Only Dance Radio November 2025 iz here! Though I thought I’d be way more excited
for this review, unfortunately, I got my heart broken by McClain, again!! Last
month, I reviewed tha October edition of Dance Radio & verified how AWESOME
my October was gonna be, with McClain comin’ up ta finish my upcomin’ album.
However, not only did he miss his flight ‘cause of a car breakin’ down tha
night b4, but I rebooked tha ticket for tha following day & he missed it again!!!
Instantly broke my heart & we didn’t have too great of an anniversary of
celebratin’ our U-Haul crash. Sounds like somebody’s tryna hide away or
somethin’? Well, with tha way I expect this review ta have bangerz, it makes me
anticipate tha rest of this month & tha following month more. I’m in tha
process of gettin’ some1 else from McClain’s area ta finish my album off, so
hopefully, we can restore life ‘cause dance music today’s way too awesome to be
sad!! Frfr! With that bein’ said, lemme get on ta this review, b4 I go back to
my full-tyme…! Start Tyme: 8:44 PM |
End Tyme: 10:03 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…

SIDEPIECE feat. Darla Jade “Cry For You”
Label: Lip Service
Could it be…? Startin’ off tha November 2025 edition with tha same song that started off tha April 2007 edition of Dance Radio (September “Cry For You”, tho this tha 2025 version)… Not really a fan of tracks that remake other dance tracks, despite this bein’ faster than tha 130 BPM original, by two BPM… *Rehears* Ironic title that goes with how McClain makes me feel—or should I say, “Tha world”! Just hearin’ tha music & tha chorus really makes me think of such a guilty pleasure. It’s pathetic how I was tryna make friends with a Darnell, at my 1st college, durin’ those ’07 tymes. Now, it’s progressin’ a so-called friendship with McClain, like I was still 18 from tha original “Cry For You”, smh! Seems like an okay drop, tho not much goin’ on with tha music… Thought it was more euphoric? *Looks up vocalist…* Had ta look up tha vocalist, after ACRAZE remade Rockell’s “In A Dream” with Aviella, startin’ off tha August 2023 edition… Cool that it’s Darla Jade, tho not too-too much of a strong remake like “In A Dream”. I’ll just consider it as a random bonus track, but okay attempt… My Current Rating: 3.5
02.
Cloonee feat. Robin S “Not Gonna Be Your Boo”
Label: Columbia
Ehh… Anotha one on tha cheesy-soundin’ remake style for me, here… Good attempt, again, at tha 132 BPM-paced tempo, but not a remake it’d go crazy-crazy for… My Current Rating: 3.2
03.
GT_Ofice x Martial Simon x Matthew Topper “Two Hands”
Label: Caine
As tha first two tracks started off as remakes, who none other than GT to come through with tha first new-new song fa me, that I neva heard b4…! Hope it’s a banger!! >>> Sounds like it’s in tha happy/uplifting spirit, based off tha beginning music…! Definitely excited that it’s a female, here…! Wonder who she iz? Sounds a lil’ familiar & awesome, at tha same tyme! Definitely feelin’ tha energy & upliftingness on tha chorus!! Definitely nice ta hear this one!! Hope it gets tha respect it deserves & if everything gets betta fa my life, it’ll have an awesome future with me! It’s just, my life iz like a roulette wheel, right nah! Definitely sounds nice, throughout tha two verses & tha energy this one brings to tha table! Makes me trust these vibes ta get me through all tha dark, empty, false vibes encounterin’ me, lately!! My Rating: 4.8
04.
MK & Clementine Douglas “Come Find Me”
Label: Ultra
Got ta see this on tha POOL Player & it spread its name around, recently… I think this a collab in gold, like how I thought my previous collabz were ‘posed ta feel, in real life… Just sounds like a good/okay house vibe ta progress through this future of mine… Like how Clementine says, “I’m a little loud in tha night,” as if it’s easy to “find” her… Just like tha 1st verse, Clementine comes through with that vocal-capturin’ vibe for tha dance/househeadz, here… My Current Rating: 3.9
05.
