01.
David Guetta Feat. Sam Martin “Dangerous (Robin Schulz Radio Edit)”
Oh,
dear God, our “Waves” producer again, no less to start tha new PO off… Import label, Parlophone, as well as mainstream
label, Atlantic, on tha signing, here…
>>> I don’t like tha start, but I do like tha 1st verse…
Oh, tha music’s gettin’ to me, in a good way! Pretty good, overall, for a slow
song. My Rating: 3.8
02.
R3hab & Trevor Guthrie “Soundwave”
Spinnin’
in tha buildin’!! As soon as I saw tha 2nd artist, I thought it was
a DJ. Then again, it’s tha “This Is What It Feels Like” pop vocalist, lol…
Kinda hate how Music Choice Dance’s still playin’ “Unstoppable” (memories of
hangin’ out) and not showin’ much luv to “Ready For The Weekend”… But, I know
this anotha hot one! Lemme give it my review! >>> An okay start, but
then, tha nice chorus kicks in! Diggin’ tha music and vocals! And, anotha nice
drop from Mr. Hab, himself, lol! See, now, this iz more like it! Quality, not
quantity for “This Is What It Feels Like” views on YouTube, lol! My Rating: 4.6
03.
Avicii Feat. Robbie Williams “The Days”
Uh
oh, I’m gonna fall asleep, after bein’ awake for 11 hours & working!!
Nooooooooooooooo!!!
…
…
Um,
PRMD, Island & Republic Records, here. MCD got it and really, do I need to
review this, right now? Here’s what gon come outta my mouth… >>> Look
at this stupid acoustic start, with a dance sound effect, smh. When will this
guy quit these awkward, non-dance vocal songs and instruments? Ugh! My God,
why?! Can’t deal with this; sour chorus! Can I eat a Sour Kreme donut, now,
while listenin’ to this?! Or, a Spinach Artichoke bagel?! I hope this song
flops bad, but too bad it won’t ‘cause of this dickriding mainstream world
we’re in, smh… Pretty lame for a drop to take 3:08 to get to; guitar solo,
instead, lol? Ouch @ this! My Rating: 1.3
EDIT: Uh oh, Wikipedia search:
“Featuring uncredited vocals from English singer-songer Robbie Williams.” Damn,
nobody showin’ that former pop star luv…, lol?
04.
TJR Feat. Dances With White Girls “Ass Hypnotized”
Damn,
can I recover from that bullshit Avicii song? Looks like an interesting,
funny-lookin’ song, here… Signed with Chris Lake’s
Rising label, once again, here comes Mr. TJR wit anotha one!! >>>
Almost thought it was gonna be a female vocalist, here, but this sounds decent,
so far… Kinda sounds like all his other songs with tha drop, so basically, it’s
just an “ass” song, instead of an “Oi” song, a “Suckaz” song, or a Good
Charlotte song, lol. Though it’s just decent for me, I have a feelin’ this gon
be in for some good times! As my manager says, “You’re in for a huge raise!!” Holy, “huge” add rate on
my playlist soon?! Hope so!! She did a yearly review on me, lol! I did 1,418
reviewz and now, I got one of my own! Outta all tha ratings, I got a 4.7 of a
5.0!! Pretty nice!! Tha highest outta tha employees!! My Rating: 3.7
05.
Sak Noel, DJ Kuba & Neitan Feat. Mayra Verónica “No Boyfriend (Radio Vocal
Mix)”
Here,
we got MvA Music (Mayra’s label) & Noel Music (Sak’s label) on tha labels,
here. Whoo, this looks like it gon be a party anthem! Can’t believe 2 ½ years
went by since tha last domestic release by SN: “Paso (The Nini Anthem)”! And,
with Mayra sharin’ that video of me on her Facebook, you know I always have my anticipation
ready for her!! >>> Sounds like a horny vibe, lol! Sounds like tha
previous Sak Noel songs, with tha way tha vocals are delivered. However, it’s different
with tha vocalist, this time. And, tha drop’s pretty nice; sounds like tha TJR
one, a lil’ bit. Overall, this was pretty nice! Kinda diggin’ that there’s a
bunch of three-minute-or-less songs on this CD, already! My Rating: 4.2
06.
