Good
afternoon, as I enter my 1st review at Age 37… Promo Only Dance
Radio August 2025! As much as I was so happy to go to Saint Croix, USVI
fa my birthweek last month, I have to say, tha post-effect of tha success has
been very bittersweet. I went with McClain & as awesome as most of tha trip
seemed to be, unfortunately, it had some fake sides that really hurt me. While
playin’ back 337 songs I called FTLD’z Women of Age 36 (June 21, 2024 – June 21,
2025), this was tha 3rd year I tried playin’ tha songs back. While
tha past two years featured upper drugs to enhance gettin’ through each entire nostalgic
set, I was in Mount Rushmore fa 2023 & Hawaii fa 2024. Since our truck
accident from last year, McClain had advised me to be drug-free around him.
Well, tha perspective was SO FUCKIN’ FAKE & I will NEVER advise tha
perspective ever again!! We started playin’ tha songs back 81 minutes later
than I wanted to, due to him oversleepin’. Then, since he wanted me to “incorporate
girlz” on tha Saint Croix trip, I gave him his wish, but he would have multiple
intermissions throughout tha set, to where so much tyme passed on by. Durin’
tha 1:00 AM hour, he wanted to go back to tha Airbnb to “get a lighter,” since
his lighter ran outta fluid. When I went to have him go get it, after tha 166th
of 337th song, he said to me, “I’m goin’ ta lay down. I’m Black; I
don’t ride around in tha car at night, unless I’m on tha highway.” Tha trick
really left me mentally hurt, to where 171 songs didn’t get spinned! I had
plenty of stories ta share, between our success & hard tymes ta look back
on. Also, since then, after we flew back tha same day, we barely talked on tha
phone. He even went as far to say, on tha 3rd anniversary of my
violence, from June 26th, “U are not my leader, nor my bank account.
I have nothing because of you…” Of course, seein’ a song like “No Broke Boys”
bein’ on here & blowin’ up, he iz tha definition of a “broke” boy!!
Cash App alone, between features & helpin’ him out, I’ve sent him $32,000.00+,
throughout tha years. That don’t even include all tha credit transactions while
with him, over tha years! As much as I’ve been hurtin’, I do know that for Age
37, it seems like I’m headed in a direction where it’s mainly gonna be about
tha solo work/trips I do. I love explorin’ & travelin’ by myself & I
feel like it’s only gonna get betta from here. Fa now, just work/sleep till tha
paychecks come in, from tha full-tyme… That’s why, I had to wait till now ta
review this. About half of this release either iz songs that remind me of tha Saint
Croix trip or songs that were ‘posed to premiere on my birthday, from tha POOL
Player. Too bad those premieres were only added, but neva saw a Saint Croix premiere,
smh. With that bein’ said, let’s see how I can handle this review, as I
progress with Age 37… Start Tyme: 7.17.2025
@ 2:37 PM | End Tyme: 7.20.2025 @ 8:57
PM
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.
Sometymes, 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…

01.
AFROJACK, David Guetta & Martin Garrix feat. Amél “Our Time”
Label: Spinnin’/Major/Warner
No matter how much Saint Croixness was in my way, mentally & musically, still, here comes a brand-new song ta kick off this edition! Just caught it only yesterday on Liquid Todd’s #betaBPM, but it still gon feel like a fresh review… For a quartet, here, it sounds like an anthem for tha stadiums & festivals! Speakin’ of, seein’ Sammy Virji at tha Forest Hills Stadium tha day b4 I went to Saint Croix was its own awesomeness in its own way!! A mentality like no other that was too awesome!! Loved tha fire/effects/lights, all that, surrounded by buku people!! >>> Instant start that reminds me of a Bonn-like collab for a Garrix track… Tha 1st verse progresses its way to tha anthemic sounds of tha chorus & good, uplifting vibes of tha drop! Definitely nice & even tho it seems early for me, “I” do “believe that this iz” my “tyme”! I can’t hang with many, these dayz, so I stick to just myself… With that bein’ said, tha 2nd verse keeps this anthemic anthem goin’… Definitely appreciate its stadiumic energy, to tha fullest…! My Rating: 4.2
02.
