Disclaimer: I type how I wanna type (frequent
use of “tha” instead of “the,” “iz” instead of “is,” “a”-ending words instead
of “er,” and a few others). I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my
ratings! As long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it, I like it how I
wanna 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.
Sometimes, I may not rate a song too high on its first listen, but in tha
future, I could be playin’ it more than a higher-rated song…

Lucas & Steve feat. Alida “Another Life”
Label:
Spinnin’
Love
that we’re startin’ this edition off with this collab…! >>> Sounds
like it gon be another exciting one, just like “In Your Eyes” & tha new
Yves V one, from tha last edition…! Sounds like a great lil’ chorus & tha drop’s
pretty nice; yes, definitely a nice lil’ new one ta start thangz off…! Hoping
for a good October, which no matter how beautiful Octobers are, I seem ta fall
apart, when it comes to my current life. With that bein’ said, nice job with
tha vocals, Alida & tha beats are still cool, during tha verses. Of course,
its peak iz tha chorus/drop parts, fa me! My
Rating: 4.5
02.
Martin Garrix x Ytram x Elderbrook “Fire”
Label:
RCA
Looks
like an okay collab? Let’s see what’s good wit Garrix, E-Brook & tha Ytram
newbie, this time round… >>> Sounds like a catchy lil’ track wit tha
combination of tha artists; nice flamin’
vibes from E-Brook, here. Really feelin’ tha energy durin’ tha 2nd ½
of tha chorus & then, tha interesting drop that don’t sound like no typical
blah-blah…! Cool lil’ collab; let’s see how we heat up tha Octo, lol…! My
Rating: 4.3
03.
Sigala feat. James Arthur “Lasting Lover”
Label:
Arista
Always
dig Sigal’, though not Mr. Arth… >>> Cool lil’ Sigal’ start but yeah,
still not crazy about tha Arth… Hearin’ tha chorus and it okay; cool music,
once again, but shoulda been a different vocalist. Like, no luv for tha Sigala feat. Ella Henderson
repeatin’ moment, just like tha J.Lo & Pitbulls, tha Steve Kroeger feat.
Skye Hollands, you know? With that bein’ said, just an okay song, here; Mr.
Arth makes this only a random song for me to enjoy… My Rating: 3.0
04.
Steve Aoki & KREAM “L I E S”
Label: Big Beat/EMG
Label: Big Beat/EMG
Now,
we have titles in tha style guide of not havin’ tha periods? >>>
Hearin’ tha start and it sounds like it’s samplin’ Sunshine Anderson & her
19-year-old “Heard It All Before”, here… Kinda seemed a lil’ dry, especially
wit tha lower-pitched vocals. However, I’m diggin’ tha KREAM beat combination;
great job, y’all—mainly, tha KREAM team! Speakin’ of Ms. Sunshine, tha
now-18-year-old “Easy” w/Groove Armada woulda been big, if it was released
today, spin-wise. Now, this iz, like, its kid, lol…! My Rating: 4.1
05.
Oliver Heldens feat. Kiko Bun “Break This Habit”
Label:
Heldeep/Payback
How
will this sound from tha dry “Details”? >>> Just a lil’ betta but not
bad; props on tha better effort wit tha male vocalist & beats… As it
progresses, it sounds like it’s worth it ta hear, so props on impressin’ me
more… My Rating: 3.7
06.
JES “Under The Midnight Sun”
Label:
Magik
Always
exciting ta see one of tha best dance artists continuin’; that’s how I roll! I
have that saying in an upcoming song I got comin’ soon! For now, can’t wait ta
hear this one…!! >>> Sounds like a good lil’ start & nice ta hear
JES, of course… Sounds like a cool lil’ chorus, too. For an original version,
this sounds cool for what it iz. That chorus could feel catchier, tha more I
hear it…? Think it’s an option! Cool lyrics, too, with that “fire”—this
edition’s all about tha “fire,” like “Fire”! My Rating: 4.3
07.
Tritonal & Linney “Electric Kids”
Label:
Enhanced
Previously
heard for a second but now, here comes an official review/full listen from me…!
