© 2015 CD Review (Review #1,480) reviewed on 9.25.2015 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01.
Sigala “Easy Love”
Here’s
tha 1st joint from this edition… MOS (Ministry of Sound) on tha
label, as an import—wow, I sound so dated sayin’ that classic term—and, at
first, I wasn’t buyin’ tha Jackson 5 sample and it havin’ a sampled chorus.
However, I’m really feelin’ tha catchy-ass beat throughout this!! Oh, havin’
some great news for tha fall; can’t wait for my reputation to continue
boostin’!! I’m on someone’s podcast coming up this Tuesday, September 29, 2015,
from 9:00 – 11:00 PM (EST); can’t wait! I’m valuable!! My Current Rating: 4.7
02.
Avicii “For A Better Day”
Wait,
Avicii makes music at 135 BPM?!?
Shocking, especially for tha 2nd song on here!! Even though I prolly
won’t have tha most anticipation fa Avicii, I’ll still think this prolly good…
Here we are with PRMD, Island & Republic all on tha signin’, here!
>>> A slow start with decent vocals, here… As for tha chorus, it ain’t
too bad; just okay for me… Hearin’ tha beats kick in and it’s kinda dry, but
still nice… Maybe, that sound on tha drop will catch on a lil’ more, later on??
Tha rest of this sounds kinda dry… I dunno about this one; might have to catch
on later? Prolly’ll rate it a lil’ less than “Waiting For Love”, surprisingly! My Rating: 3.9
03.
tyDi feat. Nash Overstreet “Tear Me Up”
Totally
forgot that tyDi’s new song was on here, lol! Anyway, heard it on Music Choice
Dance and it’s a nice follow-up to “Redefined”—can’t believe that song was from
this year! Seems like so long ago! But yeah, Robbins on tha label; here goes
my, like, 2nd listen… >>> Vocals are pretty catchy and so
are these beats… I’m really diggin’ tha chorus a whole lot, and that drop’s so
mechanically, digitally, fuckingly incredible, lol!!! Luv it!!! “Tear me
up…!!!” My Rating: 4.5
04.
DubVision feat. Emeni “I Found Your Heart (Vocal Radio Edit)”
Been
a minute since there had been a “Vocal Radio Edit” on PO;
seems like anotha type of throwback! But yeah, anyway, Spinnin’ on tha label,
here; let’s hear this!! >>> A nice lil’ start and now, these
smooth-soundin’ vocals ova this strong beat coming up! Definitely diggin’ tha
chorus, here; real-hot soundin’!! Drop’s pretty hot; definitely feelin’ it!!!
Like it a lot better than tha Don Diablo collaboration from earlier this year! My Rating: 4.6
05.
Leona Lewis “Thunder (Danny Verde Radio Edit)”
Really
anticipatin’ tha mix, here, includin’ LL and her “thunder!” Shout out to Def
Jam, here! >>> Really addictive beat sounds in tha background of tha
intro, here, lol; luv it! Also, nice beats throughout tha 1st verse,
and LL has it on lock, here, with this song! Originally, a slow song, DV just
turned this into a mega anthemic-soundin’ mix!! Luv tha chorus and strongest
drop in a long while!! Kinda gives me that Meital Dohan feel/anticipation!!
Huh, where’d tha 2nd drop go? Oh wait, a bridge before it; odd
mix-up, but still great!! My Rating: 4.8
06.
Lost Frequencies feat. Janieck Devy “Reality”
Here
comes some DH with this “With” guy, lol! Ultra on tha label, here, also tha
same length as tha 1st song… >>> A folk song? Low
anticipation level, here… Tha chorus iz only decent, but I have a feelin’
this’ll be one of those unexpected, great memory-like songs… Overall, a decent
song… My Rating: 3.6
07.
