© 2018 CD Review (Review #1,780) reviewed on 9.14.2018 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01.
Calvin Harris & Sam Smith “Promises”
Columbia, here, with a decent
follow-up to tha “Kiss” that I slowly started to think was just okay, instead
of 4.6ish… Damn, just noticed, I have ta say, PO Error #01: Calvin Harrs;
heir to Mr. Harr!! Lol! >>> I like how it has a softer dance and
borderline pop vibe to it… Nice lil’ collab; not too ehh/cheesy… My Rating: 4.4
02.
Steve Aoki feat. Ina Wroldsen “Lie To Me (Blue Brains Steve Aoki Remix)”
Ultra,
here, with a new collab, as well… When tha April CD comes to hit ya for an Octo
one and no, we ain’t talkin’ “octa” (8); six months ago, 10th month!
No “8!” Can’t wait ta hear, I guess-ah…? >>> Sounds like it gon be
catchy and dark, or somethin’… Sounds good in a way that doesn’t match…! And,
we’ll call it an electrifyin’ drop? Like I said, tha randomness iz makin’ it
hot in its own wayz…! And, sounds great when tha energy suddenly rises…!
Definitely soundin’ great with those vocals, makin’ me feel like I’m leadin’ my
future and am not lettin’ any1 get in my way…! My new catchphrase:
#80sBabiesInOur30s!! My Rating: 4.6
03.
David Guetta feat. Anne-Marie “Don’t Leave Me Alone (R3hab Remix Radio Edit)”
Big
Beat & Atlantic, here, with a new, catchy one? Think it betta than tha
“Flames” fa me… >>> Sounds like it gon be a banger…! Definitely nice
and fulla energy, I guess? Not too much feedback but definitely a plus, lol…! I
just realized, too, that it took me three songs to admit that I ain’t get a
chance ta look at tha tracklist…! So, I’m basically goin’ in blind wit this
review…! I have to say, it’s definitely
nice!! HUGE competition vs. tha
previous CD & me thinkin’ of doin’ a live one for November! Stakes are
high…!! My Rating: 4.5
04.
MK x Jonas Blue x Becky Hill “Back & Forth”
Ultra,
here, with this collab… Wasn’t sure what to expect with me kinda passin’ up a 1st
listen chance… >>> Kinda thrown off a lil’ by tha chorus, at first,
but I definitely like that choppy drop…! Definitely nice… I feel like I
appreciate tha chorus better now that a verse came! Not like how my perspective
was so different… Overall, a lil’ bit of a guilty pleasure but a lil’ bit of a
nice vibe to it… My Rating: 4.5
05.
Disco Killerz feat. Delaney Jane & Sarah Charness “Beautiful Life”
Enhanced,
here, with somethin’ I feel like I mighta seen somewhere…? Either way, you already know while you’re fulla dat
shit, x2 ‘cause of tha day that this gon be HUGE…!!
>>> Yeah, definitely feelin’ how this sounds!! Pure energy, pure
vibes, just lovin’ Delaney on a new track…! I’m sucked into this vibe so much,
I’m zonin’ out from leavin’ feedback, at times…! However, I think tha
***PERFECT*** gon come outta me…! Definitely good thankin’, D-Killerz &
Enhanced!! Can call this a good theme to my #80sBabiesInOur30s!! My Rating: 5.0
06.
The Chainsmokers feat. Emily Warren “Side Effects (Fedde Le Grand Remix)”
Disruptor
& Columbia, here, with this one… Glad it got a nice lil’ mainstream/pop
exposure but I somewhat lost a lil’ interest in it…? I’ono… >>>
Re-hearin’ this remix and it sounds good for a lil’ house remix… It’s almost
like this song needed a lil’ boost up… But yeah, definitely a catchy lil’ “side
effect” to tha “Side Effects”! My
Current Rating: 4.4
07.
Lenny Kravitz “Low (David Guetta Remix)”
Roxie, ADA & BMG, here, with Lenny? Random… >>> Surprised to see somethin’ more upbeat than most of tha usual, now-a-dayz… Kinda a random lil’ track; one of tha last people I’d see on a track this upbeat… Still, definitely nice to show its ass off on this edition…! I’ono, I think it’s more decent… Like I say, it doesn’t have tha best of a blend together… I thought Steve Aoki had a better combination… My Rating: 3.8

08.
Sigala w/Ella Eyre & Meghan Trainor feat. French Montana “Just Got Paid”
Crazy
that tha next song iz Ultra, 120 BPM & I got my boy, Doe-Doe, on tha screen
w/me, via my latest Louisiana
trip! Not gonna reveal tha ID; just tha info! Let’s see if I can guess, if
that’s even possible…??? >>> Sounds like it’s pretty catchy… Ella Eyre
on tha vocals, here… Lol, funny how I thought I’d be able to guess bits and
pieces of what this could be… Now, a chorus wit “just [gettin’] paid!” Sounds
good wit her on tha track! *Reveals ID* Cot-Damn!!! Tha ID had, like,
triplets!!! Thought I mighta seen somewhere? I’ono… Either way, luv this vibe
and collab! Even wit French, lol; great flow fa this flow! My Rating: 4.7
09.