Chris Lake “Goodbye”
Speakin’
of CL, here he iz. Goin’ with an Ultra release, here, MCD got this, and I think
this goes good with wavin’ “goodbye” to tha hangin’ out with my former friend!
>>> Anotha song on this CD with uncredited vocals… Pretty nice beats…
Overall, a lil’ repetitive, at times, but it’s still good to hear a lotta music
in this… My Rating: 4.0
07.
Duke Dumont “Won’t Look Back (Star Slinger Remix)”
Astralwerks
on tha label, here… Surprised that everyone picked up tha crossing-over “I Got
U”. Now, this. And, I’m not really feelin’ it; don’t like tha vocals for a deep
house song. I don’t think this remix’ll help, either… >>> Yeah, this
ain’t really that good. Music’s okay for this pace, but nothin’ I’d die for… My Rating: 2.6
08.
Nick Jonas “Jealous (The Rooftop Boys Radio Edit)”
Nooooooooooo,
not a Jonas Brother!! Let alone, 117 BPM for an unknown set of remixers?!
Island & Republic on tha labels… >>> Yucky start; let’s start a
boy band!! Whoo!! SMFH! I can’t take these kiddy vocals serious… Drop iz only
decent for this pace, but still, no interest from me! My Rating: 1.2
09.
Cobra Starship Feat. Icona Pop “Never Been In Love (Liam Keegan Radio Edit)”
Looks
like we got some “Good Girls” that “Go Bad”, lol? I think this gon be a hot
collab!! Pop-rock labels, Decaydance & Fueled By Ramen on tha label, here…
>>> IP luvs their “na-na-na-na-na”ing in their songs, lol… Hearin’ CS
on tha 1st verse, and it’s okay; nothin’ special, so far… Hearin’
tha chorus and it’s okay, as well; thought it was gonna be catchier… I expected
more EDM-like style than a hit-mixed-soundin’ song… Really diggin’ tha IP 2nd
verse with all tha “ick” rhymes! Overall, this ain’t too bad… I dunno how well
it gon do wit me, though… My Rating: 3.7
10.
Da Buzz “Bring Back The Summer”
Oh,
here we go!! Could possibly be my most-anticipated PO
song of tha year!!! Can’t believe it’s been a whoppin’ seven years since I last
heard from them (“Baby, Listen To Me”, from tha iPartyRadio dayz)!! Wonder if
they’re still signed with Airus Entertainment, domestically? If not, it’s
prolly Robbins… *Checks label…* Okay, a different label, here (Sunrise Records—never
heard of that label). Great to get a new song from Da Buzz! Can’t wait to hear
it!! Gotta be tha best song on this CD!! >>> Likin’ tha quiet start,
here, includin’ those pure vocals, as always!! Oh, this title gets me kinda
jealous of my long-lost friend!! It was one of my best “summer”s! Ooh, diggin’
tha chorus and drop!! Deliverin’ this joint pretty nicely! Likin’ it for a slow
dance song a lot!! Really feelin’ this a lot, includin’ tha nice lil’ bridge,
too! Great to have them “back” and I hope they stay!! Honestly, this gon be a
close call between this song and tha R3hab song. I think tha R3hab song gon win
in tha tie-breaker, but we must find out later! My Rating: 4.6
½time: So far, I’m likin’ this
CD a lot, but my statistics show that it’s suckin’…? Only a 3.4
for tha average CD rating, so far! It’s gotta
pick up, hopefully! We’ve had some anticipatin’ comebacks and I hope it
continues!! ‘Bout to enter Hour #13 of bein’ awake!
11.
Eden XO “Too
Cool To Dance (Wayne G Radio Edit)”
Ooh,
this newbie! Mainstream labels, Virgin & Capitol, on tha signing! From tha PO package that was sent to me, this was tha only artist
I never heard of before. I’m pretty anticipated to hear this, with Wayne G on
tha mix!! >>> Kinda a deep house start; not what I expected… Sounds
like a pop vibe that fits in tha dance world… I’m feelin’ her sexiness in her
voice. Tha chorus’ pretty nice; I’m diggin’ her vibe. There’s prolly better
mixes out there, but this iz fine for this PO…
Not too bad for a first listen, but I may have to go mix-hunting, lol… My Rating: 3.8
12.
