© 2016 CD Review (Review #1,572) reviewed on 10.18.2016 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01.
Calvin Harris “My Way”
Columbia, here, startin’ off with
a song that quickly went mainstream… I like that he’s goin’ with anotha one
with his vocals, here, and it sounds good. A guilty pleasure, but can’t deny
tha Calvin! Tha Harris! My Current
Rating: 4.2
02.
Galantis & Hook N Sling “Love On Me”
Big
Beat, here, with anotha guilty pleasure? Well, not too bad but, just like
previous singles, these vocals are tha kind you gotta get used to… Sometimes,
it’s kids; sometimes, it’s random dudes; sometimes, it’s strange females?
Decent with how this sounds; I like tha beginning’s music… I don’t see it bein’
a big song ta play, but at least we still have music that’s not under 120 BPM,
I guess, smh, lol? My Current Rating: 3.6
03.
Elephante & MIIA “Dynasty”
Can’t
wait ta hear! After our guilty pleasures, it’s time for this! Follow-up to last
year’s #03, which was what I was talkin’ about: “Say My Name (Remix Edit)”!!
Could we have tha same euphoric feelin’?! I’m slowly startin’ ta feel
somethin’!! Self-released track from Phante, once again! >>> A slow
start but it sounds like it’s gon be catchy with these vocals… Definitely
feelin’ tha chorus, here; catchiness at its finest! We have a drop, here, and,
ehh, it’s trappy… Ehh, can’t say it’s too bad, overall, but tha normal pace
needs to come back! Tha rest of this wasn’t as catchy as tha beginning, but at
least that regular-paced beat came back! My
Rating: 4.3
04.
Quintino x Cheat Codes “Can’t Fight It”
Spinnin’,
here, and this one’s gettin’ out there… Wasn’t sure if I could feel it too
much, in tha beginning, so let’s see how tha review goes… >>> I’ono,
but I’m anticipatin’ tha music, here, with those catchy vocals from this year’s
new superstars (I know, they were out last year, but it seems like they shined
more, this year—Cheat Codes)! Drop’s not too bad with how it sounds and tha
energy comin’ outta it… Feelin’ how tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ with
this regular-paced music… My Rating: 4.2
05.
Axwell & Shapov “Belong (Axwell & Years Remode Edit)”
Ultra, here, with a new mix, lol? >>> Naw, it sounds similar to tha original version, here, so this iz, like, a bonus song fa me… Well, everything sounded similar, up until 1:11! Definitely feelin’ it for a “remode!” More energy, here; can’t complain! Definitely top-notch with tha drop, here! My Rating: 4.4

06.
NERVO feat. Timmy Trumpet “Anywhere You Go”
Lookin’
forward ta hearin’ a new single of theirs, courtesy of Monstercat, tha new
label takin’ ova, outta nowhere!! >>> Sounds like a good start with
some evolved-soundin’ vocals, here? Kinda feelin’ tha slower music, this time;
can’t complain… Nice lil’ happier vibe, here; feels like this’ll get out there!
I really like tha breakdown music, right before tha 2:00 mark… It’s all about
bein’ nice and zoned out! My Rating: 4.5
07.
CID & Kaskade “Sweet Memories”
Goin’
with a Big Beat release, here; let’s see… >>> Outta all tha songs, so
far, surprisingly, this tha best-soundin’ intro… Either way, these deep
house-soundin’ vocals are ehh… Sounds like this gon do better with a rating for
a mixed review… Kinda likin’ tha deep house-soundin’ drop, here! Definitely
likin’ tha music combinations! Weird that this soundin’ real great fa me, lol…
Diggin’ tha repetitive vibe and everything goin’ on, here… My Rating: 4.4
08.
Röyksopp feat. Susanne Sundfør “Never Ever”
And,
what a surprise we have here! How about, I heard it on my college station and I
Shazam’d it! I looked to see where I can get tha symbol from, so I can type it
in my iTunes, and this song came up in my library! I was caught by surprise! I
bought it as a bonus! Bonus money; here go my $1.29! Astralwerks & Capitol,
here… What I have to say: Really great-soundin’, upliftin’ music and I’m
definitely diggin’ tha vocals, here! Definitely worth tha extra payment with PO! Love how consistent it sounds, too! Can’t deny it!! I
know I ain’t say much, here, but just know that it sounds consistent with
quality to tha fullest!! My Current
Rating: 4.9
09.
