© 2015 CD Review (Review #1,453) reviewed on 3.16.2015 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. Olav Basoski Feat. Michie One “Waterman (Radio Edit)”
Saw
iPR get it outta nowhere in February 2006 and I instantly thought it was a
classic/old song. However, it was a new song, signed with Robbins! Great to
have a reggae vocalist like Michie One hop on a dance track; killer joint, right chea!!
Super-addictive, as well!! My Current
Rating: 4.9
02.
Kristine Hendricks “You’ve Got It All (Valentin Radio Mix)”
½
of QED, right chea!! A cover of tha old song by The Jets and she sounds great with this one!! Of course, have to show her & Valentin tha most luv fa providin’ that pure sound to tha dance world!! Great
job, you guys!! My Current Rating: 4.4
03.
Jana Jana “Typical Girl (Radio Edit)”
An
unsigned song (label’s www.janajana.com
<- Loved when websites were tha label!!) and it’s pretty catchy! Beats are
nice and fast and tha song/vocals sound like they’re for tha pop world. I mean,
with it bein’ unsigned, who knows where it could go! My Current Rating: 4.3
04.
Kim Sozzi “Alone (Johnny Budz Radio Mix)”
Anotha
remake on this CD but by anotha pure
vocalist/pure remixer!!! On March 8,
2006 @ 5:33 PM, it premiered on Music Choice Dance and what an anthem!! Such powerful vocals with such fast,
pure-soundin’ beatz by my boy,
Budz!!! My Current Rating: 4.8
05.
Kelly Clarkson “Walk Away (Craig J Radio Edit)”
Exactly
four minutes before MCD got tha Kim Sozzi song, they got tha Chris Cox Radio
Edit to this song. Personally, I like CC’s mix better than this mix, but this
still ain’t bad ta have on here as a bonus mix. My Current Rating: 3.9
06.
Kristy Kay “When You Find Love (Giuseppe D Radio Mix)”
And,
a jackpot, here!! Gotta luv Kristy, as well as Giuseppe D!! Just luv tha
vocals, especially during a phase! First gave it a listen on this PO with tha old post when I became cool with Lil’ Frankie
and I was like, “Instant jackpot;” I should’ve played it, though! I didn’t play
anything in 2006 that no one got, but this should’ve gotten exposure! Great
song and great production!! My Current
Rating: 4.8
07.
Mickey “Mixin’” Oliver Feat. Jane Sheldon “Is It Love (NRG Radio Edit)”
Don’t
remember; neva heard, so let’s see what our boy, Mickey, gon bring outta this!
>>> A fade-in beat intro? Sounds hot and I had a feelin’ it was gon be
fast!! Definitely diggin’ this fast, original-soundin’ beat as well as these
vocals!! Ooh, that hot club synth
after tha chorus!! Whoooottt!! What a strong
dance song with how it sounds, altogether!! Kinda sounds a lil’ long by tha
time tha 2nd chorus comes along, but don’t worry, my interest’s
still here! My Rating: 4.4
08.
LL Cool J Feat. Jennifer Lopez “Control Myself (Nevins Elektrotek Edit)”
Glad
that it has a remix, though I like tha original better; this sounds like it’s
more for tha clubs than tha radio… My
Current Rating: 3.6
09.
Pleasure Center “Believe In Me (DJ Gabriel &
Laz Radio Mix)”
One
of my favorites from PO!! Thanx to them bein’
on here, they got to iPR and later reached #3 (around) on their playlist! Just
luv tha vocals and those fast beats!! This whole entire song still has interest with me to this day;
great flashback track to play!! I’ll always remember them showin’ me luv on
MySpace; glad they appreciated a young, 18-year-old FrankieThaLuckyDog! My Current Rating: 5.0
10.
Filterfunk “S.O.S. (Message In A Bottle) (Hi_Tack Radio Edit)”
LOL,
a lil’ remake, here, from The Police… Sounds good for a remake; diggin’ those
Hi_Tack beats after tha chorus… My
Current Rating: 4.1
11.