Swedish House Mafia feat. Plan B “Wait So Long”
Label: SUPERHUMAN
Got to see this one appear out in tha world… Alwayz awesome fa SHM’s energies, as well as their good/better-soundin’ male vocalists! Sounds like a good lil’ chorus, especially with tha whole waiting game of their “love”…! Also, tha drop’s pretty nice; definitely feelin’ it! That lil’ verse/bridge a lil’ ehh with tha extra backing vocal, imo… Felt like it sounded like it was fine durin’ tha chorus… My Current Rating: 4.4
03.
Marshmello, Ellie Goulding & AVAION “Save My Love”
Label: Joytime Collective/Interscope/ICLG
One of ___ of a Saint Croixtastic tyme that’ll most-likely never come again. Every song that was startin’ out/brand-new deserved every memory & quality memory, at that! As far as this track, I’m definitely diggin’ Marshmello’s faster vibes, here… Alwayz sounds okay with Ellie on tha vocals, but betta anticipation while faster… Definitely tha vibe to be at, but tha hurting definitely makes me feel either major nostalgia in tha future or pain, right now… My Current Rating: 4.3
04.
David Guetta & Cedric Gervais “A Better World”
Label: Atlantic UK/Warner
Saw this one get out there… Not too-too sure how it exactly sounds, so here’s Guetta 2nd appearance on this edition, already…! >>> Seems like an okay start; sounds like an R&B vocalist, on tha female vocals? Tha chorus ain’t bad & tha drop sounds like summer, I’d say. Nice lil’ regular-paced track, here… Tha 2nd verse ain’t too-too bad; just a regular dance track, basically. My Rating: 3.9
05.
Chris Lake feat. Harper “Savana”
Label: Black Book
I have ta say, no matter how dark or low tymes may get in my world, within this past year, thank God fa these faster tracks! At least that keeps my happiness progressin’ through this annoying future…! >>> Sounds like anotha mysterious female, here… Likin’ tha faster start & am likin’ tha “less stress” part… Sounds like a good lil’ drop, here; gotta feel tha honor of tha faster tracks…! Likin’ that 2nd verse, as this continues… That 2nd chorus & build-up somethin’ a lil’ more serious!! Definitely feelin’ tha energy on this one & hope it enjoys tha summer…!! My Rating: 4.4
06.
MK feat. Chrystal “Dior”
Label: Columbia UK/Ultra
*Puff* Such a McClain title!!! I got him Versace, Versace, Versace items to manually recover what he lost in tha truck, within this past year!! With that bein’ said, this’ll suck up all tha Saint Croixness, McClainness & all that! As far as tha track goes, MK alwayz keeps it goin’ for the dance world of today, yesterday, yesteryear, yesterdecade, all that! Luv that this Chrystal vocalist from “THE DAYS” iz gettin’ on more tracks, includin’ this one…! Definitely feelin’ her hood-like perspective with tha lyrics; what a “hustler,” lol! My Current Rating: 3.8
07.
Loud Luxury “R U DOWN?”
Label: Casablanca/Republic
Not too-too sure if I’ll anticipate this one… >>> Ehh, a decent start with tha music, but these male vocals aren’t hittin’ too-too much, yet… Tha build-up on tha pre-chorus sounds pretty nice, but still sounds like somethin’ that has to grow. Tha drop has good effort, at least; let that energy out! Tha rest of this ain’t bad, as tha energy continues… *Tries to look up vocalist & sees a “McClain” as a writer…* Nah, I’ll leave it blank & realize I’m not stoned on purpose from what I’m seein’!! My Rating: 4.0
08.