Ed Sheeran “Photograph (Felix Jaehn Remix Edit)”
Anotha
slowie, here, like, fa’real! Atlantic, here; how will this “Cheerleader”
remixer do? >>> Dry and slow for a start, but tha BPMs sound better
than “Cheerleader”, though tha beat sounds might’ve been a lil’ catchier? Drop
sounds decent… My mom loves him and his music now reminds us of my late brother
but also, his girlfriend. We have a 1:1,000,000 gift, right now, as my late
brother’s girlfriend’s pregnant with his kid!! So exciting; due in December!!
So, luckily, there’s no more sad times for my mom, luckily…! But, because of
soft sadness and all that, songs like this aren’t really for me. So, it’s just
a decent rating for me… My Rating: 3.1
08.
Loveless feat. Varren Wade “They Don’t Know”
Anticipatin’
this one! Seven years ago, they had their collab with Amanda Wilson, “Found A
Miracle”, off tha 7/08 PO and tha Groove
Factory Studios label. Now, when I saw it on here, I was like, “Can’t be tha
same label; that was ’06 – ’08 dayz!” So, here comes a resurrected label
(Thrive)!! No wonder!! Excellent choice; banga #3 fa them this year?!?
>>> Wasn’t sure which gender to expect on tha vocals, here; we have
male vocals… Almost sounds like a familiar song, but it’s not… Beats kinda dry
on tha 1st verse, here; let’s see how this continues… Hearin’ tha
chorus and it’s kinda catchy, but more in an R&B way. Hearin’ this beat and
it’s soundin’ nice and UK-y, like, breakbeat-y, like, Craig David-y, lol!
Pretty catchy, though I thought it was gon be more on tha dance/house tip… As
this continues to go on, I’m slowly feelin’ bored by this vibe… It ain’t a bad
beat, but I guess this R&B vibe I’m gettin’s gettin’ to me… Slowly started
to become pretty hot once it almost ended, as I was thinkin’ of my assistant
manager! ;) My Rating: 3.7
09.
Magnificence & Alec Maire feat. Brooke Forman “Heartbeat (Nicky Romero
Edit)”
Diggin’
all tha names, here! Off tha Protocol label, let’s see how hot this gon be!!
>>> Accidentally played tha intro to tha previous song and now, when I
hear this, my anticipation’s buggin’ out!!! Really feelin’ this HOT vocal start and inescapable beats!!!
Really feelin’ tha strong drop—yes,
anotha huge one!!! Hot chorus and such a hot song, here!!! Much better than tha dry-like-my-throat “Lighthouse” from two POs
ago, lol!! Not even his “Let Me Feel” song made a PO,
but that’s gettin’ more exposure? Anyway, onto tha 2nd verse, here,
and I’m definitely feelin’ it!! Oh, this iz so
hot; can’t wait to play this!!! Okay, I’ll be generous with this rating,
especially for tha great news at my
job today!!! Dunn, dunn, dunn…!!! My
Rating: 5.0
10.
DJ Cassidy feat. Chromeo “Future Is Mine (Solidisco Remix)”
Oh
no, this… Atlantic, here; MCD got tha original version and they had tha wrong
song playing, lol. Then, this mix came and I have to say, I’m not feelin’ this
at all! This kinda song would’ve been nice for tha previous review I did, live,
where I would’ve bashed on a song! Ugh, really gay-soundin’ vocals, and tha
beats don’t do anything for me. Say, “No!,” to anything with “disco” in it,
now!!! Ugh, just waitin’ for it to end…!! Ewe @ tha club-like ending!!! EWE!!!!!
My Current Rating: 1.2
11.
The Magician “Together”
Cazzette
song again? Almost thought that! Really diggin’ that song of theirs, now! Me
and my hard-working ass, lol!! But, here’s tha magic tricks, lol!! Spinnin’ on
tha label, here, anotha slowie!! Howeva, I’m anticipatin’ it; z…o…n…e…o…u…t…!
