Review #1,278: Promo Only: Dance Radio March 2013

Reviewed on 3.10.2013 (Review #1,278)


It’s now here… Promo Only: Dance Radio March 2013; let’s see what goes on… Start Time: 11:15 PM | End Time: 12:16 AM


Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to 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.
 
© 2013 CD Review (Review #1,278) reviewed on 3.10.2013 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. Krewella “Come & Get It”
I was wrong about “Alive”, lol! I said that it wasn’t gonna be big as “Killin’ It”, but it went pop, recently! And now, let’s see how they follow it up!! >>> Ooh @ tha vocal start; reminds me of somethin’ that’s gonna sound “Killin’ It”-like!! I still think PO’s wrong for tha BPM; this sounds DNBish, which tha BPM should be in tha 170s! Kick-ass beat sounds and tha vocals are hot wit tha lyrics!!! Almost sounds like dirty lyrics with how tha 2nd verse starts, lol; “mouth to mouth!” My Rating: 4.7


02. Tegan & Sara “Closer (Morgan Page Radio Edit)”
MCD & Party 105 got it fast; guess it’s gonna be big… Well, gave it, like, one listen, but here’s tha official listen for me, as I pay attenion. >>> These two twin-sister lesbians sound good for this and this beat; sounds a lil’ quiet wit tha vocals, here and there… Not bad for a song, overall… My Rating: 3.9


03. Icona Pop Feat. Charli XCX “I Love It”
ROFL @ this song!! Tha title says it all!! It’s kinda old now, and I wasn’t gonna continue to play it in 2013. However, it’s now my theme song to CALL people when they DON’T call me back!!! So, it re-entered my playlist fa tha 2013, as it seems to try to enter tha pop world… ROFL @ this edit: “I threw your stuff…” I remember tha 1st time I heard this: “You’re from tha ‘70s, but I’m a ‘90s bitch;” I was like, “Ugh, people younger than me!” But, MCD playin’ it a lot made me IC it back last October… My Current Rating: 4.9


04. Morgan Page Feat. Nadia Ali “Carry Me”
Two for MP already, lol. Seemed to get out there fast, since MCD got it. Now, lemme give it tha payin’-attention review/listen! >>> Gotta luv tha beginning beat! Nice lil’ collaboration and some new dance music for tha 2013! “Oooh” @ tha chorus and NA’s voice! Nice… I dunno how big it’ll be for me, but we’ll see how tha spins add up! I’ve been tryin’ to listen to all tha songs on my playlist each day, so tha spins should be good… My Rating: 4.2


05. Vassy “We Are Young (Dave Audé Radio Edit)”
When I saw tha title, I was like, “PO, please, no fun. song for 2013,” but it’s a new song from that “History” (1/10) artist. Finally, a new song after three years… >>> Nice lil’ start; tha beat sounds cool after tha chorus, you know, tha long music part… Sounds like just a chorus; cheerleading anthem? Not bad, overall… My Rating: 3.9


06. Gimm+Icky “Shake That (Jump Smokers Edit – Remix)”
What this be ‘bout? >>> Ehh @ tha start; sounds “icky,” like tha artist name… Not really into this; don’t like tha vocals, beat & tha “w-w-w-work it” shit in tha background… My Rating: 1.7


07. Depeche Mode “Heaven (Freemasons Radio Edit)”
Good return for FM, but a lil’ on tha lower AL for tha artist… >>> Ehh, where plus and minus collide, as I like tha beat intro, but am not really into this beginning wit this 30-year-old group… Yucky chorus… Watch this get spins on my playlist or somethin’, although tha review ain’t too good… My Rating: 3.5


08. Daddy’s Grove “Stellar”
What could this be ‘bout…? >>> Sounds like Linkin Park and a pop sound in tha beginning… Ehh, not “stellar” for me; very dry iz more like it. Some cool music comin’ outta this, here and there, but like tha previous songs, there’s tha minuses. Almost sounds Avicii-ish wit tha music after tha chorus, but I’m still like, “This iz random,” for this song… Now that there’s more music parts, I’m feelin’ it a lil’ more; we’ll see how this does on tha dance outlets… My Rating: 3.8


09. Baauer “Harlem Shake”
At 2:07, this iz tha shortest PO song, ever…, sadly. Though not tha 1st song for me, this seems like tha explosion for trap music, a combination of EDM & my dirty south rap music, according to what I read online? Doesn’t sound like tha exact mix of genres I’d expect, but how’d this get so big? I dunno why I have to review it, either… Someone sent me a video they made wit this song, and I was like, “Cool/interesting.” Then, I heard that 3,000+ videos a day to this song were bein’ uploaded to YouTube; what???! Why did MCD have to get this and not MCE? Just ‘cause it’s popular, smh? Debuted at #1 on tha Billboard Hot 100 chart, too, smh?!? My Current Rating: 3.0


½time: So far, a weird CD; a 3.7 for tha CD rating, currently.