DVBBS x Abi Flynn “Move A Little Closer”
Label: Ultra
Got to see this one on #betaBPM, yesterday, as well as its Diplo’s Revolution add… I think this an anticipatin’ one & I definitely enjoyed Abi’s debut collab on Nathan Dawe’s “Here In Your Arms”, durin’ a tyme that literally reminds me of goin’ to New Jersey wit McClain to tha Versace store! My determination iz way too high for people to understand my passion for what I love, who I love, etc. & it hurts me deeply when it’s not taken serious to tha heart! >>> Definitely feelin’ those vocals in tha beginning & I instantly recognized ‘em, as soon as I heard ‘em! Music’s nice, but sounds a lot betta durin’ tha chorus & build-up to tha drop!! Definitely feelin’ tha constant-craving of Abi sayin’ tha title part…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s nice to enjoy, as well…! Can’t wait fa this one to keep playin’ out there! Definitely an awesome collab & one to get addicted to, I feel like! My Rating: 4.6
09.
Disco Lines & Tinashe “No Broke Boys”
Label: Good Good/Nice Life/Atlantic
So sappy!! So Croix-y!! So McClain-y!! As far as tha song, like, literally, goes with him with wantin’ money, money, money! I found out an hour b4 this review that McClain’s two girlz dumped him ‘cause he “couldn’t pay they phone bill” & tha other “lives too far,” just an hour away! Like, he LITERALLY got HIT by this song in reality!! See what I’m talkin’ ‘bout! I only am gettin’ hit by it, based off tha love I had for him, as an artist & person! Glad Tinashe can’t stand a “broke” boy! Crazy that this iz even faster than tha average track, too! Doesn’t sound like somethin’ that would be big, but it seems like it’s inescapa-fuckin’-ble! Even only one verse & a whole surrounding of tha chorus! My Current Rating: 3.7
10.
ZULAN feat. Clairo “Forever”
Label: Mercury/Republic
If Saint Croix wasn’t enough for me, add Long Island, New York City & Atlantic City to this song’s memories wit McClain! As far as this appearin’ on this edition, I’m likin’ tha extra intro part! Also, ZULAN iz an interestin’ new artist, so I’m anticipatin’ more of what she has to offer! Cool beats at 135 BPM, as well as these vocals & vocal chops! Tha “on, on, on…”ness! What else more can I say? This song’s really gettin’ its exposure & I hope it continues to feel appreciated, in tha world! Also, nice lil’ added outro part to tha last 15 seconds, as well…! My Current Rating: 4.5
11.
Anabel Englund “King Size”
Label: Ultra
Lmfao!! Drivin’ on tha left side of tha road with this anthem, Frankie!! So Saint Croix-y!! I luv how Anabel steps up tha sexuality with tha references of tha chorus! “King Size…” […], “queen vibe…” […], “6-9…,” you know? Cool music, tho; luv how it’s 130! Definitely gives Anabel not just a hotter look & sound, but it doesn’t suffer in boringness! Goes good with Kiesza’s newest, “Stays In Bed”! My Current Rating: 4.4
½tyme: It’s 3:27 PM & even
tho only 50 minutes went by, I’m gonna resume this 2morrow. I guess tha
memories & everything drainin’ me? Or, do I feel confident about tha
doubletyme, this weekend? I think I just wanna know tha doubletyme iz
confirmed, so I can have more energy! With that bein’ said, this 4.2-rated release, currently, sounds awesome
& nostalgic, tho hurts my soul, at tymes. Glad most of tha Croix ones are
outta tha way, tho I forget exactly how many familiar ones are left… McClain
gon feel some serious Frankie withdrawals when I pay him tha last
$5,900.00 worth of features! I gotta break away & let his 42-year-old self
be more responsible for himself! I need my happiness to come first! That’s how
I’m comin’ fa Age 37! With that bein’ said, I’ll be back sometyme 2morrow fa more…!
*Pauses review at 3:32 PM on 7.17.2025…* *Returns at 8:07 PM on 7.20.2025…* A
lil’ bit of a transition… I decided to sleep through tha following day, where I
texted McClain about me mentally hurtin’ & he texted back, “Stop hurtin
Frankie, I apologize, I just been goin thru a lot, but u not the cause of my problems.”
That’s an awesome effort, which iz really appreciated. I only got overtyme &
was off tha full-tyme not yesterday, but tha previous night. I went explorin’
to take pics & videoz for 18 hours, 44 minutes, so I slept most of tha 19th
away. Now, I’m back & ready to complete this, with a better mental state…
12.