Ronny V Feat. Nanda “What If (Radio Edit)”
One
year ago, it was on Promo Only: Rhythm
Radio May 2005, released under Airmass Music. Now, Robbins signed it and it
domestically made its appearance on Dance
Radio! Great vocals and a hot beat from Ronny V! Too bad this was tha only
song he released, and Nanda wound up bein’ a death metal vocalist? They showed
me luv on MySpace back in January 2007 or somethin’ with my awards, so that was
a good look right there! My Current
Rating: 4.4
12.
Lady Life “Holding Out For A Hero (Giuseppe D Radio Mix)”
Just
like tha Kristy Kay song, this one’s released on Hothead Productions, as well!
Anotha hot beat from Giuseppe, it looks like, with 142 on tha BPM pace? Neva really gave it a full listen, so here it goes!
>>> Nice fast start and great vocals! Great-soundin’ beats; luv ‘em!!
They later got popularized when D.H.T. released “I Go Crazy”, which I was glad
there were a few more Giuseppe tracks at 142 – 145 BPM!! Nice chorus, here;
definitely feelin’ tha anthemic vibes!! Excellent
beat after tha chorus, as well!! My
Rating: 4.7
13.
De Lorean “Push It (Radio Edit)”
More
remakes! Definitely feelin’ tha way they did tha Salt N Pepa beat! Too bad this
was tha only song they released! Oh, Robbins was tha perfect exposure for
one-hit dance wonders! But still, at least they gave ‘em one chance! My Current
Rating: 4.4
14.
Claudja “I Will Stand (Tony Moran & Warren Rigg Radio Edit)”
Ain’t
really get to hear it when I wanted it. DonnaJean Records on this one, with 133
BPM! >>> Nice fast beat from TM&WR, as they’re my favorite
producers/remixers!! Nice lil’ vocals, too; this track came out nice, unlike
tha CeCe Winans one from tha previous PO!
Great combination, here! Chorus ain’t too bad, either; feelin’ this… My Rating: 4.3
15.
Ella “Forever Young (Pop Radio Mix)”
Neva really got ta listen ta this whole entire
thing, too, but I know it’s a remake. >>> Luvin’ tha fast beats; ironic
for a “Pop Radio Mix”, lol? Definitely trance-type quality, here, for tha
mainstream! Luv how this CD has so
many fast songs! If only this was today; my money would be all ova these jointz!! Until then, I’ll just have to keep
treasure-hunting, as well as appreciating hardstyle! Great job with this song,
overall; too bad it ain’t get tha right exposure! And, just as pure: a fade-out
outro! My Rating: 4.3
16.
Latrice “Illuminate (Album Version)”
MCD
got this on March 8, 2006 @ 9:03 PM… Not really a fan of this; repetitive and
it doesn’t sound that exciting for an attempt at dance music… I also hate that
MCD’s beastin’ this song!! My Current
Rating: 1.7
17.
Persephone’s Bees “Nice Day (Chris Cox Radio Mix)”
I
can see this bein’ addictin’; feelin’ tha vocals and that beat by CC! Nice job
with this future gem!! My Current
Rating: 4.7
18.
Kim English “It Makes A Difference (Tony Moran & Warren Rigg Radio Edit)”
Anotha
TM&WR appearance and it sounds great with this comeback! Nice job, Kim;
feelin’ how you “make a difference, yeah!!” My Current Rating: 4.5
19.
Disconfect Feat. Andrea Martin “Story Of My Life (Radio Edit)”
Robbins
in tha buildin’ again! Disconfect = Hani; nice collab! Great vocals from Ms.
Andrea and it’s nice to see them collab again! My Current Rating: 4.5
20. Lake Street Project “Forever (Bobby
Blanco & Miki Moto Radio Edit)”
Kinda
a shitty ending; weird, disco-y beat and vocals are just decent… My Current Rating: 3.1
Overall: Thought this was a nice
CD, as well! Lots of really fast songs on here that paid off; great job, PO! My PO mission has
been complete! I HAVE REVIEWED EVERY DANCE RADIO EDITION!!! Hope y’all
appreciate it even MORE!! I might
even be legendary at this point!!