Madison Beer “yes baby”
Label: Sing It Loud!/Epic
Got ta see this one, recently… Luv tha big, fast sound from her, here! Too bad life should feel & seem betta, though it currently ain’t! Definitely feelin’ her addictive chorus that follows her addictive vocals, on tha 1st verse…! Definitely feel how she continuously says tha title, throughout tha chorus & how all tha fastness hits!! Luv how she knows how to create such a huge sound fa a youngin in tha game!! Undefeatable addictiveness, here!! Even down ta singin’ tha 2nd verse, soundin’ awesome with how she grasps people on!! My Current Rating: 4.7
06.
BUNT., The Chainsmokers & Izzy Bizu “Spaces”
Label: Arista
Whoo!!! Currently, my #1 on my latest playlist, but too bad it couldn’t bring McClain to PA! Now, it’s tyme fa anotha chance, as this tops this review! It’ll be tha review-topper that’ll make my special guest come to PA to finish my upcomin’ album! With that bein’ said, got ta hear this one last month, while spendin’ one day at Mount Rushmore… Have ta say, definitely real huge, especially Track 6 of 21 (my birthday #’s), to be extremely addictive & an awesome way ta really grasp on to me!! Definitely feelin’ how all three of them collaborated & how Izzy comes through with supa-soundin’ catchiness, throughout her lyrics & vocals!! Also, shout-out to TC for their backin’ vocals & how all three of this trio decided ta bring tha reign!! Definitely a huge way ta alwayz go to tha casino six tymes a week for freeplay, as well as tha walkin’ around fa exercise, constantly playin’ these trax & tryna betta tha situation I’m currently in, with my music project… It’s a tyme-healin’ process, but I know, especially with these songs, that life gon get betta fa me. Tha huge vibes!! Tha fast vibes!! Tha anthemic vibes!! Those are tha vibes that are definitely makin’ me continue ta believe huge, as far as tha future goes! My Current Rating: 5.0
07.
Cash Cash x ROZES “Up So High”
Label: Ultra
As tha huge collabz keep comin’, of course, here’s anotha one, that I just heard on tha POOL Player… Awesome—definitely awesome ta hear ROZES back on her shit! Heard she beat Stage 3 breast cancer! Ouch! Momz beat Stage 2, not that long ago! With that bein’ said, I really feel her lyrics ta heart, here, especially with tha “it’s tha bitter truth.” That’s so McClain’s after effects of tha vibes we expect in life!! Awesome-soundin’ slap-house, I’d say, here… It takes special people on tha track ta make a nice, 124 BPM-paced slap-house track ta stand out. “Now, it’s 2:00 AM; my eyez are bloodshot-red.” Such a feelin’, in order ta counteract err-thang! Last tyme I heard ROZES on a track was right before I got smacked 2x in tha face, so I know how tha post-trauma now feels! It’s literally “tha life I didn’t choose,” just like her quote! Sad ta hear her get Stage 3 breast cancer & sad ta hear me get smacked 2x in tha face & more… Everything’s so “bitter,” these dayz! “It’s tha bitter truth; reminded me that no one sticks around.” Oh, that line!! It’s so “bitter” & true, especially with this whole McClain thing, I can’t tell you how much it hurts, mentally!! It almost feels like I don’t have a purpose in tha world. It’s…, ugh! Anywayz, definitely awesome with these meaningful lyrics, awesome music & vocals ta combine for an awesome collab, followin’ their 2017 “Matches” one!! My Current Rating: 4.9
08.
Elephante & x.o.anne “Dreaming Season”
Label: Zoo/Hidden Horizon
Awesome ta see these two collab…! Can’t wait ta hear this one…! >>> Sounds like it’s a cool lil’ slower track, at 122, here… Cool way this has that upliftin’ power to it! Definitely what’s up, between tha awesome-soundin’ 1st verse, chorus & drop!! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty intense hearin’ about tryna “walk down them straight lines.” It’s alwayz like a path becomes a labyrinth, dividin’ in to many paths! My Rating: 4.4
09.
oskar med k & Khalid “nobody (make me feel)”
Label: Right Hand/RCA
A slight 360 from oskar med’s previous edition’s version of tha original of this… Now, with Khalid & it sounds a lil’ more alive, I guess? Likin’ tha Khalid vocalizin’, b4 that 1st verse kicks in… Sounds like a good lil’ verse & then, that chorus sounds like it’s a lil’ more mainstream, I guess? Sounds like I liked tha chorus as just an original version, instead? Tha bridge sounds okay; not too-too bad of an updated version of this track… My Current Rating: 3.9
10.