Kenya Grace “Mr. Cool”
Label: Major/Warner
At least I feel a lil’ betta about right now than previously… Got excited when I set this to premiere on my birthday durin’ my Saint Croix trip. However, by you-know-who not stayin’ continuously awake, I couldn’t premiere it & it affected me. As far as tha track, itself, I don’t consider it too catchy & am not sure how it’s gonna do in tha mainstream or dance world… Sounds like an okay effort, though I like tha title/“Mr. Fine” part, on tha chorus. Not much to say with tha other parts of tha track; I feel like she sounds a lil’ on tha quiet/shy side, here. Now that I think about it, with all these “girlz” & “I bet he’s with somebody” really hints who McClain iz. My Current Rating: 3.6
13.
Tate McRae “Revolving Door (Lavern Remix)”
Label: RCA
Didn’t expect a fast Tate to follow? At least it’s a 138er & a post-Croix song for me…! Can’t wait ta hear anotha faster Lavern! >>> Sounds good for tha start, between Tate & this fast-quiet start from Lavern…! Likin’ tha chorus with tha “Revolving Door”; definitely sounds cool…! Also, tha drop with tha faster/stutter-like drop-chop!! Definitely real dope!! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty nice; definitely enjoyin’ tha fastness, throughout tha verse’s part! Tha bridge ain’t bad, with all tha “more” parts. Guess it builds tha hype for tha 2nd drop? My Rating: 4.5
14.
George.Alexander “Like I Do”
Label: Robbins
Didn’t expect a new Robbins track, artist & a 133er to come up, as well! I hope my excitement can pave tha way for this track & its 146 seconds worth of…! >>> Good start with tha faster music, here… Felt like it was gonna be a lil’ bit of a risk for me, with tha male vocals. However, do I feel lucky with tha 133 BPM, at least? Not too-too sure if I feel all tha “I” parts, as tha pre-chorus/chorus… Tha drop, funny, sounds dry, even tho it’s 133 BPM. At least it ain’t no 124 BPM-type slap-house! I feel it more with tha “do…do…” part, especially as tha drop ends with that music! Tha music even follows throughout tha 2nd verse; definitely cool! Ahh, tha “I” parts, again…! I think I can get past ‘em… I like tha 2nd drop, to end thingz off! My Rating: 4.4
15.
Warren “Déjà Vu”
Label: Robbins
More of Robbins, back to back! Anotha fast one & I’m glad Warren stepped in to that awesomeness! Definitely well-deserved fa him! Got ta hear this one on tha POOL Player right after tha Croix trip… Awesomeness, though reminds me of tha hurt I’ve been goin’ through. I should feel betta about it, if it starts to get out there… With that bein’ said, these female vocals definitely sound hot/awesome, for this faster Warren! Tha chorus pretty nice & strong, as well as tha drop! Definitely feel tha passion & durin’ tha bridge, it reminds me of Malou, how she sounds…! My Current Rating: 4.7
16.
Lucas & Steve x LAWRENT x Izzy Bizu “Oh My Lord”
Label: Spinnin’
Want to anticipate this newbie & trio collab, now that I feel betta about myself…! >>> Sounds cool in tha beginning; gives me a good house vibe… Kinda likin’ when tha climax hits, durin’ tha chorus! Pre-Preparing for tha drop! Tha drop cool; not much to say about it, at a regular 128 pace… Tha verse sounds good, here; sounds like an awesome world of Izzy, when I hear her… Tha 2nd drop cool, too, just progressin’ through… Nothin’ much else to say; at least it’s a thumbs-up! My Rating: 4.2
17.
VASSY “Hazy”
Label: LESIXTYNINE MUSIQUE
Lol @ tha label name, capitalized style… Alwayz nice to hear a new VASSY track, so let’s see what this one gon bring… >>> Not too-too bad; sounds a lil’ different for VASS, here… More like a rappin’/R&B style, on tha vocal style? Mainly, just decent for me; dunno how it’ll do in tha dance world. Likin’ how she feels tha “Hazy” high, durin’ tha 1st verse, as well as tha “energy” havin’ some sorta check mark or somethin’, on tha 2nd verse. Glad she can verify tha “energy.” My Rating: 3.5
18.
