Review #382: Promo Only: Dance Radio January 2010

Reviewed on 1.31.2010 (Review #382)


It’s FrankieThaLuckyDog here and I’m finally gonna review tha recent Promo Only that came out. Basically, by now, I know nearly all tha songs so I don’t really need any previews. Before tha night ends, I gon complete this review finally so here it goes! Here goes my review for Promo Only: Dance Radio January 2010!! Start Time: 11:54 PM | End Time: 1:32 AM


Quick Notes:
1. I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0. 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) so any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating.
To tha artist/producer: Don’t get catchy feelin’s if I don’t like a song on a first listen. Things could change in tha future as I could love it, so you neva know!
2. 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.
3. AL = Anticipation Level
4. MC = Music Choice (wit these letters attached, it adds to MC: D/E = Dance/Electronica (just a D or an E represents tha separate part of tha channel); R = Rap; H = Hitlist; HH&R&B = Hip-Hop And R&B; SOTS = Sounds Of The Seasons)
5. PO = Promo Only
6. iPR = iPartyRadio
7. RE = Radio Edit
8. P105 = Party 105.3
9. PB = Perfect Beat
10. MS = MySpace
11. YT = YouTube
12. FB = Facebook
13. IC = In-consideration (of playing tha song)
14. HM = Hit mixer
15. Any other initials usually relate to tha artist/song I’m currently reviewin’.
16. DvD = Dance vs. Dance (meanin’ a Dance artist covered/remade another Dance artist’s song)

© 2010 CD Review (Review #382) reviewed on 1.31.2010 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. Madonna Feat. Lil’ Wayne “Revolver (One Love Remix)”
I think this iz gr8. If only mainstream sources can pay attention to this. DEFINITELY a HOT beat and tha content iz REAL GR8 here!! Even Weezy comin’ through on tha feature sounds gr8 for tha collaboration here! :tu My Current Rating: 4.4


02. Lady GaGa “Bad Romance (Dave Audé Radio Edit)”
Keepin’ tha heat flowin’!! This iz a HOT remix; nice job, DA!! REALLY liked how tha intro was made, especially tha “rah rah” shit, lol! :rofl Tha original version iz just as gr8 but you know we had ta remix it up for tha new decade! My Current Rating: 4.3


03. Leggz Feat. Stephanie “La La La (Radio Edit)”
At first when I heard it, I had a lil’ bit of disappoint ‘cause of tha typical sounding and Nervous signin’ a song like this. However, after a few listens, it’s catchy; gotta feel tha chorus!! :tu Tha beat has an okay vibe and can be borderline at times (if only mainstream sources would pay attention once again). My Current Rating: 3.9


04. Samantha “U-Turn (Clean Radio Edit)”
I had AL for this content warning Robbins song, especially when I saw tha “Burn Motherfucker Burn” part of tha title too online! I thought it was gonna be a remake but it’s a HOT new song!! Tha beat iz DEFINITELY cool here and tha lyrics fit GR8 for tha Dance world! Gotta luv new discovered talent! :tu It’s ALWAYS a GR8 thing ta go a different route wit your lyrics, ESPECIALLY makin’ them explicit, strong and meaningful! Gotta luv tha “burn, motherfucker burn!!” part @ 1:43! :tu My Current Rating: 4.3


05. J Brazil “Girl I’m Tryin’ (Weekend Radio Edit)”
Had a pretty bad 1st listen so let’s see what happens now… I don’t like how Ultra Records be signin’ these non-Dance songs; WTF @ tha Cyndi Lauper sample? I’m not likin’ this; too mainstream! :td Tha lyrics are like ehh, especially wit tha Auto-Tune. :td I’m glad no one has this song yet, that I know of! ;) My Rating: 1.5


06. Sun “Fancy Free (Dave Audé Radio Edit)”
Talk about from a shitty song to a REAL GR8 song!!! What a GR8 COMEBACK!!! :tu And DA doin’ a kick-ass mix again!! :tu Sun comin’ through wit tha kick-ass lyrics too; gotta luv that there’s a lot of ‘em!! :) Even tha title iz pretty catchy too! I wish I was “fancy free” ‘cause I got tons of shit goin’ on consistently; I love it though! My Current Rating: 4.7


