© 2017 CD Review (Review #1,652) reviewed on 2.16.2017 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01.
Alesso “Falling”
Def
Jam, here, with a decent track, this time… Decent, uncredited vocals, but he
shouldn’t do deep house! Sounds too plain for him and this beat… There’s times
where I like it, but for tha most part, it’s only decent… It’s prolly only best
tha higher you are… And, this tha best I can do with a rating… My Current Rating: 3.8
02.
Lucas & Steve feat. Jake Reese “Calling On You”
Was
a hit or miss to like, but you can’t deny these times/moments of hangin’ out
every single day!! Spinnin’ on tha label, here, and at first, I ain’t fuck wit
tha high-pitched Jake, here. However, thanx to both Music Choice Dance &
Party 105 for gettin’ it fast, it ain’t take too much longer to catch on… Gotta
have good music; that’s top priority!! My
Current Rating: 4.4
03.
Markus Schulz feat. Brooke Tomlinson “In The Night (Original)”
Related to Mr. Louis Tomlinson, from tha previous PO? Funny to see a Brooke with tha same last name!! Lol…! Coldharbour Recordings! >>> A guitar intro with some interesting, new vocals, here…! Tha chorus sounds nice, but I honestly thought it sounded a lil’ off-beat…! I’ono why, but I guess tha edibles done kickin’ in at tha right time ‘cause my anticipation was pretty high for tha drop!! And, here we are!! Excellent!! Powerful!! Gotta luv tha top-notch shit!!! Luv how tha powerful music continues throughout past tha chorus/drop!! My Rating: 4.9

Gareth Emery & Standerwick feat. Haliene “Saving Light”
A
Monstercat-released song, here! Props on tha signin’! Music Choice Dance with
tha premiere and it sounded pretty intense, in a nice way!! Definitely a nice
lil’ collab and props on tha 130 speed! Definitely gotta luv tha vocal trance
feel throughout tha whole entire 1st verse and music/drop!!
Definitely intense and pure with tha lyrics, too! Can’t deny all tha energy at all times!! Ain’t realize how short it
was for tha actual radio edit… Not too many vocal parts over tha beat (e.g.,
3:07); liked that part tha best, tho! My
Current Rating: 4.9
05.
Seven Lions & Jason Ross feat. Paul Meany “Higher Love”
Anotha
one of those Music Choice Dance ones!! Anjuanabeats on tha label, here!
Surprised to see an Anjuana release on here!! Have to say, somethin’ special
comes outta it for me! Luv that it’s tha faster dance music, here, almost like
a male vocal trance, in a way, with tha excitement I have for tha
chorus/vocals!! Definitely gotta luv tha anticipation, especially wit my
hangin’ out and love fa my boy, Doe-Doe!! Also, gotta luv tha 2nd
chorus in a huge way!!! Just luv how
those beats slam, in a slower way!!! My
Current Rating: 4.9
06.
Jonas Blue feat. RAYE “By Your Side”
Anotha nice appearance, too! I feel like I should appreciate it more, even tho it’s only doin’ decent with me, so far… Capitol-signed, here, and tha vocals/beat’s pretty nice… Gotta luv after tha drop and all that dubbin’!! Nice lil’ song, overall… My Current Rating: 4.3

07.
Brooke Candy x Sia “Living Out Loud (Madison Mars Remix)”
Month
of tha Brooke? Also, March 16’s a Brooke I know’s birthday!! Crazy March!!
Trippy-ass March!!! Lol!! RCA, here… >>> I’ono how serious I’ll take
this, but for tha moment, it sounds like a powerful remix… Kinda diggin’ how
these hours are countin’ down!! Also, anticipatin’ music? Can it be…? A decent
chorus… I feel like I pick and choose certain parts to like… And, it sounds
like a happy drop, here… Crazy to know that I’m makin’ my debut in Louisiana, next month
(in March) and these ratings are definitely
givin’ me tha confidence to know that it gon be okay!! Tha 2nd ½ of
tha chorus sounds like tha track’s at its peak, here!! My Rating: 4.5
08.