Surf Mesa & Zeeba “Energy”
Label: Breakaway
Let’s see how tha Surf comin’ with this brand-new collab & slower track… >>> Sounds like a better start to tha music than VASSY, with a male on tha vocals… Tha pre-chorus sounds nice with tha music growin’ with excitement, durin’ its build-up to tha chorus… I like how VASSY was talkin’ about “Energy” to where this iz tha title of this track, following her! Tha chorus sounds catchy, includin’ tha music! Nice goin’ with tha sounds, Surf! Tha 2nd verse sounds good; definitely diggin’ tha excitement throughout tha music & sounds, continuously!! Tha bridge sounds good with its “Energy,” as well…! My Rating: 4.3
19.
KSHMR “Wild Ride”
Label: Dharma/Spinnin’
Y’all forgot tha “H” in Darma, accordin’ to tha label, I see…! As far as this goes, I like how “Energy” followed VASSY & now, KSHMR follows Izzy Bizu, since their previous song was their collab, “Diamond In The Rough”…! >>> Instant start with a female on tha vocals, here… Sounds okay, though I would love to hear KSHMR on some faster stuff, for tha new… Sounds much betta with tha drop at 0:47!! Definitely cool with tha music, there! Good lil’ transition to tha 2nd verse, which sounds a lil’ like a Tate McRae, at tymes… My Rating: 4.1
20.
Sigala & Jaxomy feat. Ilan Kidron “Riptide”
Label: b1/Ministry Of Sound/Ultra
I believe tha “b” in B1 lower-case, lol. Only 122 BPM, here; let’s see how this trio gon sound… >>> As soon as I heard tha “lady” part, in tha first second/word, I almost thought it was gonna remake Modjo, lol… Guess it’s an okay chorus? Dunno how much I can catch on to this… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it ain’t bad; just seems okay. Tha chorus almost reminds me of that bluegrass-y sound of Avicii, in some wayz… Tha drop ain’t bad, with an okay set of repeatin’ vocals… Tha 2nd verse sounds a lil’ betta with tha music, here… My Rating: 3.7
21.
Cheat Codes & Edward Maya feat. Enisa “Be Your Friend”
Label: Helix
Whoa, what a combo of people, here! You got CC, who are alwayz active & their “Find Love Now” really got me through all my accident shit with McClain. Then, you got EM, who only was on PO once with his “Stereo Love” Vika Jigulina collab, on tha 3/10 edition! Finally, you got Enisa, who had her one PO appearance on tha 11/14 edition with Kaskade (“Tears Don’t Fall”), released one day after tha accident with McClain! Seems like it can be a gumbo pot/typhoon-type of collab, here!! Love how tha edition started gettin’ slower, then a 131 BPM track like this comes to premiere & go hard…!! >>> Oh, no wonder where tha EM appearance comes from! Total new version of “Stereo Love”!! Love tha beginning, as well as tha Enisa vocals, on tha 1st verse!! Definitely much happier than tha post-accident tymes of “TDF”!! Definitely luv tha chorus & what a brighter way to progress through how lazy & drained I felt, from tha beginning of this edition!! Talk about a total 360-type of feeling!! Definitely lovin’ this & anticipatin’ tha 2nd verse progressin’, too!! Oh, just luv tha energy, altogether!! Tha lyrics about tha title part & “no more” followin’ it remind me of tha future with McClain, though! Pretty eerie, but tha eeriness tells tha future, at tymes! I’ll perfect-rate this one, since it caught me off-guard! My Rating: 5.0
22.
