MK x Sonny Fodera feat. Raphaella “One Night”
Label:
Ultra
[18.]
>>> Had a feelin’ this was gonna be on here, after I wanted to
consider it from MCD. Now, auto-voodoo on tha vocalist’s name, as it’s my
stepmom’s name. Ain’t really have tha greatest relationship with her & her
family. You also know it’s bad when she even called my grandma a “cunt” on her
answer machine ‘cause she wasn’t followin’ my step-sister on Instagram, smh.
However, now that it’s in a dance vocalist’s name (different spelling), I think
it’s time that I appreciate it, now. Definitely feelin’ these two DJs combinin’
their beats, as well as Raph’s vocals…! My
Rating: 4.5
02.
Bonka feat. The Romantic Era “All Your Love (Kastra Remix)”
Label:
Robbins
[21.]
>>> Here comes tha final one on shuff-to-tha-le…! Looks like it’ll be
a good follow-up to tha sadly-sober-times “Focus” (great exposure; deserved
better moments). Even sounds like a special song to end thangz off, even tho I
prolly think tha slower songs would be at tha end. Likin’ these vocals, as well
as Kast on tha mix; nice follow-up…! My
Rating: 4.3
03.
Jonas Blue & RetroVision “All Night Long”
Label:
Astralwerks/Capitol
[06.]
>>> Str8 from MCD; they got it around when this CD got produced… Sounds
like a nice lil’ positive collab… Tha RetroVision drop sound of tha pausin’
kinda throws me off, sometimes but tha beats don’t stop, so that’s a plus. Nice
lil’ uncredited female vocals; hope they get revealed, one day. My Rating: 3.9
04.
The Him feat. Norma Jean Martine “In My Arms”
Label:
Spinnin’
[14.]
>>> Know this one from MCD; not too much luv to their last song, since
they never added it… This one sounds good, tho; like their female-vocal
approach… It’s like if their previous song, “Walk Alone”, had a sister; equally
nice! My Current Rating: 4.1
05.
KANDY “Let Me
Down”
Label:
Thrive
[03.]
>>> One of tha newer ones from Music Choice Dance & now, it’s
gettin’ more exposure… Slow, male-vocal start, here; sounds decent… Tha chorus
ain’t too bad & tha drop makes it sound a lil’ more excitin’… Liked tha
previous song of his & Madison Rose (“Keeping Secrets”) better but we’ll
see how this does, for a solo effort… My
Rating: 3.7
06.
Louis The Child & Drew Love “Free”
Label:
Interscope
[15.]
>>> Have a feelin’ it’ll be good, based off tha quiet piano intro;
let’s see how right I am… Likin’ these male vocals, so far… Sounds like a good
chorus; tha beats seem like a long tease, tho… Will they transition nice? Will
they pick up…? Damn, str8 to tha 2nd verse; thumbs down to tha
transition… Durin’ tha 2nd chorus, a lil’ bit of extra beats… Not
too much in tha music, at times, tho tha vocals made this more interesting than
somethin’ I wouldn’t like… My Rating: 3.4
07.
Charlie Puth “Mother (Fedde Le Grand Remix – Radio Edit)”
Label:
Atlantic
[12.]
>>> I’ono about him; I usually have low anticipation… Kinda bleh with
tha 1st verse & chorus but tha climax got me a lil’ excited…
Drop kinda cool, too; just not too exciting fa me… My Rating: 3.1
08.
Disco Fries & Mister AC feat. Rozee “Beat Of Your Heart”
Label:
Enhanced
[02.]
>>> Sounds like tha next dance song that finna do good… Sounds good
with these new female vocals, as well as these beats pickin’ up…! A lil’
surprise feelin’ with tha strength of tha drop; definitely feelin’ this one…!
Definitely feelin’ tha power; I feel tha strength for 2020; it’s on…!! My Rating: 4.8
09.
Halsey “Graveyard (Axwell Remix)”
Label:
Capitol
[20.]
