Finally
back in tha Promo Only review mode!! Got Promo Only: Dance Radio November 2017,
here! I realized not too long ago that I ain’t get to review a PO without lookin’ at tha tracklist, this year! Now, it’s
that time, especially for a November CD! I tend to have high hopes for tha
November ones (e.g., I added my favorite song of tha 2000’s decade (DJ Scotty K
& Knockhopper “Goodnight Tonight”) exactly a decade ago today & it was
on tha November 2007 CD)! Last year’s November CD was real nice, as well as a
bunch others! I’m also in a really-good mood ‘cause comin’ up real soon, I gon
have my 1st-eva original production for an artist! I ain’t get to
produce tha beat 100% pure, so I had anotha producer enhance it fa me! Still,
my hands iz on it!! Can’t wait!! This review came 1st, so here I
go…!! Happy Birthday, Big Wayne & Zippin’ Zindle (co-worker)!! Start Time: 3:59 PM | End Time: 5:55 PM
Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> “ iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> “ iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it.

01.
Tiësto feat. StarGate & Aloe Blacc “Carry You Home”
Figured
it had to land on here somewhere, and at tha beginning it iz! Courtesy of
Musical Freedom, a Music Choice Dance add from last week… Not bad of a song…
Like tha previous track, tha male-vocal thing wasn’t bad… Actually, its spins
were pretty nice, despite my lonely summer… I think this just on tha decent
side… *Re-listen…* >>> Tha beginning gives a good vibe, even tho it a
lil’ on tha guilty-pleasured side… Just a lil’ decent track, paced at 122… My
decent thinking made me think of it
bein’ a lil’ better… I believe it qualifies for a good rating, in an okay
perspective… My Rating: 4.2
02.
CamelPhat & Elderbrook “Cola”
ADA
& Defected, here… Lol, nice lil’ pick, here, courtesy of Music Choice Dance
on tha add… Also, brings back those good-ole times of Music Choice Dance and
their BE-AT.TV! Luved tha techno/deep house vibe of their tracks! And, this a
nice lil’ more-than-mainstream-usual-type track… A lil’ on tha interesting
side, mixed with nice, addictive music, in a techno-typa way… OMG, just
thinkin’ ‘bout my upcomin’ track and I’m feelin’ like it gon get hot up in
here!! I feel tha heat!!! But yeah, nice lil’ continuous vibe, here… My Current Rating: 4.6
03.
SJ “Reflection”
An
Enhanced production, here… I had a feelin’ this was gon be on here, courtesy of
MCD… I didn’t really appreciate their “Hung Up” track, at first, but I do like
it better in a way… As far as this…, >>> Tha vocal vibe and beat makes
it seem pretty anticipatin’… Also, it reminds me of… *looks up name…* Jay-J,
deep house producer from tha early 2000’s on MCD… I think ‘cause of tha “J” in
tha name… But yeah, sounds like a pure track fa tha current world!! Definitely
a nice lil’ smooth track, here! Three 122erz in a row… Talk about random
consistency, lol! My Rating: 4.8
04.
Klingande “Pumped Up”
ROFL…,
lol…, sad!! Ultra, here, but…, really…? A Foster The People remake, already?
Like, that much time done went on by…?! Cheesy ‘cause of how it was originally
tha times of gettin’ robbed for tha 1st time… However, a lil’ betta
than normal fa a random dance-music appearance? Shoulda been an original track,
tho! Nothin’ else ta say about this one… My
Current Rating: 3.7
05.
Two Friends feat. Kevin Writer “While We’re Dreaming”
Source
& Spinnin’ on tha label, here… I’ono…; I’ono really what ta expect, especially
revealin’ it at 4:20 PM! I feel like it gon be mindblowing… Ehh, if I have to
destroy my really-high expectations, then lemme just gamble ‘em all away on
this track, right chea!! Lol!! I’m so excited about 128 BPM, lol! Seems like it
neva comes around, these dayz! Crazy!! >>> Seems like I heard it
before…? I’ono, but kinda sounds like a decent/semi-cheesy track… Got much
betta wit tha chorus, here…! Kinda an interestin’ drop, but, I’ono, I thought
it was a full-force dance sound? Seems a lil’ slow, at times… Either way, still
a lil’ nice fa me… It has its good parts, overall… It makes tha dreamer (me) appreciate life more,
especially while I am!! My Rating: 4.4
06.
Disciples “Jealousy”
Warner
Bros., here, and it looks like it gon be good… >>> Mighta heard from
somewhere? Mighta been a recent add… Kinda has a unique sound ta it, especially
that it’s about “jealousy!” Definitely hot & catchy, here, with a
mainstream vibe, too! Nice lil’ female appearance on tha bridge, too! Fuckin’ NICE!!!
Lol, I couldn’t handle more of a donut to eat, but to have tha female part
repeat more than what I could eat, lol!! Fuckin’ right, fuckin’ right!! My Rating: 4.7
07.