David Guetta, Hypaton & Bonnie Tyler “Together”
Label: Warner
Endin’ it with a 3rd appearance from Guetta, here…! Dunno how much I’ll anticipate tha BT-type of collab, so we’ll see how this ends this eerie edition off…! >>> Yea, I knew somethin’ like this was gonna come outta tha track… Total “Total Eclipse Of The Heart”ness, here… Once tha build-up comes b4 tha drop, it adds a lil’ bit of excitement to tha track, at least. A bit of a guilty pleasure, but I’m diggin’ tha regular 128-paced drop, with its house-type of excitement…! Tha lil’ part followin’ tha 1st drop’s pretty nice; definitely feelin’ its trance-like inspirations, too! Luv tha energy, despite it bein’ surrounded by BTness! My Rating: 4.2
Overall: What a review, it many up
& mentally-down wayz! Definitely had its share of awesomeness, includin’ a
bunch of awesomeness that coulda had more of an awesome experience, but
that’s what happens when you have people around you! See how I was on an 18
hour, 44-minute adventure, Friday into Saturday? All by myself, me to only care
for!! No limits, just progressin’ with tha goalz & with tha best nostalgic
dance music of tha years ta keep me awake! July 5th marked a whole silver
anniversary of me doin’ my own Top 10 countdowns, so I’m now at tha point where
I have at least 25 years worth of music memories! It really paves tha way to
continuously stay awake, when tha productivity arises! With that bein’ said, I
hope I’m in a happier mood, on tha next edition. I have a feelin’ I will, since
this 2nd ½ got betta & like I say, as long as there’s tha faster
music of today, tha memory-creating will alwayz be there! Just be happy, alwayz
put your happiness at tha top & in tha end, tha memories’ll be tha best, no
matter what age!

Got to see this one on #betaBPM, yesterday, as well as its Diplo’s Revolution add… I think this an anticipatin’ one & I definitely enjoyed Abi’s debut collab on Nathan Dawe’s “Here In Your Arms”, durin’ a tyme that literally reminds me of goin’ to New Jersey wit McClain to tha Versace store! My determination iz way too high for people to understand my passion for what I love, who I love, etc. & it hurts me deeply when it’s not taken serious to tha heart! >>> Definitely feelin’ those vocals in tha beginning & I instantly recognized ‘em, as soon as I heard ‘em! Music’s nice, but sounds a lot betta durin’ tha chorus & build-up to tha drop!! Definitely feelin’ tha constant-craving of Abi sayin’ tha title part…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s nice to enjoy, as well…! Can’t wait fa this one to keep playin’ out there! Definitely an awesome collab & one to get addicted to, I feel like! My Rating: 4.6
Label: Good Good/Nice Life/Atlantic
So sappy!! So Croix-y!! So McClain-y!! As far as tha song, like, literally, goes with him with wantin’ money, money, money! I found out an hour b4 this review that McClain’s two girlz dumped him ‘cause he “couldn’t pay they phone bill” & tha other “lives too far,” just an hour away! Like, he LITERALLY got HIT by this song in reality!! See what I’m talkin’ ‘bout! I only am gettin’ hit by it, based off tha love I had for him, as an artist & person! Glad Tinashe can’t stand a “broke” boy! Crazy that this iz even faster than tha average track, too! Doesn’t sound like somethin’ that would be big, but it seems like it’s inescapa-fuckin’-ble! Even only one verse & a whole surrounding of tha chorus! My Current Rating: 3.7
Label: Mercury/Republic
If Saint Croix wasn’t enough for me, add Long Island, New York City & Atlantic City to this song’s memories wit McClain! As far as this appearin’ on this edition, I’m likin’ tha extra intro part! Also, ZULAN iz an interestin’ new artist, so I’m anticipatin’ more of what she has to offer! Cool beats at 135 BPM, as well as these vocals & vocal chops! Tha “on, on, on…”ness! What else more can I say? This song’s really gettin’ its exposure & I hope it continues to feel appreciated, in tha world! Also, nice lil’ added outro part to tha last 15 seconds, as well…! My Current Rating: 4.5