Rihanna “Sex With Me (MK Radio Remix)”
Roc
Nation & Def Jam, here; lemme see, here… >>> Kinda sounds slow but
faster? Decent-soundin’ chorus, here… Really likin’ it a whole lot after tha
chorus!! Sounds like a nice, somewhat-slower, pure feeling! I have to say, I’m
really feelin’ tha vibe, here, to tha fullest!! Just luvin’ tha MK music! I’ono
why, but 4:01 seems so long… That’s ‘cause tha time’s movin’ pretty slow, right
now… Still, a nice length! Nice ending with tha “stop!” My Rating: 4.6
09.
Madison Mars feat. Sanjana Ghosh “We Are The Night”
Tha
Mars again!! First time on PO and there’s two
appearances! What a debut!! Thrive Music in tha buildin’, here! >>>
Sounds like I can trust it on tha 1st verse, here… Got tha good
female vocals goin’, as well as tha not-so-plain music, here! Chorus sounds
good; and, a decent-soundin’ drop, here… Kinda has a lil’ energy, but more of a
Quintino/Don Diablo feel to it? But, definitely a nice way to have a debut single! Interesting: Tha final drop
reminded me of “Can’t Fight It” (Quintino x Cheat Codes) (11/16 PO) in how tha drop had tha full beat behind it! My Rating: 4.6
10.
Corderoy “Touch Your Face”
Enhanced
in tha buildin’! I’ono about this one… I might’ve heard it and wasn’t sure what
to do with it/how to treat it…? My manager’s birthday time of 3:26 on tha
length, too; uh-oh!! >>> Doesn’t sound like somethin’ I might’ve
thought of hearing… Diggin’ tha long intro and this voice-changed chorus!! Nice
lil’ beat, too!! Really diggin’ that there’s more beats in this than vocals!
Just luvin’ tha beat’s vibe to tha fullest!!! My Rating: 4.7
11.
Sigma feat. Birdy “Find Me”
A
whoppin’ 135 BPM!! Could it be real?! Astralwerks & Capitol on tha label,
here; leggo!! >>> A slow start; almost reminds me of Marina & The Diamonds or some alternative
voice, here… Tha chorus sounds pretty nice… How much interest will I have in
this? Tha drop sounds pretty nice; definitely lively, here!! More of tha slower
vibes, here, but I definitely dig tha vocals and fast beats!! My Rating: 4.7
½time: Only tha 1st
track’s under a 4.0!!! Just like tha January CD!! How did we manage to do it?!?
“By Your Side”’s tha 2nd least-rated song?! WTF?!? There’s that much
more better songs?!? Crazy shit!! A whopping 4.6 for tha CD rating, so far!! Can
it be a record?! Could be!! Crazy!! Crazy!!!
12.
Nevada feat.
Mark Morrison & Fetty Wap “The Mack (Danny Dove vs. Offset Radio Edit)”
Capitol, here… Honestly, I really dunno about this one!! Fetty Wap on Dance Radio?! Neva woulda seen tha day!! Can be great as a good joke, I guess? I can see this bein’ a remake!! >>> Exactly what I woulda guessed! And yeah, Fetty does make good for a joke! Still, not really fittin’ for tha continuously-tight tracks on this CD!! Just sounds like a fun lil’ dance remake, once again! Decent drop… Still, ROFL @ Fetty Wap!!! Here he iz and yeah, a lil’ too random? Not sure if he even fit, nor did this remake fit on here? Decent at its finest, due to that music… My Rating: 3.7

Intermission: Gotta just zone out to my
“Magic Potion” from my boy…!! *Zones out at 5:13 PM…* *Comes back at 5:30 PM…*
Wow, my best friend’s tha best!!! Tha greatest!! No one’s betta!!!
13.
