© 2016 CD Review (Review #1,606) reviewed on 12.15.2016 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01.
Tritonal & Sj “Hung Up”
Kickin’
it off wit this and speakin’ of January 20, 120 BPM! “120”!! Track “1” of “20”,
too!! Crazy!! Enhanced Recordings, here, with a decent Music Choice Dance add…
Odd how not an error, but Sj’s name doesn’t have a capital “J”… Lemme rehear
for tha review… >>> Vocals are nice and tha music’s okay, here… I
don’t have much to say, but I don’t really fuck wit Tritonal havin’ a more
slower sound… I appreciated their powerful energy anthems!! My Current Rating: 3.6
02.
Robin Schulz & David Guetta feat. Cheat Codes “Shed A Light”
A
Parolphone/Atlantic collaboration, here; anotha decent one! >>> I’ve
liked all tha other Cheat Codes songs betta but it’s always good to have anotha
one! Music kinda plain and slow, but it’s good… My Current Rating: 4.0
03.
Martin Solveig feat. Ina Wroldsen “Places”
Heard
of tha featured artist before… I remember tha song but I can’t think of what it
iz, at tha moment… *Checks iTunes…* Oh yeah, of course it wasn’t gonna click
right away, due to them always bein’ uncredited… Ms. “How Deep Is Your Love”
with Calvin Harris + Disciples from last year! Neva
got ta hear, so let’s see, brought to you by Casablanca & Republic…
>>> Sounds exciting fa a M-Solveig song; definitely diggin’ tha “How
Deep Is Your Love” voice! Has a good sound to it with tha “places” and shit;
all about visiting! Drop kinda plain, but it sounds good, still… I still think
this sounds nice, catchy & pure, in its ways! My Rating: 4.3
04.
Elephante feat. Brandyn Burnette “Plans”
Elephante
holdin’ down his self-released tracks! Can’t wait for anotha new song, here!
>>> Tha intro sounds like tha male version of “Closer” with that
grain-y start… I’ono, I can’t say nothin’ negative or special about it, but I
have to say that it has a good vibe to it, while in tha zone!! Almost kinda
tropical-like? Nice shit! It’s gonna seem funny but I can’t wait for this to
get released, lol!! My Rating: 4.4
05.
KDA feat. Tinashe “Just Say”
Let’s see what this gon be ‘bout,
courtesy of RCA… >>> I can’t “say” anythang negative about this, yet;
I think it sounds nice… Beat ain’t too bad and ain’t too plain for a newer
song… And, Tinashe kinda holdin’ it down, here… Funny how I can’t wait fa this
to get released, too! Even tho I got up from my nap and jumped right into this
CD review, I have to say, this CD’s really changed my weird mood to a special
one!! My Rating: 4.3
06.
Riton & Kah-Lo “Betta Riddim”
Can’t
wait to hear; trippy as fuck?! eOne doin’ tha signin’, this time! >>>
I know it’s comin’!! Trippiness!! Of course, catchy, unexpected-soundin’ vocals
from our Kah-Lo! Really feelin’ tha catchiness of all tha random vibes, here!
“One time fa tha lit ones!” Not tha lil’, but tha lit! “Who’s daddy? Who’s
mommy?” How random!! Good-ole God, lol! Really random after tha 2nd
verse! Luvin’ tha breakdown after tha 2nd verse!! Glad they pulled
anotha one off after they rinsed &
repeated, lol!! My Rating: 4.6
07.
Dëhasse feat. Mark Le Sal “Reaction”
Nice
to see some Dëhasse exposure, finally, on a PO,
after a few previous singles! Tha royal Xtravaganza on tha label, with PO forgettin’ to credit Mark Le Sal on tha feature!
I’ono, nothin’ too crazy but nothin’ negative about it. It just sounds like a
nice lil’ dance song that’s not too slow! Catchy male vocals and a jammin’,
consistent, regular-soundin’ beat! My
Current Rating: 4.4
08.