J. Worra feat. Lena Leon “5 6 7 Ate”
Label: Major
This one’s got its name out there, as of recent… Not too-too sure how much I’ll go fa this one. Just seems like a random house vibe, despite tha title’s two different types of words (numbers & a past-tense verb) comin’ in to catch me… My Current Rating: 3.3
½tyme: Seems like a dope
edition, so far…! I get too excited when tha music’s way more upliftin’ than
how life iz, currently! Those huge vibes are so important ta
inspire tha best of life, these dayz!! Definitely need it, as far
as my 37-year-old self-esteem goes! Let’s keep it goin’! Current Average
Rating: 4.2!
11.
Netsky feat. Bebe Rexha “Light That Leads Me”
Label: Helix
Been seein’ this one get its name out there, recently… Definitely feelin’ this collab, as Rexha goes all tha way for this sound of Netsky…! Luv when John Summit & Sub Focus did it with Julia Church on “Go Back”, where tha sound started off dance & ended in dnb!! Definitely awesome ta hear tha regular-paced dance vibe, throughout tha beginning & then, at 1:20, tha build-up starts hittin’ tha world with its upcomin’ fastness! Definitely nice, between these two collaboratin’! Cool-soundin’ 2nd verse with Rexha on her dnb-type shit, here! Gotta luv how err-body be bringin’ tha energy to tha 2020’s! It’s what keeps me alive, to tha fullest!! My Current Rating: 4.5
12.
Shermanology x Green Velvet “Hotter”
Label: Nervous
It’s a surprise to see Nervous, once again! It’s a surprise to see Shermanology on a Dance Radio, once again!! Though I’ve been knowin’ this one globally, from Diplo’s Revolution, I have ta say, this a nice appearance, here! Definitely awesome beats from tha two of them collabbin’, includin’ Shermanology’s “energy; kilowatt” & vibes! “Feel like I won tha lotto!” All this, right here!! “When I look atchu, I’ve hit tha jackpot!” Definitely dope, in all tha wayz I like it! Awesome music, consistently stayin’ alive, for tha most part! Definitely unstoppable, between tha two of them, here!! My Current Rating: 4.8
13.
Mathame “Koko”
Label: Spinnin’
Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this new one, courtesy of Spinnin’ & 132 BPM!! >>> Sounds like a silly-vocal house vibe, based off how I hear tha vocals in tha beginning? Definitely likin’ tha fast music, but, lol, this chorus sounds like a rap-in-tha-trap song! Definitely a dope combo, between tha 132 BPM & that! Definitely somethin’ you don’t hear every day, especially tha dopeness of tha drop/music, too!! Tha rest of this hittin’ nice, too! Definitely awesome ta think of this ducked-off vibe, in a way! My Rating: 4.6
14.
Joel Corry & Abi Flynn “Phases”
Label: Atlantic UK
Looks like an excitin’ one…! Can’t wait ta hear tha power of this collab!! >>> Definitely sounds nice with tha music start, here! Definitely nice with Abi on tha 1st verse, here! Likin’ tha pre-chorus, too! Sounds like somethin’ that’s anticipatin’ somethin’ awesome/music it’s samplin’?! Tha chorus sounds cool; tha “Phases” theme literally reminds me of what I’m still goin’ through in life, as a 37-year-old… Well, me bein’ blocked means that they “set me free,” Abi! How ‘bout that one, lol/*sigh*? Yea, it definitely “cuts so real.” Like, McClain’s hurt iz so mentally & chemically effective, it fucks me up so bad!! Really, it’s a lot to deal with, underlyingly! With that bein’ said, tha 2nd chorus/drop hit pretty nice, this tyme! Definitely awesome ta hear these two!! My Rating: 4.7
15.
Audien x MAKJ feat. Julia Church “Slide Away”
Label: Armada
Luv that err-body keeps puttin’ new tracks out & neva stops tha grind!! >>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ start, but didn’t expect Julia’s vocals to be pitched up, here… We’ll see what I think of this one, but I seem happy with my 1st listen, so far… Sounds like a chorus & build-up that sounds nice ta hear… Hearin’ tha drop & it’s cool; definitely feelin’ tha faster Audien…! Tha 2nd verse sounds okay to progress this track, as well… Nothin’ much else ta say about it, but nice collab, in tha end. My Rating: 4.1
16.