Shanahan & Rob Fion feat. Tima Dee “One Night”
A
new one off tha Eclypse label, with a 30-second intro! Should be exciting ta
hear, Mr. “Stars & Moon”, lol! >>> Funny that it sounds like a
17-second intro! Lol, PO added excitement to
tha length of tha intro instead of takin’ away tha seconds! Well, I’m
definitely feelin’ tha music and tha vocals has me excited fa this one!! Tha
chorus sounds catchy and interesting; definitely feelin’ tha energy! Tha drop
sounds nice ta hear, too! Always a plus fa Eclypse Records fa bein’ on PO! And, a year ago around this time, they were here,
too, with “Blue Sky”! Seems like that song was so long ago, but only a year,
lol! My Rating: 4.5
10.
Bobina & JES “iBelieve”
Can’t
wait ta hear! Gotta luv tha anticipation on tha POs! Tha 3rd release
from Bobina, after it was a year ago, at this PO,
11/15, Track #16, that we heard Bobina (“Addicted”)! Now, anotha one with JES!
Can’t wait ta hear, courtesy of Black Hole Recordings! >>> A nice,
slow start, with tha JESster (lol) soundin’ nice and warp-y! I also like how
tha title’s an “i,” lol. And, anotha great climax/drop from Bobina, doin’ it
large!! Sounds like tha vocal trance version of “Love Is The Answer”’s drop;
nice! Great with how this continues ta sound, here; gotta respect it!
“iBelieve” it, lol! My Rating: 4.6
11.
Junge Junge feat. Kyle Pearce “Run Run Run”
I’ono
about tha anticipation, here… Astralwerks & Capitol on tha label, here…
Yeah, I don’t feel tha luck, here, especially that it’s 5:10 PM, my brother’s
death date time… Then again, I ain’t have much anticipation, anyway…
>>> Kinda diggin’—but not super-diggin’—tha blues-y music in tha
background? Also, diggin’ this title? Nice lil’ chorus, despite tha dry music…
I have ta say, a lil’ bit of a guilty pleasure, but it’s still nice… I have ta
give it its props; definitely a risky time to premiere!! Wow, seemed like it
ended fast, lol! My Rating: 4.3
½time: Lookin’ like a stellar
release, here!! Only Track #02 was under a 4.0!! I ain’t expect ta rate so many
so high, lol!! Great with how this sounds! A 4.4-rated PO,
so far!! See, I knew it was gon be a
great one!!
12.
Mike Taylor “Body High”
Ironic
title? Exactly what’s goin’ through
me, right now!! Rostrum Records, here, tha old Wiz Khalifa label from tha ’07 –
’08 dayz! >>> After his “Playground” from three years ago, here he iz
with a solo single… Glad he ain’t decide to slow down tha vibe ‘cause this
sounds like it gon be hot! Tha chorus sounds nice ta hear… Me: Not
relationships; it’s somethin’ else, lol! Ooh, I luv how I’m gettin’ hungrier, I
feel like tha track’s startin’ ta capture my stomach more, lol! ROFL, I left my
room for a few minutes without rating it!! My
Rating: 4.4
13.
Martin Garrix & Bebe Rexha “In The Name Of Love (The Him Radio Edit)”
And, it finally has tha chance ta have tha remix treatment… Here we go, RCA… >>> Sounds like a slower start with a warped-soundin’ beat… I’ono, but I’m feelin’ how that chorus beat sounds, includin’ tha climax, too! Also, gotta love tha The Him sound on tha drop! I’ll admit, I miss when tha certain producers would sound tha same on every fuckin’ track/remix they did, lol!! Lol, can’t believe how impressed I am, here!! Caught me by surprise, you’d think I’m really high as fuck!! My Rating: 4.7 (high as fuck?!!)

14.
Klangkarussell “Hey Maria”
Astralwerks
& Capitol on tha label, here, with a returning single… >>> A :00
intro, but an :18 one, here! That wouldn’t’ve been like that in ’07, lol… I
ain’t expect vocals fa some reason, after their previous single from three/four
years ago… It kinda sounds okay… I’ono if I can feel these vocals, but it
sounds catchy with that title part, lol… “Hey Maria!!” Fuck! My Rating: 3.7
15.
Leopard Disco “Jelly”
Can’t
wait ta hear, after their cheatin’ “(Fuck It) I Cheated On You”, which I
thought was gonna be bigger! Still, catchy, even tho not released on a big
label! Still, tha Beat Kandy’s where it’s at, right now!! Can’t wait ta hear!!
>>> Sounds like a catchy, dance-soundin’ track, here; can’t deny it!
Love tha vocals, still, as well as tha lyrics! Tha chorus sounds nice;
definitely likin’ tha music, too! Catchy-soundin’ flavor on tha title, too!
Also, likin’ tha drop, too; can’t deny it! Definitely continuin’ ta like how
this sounds! Feelin’ tha exciting, not-so-played-out vibe, here, with tha not-so-big
artists! My Rating: 4.3
16.