07. Three 6 Mafia & Tiёsto Feat. Sean Kingston & Flo Rida “Feel It (Clean Radio Edit)”
This iz a jam right here!! It doesn’t fit wit tha Rap music I listen to these dayz and I’m surprised mainstream outlets aren’t on this… They should luv this ‘cause Tiёsto has a name for himself (glad he produced this ‘cause he did a NICE job) and tha rest of tha artists are pretty big. Mainstream songs like this should have these kinda beats ‘cause they get me listenin’. I ignore all tha SK/Flo Rida-type shit dat comes out but this iz good. Glad Dance and Rap people are makin’ good music! :tu My Current Rating: 4.4


08. BoA “Energetic (Razor N Guido Radio Edit)”
Couldn’t find it before but now I see it on YouTube. I know I like my Mike Rizzo mix so I have doubts for this mix… >>> Not off to a good start; boring beat. At least wit tha MR mix, tha beat already had captured me quickly. It sounds like though this beat iz pickin’ up before tha chorus. They did somethin’ to tha vocals durin’ tha chorus, which sounded okay, I guess. Sounds more like a dub mix here. I’m glad MCH got tha original version though ‘cause you KNOW when you don’t come from tha U.S., you’re DEFINITELY a hottie!! My Rating: 3.6


09. Ke$ha “TiK ToK (Fred Falke Radio Edit)”
After hearin’ my gurl at college Alexia make her own picture/music video to this song, I feel VERY addicted to it!! It has been with me since October and it’s STILL goin’ STRONG!! I think it’s an above average mix. I’m glad artists are goin’ more towards tha Dance-Pop feel these dayz. :tu Catchy club lyrics here and you KNOW I gotta go for sum Ke$ha! Dat chorus iz SO ADDICTING!!! My Current Rating: 4.5


10. Blake Lewis “Heartbreak On Vinyl (Bimbo Jones Radio Edit)”
TIME TO THROW UP!!! :td Sadly, one of tha more betta-soundin’ BJ mixes, this song just has VERY SAD lyrics to listen to!! UGH, tha last chorus (“TiK ToK”) was addicting. This, it’s HORRIBLY ADDICTING in a BAD WAY!!! Who calls their store “Heartbreak On Vinyl???” :confused Glad this’ll be tha last time I’ll hear this! ;) I honestly can’t listen to this ‘cause of tha EXTREMELY saddened lyrics!! My Current Rating: 2.2


½time: Well, a bunch of tha songs were familiar to me before this CD even came out. Basically, Sun’s song iz EASILY tha best without a doubt! Tha average CD rating iz only at 3.8 right now. I don’t remember what ta expect for tha rest of tha CD so we’ll see how it rides out.


11. Kaylah Marin “On The Floor (Oh Baby Please) (Josh Harris Remix Edit)”
Again, we have tha transition from shitty to GREATNESS on this CD!! Gotta feel tha return of JH on tha mix and tha vocals here sound gr8! Even MCD picked it up for a “late night” song; good exposure for a start! There should’ve been more in tha chorus but as long as tha vocals are hot wit tha beat, tha song sounds hot already! Tha verses are catchy too. As strong as tha vocals are at times, my favorite part iz @ 3:40 – 3:50. My Current Rating: 4.3


12. Vassy “History (Jump Smokers Remix Edit)”
Anotha MCD “late night” add earlier this week. On FL, it sounded just decent and “blah blah” mainstream soundin’ for an Ultra song. However, when I heard tha chorus, it sounds like it’ll catch in a big way, whether it’s mainstream sources or wit me. I know it’ll be a success wit me… Glad tha chorus iz really catchy and you KNOW I luv tha content of “someone bein’ history!!” For 2010, I don’t even PREDICT any idiot/assholes comin’ and stayin’ in my life! :tu My Current Rating: 4.1
EDIT: Little did I know, I met someone in 2010 from Baton Rouge, LA and a year later, they stole $555 from me; crazy!!


13. Rihanna “Russian Roulette (Chew Fu Black Russian Radio Mix)”
Oh no, back to tha BS… I can’t believe how HORRIBLE this mix iz vs. tha Max Methods Remix! :confused Why did PO go wit this mix? There’s NO seriousness in this slow song!! WTF did MCD pick up this mix and pretty much ditch tha MM mix? :td WTF iz up wit tha mix name also?? Because of her new HORRIBLE song, “Hard,” I feel like this song iz R.I.P.’d now. Tha BPM should’ve been 80-90, not no 130, smh. My Current Rating: 1.1