Snakehips & MØ “Don’t Leave (Throttle Remix Full Radio Edit)”
I
totally forgot a remix was here, lol! RCA, here, with a remix! >>> Of
course, MØ sounds interestin’ with tha vocals, here… Decent song, overall…
Kinda like tha build-up, even tho tha drop has that Don Diablo feel, here…
Diggin’ tha 2nd build-up, as well! Diggin’ how it sounds a lil’
different! Nice lil’ remix, in a decent way, lol? My Rating: 4.1
14.
Terror Jr “Come First (Cosmic Dawn Radio Edit)”
I’ono…, I’ono…!! Atlantic, here… I’ono!! >>> Anticipatin’ that vocal start in tha beginning, here! Oh, I gotta slap myself for tha sketched-out anticipation!! Sounds nice on tha chorus! A lil’ calm but secretly tight, at tha same time! Definitely feelin’ tha “first” vibe and all tha elements in tha track, here! My Rating: 4.4

15.
Pavlova “Burn Brighter (Chris Cox Radio Edit)”
I
think I might’ve seen it on Party 105 or somethin’? Lookin’ forward to hearin’
Mr. Cox on tha mix wit Republic on tha label!! Feels like it’s takin’ me
forever to get to listen to some of these tracks (e.g., double time!!!) ‘cause
I’m listenin’ to Xenia Ghali & Raquel Castro’s “Places”, all tha time!
Three times during this review, so far, lol! >>> Sounds pretty hot
with this beat and new female vocals, here! Almost sounded like a remake in tha
beginning? Sounds pretty hot on tha chorus, too! Definitely reminds me of one
of those exciting dance tracks from earlier in tha ‘00s or somethin’! And, a
nice drop from Mr. Cox, here! Pure heat, especially with tha “smoke” start to
tha 2nd verse, here!! Definitely a lotta excitement in this track,
right chea!! Not even three minutes long!! Lots can fit inside a high!!! My Rating: 4.8
16.
Monsieur Adi feat. Red “Stay Up Late”
A
new Robbins song, here; can’t wait ta hear! Wonder how they’ll do with tha
slow, 118 BPM side of thangz??? >>> Sounds like some pure vocals and
an interesting beat, here! I’ono, but tha lyrics sound real interestin’, here!! Gotta luv tha chorus, too!! Sounds like
our hidden secrets to tha world that are tha best!! Feelin’ how tha 2nd
verse sounds; definitely has a happy vibe to it! Of course, “stay up late!”
Can’t deny tha darkness!! Trippy, dark rides and shit!! Sounds so powerful!!
Definitely intense, in a pure, fresh way, here!! My Rating: 4.8
17.
Pegboard Nerds feat. Desirée Dawson “Talk About It”
A
new one on Music Choice Dance that came outta nowhere, courtesy of Monstercat,
tha top-notch label!! Definitely some nice beats, as high as 140! Even more
excitement ta enjoy!! Catchy vocals in tha beginning with tha “talk to me…”
sample! Beats are definitely nice and tha vocals are pretty dope, too! Gotta
luv every beat! Fast, slow, breakdown, etc.!! Sometimes, tha beat reminds me of
“Let Me Be Your Fantasy”! Gotta luv how I premiere these songs fa tha 1st
time at my best friend, my broski, Cory’s house! Ultimate environment to get
debut spins!! My Current Rating: 4.7
18.
Gnarly Davidson “Love Me, I’m Famous (Joe Maz Remix Radio Edit)”
Primary
Wave & Mothership on tha label, here! Let’s see what kinda shit gon go down
wit this one… >>> When I seen tha “Gnarly” in tha artist’s name, as
well as how this sounds, I almost thought it was Cee-Lo Green! First person I
woulda thought of! I’m kinda feelin’ this disco, crazy beat-type shit, tho!
Definitely lovin’ all tha beats, here!! It sounds cheesy on tha vocals but
definitely top-notch, new life-type shit, here!! Oh boy, “Funkytown” during tha
final chorus, here… Can’t believe this one’s less than three minutes, too!!
Felt so long, lol!! Overall, let’s
just say that it’s a pure guilty pleasure!!! My Rating: 4.8
19.