Eva Shaw feat. Poo Bear “Rise N Shine”
Can’t
wait ta hear, fa some reason! A new Eva? Only 116 BPM, so I wonder what kinda
track it gon sound like? We have Brooklyn Knights, RED & Sony on tha label,
here… >>> I thought it was gon be more rap/dance-soundin’, here, but
it’s on tha slow-dance tip… I have ta say, these vocals sound pretty catchy and
I’m really feelin’ tha slower-soundin’ music, here! For a short song of only
2:26, it seems pretty lengthy… Lol, my mind’s all slowed down and appreciatin’
tha music, more, especially tha lil’ music breakdown before tha final chorus! My Rating: 4.6
17.
Gerald G “Your Body Is A Murder”
A
new Carrillo track, here, with only 116 BPM; let’s see… >>> Sounds
familiar, but then again, an Instagram discovery? I’ono, I’m just randomly
thinkin’… Feelin’ this slow vibe in a unique way! Really-catchy lyrics on tha
hook fa tha ladies, lol! And, a lil’ sax on tha drop, here… Decent lil’ track;
definitely catchy! My Rating: 4.0
18.
Dillon Francis feat. Will Heard “Anywhere”
Oh
no, him again… Columbia,
here… >>> Vocals sound a lil’ like Sam Smith, at times… Hearin’ tha
beginning verse and it’s kinda catchy, even tho this slow vibe’s plain… A lil’
more with tha sounds on tha chorus, here, even tho it sounds like cheese—oh
wait, tastes like, lol? An okay song, but nothin’ special fa me… My Rating: 3.0
19.
Gorgon City feat. Elderbrook “Smile”
I
feel like I’m anticipated fa this one! Capitol on tha label; leggo!!
>>> A decent lil’ slow track, so far… Hearin’ tha 1st verse
and it’s decent; nothin’ ta complain about… Hearin’ tha chorus and it’s
soundin’ nice ta hear! Tha drop and music sounds pure, after that; nice! My Rating: 3.8
20.
The Chainsmokers feat. Phoebe Ryan “All We Know”
Disruptor
& Columbia, here again… I heard a quick sample yesterday on Music Choice
Dance… Let’s see if it’s better than “Closer”? Could be—I’ono…?! >>>
Likin’ how this sounds in tha beginning fa a slower-soundin’ track, on tha
vibe… Glad ta hear this “Now Or Never” Tritonal collaborator get out there!
Even with a solo single not too long ago? Sounds great on tha chorus, with tha
Chainsmoker dude singin’ on this, too… Drop ain’t too bad and iz nice and
random, tho… I’ono how special I’ll feel about this track, overall… Hearin’ tha
2nd verse and it sounds great ta hear, too, almost like it was in
tha bed… It’s crazy ‘cause I have those weird feelings of havin’, like, a heart
attack when my last day of work turns out ta be! I feel so attached to tha job,
even tho it stresses me tha fuck out!! My
Rating: 3.9
21.
Shaun Frank feat. Ashe “Let You Get Away”
Not a Delaney feature, lol?
Crazy/Not used ta that!! Spinnin’ on tha label, here! Let’s see how Mr. Frank
can do without tha Laney!! >>> Really feelin’ tha unique-soundin’ music,
here; definitely space-y! Hearin’ tha chorus and it’s soundin’ great!! Diggin’
all these different-soundin’ parts!! ROFL, an instantly-hittin’ trap drop ta
top shit off!! Definitely lovin’ tha unique sounds, throughout this whole
entire track! Even sounds like beautiful weather before tha 2nd
verse! That’s how I feel about tha music, here!! Love when tha music speeds up,
too! Great lil’ transition at tha 3:00 mark!! Final drop: Monsterous!!! Lovin’
it!! Intensity at its finest!! My
Rating: 4.8
22.
Gryffin & Bipolar Sunshine “Whole Heart”
Now,
how will them “Middle” dudes follow up their DJ Snake collab? I can like Gryff,
at times, so we’ll see if a PO appearance
helps? Interscope, here… >>> Hearin’ tha intro and it sounds like a
nice, hot bath, lol… Tha chorus sounds pretty nice ta hear, here… And, a
nice-and-vibratin’, warpy-soundin’ drop!! Excellent!! Even tho I’m not
all-tha-way special about these slow songs, I have ta say, this one has some
quality ta appreciate. I’ll give it my “whole heart,” for tha rating, lol. I
like it more, now, as it slowly ends; I appreciate it more!! My Rating: 4.2
Overall: And, looks like this PO wins a trophy from ya boy!! Definitely felt this CD a whole lot!! Not too many exclusive
labels, but tha tracks were definitely
on fire!! Gotta hold it down fa what’s ta come fa 2017!!