Tom Swoon, Paris & Simo “Wait”
MCD
got this (‘cause it was on this PO) and it’s
pretty hot. Spinnin’ doin’ a great job showin’ luv to these kinda songs, and
here’s anotha one on this PO! Lemme rehear and
give it my review! >>> Diggin’ tha uncredited vocals and really diggin’ these beats!! Nice drop;
pretty dope track! My Rating: 4.5
13.
Jack U Feat. Kiesza “Take U There (Vindata Remix)”
Glad
to see that “Hideaway” crossed over into tha pop world… Heard this song on MCD
and it has some nice beats, but I never considered it. I dunno if a remix gon
save it for me, but it could… Big Beat & Atlantic Records on tha signing,
here… >>> Kinda sounds like tha MCD mix. If that’s tha case, I hate
when they don’t list tha mix… Yeah, one thing that didn’t strike me too much
was tha drop… Everything else sounds pretty good, includin’ this unique beat
durin’ tha verses… A lil’ slow for an official dance song; sounds good for a
nice urban song… My Current Rating: 3.9 (generous ‘cause of tha unique beat)
EDIT: It’s a different mix from
tha original on MCD. Drop’s completely tha same, so that’s what made me think
like that.
14. D.O.N.S. & Terri B! “Big Fun”
Carrillo
Music on tha signin’, here… Excited to see that label, but I know damn well
this gon be dance vs. dance! I mean, look at tha artist! Back in ’05, D.O.N.S.
did their “Pump Up The Jam” dance remake! Let’s see what they did to this Inner
City song… >>> A deep house sound with tha beat, here… Take :50 to get
to tha real intro, PO, lol… And yeah, this
exactly what I was talkin’ about: a cover! Same lyrics, but I’m diggin’ this
sound. Oh, here’s tha original song’s beat/chorus at 1:22… I dunno if it was
cool to revive this song; prolly could’ve just left it in those deep house
mixshows that play on MCD… Wow, tha long intro made this seem so short, lol.
LOL, one chorus! My Rating: 3.1
15.
Dr. Kucho! & Gregor Salto “Can’t Stop Playing (Oliver Heldens & Gregor
Salto Remix Edit)”
For
a high anticipation level on tha DJs, I got a sample after it was on P105, and
I wasn’t too impressed wit tha first listen. Spinnin’ Records, here, though…
>>> Beats aren’t that bad, but with these DJs, I expected a lot more
hotter beats/drops… My Current Rating: 3.8
16.
Charli XCX “Break The Rules (Tiësto Remix)”
Atlantic
Records. Kinda catchy when I first heard it, but it’s startin’ to remind me of
goin’ through tha heartache of my friend just leavin’ my life, since that’s
when I added tha original version. And, PO,
what’s with tha “Verified Intro” in tha IDs? Wonder what a remix sounds like…?
>>> LOL, a strong music start from Mr. Esto, lol… Likin’ when tha beat
kicked in at :30… Oh, that chorus… Quiet, just like tha original version. LOL @
tha anti-“school” lyrics… Really diggin’ tha drop here on this random,
hit-mixed song, lol! A nice and dark Esto, here, lol! Okay, Mr. Esto got a lil’
lazy at 2:23: It’s tha original version’s beat! Holy, 15 seconds of laziness!
It sounded like a nice blend, though. Glad this remix really surpassed my
expectations! Makes me just wanna forget about tha lonely times of tha original
version! Can’t wait to see what’s next in my life! My Rating: 4.4
17.
Firebeatz & KSHMR Feat. Luciana “No Heroes”
More
Spinnin’ music!! I know this one ‘cause of Party 105 & MCD’s Firebeatz
mixshow! Also, lol @ PO with tha 22-second
intro? LOL, it’s zero seconds, based off tha music video! Guess they judged it
by tha time it took to get to tha drop, LMAO? Anyway, got its first spin with
me while I was eatin’ dinner with this dude I met on Instagram, from an
abandoned psychiatric center on Long Island!