John Legend “Love Me Now (Dave Audé Radio Edit)”
I’ono
what to say… Columbia,
here… >>> A lotta spacin’ out, randomly, while playin’ a lil’ Tony
Hawk for PlayStation on my computer, while reviewin’… I have to say, even tho
it’s just John Legend, Dave did a nice job with this remix! Gotta luv tha
catchy beats and excellent drop!! Even tho I think he cheesy and a lil’ played
out, now-a-dayz, I have to say, this his best one in a while!! Did tha high
help, lol?! My Rating: 4.5
09.
Vanrip “Music Sounds Better With You”
Anotha
Enhanced Recordings track on this CD, even tho this looks like a remake? I’ono
what to say, again…!! >>> Sounds like it in tha beat in tha beginning…
Tha chorus tha same, but I’m likin’ this more-energetic version! Crazy how tha
original version was a lil’ before when my music passion started and now, it’s,
like, 20 years-old?! Whaaa………?!? Excellent-soundin’ drop; definitely feels
great! Can’t believe a remake/cover’s winnin’ me over, lol! My Rating: 4.3
10.
Giorgio Moroder feat. Karen Harding “Good For Me”
Here
comes a new one, courtesy of a Party 105 random appearance! Caught it and it
was on, lol! Casablanca,
here, with a nice-soundin’ dance track! Diggin’ those Black Eyed Peas “Shut
Up”-like beginning vocals! That’s what it reminds me of, lol! And, pluses to
tha energy in tha beat, here! My Current
Rating: 4.4
½time: I think this sounds like
an excellent CD, here! Pretty-much each song has surprised me in each of its
own wayz!! Definitely feelin’ all tha surprises!! A 4.3-rated CD, currently!! Let’s get
it!!
11.
DVBBS & CMC$ feat. Gia Koka “Not Going Home”
I
feel like it gon be tha next big Spinnin’ song fa me! Lookin’ forward ta
hearin’ this new collaboration!! >>> Really feelin’ these catchy vocals!
They’re R&Bish but also, dance-y and I’m diggin’ tha combination! Somethin’
special in how this sounds with tha vocals, lyrics & beat, here; it’s tha
perfect combination! Drop’s dope, too! My
Rating: 4.5
12.
Mako & Rat City feat. Natalola “Run For Your Life
(Shorter Radio Edit)”
Somethin’
tells me that I can’t wait ta hear this one! This and its 104 BPM-ass, lol!
Ultra, here; leggo!! >>> Vocals sound pretty nice and almost sound
like a remake or somethin’… And, a nice lil’ strong drop, too! Definitely pure!
Gotta luv err-body’s risks at producin’ slower tracks, but it works! Definitely
nice!! My Rating: 4.6
13.
Peking Duk feat. Elliphant “Stranger”
Ain’t
realize it could be a special one!! RCA, here, with a “You Are Like Nobody
Else” Duk and tha UK’s
unique Elliphant!! >>> Sounds like it could be real special or somethin’!! Really feelin’ tha beginning, here!
Definitely know there’s a top-rated feeling, here!! Tha chorus sounds good; I
can dig it… Let’s see if this can keep it up!! Yeah, tha drop’s pretty intense
and draggin’ you in like a current!! I think we got a good one for a
***PERFECTLY-RATED song***, lol!! My
Rating: 5.0
14.
Krewella “Team”
A
new one from them that I couldn’t find till now, thanx to its early dose of
exposure! Columbia,
here, with anotha mid-speed song from them! >>> Has a good sound to it
in tha background… Kinda sounds silly but I’m definitely diggin’ it with tha
sound, here! It’s almost like guts come outta that mid-speed sound in tha
drops! My Rating: 4.6
15.
Clean Bandit feat. Sean Paul & Anne-Marie “Rockabye”
A
unique one that I had to catch onto, fast! Big Beat & Atlantic, here… When
Clean Bandit are on POs, it almost seems like they catch tha best levels of
highs with me! Interestin’ collaboration, great Anne contribution & tha
beat’s crazy! Love it in all ways!! ROFL, tryna throw my high a curveball? No
random Sean Paul moments during tha drop, lol? Also, a shorter Sean Paul verse?