METAFO4R “Best Part Of Me”
Spinnin’,
here, with…, I’ono, I feel like there’s some HUGE ANTICIPATION
that finna strike…!! It’s just how I feel with tha 129 BPM, Spinnin’, tha ID
& how it corresponds with tha vibes I’m gettin’ from what track #’s I’m
on…! >>> A lil’ bit of a quiet start… Almost sounds like a popish
chorus? Maybe, I should take that back? Maybe, in between…? Hearin’ tha drop
and it’s pretty upbeat… Didn’t seem like too much lasting excitement? Back to
tha slowness… I’ono, but I feel like I can connect to this if there’s enough
positivity around… At times, I feel like I gon have to get adjusted to this…? My Rating: 4.3
10.
GATTÜSO feat. Myah Lanna “Who We Are? (Remix Radio Edit)”
T&T,
here, with a new one from Music Choice Dance! And, now, here real quick…!
I’ono, coulda connected wit it more through my higher anticipation (just “Myah”
on tha ID, thinkin’ it was “Myah” Marie
but it’s a new Myah Lanna). Also,
tha random question mark that they decided to go with in tha title. Neva seen that happen b4 with a “Who We Are”; they’re a 1st!
Definitely feelin’ this, tho; good newish vocals, as well as tha
progressin’/upbeat drop…! My Current
Rating: 4.6
11.
Shaun Frank feat. YA-LE “Bon Appetit”
Crazy/trippy
feelin’, right now!! Not only do I got Doe-Doe on my screen w/me, at this
present moment, but during my 2017 year-end countdown, Shaun Frank had a 120-spinned track wit me (“Addicted” w/Violet
Days) & also, its only competitor was Katy Perry & Migos “Bon Appetit”,
which also scored 120 spins wit me! Now, it’s Shaun Frank and a “Bon Appetit”, wit Doe-Doe & I on my screen!!
Crazy!! If only it had 120 BPM…!! But, 122, which also makes sense ‘cause he’s
exactly two dayz older than Mr. 122 (King Sav)!! #80sBabiesInOur30s!!
>>> I’ono what ta thank wit “El Baby Room”-soundin’ beginning…? A lil’
bit of a slow vibe… Nothin’ bad but sounds kinda soulish wit this
collaboration/sound… Tha chorus sounds a lil’ catchy, in a zone I’d wanna be
in: Just havin’ trees and a beach’s waves go back n forth! I’ono, good/mixed
feelings wit this one… My Rating: 4.0
½time: A 4.4-rated CD, so far but I’m really
feelin’ a good portion of this CD! Definitely a lotta exciting, unexpected
vibes, here!! Can’t wait fa more!! Sounds like a dream come true, lol!
12.
Breathe Carolina
x Lucas & Steve x Sunstars “Do It Right”
After
this one, tha next 4 I’mma review will be without revealin’ anythang!! Should be interesting!! Tha
blind battle!! But first, here’s #12… *Reveals ID…* Oh, boy!! Spinnin’, here;
know I done heard a sample! Know it’s official!!! >>> Didn’t expect
tha female vocals fa some reason… Either way, I thank this somethin’ more
official than that failing dance vs. dance remake, earlier in tha year (“Sweet
Dreams”). Pretty-nice chorus, vocals & vibe goin’ on… I may’ve heard better
from them but their three decents are betta than just one, right? Nice collab,
overall…! My Rating: 4.4
13.
Lemaitre feat. Betty Who “Rock Girl (Zack Martino Radio Remix)”
Oh
boy, #13, goin’ in blind…!!! Can’t fuckin’ wait!!! Whooot!!! Whoooop!!!
>>> Sounds like a mysterious male, here… Sounds like a powerful vocal
vibe, even tho a lil’ cheesy? Powerful lil’ chorus? Sounds like some catchy
lyrics about a “Rocket Girl”, even tho I thought it was an excited male, lol? I
think I’m ready ta see… *Reveals ID…* I was totally off wit tha male thang…;
good ole Betty on tha vocals… Lemaitre & Astralwerks, here…! Nice wit Zack
on tha remix… Also, self-released, I see; interestin’… My Rating: 4.1
14.
M-22 feat. Hayley May “How Does It Feel”
Doe-Doe…!!
*Blind Review #02* >>> I know this one; definitely a nice lil’ one…
Lol, why did I say, “Lil’?” Nice wit tha female and tha decent lil’ Don Diablo
music… That’s my guess? Definitely sounds pretty nice with tha drop! Definitely
feel real good about this one… *Reveals ID* It’s a 120er!! That, I surprisingly
guessed right! But yeah, wouldn’t’ve guessed… Ultra, here; mighta heard a lil’
snippet? Familiar, unlisted vocals… Good “lil’” one from M-22, here…! My Rating: 4.2
15.
