© 2015 CD Review (Review #1,447) reviewed on 2.27.2015 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01.
Alesso feat. Roy English “Cool”
Def
Jam on tha label, like tha previous releases… I think this gon be anticipatin’
and excitin’! Let’s see what this gon bring! >>> Figuring there was no
featured artist listed, I thought it was gonna be an instrumental dance song,
for a surprise. However, this has a good music start and vocals aren’t too bad…
Tha chorus ain’t too bad, here, either… I thought there was gon be a longer
climax before tha drop, but tha drop was nice to hear on this upcoming dance
banger… Okay, I just looked on Google who tha vocals are by and it’s Roy
English; neva heard of them… Good follow-up to “Heroes;” wonder how it’ll do? My Rating: 4.1
02.
Max Vangeli “You & Me”
From
tha Size Records label, once again, exactly 11 months later at tha #2 spot, as
well… “You” know music has a meaning
and anticipation for it when it makes you go and do things! Once I saw Max
makin’ a comeback, I knew I had to
get high! I actually was high while readin’ tha tracklist and now, I’m that again!! Talk about a HUGE anticipation level!!! >>>
Prolly gon have vocals in it… Yes, here’s anotha unlisted female, but I have a
feelin’ it sounds like tha previous one, from “Last Night Changed It All.”
Anyway, I’m diggin’ these vocals and tha verse sounds good. Also, tha chorus’
pretty nice with us bein’ “against
tha world.” I’m diggin’ tha climax, too…; it builds my anticipation level for
tha drop!! Oh, tha drop’s slammin’!! Really diggin’ tha added bubble effects or
somethin’ on tha 2nd part of tha chorus! Oh, it kinda hurts to
laugh, right now! I threw up twice on Wednesday & at 3:40 AM yesterday,
while arrivin’ to work! I had immortal energy and did tha whole entire shift,
yesterday! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ nice, too. Whoo @ this anthemic,
regular drop!! Just luv it!! My Rating: 4.6
03.
Marlon Roudette “When The Beat Drops Out (Blondee & Hagen Remix Radio)”
Columbia Records, here… I dunno
about tha anticipation level, here; gotta stay cautious! Tha 1st
name of tha artist’s tha same name as tha one dude that screwed up my 2013 and
was tha reason why I got my job at Dunkin’. Also, tha BPM (122)’s tha birthday
of one of their music friends who turned their back on me… So, I have a feelin’
this gon suck… >>> Intro seemed like forever, lol (time goes by slow
while you’re high). Well, these vocals sound like a combination of fun. and tha
Years & Years people. Anyway, this iz so dry; I thought I expected more
from that instrument in tha beginning. Also, shame on namin’ this “…The Beat
Drops…;” ain’t no droppin’ “drops,”
here!! Only 3:36? Seems like 4:15 or somethin’ with this slow time passing by…
Overall, way too soft, boring, plain, and not dance!! My Rating: 1.6
04.
Cedric Gervais feat. Ali Tamposi “Love Again”
Interscope,
here; no Robbins, lol? Guess tha major label took over, lol! Anyway, Music
Choice Dance got it at least a month or two ago, and so did MTV Clubland (in
tha morning at 3 AM while I get ready for work). I ain’t get it till this
review, so it gon be a nice add! Really diggin’ tha vocals and tha beat on tha
drop’s pretty nice; nice job, Mr. “Ger-vay,” lol! Great vocals, verses, lyrics,
and, of course, tha music! I have a feelin’ this March CD gon be good and not
durin’ a time where I deal with shitty people! My Rating: 4.5
05.
Above & Beyond feat. Zoë Johnston “We Are All We Need”
Ultra,
here… Follow-up to tha huge, though during a phase only, “Blue Sky Action!”
Sampled it and then, it got on MTV Clubland. It’s a nice-soundin’ slow dance
song; not as boring as “Sticky Fingers.” It’s got great vocals and a nice sound
to tha beat, though should be a touch faster! Tha 2nd chorus iz really soundin’ slow without those
beats… And, especially while high, it sounds like it’s takin’ forever to pass
by, lol! Really likin’ that after tha really slow 2nd chorus,
there’s a nice, long drop! LOL, even a verse right at tha end…; good lyrics… My Rating: 4.2
06.
Eric Prydz vs. CHVRCHES “Tether”
From
tha Astralwerks label, here… Interestin’ how Mr. Prydz & this alternative
group are mashin’ together! Lookin’ forward to hearin’ this “Tether!”
