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!

01.
Rihanna “Only Girl (In The World) (Mixin’ Marc & Tony Svejda Radio Mix)”
Startin’
to get addicted to tha original so I almost feel like there’s no need for a
mix. MCD got a plain Bimbo Jones mix but I have a feelin’ this’ll be good
‘cause MM&TS seem to be doin’ they thang! >>> Sounds plain for tha
start but at :45 wit tha chorus, it picks up, soundin’ like tha
original—upgraded. Well, they did better mixin’ other songs that were just
average. I guess tha better original version doesn’t need a mix, lol. My Rating: 3.5
02.
Axwell Feat. Errol Reid “Nothing But Love”
ROFL, for some reason, I thought this was, like, #13 or somethin’, lol. I didn’t expect it to come up so soon but MCD’s showin’ it “love,” lol. Kinda just an okay song but sounds betta when reviewin’ it (I guess ‘cause of it playin’ on my boombox). Chorus iz catchy, but a lil’ ehh at tha same time wit tha repetitiveness. I do like tha bridge wit tha computerized vocals, lol. My Current Rating: 3.7

03.
Shakira Feat. Dizzee Rascal “Loca (Freemasons Radio Mix)”
ROFL,
thought this was later, too. This iz more on tha sexy side. Tha music’s cool
but doesn’t sound that FM-ish. ROFL @ Shakira recruitin’ DR. It’s like, she
didn’t want an American rapper or somethin’, lol? Just keepin’ it all
non-Domestic, lol. It iz a good
collab and sounds better on my boombox, too. Funny dat MCD plays a radio edit
where “shit” iz said in DR’s verse; funny. My
Current Rating: 4.2
04.
Armin Van Buuren vs. Sophie Ellis Bextor “Not Giving Up On Love”
Sad
that 131 iz tha new “fastest” for PO. Caught a
lil’ bit on MCD but I waited for tha review. >>> Good collab and
interestin’ sound, too. Sounds good, especially tha chorus; good job, SEB, on
tha comeback! Sounds better after tha 1st chorus? Definitely nice
shit here! It’s about TIME another
AVB song hit PO! So many were released onto
mainstream sources but “Going Wrong” was tha last one that hit PO, smh. Damn, this was real short, lol? I know “Broken
Tonight” has about tha same length but that didn’t seem that short. My Rating: 4.3
05.
Daniela “You & I”
Ms.
“Every Word”/”Summerfish” girl? Looks like it although not Nervous on tha
signin’, Robbins instead. I have AL
for this, so let’s hear how good it iz. I have a feelin’ it’ll have that Ron
Reeser & Dan Saenz sound; I guess I’m sayin’ dat ‘cause “Above All”’s
playing on MCD right now, lol. >>> LOL, not tha RR&DS sound but a
sound that’s uplifting and I like! Wow, I feel AL buildin’ up on this; so far, soundin’
hotter and hotter! Maybe it iz a
different Daniela ‘cause I’m recheckin’ and I see that tha other one has two
L’s in her name? Tha chorus iz pretty hot and tha song itself, overall! :tu My Rating: 4.5
06.
Jean-Claude Ades vs. Lenny Fontana Feat. Tyra Juliette “Nite Time”
Call
it tha PO fulla “vs.”, lol! This has tha most
I’ve eva seen! Let’s keep tha bangerz comin’ along! >>> LOL, we have a
weird start here but I have a feelin’ tha music’ll be good… Okay, music’s kinda
plain for a start and those vocals keep goin’ here, lol. LOL, funny-soundin’
song. Tha music iz good during tha
chorus, so this iz a plus here. :tu These funny-soundin’ vocals make me think
this’ll be big in tha mainstream or somethin’. Catchy-soundin’ flow wit how tha
weird vocals are delivered. My Rating: 4.1
07.
Erick Morillo & Eddie Thoneick Feat. Shawnee
Taylor “Live
Your Life”
MCD
plays this pretty often. I liked tha “Nothing Better” song better from earlier
in tha Summer wit Shena. This iz still good/decent for a song. Tha way that
“give it up…” part sounds, it reminds me of a song that’s, like, huge in
mixshows or somethin’; I can feel it, lol. Tha last bunch of songs (excluding
Rihanna) have been on tha shorter side. I dunno about this one, soundin’ on tha
plain side, bein’ 3:43… Prolly could’ve been a lil’ shorter but w/e, it don’t
really matter. My Current Rating: 3.7
08.
Baker “Echo (Mike Rizzo Funk Generation Radio Mix)”
I
see AL on
this. Lemme make sure if it was Dance though… New label, so I’ll assume until I
hear it! >>> Male vocals here that fit pretty good wit tha hot MR
music… Kinda HM-ish on tha 1st verse so I’m not sure. For some
reason, I’m slowly becomin’ distracted and bored as tha song goes on… My Rating: 3.6
09.