>>> Ooh, we’re at a carnival with this beat intro, lol!! Hearin’ tha
vocals and they’re only okay for me… Either way, diggin’ it for a UK sound…
Hearin’ tha drop and shit and it sounds pretty nice; nice and unique
sound/song, here!! How about this shit: That Tyler kid I hung out with last
year, when he vanished on me, “Sunlight” was on tha 10/14 PO,
and I had such a shitty review for it (though liked it later on)! Now, here’s
Magician, again, on tha 10/15 PO! Much-betta
livin’, now, despite two deaths this year! However, I know how ta handle my
moments! But, I met this girl at my job and she always hung with Tyler this year. However,
he just vanished on her, too!! What tha…?!? Fuuuuck?!? Venomous people; hugs
hurt!! They’re so nostalgic!!! But,
great sound, here, once again!! My
Rating: 4.4
½time: I have ta say, I’m really
likin’ this PO!! Been a minute since we’ve had
a really-shitty song, but that means tha consistency’s been more-consistent
than eva!!! But, overall, I’m really diggin’ this PO!!
Average CD Rating: 4.0, right now!!
12.
Skrillex & Diplo feat. AlunaGeorge “To Ü”
And,
here’s them Jack Ü boyz… Not really anticipatin’ this, though, really, 160 BPM?
Like, 80?? Anyway, OWSLA, Mad Decent & Atlantic on tha label, here…
>>> Catchy-soundin’ beat start and I’m really diggin’ these “You Know
You Like It” vocals!! Definitely sexy and beat-kickin’, here! Really diggin’
tha chorus and tha drop’s pretty nice! Beats still kickin’ fast like, really,
160 BPM!! Drop kinda reminds me of if my brother was alive, that’s what I’d be
hearin’!! And, 2nd drop sounds more psychedelic! Can’t believe how
much I’m likin’ this, right now!! I may not play it much, but a great rating
from me, here! My Rating: 4.3
13.
Volt & State “Sandcastles”
Here
it comes!! Looks really
anticipating!!! Here comes Protocol on tha label, again!!! >>> Wasn’t
sure how to take tha beginning, but it’s givin’ me some “Rising Like The Sun”
anticipation, here… I’ll say, this sounds like it’ll be real hot; can’t deny
it! Really-hot climax and build-up, here!! Oh, just luvin’ tha strong beats, as
always, with Track #13!! Even some added vocals in tha background, here;
definitely killer!!! Luv it!!! Tha rest of this iz soundin’ pretty nice, too;
great job!! My Rating: 4.5
14.
Eddie Amador & Terri B! “Flesh & Bones”
You
guys got me buggin’ out with tha repeat track number things, lol!!! I luv it!!!
Track 13’s: Hot!; Track 14’s: Carrillo Music on tha label; Track 18’s: Amathus
Music on tha label, lol!! But yeah, thanx fa makin’ my night with these track
number things!! Can’t wait ta hear this, in a way!! >>> Really diggin’
tha instant beat start, here… Great to see him still pushin’, especially 2x
this year (3 if you count “Get To L.A.” (Kelsey B) from tha 6/15 PO)! “Awake” was real hot and clubby, and this iz soundin’
like a unique follow-up! Diggin’ these vocals, a lil’, and tha beats continue
to sound hot for me, includin’ tha chorus and all dat! LOL, just noticed this:
Tha back cover says, “Eddie Amador & Terri B!,” while tha artist info says,
“Eddie Amador, Terri B!,” with a comma! Good catch I made, right?!? Just like
how catchy this sounds, at times!! My
Rating: 4.3 (soooooo anticipated to rank these songs at tha end!!!)
15.
Lany “ILYSB (Ferdinand Weber Edit)”
Have
no idea what to expect, except that it’s 122 BPM with Spinnin’ on tha label
(not no Spinnin’ Deep, despite tha BPM???)… Hmm, I Love You So B…?
