start for a remix,
here; definitely a plus! I like this in my own wayz, too, even tho I expected
different… Deep house-type feelin’ and vibes, here… Oh, secretly, Skip Marley
appears on tha uncredited feature! Nice lil’ edition and interesting remix,
overall (in its own wayz)! My Rating: 4.2
04.
KATO & Sigala feat. Hailee Steinfeld “Show You Love”
I
think this anotha decent one, courtesy of Casablanca…
I think Hailee sounds good for tha dance world, too! *Re-listen…* >>>
Likin’ it a touch better, here, with tha vocals and beat sound… Again, just
like tha Katy Perry remix, tha deep house-soundin’ drop’s ehh, but it’s decent…
Coulda been better with tha music but tha vocals are definitely nice for tha
dance world! My Rating: 4.0
05.
Solano & WAO “Lately”
A
new AfterCluv-signed song, here; can’t wait to hear!! >>> Sounds
pretty dope wit tha quiet start! Hearin’ some male vocals, here, and it’s
decent, so far; might have to get used to it, tho… Almost thought I heard it
when tha chorus struck outta nowhere! Wow, much better than I thought!! Lovin’
tha drop to go with this!! Perfect comeback to a song rating, almost!! Dope-ass
dubbin’ after tha drop, too!! Shit’s too tight!! Oh, gotta love tha chorus and
its euphoriq feelin’!!! Definitely a major plus, here!! Always gotta have tha
best vibes!! My Rating: 4.9
06.
Tujamo “Make U Love Me”
Spinnin’
in tha buildin’, here; let’s see… >>> A longer intro than I expected
(well, via tha back cover!)… Sounds a lil’ mysterious wit tha vocals, here;
almost sounds like “Immortal” (Fedde Le Grand & Erene (10/16 PO))… Kinda wantin’ to like it in a certain “way…” Kinda
sounds like a plain drop, here; I’ono… I guess some things are betta than
nothin’? Kinda sounds Don Diabloish? Just decent, overall; not sure how it
should be, tho… My Rating: 3.7
07.
Fenix feat. Chris
Casino “All Around The
World (Fenix Dance Radio Edit)”
Will
I be able to treat it better than “Satellite”? Started to really like that one
but didn’t show it too much luv, sadly… Carrillo in tha buildin’, here!
>>> Kinda sounds like it’d be a rap remix or somethin’? That was my 1st
impression; let’s see how this goes… Kinda was ehh about tha vocals and tha
chorus, but tha drop’s real nice, I think!! I really like that vibe a whole
lot… I’ono about tha dubbin’ in this one, tho… Not on tha same level as tha
Solano collab! Still, weird that this iz weird-soundin’ rap-like vocals, mixed
with some mainstream lyrics and then, a dope-soundin’ drop, lol! My Rating: 4.3
08.
Sean Finn & Chris Willis “Come To Me”
Wonder
how this collab gon go, courtesy of Selfie Tunes? >>> Decent start and
vocals… I’m sadly driftin’ off about my Doe-Doe argument that happened,
earlier; it hurts… But, nice lil’ drop, here; positive and decent, overall…
I’ono, but this happened, earlier, when I was listenin’ to premieres before
this CD. One song sound depressin’ to listen to… Now, it seems like this one,
sadly and randomly, smh! It sux not bein’ important to people! Wish I’d be
important to certain people!! Like, really!! Glad you guys think I’m important,
at least! Y’all put me in y’all newsletter two years ago! Definitely tha pure
present!! My Rating: 3.8
09.
The Chainsmokers & Coldplay “Something Just Like This”
Oh
boy, this iz where we go downhill… Disruptor & Columbia on tha label…
*Re-listens…* >>> Not really into tha artists my mom or my late
brother’s girlfriend likes; I’d rather it be for them… Not really likin’ to be
reminded about my late brother for certain things… In my guilty pleasure
perspective, this ain’t too bad on tha 1st verse… Tha chorus sounds
like it can be tha male-anthem version of “Paris”? Decent lil’ drop but yeah, I neva
woulda thought Chainsmokers would have as much success as they’d have after
“#Selfie”! Anotha April Promo Only edition!! My Rating: 3.6
10.
Galantis “Rich Boy (Edit)”
Let’s
see this Big Beat follow-up to my favorite one of theirs, “Pillow Fight”!!