10. Arianna Feat. Pitbull “Sexy People (The Fiat Song) (Liam Keegan Radio Remix)”
Could we have a new female? Pitbull on tha feature, so it could make a career pop off… >>> Sounds like either an Italian or Spanish sample in tha beginning; a lil’ bit of a turn-off, as usual… Hot beat on tha chorus, but once again, this gon go down as somethin’ not great for me… My Rating: 2.7


11. Emeli Sandé “Next To Me (James Egbert Radio Edit)”
>>> This ain’t really for “me,” either. It’s one of those boring HMs. Funny how I heard her on an MCE song feature in 2009 and now, she’s blowin’ up on tha adult contemporary charts and everywhere? She’s ‘bout to reach Adele status, as far as I’m concerned, with her quality of singing… My Rating: 2.1


12. Alexis Jordan “Acid Rain”
For some reason, tha “No Rap Edit” gives me AL; that’s weird… >>> Oh wait, familiar beat? Originally, I didn’t know this ‘til I figured it out by lookin’ at tha Far*East Movement/Bingo Players “Rattle” song, thanx to a Party 105 spin. Now, she’s using it as a background beat? This, like, tha 2nd time; ain’t she a beat stealer, lol? It sounds okay/good; not bad, although it’s hotter when it’s tha “Rattle” beat than tha chorus, dancey beat… My Rating: 4.1


13. Chris Cox & DJ Frankie Feat. Crystal Waters “Oh Mama Hey (Original Radio Edit)”
One year after “Le Bump”, here’s CW again, wit a nice collaboration!! >>> Not sure about tha beginning, but this ain’t too bad, overall. Sounds like a random chorus, but I’m likin’ it for a start… Expected a lil’ better with tha beat; reminds me a lil’ bit of a Spanish anthem or somethin’… My Rating: 4.0


14. Dark Intensity “Adrenaline”
Gonna be a mystery ID, based off tha beginning because… >>> HOT BEAT START!! Ooh, no words? Ooh, guess tha ID doesn’t matter ‘cause it sounds good!! *Checks ID* Oh, wow! Thought I would’ve recognized it since I hear their mixshow on MCD (which they featured “Cannonball” in, so I guess I should have more AL for them)!! Caught me by surprise!! Real nice soundin’…! IDS = SERIOUSNESS when tha beat sounds play!!! It’s like you’re staring tha song into its eyes, lol!!! My Rating: 4.7


15. Passion Pit “Carried Away (Tiësto Radio Edit)”
Not really into alternative music for this CD, at tha moment. MCD got it and I thought it sounded weird. Here goes my review… >>> Yea, tha vocals are weird, this time; kinda threw me off… Well, tha music part after tha chorus iz pretty nice; I guess that’s always where tha cake iz, right? My Rating: 3.6


16. Kelsey B “See Dis (Noise Mac vs. Carrillo Radio Mix)”
Saw pics of her recently and she looked real hot! However, my AL ain’t too high for this, since her 1/11 PO song was, like, as good as nothing. Let’s see how this goes… >>> Ehh, a lil’ on tha undaground tip for me; doesn’t sound like a dance beat at all for tha beginning. ROFL @ her random rhymes and kitty noises, lol… “Dis” in tha title, but not tha best for me, lol… My Rating: 2.6


17. Shara Strand “Jekyll Or Hyde (Mike Rizzo Radio Edit)”
Heard this song so long ago last year on one of Mike Rizzo’s mixshows on MCD, titled, “Jekyll Or Hyde,” ironically. Now, I heard tha song again on Party 105 & saw tha artist name, so now, I know it! Plus, I have it!! Sounds pure wit tha music and tha vocals are real great!! Always luved that chorus wit tha title part; kick-ass!!! Hope MCD makes room for it in regular rotation, since they’ve been showin’ it mixshow luv!! Oh, just luv tha music after tha chorus!!! Whooo!!!! My Current Rating: 4.8


18. Swedish House Mafia Feat. John Martin “Don’t You Worry Child”
No need for a review. Like my PO phone call said, I guess obtaining licenses from major label songs like this, with Katy Perry’s label, iz hard to come by. No wonder why there hasn’t been no Katy Perry songs on these POs, recently. My Current Rating: 4.4


Overall: This wasn’t really that good of a PO. It had a bunch of shitty songs, but tha songs that were good were REAL good, lol.