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ beginning with these female vocals; anotha
nice collab! Good lil’ chorus & feelin’ tha strong beats fa tha drop! Neva got ta add tha previous song wit Brookey-Brooke,
from tha previous edition. Almost wasn’t sure what happened at 2:31 but I guess
it’s a lil’ random breakdown interlude or somethin’… Nice lil’ addition; always
gotta have an Easter egg, somewhere along tha line…! My Rating: 4.5
08.
Alok & Vintage Culture feat. FAULHABER “Party On My Own”
Label:
Spinnin’
What
could this be…? >>> Anotha cool lil’ male-vocal track from Alok, here;
nice triple collab! Cool lil’ sound, just like “On & On”, only more on a
dance vibe… Also, if you combine Vintage Culture’s 1/20 effort of their “In The
Dark”, I can see why these two blended together to make this… My Rating: 4.0
09.
Felix Jaehn feat. Nea & Bryn Christopher “No Therapy”
Label:
Casablanca/Republic
Got
out there on my outlets, already… An okay/good lil’ mainstream dance track,
pretty-much… Drop cool; I’ll give it a thumbs-to-tha-up, somewhere along tha
line. Glad ta hear anotha Bryn track, after only knowin’ him off tha Sigal’
& Bryn collab, courtesy of Dance Radio March 2016. Now, we got
this; good lil’ vibe to “live it up!” My
Rating: 3.9
10.
Kito & ZHU feat. Jeremih “Follow”
Label:
Astralwerks/Capitol
Nice
ta see anotha track from Kito, after tha successful-then-vanishing “Wild Girl”,
courtesy of Dance Radio December 2019. Now, we got this; been seein’ it
around. How interested should I be…? >>> Sounds like a cool collab;
I’ll give tha three of them a big thumbs up, here… Likin’ this one a lil’ betta
than tha Felix Jaehn triple threat… Jeremih comin’ through wit anotha
triple-threat feature; feelin’ his pre-choruses & shit…! My Rating: 4.1
½time: Sounds like this
edition’s off to a nice start; I feel what’s goin’ on, here…! Let’s hope it
gets mo & mo exciting, courtesy of tha current 4.0 ½time rating…!
11.
Chico Rose & Afrojack feat. Azteck “Speechless”
Label:
Wall/Spinnin’
Oh
boy, this… When tha critics come through wit their reviewz & bash its
MEDUZA-soundin’ vibes, especially tha lil’ drop… Either way, to each iz catchy,
I guess, lol? My Current Rating: 3.6
12.
HALIENE “Walk Through Walls”
Label:
Black Hole
This
one should be exciting; can’t wait ta hear…! >>> A lil’ bit of a slow
start but then, it picks up, including some catchiness…! Oh, a lil’ slow on tha
drop; sounds like tha 132 BPM was cut in half. Oh, now that I watch my Louisiana producers
produce, they produce in double-time. Basically, that’s how this came about?
That’s how tha logic works, now that I see it… Kinda turnin’ into a sahara,
when it comes to tha dry pace, durin’ most of tha track… I mean, cool, though a
lil’ too slow for an obsessive liking. Either way, definitely nice with how she
sings “through” tha “walls!” My Rating: 3.8
13.
Deniz Koyu feat. Jess Bell
“Without You”
Label:
Protocol
This’ll
prolly be a cool one; thought I mighta seen this somewhere? >>> Yeah,
this sounds nice with these female vocals & this dance vibe…! Luv tha
consistency Mr. Deniz iz bringin’ to tha 2020’s, after grippin’ his comeback on
tha end of tha 2010’s with his “Enemy” banger…! Tha vibe & its good dance
vibe makes tha future seem interesting, I guess, lol? I mean, tha title? I’ono…
Either way, definitely anotha good one…! My
Rating: 4.4
14.
Lost Kings feat. DeathByRomy “Hurt”
Label:
RCA
What
do we have, here…? >>> Soundin’ like it’s real catchy (maybe?), in tha
beginning, between tha vocals & beats! Usually, tha Kings have been kinda
slow. However, this upbeat dance vibe with this Au/Ra-meets-Ava-soundin’
DeathByRomy sounds pretty dope. As far as tha chorus, it’s okay…? Maybe, I have
to get used to it? Just felt like tha verses were much more catchier, which iz,
like, tha opposite of L&S & Alida, lol… My Rating: 4.4
15.