J786 “Rock Tonight (Dave Audé Radio Edit)”
Anotha
unknown for me and tha label. Let’s see if this iz better than tha MR-mixed
song… >>> Music sounds pretty good but we have that HM/male vocals
sound here… This may be a lil’ more on tha Dance tip wit tha chorus although it
might have to get a 3.6 from me, too, to tie-breaker it up. Ooh, hidden female
vocals in tha bridge; how unexpected (in a good way). Same rating but this
breaks tha tie-breaker in tha end. My
Rating: 3.6
10.
Ultraviolet Sound “Suck My Kiss (Johnny Vicious Radio Edit)”
Could’ve
been tha 3rd one in a row that was an unknown/new label. But, I saw
this on PO Mainstream Radio, so I think this gon be an official HM. I like tha
title, though, and tha mix could be hot. So, I expect this to be hotter than
tha last few songs! >>> LOL, a “mwah” before tha 1st verse
started. Sounds like this’ll have more success in tha Dance world than tha Pop
world for some reason (I know how some of these songs are when their label iz
unknown but sounds Pop-ish at tha same time). I thought tha music would be a
lil’ betta but it’s still cool; I like how it sounds during tha chorus. BTW,
tha chorus iz pretty hot, too. LOL, even ended wit dat tasty (lol) kiss! My Rating:
3.9
½time: Sounds like a pretty
good, Dance-type CD here for PO! I’m sure tha
2nd ½ gon be better, so I gon get hyped up right now! Currently, tha
average CD rating sits at a 3.9.
11.
Swedish House Mafia vs. Tinie Tempah “Miami 2 Ibiza (Clean Radio Edit)”
My
college station iz slowly becoming a lil’ dancey this semester. They got
Underworld’s “ALAF” and they even picked up “One (Your Name)”. LOL, let’s see
how dis gon sound for a follow-up… >>> LOL, uh oh, rappin’! :rofl
Sounds like Kanye West a lil’ bit. I automatically didn’t think my college
station would pick this up but after hearin’ tha rappin’, they’ll prolly get
it. They’re not too big wit Rap songs but they do get some songs that are from
non-mainstream areas. LOL, hot chorus and once again, doin’ tha damn thang wit
dat music after tha chorus!! Interestin’ letter-spelled words in tha 2nd
verse; thumbs up! My Rating: 4.3
12.
Mischa Daniels Feat. J-Son “Where You Wanna Go”
A
comeback here… Looking forward (as always)! >>> LOL, back to tha weird
male vocals again. Reminds me of David Guetta/Kid Cudi “Memories” although this
iz pretty interestin’ wit tha vocal/good music combo. Pretty cool for a song
although I’m not too interested in hearin’ tha chorus 2x each time. My Rating: 3.7
13.
Julissa Veloz “Predator (Ray Roc & Gabe Ramos Radio Edit)”
Glad
to see not one but TWO Carrillo-signed
songs on this CD! Her “Take Control” song from tha March CD was good, although
had little exposure. I’m lookin’ forward to hearin’ her new song!! >>>
Sounds more on tha sexy tip here wit how tha music sounds and her vocal
delivery. Although 3:43, it sounds like this song iz goin’ kinda quick… Ooh,
“Predator” for a title, I see! DEFINITELY nice here and although I sadly don’t
think this’ll get that much exposure, I’ll be here to support it. I’m sure I’ll
be addin’ it in a good time ‘cause if I add it December or January, I ain’t
gotta worry about goin’ through SO MUCH HELL wit college!! Tha bridge sounds
pretty hot, too! Julissa should be one of those that should get lots of
exposure in tha Dance world. She’s pretty hot for a female and has my
anticipation, too! My Rating: 4.3
14.
Sito Rock a.k.a. Sito Oner Rock “Let Go”
MCD
got this around tha same time they got this new Pitbull song that has, like,
100% Dance in tha beat. Because of dat, when I first saw them play this, I was
like, “Wow, anotha new mainstream artist havin’ a Dance-beat sound?” This so sounds like it could be tha next
mainstream hit mainly ‘cause of its sound and tha old “Don’t Go” sample. Tha
beat’s real catchy (of course) and I really like dat chorus. It’s almost like a
“don’t fuck wit me”-type, lol! Real interestin’ song that came outta nowhere
for me, lol! My Current Rating: 4.2
15.