Label: Ultra
Lmfao!! Drivin’ on tha left side of tha road with this anthem, Frankie!! So Saint Croix-y!! I luv how Anabel steps up tha sexuality with tha references of tha chorus! “King Size…” […], “queen vibe…” […], “6-9…,” you know? Cool music, tho; luv how it’s 130! Definitely gives Anabel not just a hotter look & sound, but it doesn’t suffer in boringness! Goes good with Kiesza’s newest, “Stays In Bed”! My Current Rating: 4.4
Label: Major/Warner
At least I feel a lil’ betta about right now than previously… Got excited when I set this to premiere on my birthday durin’ my Saint Croix trip. However, by you-know-who not stayin’ continuously awake, I couldn’t premiere it & it affected me. As far as tha track, itself, I don’t consider it too catchy & am not sure how it’s gonna do in tha mainstream or dance world… Sounds like an okay effort, though I like tha title/“Mr. Fine” part, on tha chorus. Not much to say with tha other parts of tha track; I feel like she sounds a lil’ on tha quiet/shy side, here. Now that I think about it, with all these “girlz” & “I bet he’s with somebody” really hints who McClain iz. My Current Rating: 3.6
Label: RCA
Didn’t expect a fast Tate to follow? At least it’s a 138er & a post-Croix song for me…! Can’t wait ta hear anotha faster Lavern! >>> Sounds good for tha start, between Tate & this fast-quiet start from Lavern…! Likin’ tha chorus with tha “Revolving Door”; definitely sounds cool…! Also, tha drop with tha faster/stutter-like drop-chop!! Definitely real dope!! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty nice; definitely enjoyin’ tha fastness, throughout tha verse’s part! Tha bridge ain’t bad, with all tha “more” parts. Guess it builds tha hype for tha 2nd drop? My Rating: 4.5
Label: Robbins
Didn’t expect a new Robbins track, artist & a 133er to come up, as well! I hope my excitement can pave tha way for this track & its 146 seconds worth of…! >>> Good start with tha faster music, here… Felt like it was gonna be a lil’ bit of a risk for me, with tha male vocals. However, do I feel lucky with tha 133 BPM, at least? Not too-too sure if I feel all tha “I” parts, as tha pre-chorus/chorus… Tha drop, funny, sounds dry, even tho it’s 133 BPM. At least it ain’t no 124 BPM-type slap-house! I feel it more with tha “do…do…” part, especially as tha drop ends with that music! Tha music even follows throughout tha 2nd verse; definitely cool! Ahh, tha “I” parts, again…! I think I can get past ‘em… I like tha 2nd drop, to end thingz off! My Rating: 4.4
Label: Robbins
More of Robbins, back to back! Anotha fast one & I’m glad Warren stepped in to that awesomeness! Definitely well-deserved fa him! Got ta hear this one on tha POOL Player right after tha Croix trip… Awesomeness, though reminds me of tha hurt I’ve been goin’ through. I should feel betta about it, if it starts to get out there… With that bein’ said, these female vocals definitely sound hot/awesome, for this faster Warren! Tha chorus pretty nice & strong, as well as tha drop! Definitely feel tha passion & durin’ tha bridge, it reminds me of Malou, how she sounds…! My Current Rating: 4.7
Label: Spinnin’
Want to anticipate this newbie & trio collab, now that I feel betta about myself…! >>> Sounds cool in tha beginning; gives me a good house vibe… Kinda likin’ when tha climax hits, durin’ tha chorus! Pre-Preparing for tha drop! Tha drop cool; not much to say about it, at a regular 128 pace… Tha verse sounds good, here; sounds like an awesome world of Izzy, when I hear her… Tha 2nd drop cool, too, just progressin’ through… Nothin’ much else to say; at least it’s a thumbs-up! My Rating: 4.2
Label: LESIXTYNINE MUSIQUE
Lol @ tha label name, capitalized style… Alwayz nice to hear a new VASSY track, so let’s see what this one gon bring… >>> Not too-too bad; sounds a lil’ different for VASS, here… More like a rappin’/R&B style, on tha vocal style? Mainly, just decent for me; dunno how it’ll do in tha dance world. Likin’ how she feels tha “Hazy” high, durin’ tha 1st verse, as well as tha “energy” havin’ some sorta check mark or somethin’, on tha 2nd verse. Glad she can verify tha “energy.” My Rating: 3.5