Steve Aoki & Frank Walker feat. AJ Mitchell “Imagine”
Label:
Ultra
This
one all over, as well; prolly just a regular-soundin’ dance track, even tho
he’s makin’ an extra appearance on this edition. However, extra appearance,
different labels; rare opportunity, lol… >>> Sounds like a good lil’
track wit these male vocals; just a regular-soundin’ track, basically. Tha drop
sounds cool; this iz tha future, I
guess, lol? My Rating: 3.8
16.
Tyler Shaw “Remember (Madism Remix)”
Label: Sony Canada
Label: Sony Canada
Not
too sure what to expect… >>> I see someone with a name like this &
their sound reminds me of tha James Arthur voice; I’ono… Either way, tha beats
are kinda cool… Seemed more exciting durin’ tha 1st verse, climax
& chorus than tha drop… Either way, not too bad of a track, here… My Rating: 3.9
17.
BTS “Dynamite (EDM Remix)”
Label: Big Hit/Columbia
Label: Big Hit/Columbia
Don’t
know what I wanna think about these overrated boyz… >>> An okay song
but if my full-time job just ended & there’s no access to listen to music
while workin’ tha full-timer, then tha spins & luck of feelin’ tha songs
that are out decrease? Seems like tha ethics, though this edition’s pretty
nice, so I can’t lie about that… My
Rating: 3.2
18.
NEA “Some Say (Felix Jaehn Mix)”
Label: Milkshake/Columbia
Label: Milkshake/Columbia
Chick,
lol…? >>> Yeah; she sounds like a cool lil’ new chick. Sounds like an
okay mix from Felix, here; cool chickness, basically, lol… Iz it me or I can
tell this sounds like a pop song, since it wants to sample “Blue” by Eiffel 65,
lol…? Then again, because it’s currently hidden in this mix, I think that’s a
good lil’ added vibe to tha track/mix. Nice lil’ bridge with tha vocals, too;
oh, lol, trapped in tha blue! My Rating:
4.0
19.
Anabel Englund “Picture Us”
Label:
Ultra
Oh,
nice to see her on another edition & generatin’ $ucce$$! >>>
Quicker intro, this time round? Funny that less-than-2:40 has an easy chance to
be shortened below 2:20, this time round, lol… Either way, of course, luv
Anabel; a lil’ slow & dry for me to love-love but it’s still cool, of
course. Lol, so short that it ended so fast…! My Current Rating: 4.2
20.
Wafia “Good Things (R3HAB Remix)”
Label:
Atlantic
Hoping
for “Good Things,” right? >>> Sounds like a cool lil’ dance-meets-soul
vibe, here… Likin’ when tha beats kick in with tha vocals; sounds “good,” here…
Tha drop & chorus sound “good;” all about tha “good!” Cool lil’ track/remix,
here; keep ‘em comin’, Waf! My Rating: 4.3
21.
Illenium feat. Annika Wells “Nightlight”
Label:
12Tone
Ending
with a traptastic Illenium? >>> Uncredited vocals; why do I feel like
I have a guess, from what I remember? *Checks* Yup, wow, instantly correct with
tha Annika Wells guess! Tha hidden vocalist from tha 2/20 edition, thanx to
Midnight Kids & their “Run It”! With that bein’ said, this sounds cool with
tha vocals & how tha beats build up, throughout tha verses & chorus.
Tha drop cool; I digz it, for an Illenium one. Really likin’ how tha 2nd
drop has more of a heavy rock guitar sound; definitely nice for a pre-drop
feel, for a 2nd round…! My
Rating: 4.2
Overall: Seemed like this was a
nice edition. Definitely felt what was brought to tha October 2020 tables,
here; definitely nice! Gonna keep tha faith & hopefully, listening to music
while working will return! Gots to have some sorta better frequency of
listening to nothin’ but tha best…!