>>> Oh yeah…! Another exclusive from tha POOL player! Compared to,
say, your regular pop song remixed, here comes Mr. Ax-to-tha-well with his
recreation of Halsey! Definitely feelin’ how he made this a dope house remix,
mainly off his beats. He kept only a lil’ bit of tha vocals, slowed ‘em down
& layed it down…! It’s kinda like what I did to my Polo G, NLE Choppa &
Kevin Gates remixes. I turned ‘em into somethin’ else & mainly focused on
beats… My Current Rating: 4.4
10.
CamelPhat & Jem Cooke “Rabbit Hole”
Label: Columbia
Label: Columbia
[16.]
>>> Glad they got a new one; can’t wait ta hear…! Sounds good with
Jem’s vocals; definitely sounds hot for a start… Likin’ how tha Camel music
picked up at :39; definitely nice! I can see why their last song, “Be Someone”,
kinda didn’t make much noise (not even a MCD add). Bein’ clean started durin’
that month of July & that’s where music/my life needed to be rescued, as
far as excitement goes… Pray that when I get off house arrest that I’m an
exception to “enjoyin’ music more,” if y’all know what I mean… I have
Asperger’s syndrome & a medical marijuana card, as well as lower back pain
& anxiety. I feel like I’m over-qualified & based off two inmates in
tha work release, they say that as long as you have tha card, you’re good (on
probation)… With that bein’ said, I look forward to this gettin’ out there; definitely
feelin’ it! Just luv that they have anotha collab & Jem’s vocals make this
sound like a new female I would hear for tha 1st time & think,
“Insanely-catchy track!!” My Rating: 4.6
½time:
[Shuffled ½time] From what’s on here, it
sounds great. For what I’m currently goin’ through, it sounds refreshin’ ta
always hear new music! It’s almost like my world stopped with everything tryna
stop my free life… If I took tha ratings I currently have, I would have a 4.0
for tha CD rating. However…
[Real ½time] Lots of excitement, here;
can’t wait fa 2020 but I want things my
way!! We got a 4.1
for tha CD rating, so far; let’s keep it up…!
11.
Dua Lipa “Don’t Start Now”
Label:
Warner
[08.]
>>> Another borderline-dance/pop track, here… A lil’ bit of a disco
vibe but I can tolerate her more than Sam… Funny that my shuffle had this come
on after Garrix’s remix… “Scared To Be Lonely”…! Didn’t think of gettin’ this,
right away, but now that it’s here, I’ll add it. Hope she keeps these upbeat
vibes comin’ with her tracks… My Rating:
3.8
12.
Vintage Culture & Fancy Inc “In The Dark”
Label:
Spinnin’
[09.]
>>> Looks like it’ll be good… Follow-up to their “Save Me” track that
seemed to get out there but not on PODR or on my playlist… Sounds good for a
male-vocal track, so far; let’s see if this gains strength… Likin’ this
“compass heart” chorus goin’ on, here… Wasn’t sure what to think of with that
alarm, pause-like sound goin’ on but it sounds nice with tha beats/vocals… My Rating: 4.2
13.
Sam Smith “I Feel Love”
Label:
Capitol
[04.]
>>> Oh shit, fa’real? Iz this what constantly plays on tha
commercials? Wouldn’t’ve put two & two together! I literally thought it was
some disco person like Sylvester or somethin’ but here’s Sam payin’ tribute to
Donna Summer. There’s a part of me that feels like this should stay where I
heard it from but at tha same time, a part of me likes it as a guilty pleasure.
Surprised he went this route. Not too sure about airplay from me; we’ll see… My Rating: 3.5
14.
GASHI feat. DJ Snake “Safety (Dark Heart Deeper Mix)”
Label:
RCA
[10.]
>>> Here come these two, again, with a new one… I think this one’s
okay; I like tha deep drop/chops…
Don’t really have much to say about this but it’s a good edition to this
edition… My Rating: 3.7
15.
Kesha “Raising Hell (Justin Caruso Remix)”
Label:
Kemosabe/RCA
[19.]