Alan Walker “The Spectre”
Seen
tha “3:07” length and was like, “Damn, there it iz!! And, this?!” Yeah, it iz,
lol! RCA, here, and I think it’s a nice lil’ track… Unique-soundin’ male vocals
with a growing verse/chorus beat, as well as tha drop bein’ nice, too…! I like
how it makes you feel in some state of euphoria with its sound, ya know…? My Current Rating: 4.7
08.
Audien “Message”
Good
pickings, once again, courtesy of Astralwerks! An MCD add from last month &
it feels so euphoric!! Definitely feel it in an intense way!! Not bad for our decent guy, here!! Just extremely anthemic!! I was thinkin’
‘bout my production comin’ up b4 I seen what was on here as #08! My Current Rating: 4.9
09.
Hardwell & KSHMR “Power”
Spinnin’,
here, and…, yeah, I feel it! I also noticed, like, tha pace of this CD’s
gettin’ faster & faster from tha beginning, lol! I ain’t trippin’; I’m
right! Gotta luv its quickness fa 2:28, especially with its 132-paced temp…o…!
Definitely nice & anthemic, here!! Definitely a reminder of my $590.00 win
at tha casino three weeks ago! Only 2nd try, 48,000 pennies! Lol! My Current Rating: 4.8
10.
Kelly Clarkson “Love So Soft (Marc Stout/Scott Svejda Radio Mix)”
Missin’
a slash between tha two producers, here, PO…,
lol? Atlantic, here, and a usually-cheesy
artist fa me, here… >>> Don’t wanna say it’s not catchy….; nice lil’
mix, especially to hear a pop remix, these dayz… Nice lil’ production behind
this, makin’ it sound as dance-y as possible… Good attempt… Gonna suck up tha
guilty pleasure in some way… Oh, some
of my ex-friends came in to see me, Sunday & they seemed interested in me
returnin’ back to them… I’ono, crazy decision… Only fa my best friend! Crazy
how time rolls! Also, same day, DJ B-Real finally
unblocking me from Instagram, writin’ me outta nowhere! I’ono what I did, but
I’m growin’ and they appreciatin’!! Life iz fuckin’
good!! Nice lil’ remix… My Rating: 4.3
½time: Only one track under a
4.0? Pretty dope CD, so far, with a 4.5 fa tha CD rating, currently! Definitely a
lotta “Power,” as #09 would say! Definitely pure heat tha whole way ‘round!!
Can’t wait fa more!!
11.
Zayn feat. Sia “Dusk Till Dawn (Brooks Remix)”
RCA,
here, and… >>> I know there’s a good vibe, here, so I gotta appreciate
it while I can! Sounds like a catchy lil’ chorus, with this “Scared To Be
Lonely” remixer, lol—still can’t believe we’re in tha same year as that song,
still! It’s been a long, but memorable, unique, euphoric, adventurous year!!
Unbelievable!! Best one of my life, most definitely!! My Rating: 4.5
12.
Cosmic Gate & Eric Lumiere “Bigger Than We Are”
Ooh,
unexpected JACKPOT track, here?!? Courtesy of Black Hole, these two
are back with anotha collab!! Top track, I predict!! EASILY!! Just
statin’ tha predicted facts, even if I was to be wrong…? Lol! >>> Has
a similar start to “Edge Of Life” and sounds good, here… Oh, definitely luvin’
this vibe!! Pure heat, pure positive vibes!! Life of a celeb!! That’s what it
makes me feel like! It’s great to walk this planet they call Earth as a celeb,
every day!! I’ono ‘bout tha top track, but definitely a real-nice effort!! Real
close!! My Rating: 4.8
13.
Reiss Harrison “Control (Stereojackers Progressive Radio Edit)”
A
new Carrillo track, here… It looks like it gon be anticipatin’… Will it catch
me off-guard? Dunno what to expect, really… >>> Not thinkin’ that this
gon be gettin’ out there, due to its unique/underrated sound, I think I gon
support it in a big way, or somethin’! I’ono, but a nice feelin’ when I said
that! Nice lil’ drop; definitely diggin’ tha sound, here! Feelin’ like it long
but in a good way… Definitely feel it, like, an area with fish, lol… I know,
that was a strange way of thinkin’ but an adventurous one, tho! I feel so
euphoric and appreciated to be able to control a whole entire CD comin’ out,
too!! I’m winnin’!! That’s why, I be lovin’ these reviewz as they come &
go!! My Rating: 4.7
14.
twoDB feat. Fo Onassis “iParty”
That’s
weird that “iParty” and “Radio” are both back to back in tha ID (“iParty (Radio Clean)”)! Reminds me of tha old Chicago online station, iPartyRadio; miss them a lot! Was listenin’ to and enjoyin’ their
last of their “Ghost,” around this time, four years ago!! Trippy as fuck!! Ghosts are REAL!!! Anyway, their label, twoDB Music, on tha label! Should be
definitely excitin’ in a unique way?! >>> A strange lil’
rap-house-soundin’ track? I’ono, kinda nice… Even tho a self-released track, to
me, it sounds really mainstream-like? Sounds a lil’ familiar but still sounds
nice and nice, here… Nice, hard-hittin’, warped-soundin’ drop, here! Lost in it
like “For A Day” or somethin’, lol… Almost thought I heard “niggas” at 1:36… Lol,
just wanted to throw my thinkin’ off fa a second… Then again, there’s always
“haterz…” My Rating: 4.3
15.