14. The Angry Kids vs. The Lives Of Famous Men “Annie Taylor (The Angry Kids FM Edit)”
YT’ing it and it sounds a lil’ weird once again for a start. Tha slow start iz catchy for Pop stations but this iz Dance we’re talkin’ about now… Their “I Ran (So Far Away)” remake three years ago was much better and MUCH betta remixed! As for this remake-soundin’ song, it’s just on tha weird-type. What happened to tha really fast/creative beat remakes? I guess no exposure for this song too, huh, lol? My Rating: 2.6


15. 50 Cent Feat. Ne-Yo “Baby By Me (Digital Dog Radio Edit)”
As I’m not into tha original versions of songs like these, there’s always people like DD to save tha day! It’s DEFINITELY a HOT remix so thumbs up to tha DD! It doesn’t have dat much power from when I first got it so I’m not sure if I’m gonna put it on my 2010 year-end countdown. Gotta luv tha fastness, lol. My Current Rating: 4.0


16. Jason Derϋlo “Whatcha Say (WaWa Remix)”
This iz anotha hot remix (especially since it’s WW on tha mix) but this izn’t like a ’10 song for me. Tha original version took ova durin’ tha Fall and I got this remix around tha same time ‘cause I liked tha original. We’ll see how long he stays around for ‘cause he gets a plus from me. Tha chorus (which iz tha 2nd chorus on this mix) iz catchy; gotta luv tha voice/sample! My Current Rating: 4.2


17. David May “Superstar (Richard Vission Radio Edit)”
I didn’t know what ta expect from this one but when I heard tha Rolling Stones/The Verve “Bittersweet Symphony” sound, I KNEW it was gonna sound HOT, ESPECIALLY wit this mix!! Tha vocals even sound cool on a mix like this. I heard it in Johnny Budz’s mix on MCD and didn’t think it was gonna be a song that was gonna do its thang. My Current Rating: 4.0


18. Shiny Toy Guns “Major Tom (Adam K & Soha Radio Edit)”
Hearin’ on a Google search (Podcast) and they say this iz a remake… Tha 2nd listen here sounds betta/mega catchy. Tha beat iz cool on tha Vocal Trance style here. I liked their “Le Disko” song a lot better though from three years ago (damn, time flies, lol). Tha chorus has that Vocal Trance-type of sound to it too, thanx to AK&S! Tha rest of tha song sounded gr8 too; definitely on tha catchy level! I hope it has some success in tha future! My Current Rating: 3.9


19. Brian Anthony “Electricity (Sunfreakz Radio Edit)”
It’s an okay song for what it iz. I’m surprised MCD picked it up. Sounds kinda slow wit Sunfreakz on tha mix… Wit tha last song of his, “Worked Up!,” it at least had a hot mix! Plus, why have a feature on PO (as an error) when tha featured dude ain’t on this? I would like ta hear tha rappin’ although I look at it like where did rappin’ mix wit this song? I’m assumin’ tha rappin’ would originally be after tha 2nd verse? Didn’t like that plain breakdown without tha rappin’. :td My Current Rating: 3.4


20. Utada “Dirty Desire (Mike Rizzo Radio Edit)”
All my AL was on tha table wit this song (behind Sun’s song), especially bein’ curious about tha content warning! It sounds hot for a start wit tha MR beat and Utada doin’ her thang! Tha chorus sounds cool/hot; you KNOW I get a turn on here and there! I read on YT that there’s racy lyrics here so that’s why there’s a content warning. Even tha vocals are VERY much on tha HOT tip!! Too bad tha mainstream media doesn’t go for HOT songs like these… Maybe MCD’ll pick it up as a “late night” song? Now, I feel like I don’t want it ta end!! I’m glad it has 40 seconds left!! Even tha ending was HOT wit tha HOT part in tha chorus!! My Current Rating: 4.4


21. Sir Ivan “Kumbaya (Christopher Lawrence Radio Edit)”
Tha last song and it sounds interesting fa what it iz. Both tha artist and tha mixer names look familiar… Hearin’ tha title and it sounds like a remake. There’s a hot lil’  beat here; likin’ tha style! :tu Ooh, a female snuck into tha song durin’ tha 2nd part! Pretty interestin’ here for this lil’ remake. Definitely feelin’ tha beat here! :tu My Current Rating: 4.3


Overall: I thought this CD did a NICE job!! Tha average CD rating wasn’t that high but there were a lotta gr8 songs on here!! I know February’ll do a NICE job too!! Let’s keep tha music up for tha new decade!!!