PLS&TY & Nu-La “Carry The Light”
Label: Dim Mak
Saw this one get out there, but couldn’t find it to get a sample ta hear… Now, it’s here & here I go ta hear… >>> Sounds like a quiet-but-anticipatin’ start, based off this collab… Sounds nice ta hear Nu-La, though I neva know what to anticipate… In tha end, I guess her collabz “Carry The Light” to tha next dimension of life? Definitely diggin’ tha 2nd ½ of tha chorus, tho; definitely what’s up! Tha 2nd verse sounds good ta hear, as well… We’ll see how this one’ll get out there, just like how PLS&TY recently had us “Leave The Light On”, on my final dayz of bein’ able ta listen ta Music Choice Dance (I ended cable service)… My Rating: 4.0
17.
DIEGO SAN DIEGO x Alec Monopoly “Tequila”
Label: Armada
What do we have, here…? Spanglish? >>> Luvin’ that beginning with these 130 BPM-paced beatz with tha “he sips a Coca-Cola…” line repeatin’! Literally, it reminded me of an answer track ta CamelPhat & Elderbrook’s “Cola”, lol… Cool lil’ title part, with wantin’ that “Tequila,” I guess? At 01:07, it sounds like music sampled from a throwback dance track… Tha rest of this progresses through nicely, just wantin’ that “Tequila” & analyzin’ that “Cola,” lol… My Rating: 4.3
18.
CYRIL & Kelland feat. Nate Dogg “I Got Love”
Label: Spinnin’
Saw this on tha POOL Player & with these faster, 132 BPM-type tymes sound appreciated, it’s just, I can’t fuck with tha same-vocal remakes… >>> Good 132 BPM-paced music, but coulda been betta with remade/new vocals, rather than tha old ones of Nate Dogg. Even tho it’s cool ta see Nate Dogg in tha dance world again, I just can’t fuck wit these same-vocal remakes… Music continues ta be okay, as far as tha drop goes… Other than that, ehh, this one can go on its way! My Rating: 2.7
19.
Vonce “Sofia (Clairo Remix)”
Label: broke
Looks like somethin’ anticipatin’, based off tha broke label I heard from tha POOL Player…! >>> Yes, definitely on a supa-catchy tip, between tha melody & tha female vocals, here!! Definitely feelin’ Clairo with tha remix, too! Sounds like somethin’ ta appreciate ta listen to, after goin’ through heartbreak…! Fa me, that’s McClain! Tha 2nd verse sounds cool, too; definitely nice, here! Makes me really wanna appreciate what I got in store fa tha future & use tha hurt from tha past ta bring betta upliftin’ moments fa me! My Rating: 4.6
20.
Katrina Woolverton & Ethan Capps “Are You”
Label: Red Red
Definitely awesome ta hear Katrina on anotha PO! It’s been a long journey & with this new track, I luv how she’s goin’ with tha 136 BPM-type fastness, here! Tha way she comes through with it on tha 1st verse & with EC sounds nice ta hear, here…! Definitely what’s up with how she vocalizes tha pre-chorus & then, tha drop hits! Tha chorus comes through; she owns it! Definitely a huge moment ta hear here & these big/fast-type vibes, in tha world of today!! Cool 2nd verse, as she continues ta own tha fastness of tha dance world, here! Hearin’ tha bridge, too & it’s great ta alwayz hear her! See, this what McClain don’t understand: When Katrina was just Katrina, on tha August 2011 edition of Dance Radio, she had “OPP (Other People’s Money)”. Right as that was in rotation wit me, an artist borrowed money from me fa a plane ticket, on November 17, 2011 & they neva boarded tha flight! It took them till October 7, 2018 ta pay me back, though I still lost $55.00 with them. Now, with this Katrina track on this Dance Radio, here we go again with tha plane tickets, let alone, two consecutive dayz of plane tickets! *Sigh* My Current Rating: 4.7
21.