>>> Almost thought it wasn’t dance-y on tha 1st few
seconds, but now, it sounds like an anticipatin’ beat… Hearin’ CHVRCHES and it
sounds really nice and dance-y with tha vocals! Nice lil’ part from CHVRCHES
and I’m diggin’ this nice lil’ Prydz beat! It just sounds like exciting moments
waitin’ to happen! Nice and risky ones! My
Rating: 4.4
07.
Mynga feat. Cosmo Klein “Back Home (US Radio Edit)”
Island
Records on tha label, though a US Radio Edit? Would think it came from another
country; hope so, and I hope it has enough of what I’m expectin’… >>>
I dunno, I had a feelin’ this was gon be weak; not really diggin’ tha vocals…
Hearin’ tha title and drop part and it sounds like that kinda
memorable-soundin’ music, but I expect this to sound a lil’ better… I dunno, 2nd
part of tha drop gets me a lil’ more excited… Now, after tha 2nd
verse, it’s startin’ to sound like a Lite FM song from tha ‘90s; interestin’
blend! Because I’m high, I’mma say that this gon be an MCD song or somethin’.
Overall, a mixed review for me. My
Rating: 3.6
08.
CLMD feat. Jared Lee “Keep Dreaming”
Ultra, here… Followin’ up from a “Stockholm Syndrome,” lol? I dunno if I gon anticipate tha vocalist’s name… >>> Really-anticipatin’ intro, here! Sounds like a song ta follow your dreams; nice-soundin’ male vocals, here, for a dance track! After a whole minute, tha 1st verse came in and tha beats are soundin’ catchy… Gotta luv tha lyrics and content about “dreaming;” I’m glad I’m followin’ ‘em, now! Tha 2nd verse’s decent; music was catchier on tha 1st one… My Rating: 4.3

Madonna “Living For Love”
LOL @ this song! Label: Live Nation / Interscope. Party 105 got this last month and I was excited for tha comeback. Tha 1st time it came on my iPod, I was nappin’ and I had some sorta catchy, weird, adventurous dream. I don’t remember what tha dream was, but it made me think this song was so catchy!! This more on tha deep house tip; I think she’s experimentin’ with that… It’s also on pop stations, I believe, already? Good goin’; this world’s more acceptin’ again! I dunno how high I’ll rate this. Haven’t played it too much, yet, but it looks like it could be around for a while? My Current Rating: 4.3

10.
Steve Aoki & Moxie “I Love It When You Cry (Moxoki)”
Ultra,
once again. I thought tha parenthesis was a mix name combination, but it’s just
anotha part of tha title, mashin’ tha two artists’ names together. Anyway,
first heard this while I was high last month on MCD, but surprisingly, only
once, so far? Didn’t add it right away; I think I got lazy. Of course, I want
adds on my high dayz! I feel like that builds tha playlist quality and
quantity! But yeah, vocals are hot and catchy, here, as well as tha lyrics and
tha beat! Luv tha “hit it from tha back” line; nice and urban, but with a sexy,
dance-soundin’ sound! My Current Rating:
4.4
½time: Sounds like a bangin’ CD,
so far; lots of consistent ratings with one shitty song and an okay song!
Still, tha average CD rating’s a 4.0, so far! It only finna get better!
11.
Deborah Cox “Kinda Miss You”
Yes,
this! Off three labels: Deco Entertainment, Primary Wave Music & BMG; nice
lil’ comeback after one Party 105 spin! Almost thought it wasn’t real!! Notice
how tha beat sounds like tha chorus of “Latch,” without tha catchy sound
effects. I think it’s a great-soundin’ song for Ms. Deborah! Of course,
instantly have to play it while high to realize that I feel like I’m in a
fuckin’ dream with tha comeback artists and all that! Catchy chorus; hope
people pay attention to this one! I have a feelin’ it won’t go pop, but it
should be nice for a lil’ more exposure! My
Current Rating: 4.7
12.
Giorgio Moroder feat. Kylie Minogue “Right Here, Right Now”
Speakin’
of comebacks and slow songs, here’s anotha one. I dunno this one, so we’ll see
how it does… RCA on tha signin’, here… >>> Diggin’ Kylie on this song,
but it sounds too slow… Sounds like they’re tryna look for an “Uptown Funk” hit
with tha pace of tha music, only this iz a lil’ more dance-y… Okay, hearin’ tha
chorus and it sounds pretty nice! But yeah, could’ve been faster, but still
sounds pretty good… LOL @ PO thinkin’ this a “cold” ending; it faded right in
front of their face, lol!! My Rating: 3.7
13.