>>> Always with tha weird, kiddy-soundin’ vocals… Still, anotha nice
one, here, just like their other ones… I know they’re always guilty pleasures
but this they’re usually nice ones! Can’t deny tha beats! At least it sets a
positive vibe, here… Still couldn’t believe how different their previous song
was and how much I liked it!! That’s them edibles for ya!! My Rating: 4.1
½time: Sounds pretty nice, here!
I didn’t expect there to be so many really strong ones, already!! A 4.2-rated
CD, so far; definitely nice!! However, how will it continue? I feel tha bad
trend comin’ back, again…!
11.
Calvin Harris feat. Frank
Ocean & Migos “Slide”
Oh,
boy… Neva would I have thought we’d come to a Promo Only: Dance Radio edition where
Migos would be a part of it!! We really fusin’, now! Courtesy of Columbia, here comes
this… Of course, it’s gonna be big ‘cause of all tha fused genres (dance,
deep-house, pop, disco, EDM, trap, rap, R&B, shittiness, etc.)… As for me,
I thought it’d be a lil’ faster or a full-on trap song… I like to think it’s
unique, even tho it’s ehh… Those vocals are bleh… Sounds ridiculous wit all tha
auto-tune, especially wit Migos… Luv how random it sounds wit all them migos of
Migos rappin’, here… My Current Rating: 3.0
12.
RUNAGROUND “Can’t Afford It”
Anotha
one from him, luckily! He was able to
“afford it!” Too bad this title reflects my whole situation from earlier! Neva woulda thought “it” would get to tha point where I
was more financially stable!! Anyway, Enhanced, here, and this a nice lil’
Music Choice Dance add! Couldn’t find “it,” at first. Now, here we are!
Surprised how much they luved tha “Chase You Down” song! Haven’t heard a big
Robbins song in so long! Now, how will this do? Definitely nice wit how he
comes through wit tha vocals and all tha beats, of course! Nice lil’ chorus,
too! My Current Rating: 4.5
13.
Zedd & Alessia Cara “Stay”
Oh,
boy, lol… Def Jam & Interscope, here, and just like tha Calvin Harris
collab, this on tha same level, as far as my interest… I just don’t get it with
all these artists tryin’ this slow dance-music shit… Not feelin’ tha slow
chorus with not much goin’ on, as well as tha warped vocals… Yeah, not feelin’
tha drop, neither; too slow and poppy for my taste budz!! Tha 2nd
verse sounds like Kygo’s music; ehh… Zedd was better than this! My Current Rating: 2.2
14.
Sophie Francis “Without You”
I
have a feelin’ tha 105 BPM gon hit it in a huge
way!!! Spinnin’ on tha label and it’s 9:09!! That’s my best friend’s birthday!!
>>> Ain’t expect tha male vocals, here… Kinda gives me that vibe of
“Not Going Home”, tha DVBBS collab from tha 1/17 edition! Tha chorus ain’t too
bad, even tho I gotta get used to it… Wow, tha drop reminds me of “Our Way”
(FTampa feat. Kamatos, anotha 105 BPM track) that I wound up lovin’!!
Interestin’ mix between tha two songs that I really cared about, earlier in
December - now!! I really thought it was gonna be a female singin’, but this
still nice wit tha male! “I’m still high without you;” exactly!! Nice lil’
faster ending in tha hi-hats, too, lol! My
Rating: 4.6
15.
Cash Cash & ROZES “Matches”
Anotha
one I just heard on Music Choice Dance and it’s pretty nice, too! One thing I
do love iz that every song ROZES iz on, somethin’ related to smokin’s on tha
song, somewhere! Lol! “Roses” = “Smoke a lil’ weed…;” “All Of Me” = “Blow your
smoke…” “Matches” = tha title! Anyway, Big Beat & Atlantic, here, and it
sounds like tha middle of life, I guess? This where my best friend locked up
and I’m havin’ tha highest of tha highs, lowest of tha lows! Gotta dig tha
vocals, lyrics and nice lil’ drop goin’ on, here! My Current Rating: 4.4
16.
Mr. Probz “Till You’re Loved”
Ultra,
here; ewe @ this… I’ono… >>> Yeah, sounds like it gon be a lil’ ehh
from tha start, here… No more Remix Radio Edit or somethin’; an original
production, this time… Nice lil’ beat but I still don’t really fuck wit him…
This one’s makin’ me kinda depressed, too… Kinda have to say that tha
weird-soundin’, dubbed drop’s tha best part of tha song… Not really any
interest in this and like I said, it brought tha demons back in my brain!! My Rating: 2.8
17.