Nice 1st spin! As far as tha song, lol, PO
tricked me with tha intro! Maybe, this a “Verified Intro”, lol? Neva knew there was an intro, but that was nice to have
that in tha beginning… LOL, when I see tha title, I think of an anti-“Heroes”
(Alesso & Tove Lo). Hearin’ this again and yeah, that drop’s pretty
sizzlin’!! Catchy lil’ song and vocals from Ms. Luciana! Nice lil’ beats
between tha verses, too; nice job with tha enhancin’, PO!
One thing I don’t really like iz tha climax before tha 2nd drop. I
feel like I’m tricked into thinkin’ it’s tha drop. But, it doesn’t take that
long for it to drop, luckily! My Current
Rating: 4.4
18.
Zilos Feat. Darja “Summer Breeze”
Makin’
me miss tha “summer,” once again, PO? Ahh!
Anyway, anotha really-anticipating song, here! Always anticipate tha Amathus
Music releases and this one should be pretty hot!! >>> Also, iz it me,
or does PO keep puttin’ Amathus releases at
#18 on their CDs, this year? Tha last CD had one, and there was one at #18 on
tha March ’14 CD! Guess I gotta keep anticipatin’ tha 18th track on
tha POs? Anyway, hot music and great vibes! Neva
heard of tha vocalist, but she sounds pretty hot!! New York underground, hot music at its
finest! Really diggin’ these lyrics, includin’ this pure music! Real glad this
label always keeps tha hot music on-n-poppin’!! Funny thinkin’ about summer: I
was just in NY last weekend, and it was 70 degrees out! LOL, in October? Been
lucky with all these trips with tha weather, but now, tha cold’s here… My Rating: 4.5
19.
Sammi Sanchez “Butterflies (Jason Nevins Radio Mix)”
Never
heard of it… Haven’t seen Mr. Nevins around in a while, so I have a feelin’
this ain’t gon be a hit-mixer… *Checks label…* Well, I guess that read my mind
(Independent, lol)! >>> Tha start sounds like a pop song; wonder what
we’ll have here…? Ooh, it’s a female; thought it was a male, this time, lol!
Feelin’ tha voice and tha music, here; sounds like a great song to end tha year
off! Nice track tha whole way ‘round! My
Rating: 4.3
20.
Nabiha “Animals (Hoxton Whores Radio Edit)”
Endin’
off tha CD with some anticipation! From two labels: The End & ADA, this
chick ain’t no newbie for me. She’s really tha alias of Tiger Lily, who was
featured on Ben Macklin’s 2007 song, “Feel Together” (6/07 PO).
Also, MCD got a lil’ import from her called “Never Played The Bass”, two years
ago. I think her original style aims for tha Amy Winehouse sound. Anyway, let’s
see how this one gon sound…! >>> A nice lil’ start, here; what will
come outta this, especially not hearin’ from this remixer in, like, nine years?
Nice background vocals and sounds like some catchy lyrics… Sounds like an
exciting dance song I’d hear on Party 105, if this was 2000 or somethin’. LOL,
sounds like she’s sayin’, “Fake titties,” on tha chorus, lol? “I’m just busy
dancin’?” That line sounds familiar, like I’ve heard it recently… My Rating: 4.4
EDIT: LOL @ “fake titties,” I
thought. “Hey, kiddies,” lol… And, after googlin’ tha original version, I
remembered that I saw tha original version on VH1, a lil’ while back. Got
addicting after a few dayz, as I’ve almost played it 100x!! Who knew?!
Overall: I dunno, I did enjoy this
PO! Tha ending was really consistent with some
anticipating artists and hot songs/remixes! A few doozies during tha beginning
of this CD, but PO pulled through nicely with
findin’ a ton of comebacks! Always expected this for a November PO! Even though, no Meital Dohan… :( Had her on three
November CDs in a row, from ’11 – ’13. However, at least Da Buzz was on here to
replace her, just like they were on tha ’06 November PO! But yeah, PO, keep up tha great work!!