Label: Breakaway
Let’s see how tha Surf comin’ with this brand-new collab & slower track… >>> Sounds like a better start to tha music than VASSY, with a male on tha vocals… Tha pre-chorus sounds nice with tha music growin’ with excitement, durin’ its build-up to tha chorus… I like how VASSY was talkin’ about “Energy” to where this iz tha title of this track, following her! Tha chorus sounds catchy, includin’ tha music! Nice goin’ with tha sounds, Surf! Tha 2nd verse sounds good; definitely diggin’ tha excitement throughout tha music & sounds, continuously!! Tha bridge sounds good with its “Energy,” as well…! My Rating: 4.3
Label: Dharma/Spinnin’
Y’all forgot tha “H” in Darma, accordin’ to tha label, I see…! As far as this goes, I like how “Energy” followed VASSY & now, KSHMR follows Izzy Bizu, since their previous song was their collab, “Diamond In The Rough”…! >>> Instant start with a female on tha vocals, here… Sounds okay, though I would love to hear KSHMR on some faster stuff, for tha new… Sounds much betta with tha drop at 0:47!! Definitely cool with tha music, there! Good lil’ transition to tha 2nd verse, which sounds a lil’ like a Tate McRae, at tymes… My Rating: 4.1
Label: b1/Ministry Of Sound/Ultra
I believe tha “b” in B1 lower-case, lol. Only 122 BPM, here; let’s see how this trio gon sound… >>> As soon as I heard tha “lady” part, in tha first second/word, I almost thought it was gonna remake Modjo, lol… Guess it’s an okay chorus? Dunno how much I can catch on to this… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it ain’t bad; just seems okay. Tha chorus almost reminds me of that bluegrass-y sound of Avicii, in some wayz… Tha drop ain’t bad, with an okay set of repeatin’ vocals… Tha 2nd verse sounds a lil’ betta with tha music, here… My Rating: 3.7
Label: Helix
Whoa, what a combo of people, here! You got CC, who are alwayz active & their “Find Love Now” really got me through all my accident shit with McClain. Then, you got EM, who only was on PO once with his “Stereo Love” Vika Jigulina collab, on tha 3/10 edition! Finally, you got Enisa, who had her one PO appearance on tha 11/14 edition with Kaskade (“Tears Don’t Fall”), released one day after tha accident with McClain! Seems like it can be a gumbo pot/typhoon-type of collab, here!! Love how tha edition started gettin’ slower, then a 131 BPM track like this comes to premiere & go hard…!! >>> Oh, no wonder where tha EM appearance comes from! Total new version of “Stereo Love”!! Love tha beginning, as well as tha Enisa vocals, on tha 1st verse!! Definitely much happier than tha post-accident tymes of “TDF”!! Definitely luv tha chorus & what a brighter way to progress through how lazy & drained I felt, from tha beginning of this edition!! Talk about a total 360-type of feeling!! Definitely lovin’ this & anticipatin’ tha 2nd verse progressin’, too!! Oh, just luv tha energy, altogether!! Tha lyrics about tha title part & “no more” followin’ it remind me of tha future with McClain, though! Pretty eerie, but tha eeriness tells tha future, at tymes! I’ll perfect-rate this one, since it caught me off-guard! My Rating: 5.0
Label: Warner
Endin’ it with a 3rd appearance from Guetta, here…! Dunno how much I’ll anticipate tha BT-type of collab, so we’ll see how this ends this eerie edition off…! >>> Yea, I knew somethin’ like this was gonna come outta tha track… Total “Total Eclipse Of The Heart”ness, here… Once tha build-up comes b4 tha drop, it adds a lil’ bit of excitement to tha track, at least. A bit of a guilty pleasure, but I’m diggin’ tha regular 128-paced drop, with its house-type of excitement…! Tha lil’ part followin’ tha 1st drop’s pretty nice; definitely feelin’ its trance-like inspirations, too! Luv tha energy, despite it bein’ surrounded by BTness! My Rating: 4.2