Mike Posner “In The Arms Of A Stranger (Grey Remix Edit)”
Oh
no, it’s somethin’ I tried hearin’ for tha 1st time, earlier… I
ain’t really fuck wit it… Here we are, courtesy of Island & Republic…
*Re-listens…* >>> Yeah, not into tha whole acoustic guitar shit in tha
beginning, here… Kinda wanna take it for a serious lil’ upliftin’ vibe, but I
can’t dig this pop vibe… Luv how it tries to get dance-y as tha chorus
progresses… Sounds like a familiar sound to their previous release, “I Miss
You”… Did it just skip around 1:11? Now, this song’s got my mind thinkin’ ‘bout
how I gon achieve my 10-year dream in seven dayz!! Crazy shit!! My Rating: 2.9
18.
Afrojack & Luis Fonsi “Wave Your Flag”
AfterCluv,
here, with anotha one I’m iffy about… However, I think this gon be tha best
outta tha three songs (16 – 18)… *Re-listens…* >>> Likin’ tha whole
dancehall vibe, here, surprisingly. When it’s a dance artist, I get more of a
dance vibe of tha genre it sounds like… Tha chorus pretty nice wit tha representation
of tha wavin’, here; even tha drop’s
pretty nice, in a way… I think tha music on tha verses iz tha best, tho;
definitely feelin’ its euphoric vibes… It’s that Moombahton! My Rating: 3.9
19.
San Holo “Light”
Here
we are, with a pretty nice one! Tha labels bitbird & Columbia, here; gotta luv it! Too bad there’s
no intro in tha beginning, here? Weird… Definitely pretty nice but I’ont like
that it’s right at tha edge of my boy gettin’ locked up! Surprised it got
exposure before tha March 7th arrest, of all dayz! Definitely gotta
feel tha vocals and those beats are pretty kick-ass during tha verses but more
tha climax and drop!! Sounds like this radio edit’s missin’ tha interlude, too?
Weird… My Current Rating: 4.7
20.
Tim Legend feat. Brave “Hope”
Thought
I mighta seen this on Party 105 but it looked different? I’ono… Ultra, here;
let’s see, here… >>> Sounds nice wit tha female vocals, here… I’m
definitely diggin’ those beats at :30!! Sounds like this gon be a pretty catchy
track! Maybe, I couldn’t find it, at first? Mighta confused it with anotha
song… Kinda has a Louis The Child / Evalyn “Fire” feel to it; definitely nice!
Overall, this a nice lil’ slow track wit a nice, echoin’ vocal ta be hypnotized
to… My Rating: 4.2
21.
SeeB & R. City feat. Chloe Angelides “Under Your Skin”
And,
endin’ anotha PO with anotha big one!!! Like, anotha edition wit a ***PERFECT RATING***
one!!! Chloe Angelides on tha uncredited hook, here; definitely nice! Courtesy
of Island, here, 1st got a taste of
it almost three weeks ago when Party 105 premiered it! Funny how in tha
beginning, you can hear R. City say, “Chloe Angelides,” secretly, lol! Caught
that once I found out it was her! And, surprisingly, on tha last April CD, we
had “Breathe” (SeeB & Neev); so huge
wit me!! Now, we have this, a year later! Definitely gotta dig tha music, those
Jamaican-soundin’ vocals throughout tha whole track! Also, tha huge chorus and drop!!! Pure top-notch
quality!! Just gotta luv tha positiveness at all times!! It’s almost like if my Louisiana trip’s expectations had anotha try
at gettin’ re-evaluated, this track would be it, tha rating!! A fuckin’ perfect
score, once again!!! Oh!! It shorter ‘cause tha fade-out was shortened, at tha
end! Lol, PO used to go all tha way and now,
they shortenin’ ‘em, lol! My Current
Rating: 5.0
Overall: Two songs I’m surprised
ain’t make it on here were Kygo & Selena Gomez “It Ain’t Me” and a new one,
which may make a future PO, Tom & Collins & Whitney Phillips “Mutual”…
We shall see for tha future, tho (mainly for “Mutual”; “It Ain’t Me” too
poppy)! But, neva would I have
thought this CD would average to at least a 4.0!! Have to say, this was pretty
nice fa tha wounded month I’ve been havin’!! Lots of top-notch bangerz, despite
a few songs I wasn’t big about…