Interestin’… My Current Rating: 4.7
16.
Far East Movement x Marshmello feat. Chanyeol & Tinashe “Freal Luv”
Kinda
ehh with tha beginning thoughts of it… However, re-hearin’ it on here and it’s
soundin’ like its own, unique anthem! Bugs Music & eOne on tha label, here…
If it wasn’t for it bein’ on here, I wouldn’t’ve paid too much attention to
this, but it’s almost like this a bonus… Tinashe gettin’ a lotta dance-music
exposure… Her 2nd appearance on this CD, lol! And, tha random Korean
rappin’, too! My Current Rating: 4.2
17.
Adventure Club feat. Sara Diamond “Firestorm”
Oh,
boy!! My manager’s birthday of 3:26 on tha length!! Ooh, crazy when it happens!
BMG, here, with a new single from them! Can’t wait ta hear, even tho only 70
BPM?! >>> Sounds like a pretty intense and strong beginning!
Definitely feelin’ what we got goin’ on, here, wit tha royal sound! Tha chorus
iz pretty tight and so iz this trap-soundin’ drop! A lil’ hypnotizin’ vs. a
lil’ hip-hoppin’! Crazy-soundin’ song, overall!! Near my top-rated!! My Rating: 4.9
18.
Seven Lions & Echos “Cold Skin”
And,
anotha huge one, here, courtesy of Monstercat!! First heard on a night off
edibles and I had to go check out what I was listenin’ to! I knew somethin’ was
up!! And, here’s this, somethin’ so special, lol!! Really feelin’ tha dark,
trippy & crazy vibe with tha vocals and beatz!! Even tho at times, I want
faster beat parts, it still sounds nice with its trippy vibes! I feel like it’s
this winter’s anthem with me drivin’ through so much snow bullshit during tha
night!! My Current Rating: 4.9
EDIT: After about 10 minutes or
so, I finally rated it, lol! A 4.9!!!
19.
Breathe Carolina
x IZII “Echo (Let Go)”
Anotha
new one from Breathe Carolina, lol! So much consistentness!! It’s
unbelievable!! Spinnin’, here!! Can’t wait ta hear!! >>> Sounds like
it gon be somethin’ special based off tha beat, here… Their “Stars &
Moon”’s playing in tha background of Music Choice Dance, right now, as I review
this! What timing!! Sounds like special vocals, here! And, tha chorus sounds
pretty nice! Luv how everyone’s singles that they droppin’s real special!! I feel like I’ve heard it
from somewhere, before! Crazy drop!! Definitely a sick song!! Luv how they
decided to not sing on their own track; interestin’ move… I actually don’t mind
them, but am surprised that they’re not singin’ on this track! Excellent,
either way!! My Rating: 4.8
20.
Alison Wonderland “Messiah”
And,
we gon end it with a queen to me?! Astralwerks, here, expectin’ a CRAZY
new single from her!!! >>> Sounds like a special start with this quiet
beat!! And, luvin’ how Alison sounds on this, too! Hope this one gets some
exposure!! Just luvin’ it based off of less than 40 seconds in!! Tha chorus
pretty nice, drop’s pretty sick and tha title part’s crazy!! Just luv her vocals, what she comes up with and
everything!! Definitely one of my favorite ending songs to a CD eva?!? OMG, tha music sounds so special
to where I almost feel like I wanna faint or somethin’ crazy!! Definitely
feelin’ what she bringin’ to tha table!! My
Rating: 5.0
Overall: I think I have tha
highest score/average eva!! OMG, does that mean I gon have tha best January
2017, lol?! Really brought a lot to tha table, here!! Now, this how you make a CD!! I ain’t know what ta expect, at first, tho
I felt confident!! So many anthems!! Can’t believe I only rated tha Tritonal/1st
song not a 4.0, even tho tha 2nd song, I almost did!