Krewella “Team (Dave Audé Edit)”
Columbia, once again, with an
enhanced remix! Gotta luv Dave! Sounds like it needed a remix, after tha
original seemed a lil’ slow? Hearin’ this edit, compared to an extended,
explicit version I got and I’m diggin’ tha instant start! No time waitin’ to
slam that beat!! Always great havin’ a best friend on tha “team,” one that you
can tell all your secrets to and they’d respect/help you out with your guilty
pleasures! Ya know, tha magic potions!! Incredible!!! Once again, gotta luv how
Dave took tha original beat and added his twist to it! My Current Rating: 4.6
20.
Total Ape “Young Gods”
Let’s
see what we got for a Warner Bros.-signed song, here, with only 104 BPM…
>>> Oh boy, I think this gon be pretty trippy!!! Sounds pretty intense
wit tha vocals, here, even tho a lil’ kiddy-ish? Still, pretty trippy and
scary?! Definitely dope!! Sounds like tha darker version of Peking Duk &
Elliphant’s “Stranger”, wit this tempo! Crazy comparison!!! I’ono…, this may be
a crazy prediction, but I feel like because of this song’s scariness, I think I
gon have a scary moment in Louisiana,
since it’s next month?! Crazy to think like that but I feel like this CD’s tha
soundtrack to tha trip!! It’s in March! March/March!! Such creepy-ass, eerie
vocals and sound, here!! My Rating: 4.8
21.
Ken Loi feat. Sam Tinnesz “Déjà Vu”
Thrive
on tha label, here! I’ono how much I feel/gon feel tha DJ? I’ono, tho…
>>> A decent start, here, but yeah, this ain’t my favorite type of
dance music… Male vocals are decent but tha beat don’t sound so EDM-y… Hearin’
tha chorus and tha sounds pick up… More on tha trap side on tha drop/chorus,
here… I don’t think I have tha most interest in this… Not really feelin’ all
tha non-dance elements… My Rating: 3.6
22.
CMC$ feat. Jalise Romy “Keys”
I’m
real excited ta hear this one, courtesy of Spinnin’!! Felt tha “Not Going Home”
collaboration with DVBBS from two POs ago! This should be just as good, if not,
betta?!? >>> Sounds like a positive vibe in tha beginning, here?
Almost thought it was gonna be a lil’ more dark than poppy, here… Kinda a poppy
vibe with these lyrics and how this sounds, overall… Still, some nice beats
goin’ on, here; can’t deny tha trapness!! A lil’ bit of a guilty pleasure wit
tha sound, here, but it don’t disappoint, in a way… My Rating: 4.2
23.
Martin Garrix & Dua Lipa “Scared To Be Lonely”
RCA,
here, and I think we have our EDM song of 2017!! I knew it was gonna be somethin’
but it’s tha ultimate song fa this generation!! Somethin’ special about it;
gotta luv Dua Lipa on tha vocals!! Somethin’ special sparked me with it and
it’s pretty crazy! So many hangouts with my boy, Cory, every day, as well as
hearin’ from Doe-Doe!! Ultimate song of tha year!!! Will it top my year-end
countdown?!? Who knows but tha best ending song to a PO
eva!! Also, tha 2nd ending song to get a ***PERFECT RATING*** from
me…IN THIS YEAR ALONE!!! And, this
only tha 3rd edition of tha year!! See, even tho I ain’t really fuck
wit tha original version of “In The Name Of Love”, this song sounds so much
betta, especially wit Dua Lipa!! Basically, if I had to describe tha final PO
song before my Louisiana
trip, how would I rate tha trip? Looks like it’s a ***PERFECT RATING***!!!!
Can’t wait!! Celebrity status has hit!! My
Current Rating: 5.0
Overall: This gotta be tha best PO I’ve eva reviewed!! AT LEAST HALF THA CD WAS AT LEAST 4.6’s!!!!! That’s unbelievable!!!
Guess that’s how my debut Louisiana
trip’ll go?! But yeah, this was definitely
tha compilation of greatness, here!! PO, y’all
always gettin’ betta and betta, somehow!! It just magically happens!!!