ILLENIUM feat. Tom Grennan & Alna “Forever”
Label: Republic
Saw this one get out there & from a quick listen, it sounds like ILLENIUM’s older, slower style… >>> Sounds like a good vocalist with this Alna chick, on tha 1st verse… Tha music sounds like that old ILLENIUM style we embraced, durin’ years ago… Hearin’ tha chorus & it sounds like a good, potential anthem. Not too sure how I’ll appreciate it, but it’s a decent review, ta say tha least. Hearin’ tha drop & yea, that’s tha ILLENIUM style we’ve known him for. I have ta admit, I like tha dance/faster-soundin’ ILLENIUM drops/music a lot betta than this slow, 75 BPM-type shit. Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad; not much ta really say, except it’s good when Alna sings anotha verse. My Rating: 3.1
Overall: Thought this was an
awesome edition, tho too bad life ain’t up ta par, like tha music comin’ out of
these dayz! Tha dance world really owns life & it’s unfortunate when
I can’t find tha right moments ta make it equalize tha music out! Maybe, sooner
or later! I gon keep believin’, but this shit’s pretty depressin’, at tymes…
Tymes’ll get betta! Can’t wait fa tha December 2025 edition, as I should be in
betta spirits by then!

This one’s got its name out there, as of recent… Not too-too sure how much I’ll go fa this one. Just seems like a random house vibe, despite tha title’s two different types of words (numbers & a past-tense verb) comin’ in to catch me… My Current Rating: 3.3
Label: Helix
Been seein’ this one get its name out there, recently… Definitely feelin’ this collab, as Rexha goes all tha way for this sound of Netsky…! Luv when John Summit & Sub Focus did it with Julia Church on “Go Back”, where tha sound started off dance & ended in dnb!! Definitely awesome ta hear tha regular-paced dance vibe, throughout tha beginning & then, at 1:20, tha build-up starts hittin’ tha world with its upcomin’ fastness! Definitely nice, between these two collaboratin’! Cool-soundin’ 2nd verse with Rexha on her dnb-type shit, here! Gotta luv how err-body be bringin’ tha energy to tha 2020’s! It’s what keeps me alive, to tha fullest!! My Current Rating: 4.5
Label: Nervous
It’s a surprise to see Nervous, once again! It’s a surprise to see Shermanology on a Dance Radio, once again!! Though I’ve been knowin’ this one globally, from Diplo’s Revolution, I have ta say, this a nice appearance, here! Definitely awesome beats from tha two of them collabbin’, includin’ Shermanology’s “energy; kilowatt” & vibes! “Feel like I won tha lotto!” All this, right here!! “When I look atchu, I’ve hit tha jackpot!” Definitely dope, in all tha wayz I like it! Awesome music, consistently stayin’ alive, for tha most part! Definitely unstoppable, between tha two of them, here!! My Current Rating: 4.8
Label: Spinnin’
Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this new one, courtesy of Spinnin’ & 132 BPM!! >>> Sounds like a silly-vocal house vibe, based off how I hear tha vocals in tha beginning? Definitely likin’ tha fast music, but, lol, this chorus sounds like a rap-in-tha-trap song! Definitely a dope combo, between tha 132 BPM & that! Definitely somethin’ you don’t hear every day, especially tha dopeness of tha drop/music, too!! Tha rest of this hittin’ nice, too! Definitely awesome ta think of this ducked-off vibe, in a way! My Rating: 4.6
Label: Atlantic UK
Looks like an excitin’ one…! Can’t wait ta hear tha power of this collab!! >>> Definitely sounds nice with tha music start, here! Definitely nice with Abi on tha 1st verse, here! Likin’ tha pre-chorus, too! Sounds like somethin’ that’s anticipatin’ somethin’ awesome/music it’s samplin’?! Tha chorus sounds cool; tha “Phases” theme literally reminds me of what I’m still goin’ through in life, as a 37-year-old… Well, me bein’ blocked means that they “set me free,” Abi! How ‘bout that one, lol/*sigh*? Yea, it definitely “cuts so real.” Like, McClain’s hurt iz so mentally & chemically effective, it fucks me up so bad!! Really, it’s a lot to deal with, underlyingly! With that bein’ said, tha 2nd chorus/drop hit pretty nice, this tyme! Definitely awesome ta hear these two!! My Rating: 4.7
Label: Armada