Vicetone feat. Kat Nestel “No Way Out”
Uh
oh, tha weed cookie boyz, as I like to call ‘em, now!! After their HUGE “United We Dance” from tha 12/14 PO, I added it last month and jammed to it quite a bit.
With tha weed cookie reference, I was on Long Island
and on shuffle, I had “United We Dance” on shuffle and I attempted a weed
cookie. LOL, great memories, even though I quietly panicked in my sleep from
2:00 AM – 3:00 AM or somethin’! My head had to do a mini 360 every minute! If I
missed, tha 360’s built up, minute by minute, and I could’ve been trapped in
them ‘rings,’ as I like to call ‘em! Luv my dark vibes! Anyway, Spinnin’ on tha
label here… I think Party 105 got it but I didn’t immediately add it; still got
tha “UWD” goin’ strong, so I wanted to keep givin’ that time… As far as my
first listen, it sounds good; prolly would’ve been a lil’ better without
vocals, but it’s still nice… Tha drop ain’t too bad, here; sounds like they’re
pushin’ for a single, since tha other one didn’t get out there… Like, MCD might
be watchin’, lol! LOL, just noticed tha beat part before tha 1st
verse had tha same sound effect as tha intro from “UWD” and tha outro part had
tha same outro sound, too! LOL, soundin’ alike!! My Current Rating: 4.2
14.
Alison Wonderland feat. Wayne
Coyne “U Don’t Know”
Astralwerks
on this label, too… Know tha artist as of recent from bein’ on Music Choice
Electronica (lol, that channel so dead, as it’s only on Monday mornings from 12
AM – 2 AM; two hours! Kinda makes my playlist be less-diverse, since I used to
always follow ‘em). But, lemme see what this gon bring… >>> LOL @ tha
start; definitely diggin’ it!! Instantly laughin’, as it hits outta nowhere!!
Definitely diggin’ tha vocals and 1st verse, here; almost thought it
was male vocals! However, I forgot that tha main artist ain’t just a DJ! Nice
lil’ chorus; interesting, weird, slow-soundin’ drop! Oh, just luvin’ this; definitely in tha zone!! Next high hit!!
Kinda seems long, but that’s ‘cause time’s goin’ slow. Like, only 62 minutes
have went by since I started this review? Might have to put this over Deborah
Cox ‘cause I’m in that mood! My Rating: 4.8
15.
Mako feat. Madison Beer “I Won’t Let You Walk Away”
Ultra
on this one, too… LOL @ PO ignorin’ tha other
two Mako songs. My God, MCD beasted
that fuckin’ “Beam” song! Lasted tha whole entire 2014; who knew?! Hope this
one sounds real great; I expect it to, especially with tha featured artist’s
name! Madison Park + some beer, lol? >>> An okay music start; it
prolly gon get better when tha drop comes. Hearin’ tha vocals and they sound
pretty good. However, there have been some better vocals on this CD… Hearin’
tha title and chorus and it’s not bad; I thought tha music was gon be tighter…
It sounds kinda plain, here. A full drop at 1:33 and it sounds better with some
sound effects, this time… My Rating: 3.8
16.
Kissy Sell Out feat. Holly Louis “The Promise (Never Look Back Radio Edit)”
Anotha
release from Kissy, just like tha last review; kinda sounds like déjà vu, lol?
I’m in tha same condition, in tha same room, with tha same setting, lol! Off
tha Carrillo label, leggo!! >>> I dunno, doesn’t sound that
anticipatin’ for a start… Wow, my mind breezed right by tha 120 BPM until I
just heard it… On tha deep house tip, here; music’s plain and a lil’ boring,
while tha vocals aren’t tha catchiest… I had a feelin’ I was gon like this
better than tha previous song, but I ain’t study all tha facts first, lol!
Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and lil’ drop and it sounds like it tryin’ for
that ‘90s sound, at times—‘90s house! My
Rating: 2.3
17.
Showtek feat. MC Ambush “‘90s By Nature”
Oh,
have to keep it all “‘90s,” right now, lol? And, first content-warning song on
this PO! Off tha Spinnin’ label, I’m definitely in-tune for a new Showtek
song, lol!! >>> Diggin’ tha music in tha beginning but ewe, what are
these vocals? Damn, these vocals on these songs are startin’ to throw my
ratings and everything off… LOL @ tha drop; sounds kinda catchy, here! Beats
are hard-hittin’ in a different way, rather than a dance/house way! Remakin’
tha “‘90s” with tha, “Every friggin’ day, every friggin’ night.” Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse and I was thinkin’ I was gon hear some quotes from “‘90s” songs, but it
was kinda random… LOL @ tha, “We don’t give a fuck,” part! My Rating: 3.9
Speakin’
of “fuck,” lol, my best friend from Long Island, Frankie, always blasts this while we’re on our trippy rides down dark, scary
roads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4bXzKfBWFQ
^ Tha old hardstyle dayz of Showtek. LOL, ain’t know who it was ‘til I heard their voices! OMG, one night, tha bass of one song wrapped around my neck and I screamed, lol!!