Mairee “Papapa (Club Mix)”
Black
Hole on tha label, here, not knowin’ what I’m gettin’ myself inta… >>>
I luv how I feel really lost with my
mind, right now… It definitely adds a boost to things… Kinda caught me
off-guard with them instruments… Definitely nice, here… And, quick title part,
then drop, soundin’ nice, in its mysterious wayz… Finally, a lil’ bit more of a
vocal part, tho kinda random/good at times, mixed…? Nice and lost in a world,
here… Overall, I’d say, definitely unique in its own, random wayz… Definitely
nice fa this CD’s appearance!! My
Rating: 4.5
16.
Ofenbach vs. Nick Waterhouse “Katchi”
Only
2:30, here, courtesy of Warner Bros… Surprised that we’re 16 songs in and still
above 120 BPM! And, that trend of decreasin’ paces started two years ago, after
this PO in 2015! Crazy! What to think, here…?
>>> Sounds like one of those cheesy-soundin’ remakes… That’s what it
reminds me of, throughout tha track… I may give it some spins but I’ont think
I’ll rate it very high… I thought it was a way of sayin’, “Catchy,” lol? Guess not…? This makin’ my mind get thrown in weird
wayz… Overall, I’ono about this one…; definitely cheesy… My Rating: 3.3
17.
Halsey “Bad At Love (Hook N Sling Remix)”
Astralwerks
& Capitol, here, back with her… >>> Kinda decent…; kinda a guilty
pleasure, tho… I’ono what else ta say, but a decent remix, here… Nothin’
special, but nothin’ bad… It not even three minutes, anyway, lol… I feel like I
may like it more in tha future, tho… My
Rating: 3.8
18.
DJ Snake feat. Lauv “A Different Way”
And,
it snuck its way inta this damn CD, lol… Geffen & Interscope, here, and
yeah, it’s good, I’ll admit… Kinda a good guilty pleasure, tho… I’ono, but I
feel like I like this a lot more,
now, but, randomly sayin’… Just likin’ tha combination of tha music and vocals,
at times… You gotta be in tha right
zone ta enjoy this more and more, tho… Like, this tha ***PERFECT*** zone
ta be in, ta enjoy this!! My Current
Rating: 4.6
19.
Kygo feat. Justin Jesso “Stargazing”
Ultra,
here, kinda expectin’ this one… And, there’s two tracks underneath it…! A
decent lil’ slow song, here… It’s good to have a lil’ Kygo vibe, here and
there… Nice lil’ vocal chops, along with a slow vibe… Odd mix but a worth-it
mix… Oh, just hearin’ this, makes me think of climbin’ that mountain and screamin’ off tha top of my lungs of how
HAPPY I gon be when that track of mine gets completed!!! I will accomplish somethin’!! I got a BRIGHT-ASS
future ahead of me!! I’m celebratin’ my success every day!! Baleedat!! My Current Rating: 4.3
20.
BLVK JVCK “Mind Games”
Big
Beat, here, and I already feel tha intensity & strength in this one, before
even hearin’ it!! Just typin’ tha artist’s name gave me “mind games,” lol!!
Title applied b4 I could even hear tha track!! Can’t wait ta hear, with only
2:41 & 98 BPM…!! Might know from Music Choice Dance? Maybe…? >>> A
random female start, here… I feel like this gon have somethin’ special ta
offer… A catchy lil’ chorus but I’ono how serious I can take it, sometimes?
Actually, kinda likin’ that drop! Kinda expected betta, but still nice… My Rating: 4.2
21.
Borgeous & Taylr Renee “Sweeter Without You”
Follow-up
to tha #21 a decade ago on PO… It was my
favorite track of tha 2000’s (DJ Scotty K & Knockhopper “Goodnight
Tonight”)…! Now, here we are, 10 years later!! Can’t believe so much time done
went by!! *Checks ID…* Here we go…!! *Checks ID…(really)…* Lol, fa’real, lol?
Geousus on tha label, but yeah, definitely a nice lil’ collab… Of course, life
of tha party, here… Definitely feelin’ tha vocals, lyrics & vibe a whole
lot… It has its versatile vibes, here… It’s mainly a positive vibe, but also,
can get through a negative one? LOL, no negative vibes here…, I think? I’ono… My Current Rating: 4.4
Overall: Definitely an intense
review, but so many positive vibes that made me feel even more confident about
tha future!! However, a trippy vibe, too! I finished tha review at 5:55 PM…
Now, this tha November ’17 edition…
On November 17, in 2011, I was robbed with bookin’ an undaground artist… It was
$555 worth of expenses… How trippy!! Anyway, a lotta already-released
tracks, but still had a lotta great vibes from most of ‘em! Glad tha ratings are
high ‘cause it just gives me more and more confidence fa my future! True facts!
We gotta support tha music to tha fullest ‘cause—my new saying—“There’s music
today, and there may not be 2morrow…” That quote just means to support it to
tha fullest, while you can!! Should neva be a challenge to support music!!