Luv that err-body keeps puttin’ new tracks out & neva stops tha grind!! >>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ start, but didn’t expect Julia’s vocals to be pitched up, here… We’ll see what I think of this one, but I seem happy with my 1st listen, so far… Sounds like a chorus & build-up that sounds nice ta hear… Hearin’ tha drop & it’s cool; definitely feelin’ tha faster Audien…! Tha 2nd verse sounds okay to progress this track, as well… Nothin’ much else ta say about it, but nice collab, in tha end. My Rating: 4.1
Label: Dim Mak
Saw this one get out there, but couldn’t find it to get a sample ta hear… Now, it’s here & here I go ta hear… >>> Sounds like a quiet-but-anticipatin’ start, based off this collab… Sounds nice ta hear Nu-La, though I neva know what to anticipate… In tha end, I guess her collabz “Carry The Light” to tha next dimension of life? Definitely diggin’ tha 2nd ½ of tha chorus, tho; definitely what’s up! Tha 2nd verse sounds good ta hear, as well… We’ll see how this one’ll get out there, just like how PLS&TY recently had us “Leave The Light On”, on my final dayz of bein’ able ta listen ta Music Choice Dance (I ended cable service)… My Rating: 4.0
Label: Armada
What do we have, here…? Spanglish? >>> Luvin’ that beginning with these 130 BPM-paced beatz with tha “he sips a Coca-Cola…” line repeatin’! Literally, it reminded me of an answer track ta CamelPhat & Elderbrook’s “Cola”, lol… Cool lil’ title part, with wantin’ that “Tequila,” I guess? At 01:07, it sounds like music sampled from a throwback dance track… Tha rest of this progresses through nicely, just wantin’ that “Tequila” & analyzin’ that “Cola,” lol… My Rating: 4.3
Label: Spinnin’
Saw this on tha POOL Player & with these faster, 132 BPM-type tymes sound appreciated, it’s just, I can’t fuck with tha same-vocal remakes… >>> Good 132 BPM-paced music, but coulda been betta with remade/new vocals, rather than tha old ones of Nate Dogg. Even tho it’s cool ta see Nate Dogg in tha dance world again, I just can’t fuck wit these same-vocal remakes… Music continues ta be okay, as far as tha drop goes… Other than that, ehh, this one can go on its way! My Rating: 2.7
Label: broke
Looks like somethin’ anticipatin’, based off tha broke label I heard from tha POOL Player…! >>> Yes, definitely on a supa-catchy tip, between tha melody & tha female vocals, here!! Definitely feelin’ Clairo with tha remix, too! Sounds like somethin’ ta appreciate ta listen to, after goin’ through heartbreak…! Fa me, that’s McClain! Tha 2nd verse sounds cool, too; definitely nice, here! Makes me really wanna appreciate what I got in store fa tha future & use tha hurt from tha past ta bring betta upliftin’ moments fa me! My Rating: 4.6

Definitely awesome ta hear Katrina on anotha PO! It’s been a long journey & with this new track, I luv how she’s goin’ with tha 136 BPM-type fastness, here! Tha way she comes through with it on tha 1st verse & with EC sounds nice ta hear, here…! Definitely what’s up with how she vocalizes tha pre-chorus & then, tha drop hits! Tha chorus comes through; she owns it! Definitely a huge moment ta hear here & these big/fast-type vibes, in tha world of today!! Cool 2nd verse, as she continues ta own tha fastness of tha dance world, here! Hearin’ tha bridge, too & it’s great ta alwayz hear her! See, this what McClain don’t understand: When Katrina was just Katrina, on tha August 2011 edition of Dance Radio, she had “OPP (Other People’s Money)”. Right as that was in rotation wit me, an artist borrowed money from me fa a plane ticket, on November 17, 2011 & they neva boarded tha flight! It took them till October 7, 2018 ta pay me back, though I still lost $55.00 with them. Now, with this Katrina track on this Dance Radio, here we go again with tha plane tickets, let alone, two consecutive dayz of plane tickets! *Sigh* My Current Rating: 4.7
Label: Republic
Saw this one get out there & from a quick listen, it sounds like ILLENIUM’s older, slower style… >>> Sounds like a good vocalist with this Alna chick, on tha 1st verse… Tha music sounds like that old ILLENIUM style we embraced, durin’ years ago… Hearin’ tha chorus & it sounds like a good, potential anthem. Not too sure how I’ll appreciate it, but it’s a decent review, ta say tha least. Hearin’ tha drop & yea, that’s tha ILLENIUM style we’ve known him for. I have ta admit, I like tha dance/faster-soundin’ ILLENIUM drops/music a lot betta than this slow, 75 BPM-type shit. Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad; not much ta really say, except it’s good when Alna sings anotha verse. My Rating: 3.1