Justin Caruso feat. Rosie Darling “High Enough”
Here
we go…!! *Blind Review #03* >>> Even tho it sounds a lil’ decent, I
thank this’ll be tha best outta tha 4, unexpectedly…? Definitely feelin’ tha
female and this whole entire “high enough” feeling!! Whoa!! I’ono, but I feel
somethin’ special with this vibe!! Luv that energetic drop and all that!! Feel
like I’ve heard this before, once I heard tha “sober” part. *Reveals ID…* Yeah,
thank I mighta… Definitely a good lil’ appearance, here…! Nine Twenty Two,
here; good shit! My Rating: 4.7
16.
Silk City & Dua Lipa feat. Diplo & Mark Ronson “Electricity”
Final
blind review; time ta see tha starz…!?! >>> Sounds like a slow track…
Oh, tha Dua Lipa feature wit Silk
City… *Reveals ID* Lots
of them in tha ID… Columbia,
here… I like how tha drop sounds kinda life-enjoying? I already know that’s tha
vibe Dua brings…! And, speakin’ of tha Dua move, here comes “One Kiss” on MCD…
Likin’ this slow collaboration… Sometimes, on a decent tip, but mainly, a good
vibe… Should be a crossover one, too… My
Rating: 4.2
17.
JRAFFE “California”
Have
no idea what ta expect… I guess I’ll just have some anticipation off of tha
NHMM signing…! >>> I’ono… Sounds more like an unknown pop track…?
Hmm…, I like some of tha lyrics—well, I’ono, kinda catchy but kinda cheesy…
Still, more of a pop-soundin’ song, at times. Either way, they signin’ throws
me off… Iz this a failing attempt at tryna break into tha mainstream…? I rather
this sing about Cali
bud… and I ain’t talkin’ friends!! My
Rating: 2.5
18.
Kris Kross Amsterdam x The Boy Next Door “Whenever”
Spinnin’,
here, with a slowie… I’ono how I’ll feel wit this one and this CD slowin’ down…
>>> Sounds like a long intro; interestin’ fa a slowie… LMAO, couldn’t
even recognize for a lil’ whilez that it’s Shakira on tha remake! Kinda a
slick, today’s-sexy way ta sneak in! I thank it just tha chorus part; rip-offy
for tha past, but would say that it’s like payin’ a good tribute… Mixed
feelings, overall… My Rating: 3.1
19.
Kevin Courtois feat. Lexy Panterra “Uncertainty”
An
“I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T” release!! Have no idea what ta expect wit only 107 BPM…
>>> Hate to thank it gon be a weird way, based off tha slow intro…
Hearin’ tha vocals now and they sound a lil’ sweet. Either way, I’ono
100%, yet… Sounds like a hot chorus and
a random/dark/good-soundin’ drop; str8 trippin’ out, at times… Likin’ it for a
not-really-signed track…! Sounds like college student’s hidden secrets…! My Rating: 4.4
20.
Marshmallow & Bastille “Happier”
Astrawlerks
& Capitol, here, with somethin’ I wouldn’t really anticipate… >>>
Like that it has a positive start but nothin’ too-too catchy fa me… Just sounds
like a pop-soundin’ euphoric anthem… Startin’ to drift off into boredism land
as this progresses… My Rating: 2.0
21.
Martin Garrix feat. Khalid “Ocean (David Guetta Remix)”
A
repeat, here, even tho I feel Banx & Ranx’s MCD mix betta! This Sirius XM…
>>> …Still, this has a lil’ smooth but faster sound to it. More on tha
decent side, just like tha original version… Still, a nice upbeat/updated one
from tha orig.… My Rating: 4.0
22.
Cascada “Everytime We Touch (Hardwell & Maurice West Remix)”
Robbins,
here, with a double-take of a double-take! See, back when I was 17, on May 20,
2006, when I reviewed tha Dance Radio
June 2006 edition, I thought to myself, “’Miracle’ (original version)
re-appearin’ on an edition? Now, here we are, 12 years later & now, this
re-appears, even faster?? Crazy/Random? Rather’ve heard a new song, tho… >>>
Yeah, really would’ve loved to hear a new one from them. I still consider them
tha true definition of “dance music,” especially since they had my 1st
review! Crazy that it was a review that basically introduced me to reviewin’
CDs! I’m almost 1,800 in, now! I’ono if I’ll play it, as far as it randomly
bein’ resurrected. However, who knows, maybe, I’ll be like my boy, MixMasterAl
& remix some of it/keep only certain parts? Sounds too much like tha
original… I like how tha drop has a bit of a faster vibe to it… Even Natalie,
herself: #80sBabiesInOur30s; ALWAYS gotta keep tha music
comin’…!! Still can’t believe in this 2018, in my 30’s times (not even tha
20’s—we SKIPPED tha 20’s!!) that this would re-appear & be faster! Crazy!
Gonna be a mixed rating, tho… My Rating:
2.6
Overall: A few tracks threw my
vibe off but for tha most part, there were a lotta quality bangerz!! Definitely
great for a blind review!! Even a ***PERFECT RATING***! Good shit! Definitely
gon look forward to rankin’ my rated tracks off this CD! Gonna wait till I get
up…! *Calls it quits at 12:03 AM…* *Goes to sleep at 1:00 AM…* *Gets up at 6:29
AM to finish this…*