Don’t know what tha “B” gon be, but let’s see how close I was to guessin’ this
right, lol! >>> Kinda a good deep-house beat start… Hearin’ these
vocals and I almost thought it was gonna be a young, soul-soundin’ female!
Hearin’ tha music and it’s soundin’ really great for a DH sound… I feel like
I’m in an abandoned, underwater area (imagine that in tha future?!?)!! Hearin’
tha chorus and beat during tha chorus and it’s pretty weak… Tha chorus ain’t
too bad with tha content, but tha “B” iz “Bad”;
lol, I got an 80!! But yeah, really-exciting music during tha verses, a nice
build-up, but then, weak, dry music during tha chorus… I mean, you can’t do
much with a DH tempo? Or, yeah, you can: Secondcity “I Wanna Feel” had a great
chorus vibe from tha 8/14 PO! My Rating: 4.0
16.
Deniz Koyu & Amba Shepherd “The Way Out”
Wow,
really anticipatin’ this one!! Oh yeah, #16’s used to always be my favorite,
top-rated songs, mainly from ’07!!! I think we’re gonna have a close one, here,
with Protocol on tha label!! Almost thought it was Denis Shepard as tha DJ,
with this feature!!! >>> Really
diggin’ this addictive intro; what powerful
dance music we’ve got comin’ out, lately!! Kinda seems like tha sequel to
Vicetone & Kat Nestel “No Way
Out”, from tha 3/15 PO?! Like, we’ve found “tha way out,” especially since
“No Way Out” was tha last song I played before I found out my brother died, and
“The Way Out”’s equivalent to my brother’s kid bein’ born!! Anyway, good vibes
provided great luck for tha drop, here; luv it!! Tha chorus was pure heat, and tha drop just
transitioned this track to tha fullest!! So glad AS continues to do her thang,
each year! Hope she sticks around for a long time!! My Rating: 4.7
17.
ROMANS “Uh Huh (Markus Schulz Radio Edit)”
Neva heard of tha artist, though signed to tha
major Def Jam, here… How they get a trance DJ to remix their song? Lemme hear!
>>> Simple pro-tools-soundin’ intro, here, with how tha beat sound
sounds pasted in, lol? I think I do a better job with distinctively keepin’ tha
beat sound changin’! But, vocals are ehh, and tha beat’s pretty anticipatin’,
after all! LOL @ tha chorus and title part, especially when tha drop slammed outta nowhere!!! Keepin’ it
goin’ as tha beat stays strong and it sounds like a consistent verse? Tha beat
now slowed down around 2:01 and it’s soundin’ like an okay verse. I honestly
think this song’s playin’ with my mind as it wants me to enjoy it as much as
possible! Uh, L…O…L…?!? That long chorus part played after tha hot drop, as
well; odd? Either way, definitely feelin’ this one!! My Rating: 4.5 (oh!!! Oh, it got tha
best of me!!!)
18.
Don Diablo “On My Mind”
Instead
of Spinnin’ Deep on tha label, here, it’s just Spinnin’; should be good,
though… >>> Oh, of course I had a feelin’ I heard this before… And,
here we are, feelin’ like 12, again, with my music taste debut! That’s where we
heard Junior Jack “My Feeling”, throughout 2001! Oh, reminds me of playin’ Tony
Hawk Pro Skater!! Luv my nostalgia!!! As for this, I’m actually diggin’ it for
a dance vs. dance song; luvin’ tha versatile beats! MCD has a mixshow of DD on
their channel, at times, so that’s prolly where I heard this from! My Rating: 4.3
19.
Cash Cash feat. B.o.B., Busta Rhymes & Neon Hitch “Devil”
ROFL!