>>> This a good one but I think I have tha best mix, courtesy of tha
POOL player (Pink Panda). MCD has The Wild’s mix…; naw! This JC mix cool but I
don’t think it’s on PP’s level… Kesha may say, “You don’t need tha high,” tho I
do… She had a suicide struggle & even tho I may get depressed, I’m too
positive to have that struggle…! Outside of my full-time job, my productivity’s
so weak…! My passion’s weaker, too… Life’s different when you don’t have your
brother around; can’t live like a 24-year-old… I done evolved! My Rating: 3.8
16.
PRAANA “Asylum”
Label:
Spinnin’
[13.]
>>> A completely brand-new everything, here; lookin’ forward ta
hearin’ this… Sounds exciting with these female vocals & tha vibe goin’ on
in tha beat… Sounds like a hot chorus, here, though I swear these titles come
to haunt me…? I review old, Louisiana
rap CDs & I hear things about troubled life. Then, tha dance music and it’s
about tha “Asylum;” go figure, lol! Tha beat build-up to tha 2nd
verse sounds like some good anticipation to appreciate this track…! Even ended
with a “siren,” too! My Rating: 4.4
17.
Martin Garrix & Dean Lewis “Used To Love (Jimi Hyde Remix)”
Label:
RCA
[07.]
>>> Got a remix goin’ on, here… Hate when I try to check what recently
played on BPM (courtesy of Dogstar Radio) & it doesn’t show anything. They
prolly got this song but I won’t be able to tell… Thought tha drop would have
more energy than just a plain-soundin’ dance vibe but it ain’t too bad…; I’ll
give more props to tha original, tho… My
Rating: 4.0
18.
Sofi Tukker “Purple Hat”
Label:
Ultra
[01.]
>>> Oh boy, anotha new track
from them…! Sounds like a fun lil’ track, on a slower tip (their usual pace)
than last month’s “Like This”… That last song of theirs has me more entertained
than my 1st listen & I expect this to have its own growth, as
well. My Rating: 4.0
19.
EKALI & Illenium feat. Chloe Angelides “Hard To Say Goodbye”
Label:
Big Beat/EMG
[17.]
>>> This looks like a dope collab…! Sounds good with Chole’s vocals,
here. Wish mainstream gave her credit on her Seeb x R. City “Under Your Skin”
collab, as well as buku luv. That made my top 10 of 2017 outta all tha songs I
played, that year; underrated! As far as this, it’s catchy; not too sure how much
I can get addicted to these slow beats, tho. I mean, this iz good; I just don’t
luv it, as I only like it, so far… My Rating: 3.6
20.
R3hab & Zayn feat. Jungleboi “Flames”
Label:
CYB3RPVNK
[05.]
>>> Doesn’t sound like a dance track… *Checks ID* I’ono; lemme see how
it progresses… Funny how tha featured artist’s name sounds like one of them Baton Rouge rappers I
loved for a while (BluBlack… Da Jungle
Boy)! Feelin’ how tha drop sounds on this one; not sure if there’s enough
excitement throughout tha track to keep me alert, tho… This one went kinda
quick but I’ll rate it almost a 4… My
Rating: 3.9
21.
BONNIE X CLYDE “Curse”
Label:
Ultra
[11.]
>>> Glad they got another one; let’s see how this one sounds… Always
interestin’ with tha chick’s vocals & these slow beats to anticipate a
catchy track… Sounds like an intense-soundin’ drop; I feel tha “Curse” title,
tho! Last week, while I was at work release, four dayz in a row, whatever # I
was of tha person that’s been there tha longest, it kept matchin’ with how many
dayz I had left! Also, my transition to house arrest iz next Friday, which iz a
Friday tha 13th; trippy? My
Rating: 3.8
Overall: Looks like this edition
turned out to be pretty sweet… Glad I got to have some extra fun, durin’ a time
that doesn’t have much of that… Lookin’ forward to addin’ some of these soon;
2020, here we come…!