Liviu Hodor Feat. Tara “Happy For You”
3:50
on this length and somethin’ that looks anticipatin’. Checkin’ to see who
signed it and it’s Ultra. What will this result in? >>> Sounds like
it’s gonna be a slow Dance song. Now, it sounds like it’s gonna be quiet too;
tha vocals are pretty quiet. Definitely a lil’ interestin’ here, lol. Could be
tha next duet to do it big? Tha chorus came outta nowhere and iz pretty hot wit
tha Tara lady. My Rating: 4.1
16.
Tiffany Dunn “Shut The Front Door (Got My Girls) (Seamus Haji Radio Mix)”
LOL,
this song… MCD plays it quite often and it sounds like it’s crazy, lol. Sounds
like it could annoy people but it’s good to have anotha female. Saw tha label
and it’s on tha borderline tip, fa sho. >>> Thought this would be tha
MCD mix (they don’t list a mix) but this iz a new mix and I’m likin’ how it
sounds. It distracts me from all those vocals throughout tha pre-chorus and
chorus. Neva recognized tha “GMG” part in tha
MCD version. LOL, I like tha “shut, shut, shut tha front door” part in tha MCD
version; why does it have it less on this mix? Oh, there it iz at 2:14 but wit
no music, lol? Oh, now it builds up. It’s like mixin’ ketchup wit soup, lol! My Rating: 3.7
17.
Celia “My Story”
Definitely
have an AL on
this. Looks like it’s not Domestic, yet, ‘cause Soltrenz signed. I forget if it
was Sarah Mattea’s song or AnnaGrace; prolly was AG, but I remember last year
that ST had one of their songs before tha Domestic signin’. Let’s see how good
this iz, finally… >>> DEFINITELY a very hot start wit tha “Stereo
Love”-kinda sound, lol. Looks like anotha REAL HOT song comin’ outta nowhere on
this CD!! Tha vocals DEFINITELY get a plus here and it sounds like this’ll be
my top song, beating out Daniela? More softer on tha music than tha Daniela
song but this has a huge turn on wit how it sounds, lol! :tu Damn, only 1:03
left and tha 2nd chorus iz on. I think I gon crave for this! Ooh,
even a bridge takin’ over; good shit! Hope it gets some NICE exposure like “Stereo Love”! My Rating: 4.6
18.
Sunrise Inc. vs. Starchild “Lick Shot”
I
think somethin’ funny gon come outta this wit Ultra on tha signin’, too, lol!
>>> Sounds more serious for a Dance sound instead, lol; I judged it
wrong at first. ROFL, maybe it iz
pretty funny wit tha chorus, lol! How random and so rapid! :rofl Then, you get
tha pretty good music after, lol! This iz another mainstream-ish Dance song
that’s pretty interestin’. I guess we gon have a GR8 2011! Plus, I FINALLY have a car now, which could
draw more airplay! My Rating: 4.2
19.
Jared Dietch & Mitch LJ Feat. Polina “Limit Is The Sky”
Just
saw tha label and once I looked at tha artist, I just remembered that Jared
Dietch iz The Camel Rider’s real name (which no less, tha label iz Camel Rider
itself). I even know of Polina, too, so DEFINITELY AL on this!! >>>
I’m likin’ tha quiet start. Will this sound a lil’ like “Get Together” wit tha
music? Well, not much goin’ on in tha beat although my interest iz still stickin’
around. Ooh, tha beat’s soundin’ pretty nice @ 1:01; definite plus! MCD should
get this. They got a song wit Polina as an import in ’04 and loved “Get
Together” so I don’t see why not. That part from 2:10 – 2:17 sounds hot wit
just a beat! My Rating: 4.2
20.
Ronnie Sumrall Feat. Shefali “Breakin’ Out (Sted E & Hybrid
Heights Radio Edit)”
Last
song, and it looks like anotha duet! Tha 2nd Carrillo song to make
this CD and I’m ALWAYS down for tha
anticipation wit clean earholes dedicated to anticipatin’ music, lol! :rofl How
will it sound? Very anticipated… >>> Startin’ off wit Shefali,
soundin’ pretty hot. Interestin’ lyrics… They’re both on tha chorus and it’s
not bad. Sounds like there’s not much goin’ on here but I’ll keep listenin’…
Okay, RS’s vocalizin’ before tha 2nd verse… Now, here he iz on tha 2nd
verse, soundin’ pretty good. He a late-night owl, as he “goes to bed at 4,” lol. Now, Shefali’s takin’ over tha 2nd
chorus, soundin’ better than tha 1st one. Also, tha music’s gettin’
a lil’ better. Not bad on a 1st listen although I’ll prolly just
keep this until tha end of this year. I don’t think it’ll have tha strength to
breakthrough into 2011 wit me. I’m confident in Julissa’s song though! My Rating: 3.8
Overall: Turned out to be a good
CD for me! I liked that there was a lot of new Dance music and a bunch of
different labels coming into play! Keep up tha good work, PO!