Looks like they were tryna go pop with this one? Ain’t realize it was 145 BPM…
Big Beat & Atlantic, here, and, lemme re-hear this… Of course, had to get
into tha chorus with tha return of NH, fuckin’
with tha “devil,” lol! Almost thought it was, like, 70 BPM ‘cause of tha slow
drop; that’s why I ain’t register 145 on tha BPM… And, they’re experimentin’
with rap and top-notch mainstream rappers, here… B.o.B. on tha 1st
verse (not Busta, PO order), and it sounds
nice to hear! I may’ve wanted to hear a full-on dance sound, but this iz still
nice, in a different way. Whoo, it’s that speed with Bussa-Buss on tha 2nd
verse, lol! Definitely diggin’ his fast-ass rappin’, compared to tha
regular-soundin’ B.o.B. verse! Also, likin’ tha extra NH part before tha 3rd
chorus! As I just stare at this picture of myself with one of my co-workers,
Destiny, I feel like I’m gonna like this a lot more and wanna get to play it,
lol! Go, Dest!! My Current Rating: 4.2
20.
OMI “Hula Hoop”
Ultra
& Columbia on tha label, here, since “Cheerleader” blew up for this summer,
unexpectedly! However, heard a sample at my job and I have a feelin’ I’m not
gonna like this at all, lol, smh!
Like, not a dance artist and no mix
on this!! >>> Kinda likin’ tha beginning and am feelin’ this 1st
verse… Sounds a lil’ betta than I expected; only thang cheesy iz that
title/chorus part!! Likin’ tha beat and tropical house sound to this, though;
great sound… I’m definitely likin’ this a lot betta than “Cheerleader”, though,
lol! My Rating: 3.4
21.
Justin Bieber “What Do You Mean?”
Oh, man… Of course, this PO’s ending’s lookin’ like some extra songs that had to get out there! I “mean,” “what” about “Nothing Stopping Me” by Vicetone & Kat Nestel? That should be here! As for this, of course, maybe one of his best-soundin’ songs for a solo artist, but after a while, I think I wanna slap it like a whistlin’ fly on me! Speakin’ of, I had 70 baby ticks on me on Sunday!!! Tha day after my great-grandma passed; crazy!!! Long Island, NY, home of ticks?!? But yeah, ugh, tropical house sound in this beat! Watch how everyone’ll think it was this song that started it!!! Oh, that whistle just gets to me; it’s soooooooooooooooooo soft fa this Bieeeeeeeeeeeeberin’ Bieber!!! Can’t believe I was in NYC and I saw a van that said, “Bieber;” why?!? My Current Rating: 3.0

MizGin “If I Said I’m In Love (Suicide) (Riddler Radio Edit)”
Ooh,
a new mix!! Thought tha original would do better with me, but I think now, this
iz why this mix iz here! To rescue it! MCD just got tha original version, so
I’m glad it’s gettin’ out there again! Of course, once again, Paper on tha
label! >>> Definitely feelin’ this as a remix; great job, Riddler!
Almost got me concerned after tha slowness of tha “2 Heads” joint (6/15 PO, just like this song’s original)! Nice lil’ build-up
and an okay, dreamy-kinda drop, here… Almost thought this was gonna be a
full-on house remix, but, here’s tha 1st verse of tha original… Oh,
nice and mixed! Diggin’ tha pre-chorus part’s beat; nice change, Ridd!! Even
got enough room fa tha 2nd verse, here… LOL, I almost expected a
longer ending… Oh yeah, that kid Tyler’s birthday’s coming up (October 14th)!
Wonder if I should add this on that day, for a special occasion? Like, him and
his “suicidal” wayz of showin’ luv!! Ugh!! My
Rating: 4.4
Overall: Wow, I was really diggin’ this CD a whole lot!!! And, even with my
great-grandma passin’, there was still a perfect-rated song!!! Lots of huge and interesting bangerz on here!! Can’t wait to hear ‘em and play tha
shit outta ‘em!! Somethin’ tells me I gon play these a lot more than tha
previous PO, even though I loved those a lot
more, statistically!!! Such excitement fa this fall; let’s hope tha moments
continue ta grow from here!!!