18. 2 DJs On A Mission “Plur”
Ooh
@ tha surprise appearance from Amathus Music, tha label! And, #18 on a PO, once again!! I’m excited to hear this one, as I
wasn’t expectin’ it!! >>> Music sounds really strong in tha
beginning!! Yes, no words!!! Yes, nice and instrumental-y!!! Oh, how exciting,
especially with no vocals!! Tha previous songs were startin’ to throw me off
with their vocals required, but this iz where it’s really at!! One of Amathus’ stronger-soundin’ songs!! Oh, just luv
tha repetitiveness in tha tight beats! My
Rating: 4.7
19.
The Magician feat. Years & Years “Sunlight (Elephante Mix)”
LOL,
here we go with this song again… From tha 10/14 PO,
I actually wound up likin’ this better. However, I think we oughta leave this
song with tha times of when my friend randomly ditched me and his birthday was
comin’ up! I’ll keep tha “Prayer In C”’s pop crossover success, but let’s leave
this song alone from appearin’ on a 2015 PO!
Not to mention, Y&Y have a new song out now on MTV Clubland & MTV Hits
that sounds like it could go pop. …Lemme see how this faster mix iz…
>>> Likin’ tha dance start in tha beginning. Hearin’ tha main chorus
and it’s, well, so October 2014 times… LOL, wow, this song completely did a 360
with how it sounds; it even has a more-dance-y drop, lol! Oh, PO,
you’re re-gettin’ me into this, right now! Still, it’s just, really, a
re-entering, random appearance. But, I must say: Tha video’s pretty horrible;
men’s asses and shit! LOL, who wanna see dat? My Rating: 4.0
20.
Helena & Vassy “Boss”
Uh
oh, it looks scary, lol! After tha failing-to-spin-a-lot “Levity” (damn, you
10/14 PO, again!), here comes a new song! I
have a feelin’ this gon be real good; can’t wait to hear this collab!
>>> Catchy title part of “B-O-S-S” and Vassy; nice lil’ beats in tha
background! Really diggin’ tha lyrics in tha chorus! Kinda describes my current
status, now! Record label behind me, publication behind me, president of my
dad’s store, Shift Leader at Dunkin’, strictly kickin’ err-body’s ass!! Diggin’
tha drop, here; gotta luv livin’ that high life!! Even sayin’, “Leader,” on tha
2nd verse; nice! This kinda on tha same level as tha previous Helena
song, fa me, but I think I gon play this more—hell, I ain’t got no bitch-made
friend ditchin’ me, this time! My
Rating: 4.4
21.
Josh Harris feat. Sarah Bollinger “Look Into My Eyes”
And,
anotha Amathus-signed song on this CD, let alone, JH & endin’ this CD off!!
Anticipatin’ this one a whole lot; it prolly just gon sound like a
pure-soundin’ dance song! Anticipatin’ tha singer’s name ‘cause it’s tha same
last name as Danielle Bollinger! Wonder if they’re related? Would luv to see a
relation and one of them other family members goin’ dance! Can’t believe it’s
been a whole entire decade since Danielle started out in tha dance world and JH
with tha Lola remix, “No Strings!!” >>> Nice music start and tha
vocals sound nice; they sound like they’re on a Danielle level… Ooh @ tha
chorus; nice and strong with tha vocals and music!! ‘Bout time we end PO on a huge
level; definitely diggin’ tha music!!
Who wouldn’t wanna smoke a bowl for
this PO while lookin’ at tha tracklist and anticipatin’ a new PO?!
Definitely sounds great with tha 2nd verse, too; what a
pure-soundin’ dance single!!! However, JH needs to get with tha program and get
a Twitter! Don’t think he got one; he need to get better promotion out there!
Just on Amathus releases, pretty much, these dayz, unlike last decade with a
lotta remixes… My Rating: 4.6
Overall: This was definitely better than tha previous PO!! So many anticipatin’ artists on this one and a bunch
of bangerz! A few shitty ones, but we’ll work around that! Props, PO, fa makin’ a nice,
pure-soundin’ dance edition! Let’s keep it goin’ fa 2015; keep celebratin’!!
