Cash Cash feat. Wrabel “Mean It”
Label: Big Beat/Atlantic
Label: Big Beat/Atlantic
Made
a left turn on my thinkin’, due to I ain’t thank a 102-paced track would lead
tha way…! We must be on to an interestin’ theme…? Nice way to trick my smart
mind…! When I mentioned all tha March CDs, lil’ did my brain know, “Just pick
’16 & realize who was #01 on that edition! Not to mention, it was live!,”
lol! As far as this, it’s cool; I dig it. A lil’ on an okay start, then a
dead-soundin’ start to a chorus… Either way, a good build-up to vocals… After a
while—disectin’ & sayin’, 1:14 in, tha drop be hittin’ pretty nice, at
times. Didn’t think I’d have tha right anticipation for Wrab, tho this slower
combination works out nice, in its own wayz… My Current Rating: 4.2
02.
Duke Dumont “Therapy”
Label:
Astralwerks/Capitol
Definitely
a nice appearance, especially after Music Choice Dance & their obtaining of
this…! Gotta luv its lil’ throwback vibes, as well as this—I’mma just picture
somethin’…—Shape: UKish vibe or somethin’, on tha vocals; nice combo! Pure
addictiveness; somethin’ big fa tha 2K2-0? My
Current Rating: 4.7
03.
Nause, Rebecca & Fiona “Can’t Erase”
Label:
Spinnin’
Got
a quick sample, not too long ago… Sounded like somethin’ that needed a bit more
exposure? Time for its full listen…! >>> A decent lil’ collab; a nice
lil’ dark-soundin’ with tha verses, mixin’ well… Tha drop & chorus pretty
nice, as well as tha pre-chorus…! I think, with tha times bein’ better, I can
give this more props than b4… Nice way to follow up Nause’s Daniel
Gidlund-featured “Perfect Crime”, from last year…! My Rating: 4.4
04.
Tritonal, HALIENE & SCHALA & Jorza “Long Way Home”
Label:
Enhanced
A
weird-mix of “&” vs. “x”s, here, with a huge amount of anticipation comin’
from ya boy…? >>> I feel real
special about tha beginning soundin’, as well as HALI on tha vocals/err-body in
tha mix! Sounds great with tha vocals & vibe; definitely nice!! Drop
definitely dope—“D”s!! Tha hopin’ of tha beat at 1:40ish, durin’ tha drop;
definitely a wave jump!! Really feelin’ tha vibe; this vibe knows its time to
come out! That’s why, durin’ tha non-shmoked-out dayz of last year, there
wasn’t much of this vibe & it felt it from my vibe…! I’ll be
super-generous, here, since there has to be some sorta stamp on these upcoming
times…! My Rating: 5.0
05.
Love Regenerator & Calvin Harris “CP-1”
Label:
Columbia
As
some outlets got tha other song, “Hypnagogic (I Can’t Wait)”, here comes this
other track from their EP (well, “their” = just an alias, wink, wink). Hearin’
tha other track, it may’ve sounded too fast fa tha norm ta handle? Like, tha
fastness I like that’s underrated? >>> I have to say, this sounds
pretty nice for a regular-paced, not-as-fast-as-tha-other’s pace track…! Definitely
likin’ its undaground vibe, as well as tha way Mr. Harris ain’t sellin’ all out
wit this one/tha other one, too/this alias… (that’s a lotta slashes, lol)! Who
knows…? Even that voice could be Calvintized by morphin’ your voice! I know how
dat be… My Rating: 4.8
06.
Kygo with Avicii & Sandro Cavazza “Forever Yours (Avicii Tribute)”
Label:
Island
Seems
so sad & messed up to know just a few hours ago, what thought came to my
mind iz how it’s fucked up that people would constantly ask me, “Any suicidal
thoughts?” Of course…, not! I said out loud, “Why couldn’t Avicii get that
warning, like I constantly kept getting?” Findin’ strength throughout therapy
iz your “best bee” (e.g., spelling “bee;” this a different “bee,” lol)! With
that bein’ said, here he iz…! Let’s hear what will come outta this…
>>> K.A.S.C.! “KASC!” Kygo,
Avicii, Sandro Cavazza;
future long-lasting wave? Sounds good; you feel it in a special way, especially
comin’ from those Avicii times… That’s a goal: Live like those good times, only
bigger! That’s tha goal I am for & it gon happen…! Like how all tha vibes
of tha K.A.S.C. Click (lol)
combination, here; definitely great! Felt that vibe with Kyg & Sand’s “Happy
Now”; definitely nice, here! Already, we have a Part 2, followin’ tha “Happy”
one! That’s how you know tha K.A.S.C. Click iz here ta stay, lol! My Rating: 4.4
07.
Sam Feldt & Sigma feat. Gia Koka “2 Hearts”
Label: Spinnin’/Arista
Label: Spinnin’/Arista
Anotha
nicely-put collab that’s not bad; more on a decent pop side, sometimes, with
how tha drop hits… Either way, good vibes followin’ Gia & her 2nd-ranked
“Ride” collab wit M-Mars, last year…! Feelin’ how she comes through wit her
vocal vibe/dance vibe, as well as tha verses… Hear more of her deeper voice on
tha last chorus…; tha “Ride” vibe…! My
Current Rating: 4.2
08.
MOTi x Rebecca & Fiona “Down For It”
Label:
Robbins
R&F
makin’ a double comeback, courtesy of tha 1st initial & tha
other initial, back one letter (“Robbins
Entertainment); meant ta be?!
Let’s see! Let that rhymed question-and-answer sit in ya brain…! >>> I
think I gon like this one betta; I’m really feelin’ this slower vibe with them,
as well as this slow MOTi vibe…! Tha chorus sounds pretty hot, in all wayz;
good shit! My Rating: 4.6
09.
Anabel Englund “So Hot (MK x Nightlapse Remix)”
Label:
Ultra
Speakin’
of “lund” from earlier (Nause), here comes
anotha “lund!”
Guess that’s how they do it up in da “Englund,” lol? I figure this’ll be good
deep-house… >>> Instantly startin’, feelin’ like I’m in tha mix, outta
nowhere! Definitely feelin’ her sound a lot more on this than b4…! Heard her
twice, as of 2013 & this tha best, definitely…! Definitely a dope combo
between her & tha remixin’ goin’ on; pure vibes!! Long consistency at its
finest!! My Rating: 4.9
10.
Joel Corry feat. HARLEE “Lonely”
Label:
Big Beat/EMG
Funny when a HALIENE appears, a HARLEE appears in tha same review setting, lol! Meaning, that HARLEE iz a hidden vocalist! Wink, wink! As far as this bein’ a follow-up to tha big/semi-growin’ “Sorry”, here’s tha “Lonely”, where I feel that way. However, adjustin’ to tha outside world again feels like earned success! It’s so bright out there; I gotta clear tha dark past…! I like this vibe betta than tha “Sorry” track & have caught on to his remixes, since tha “Sorry” release… I think this a great vocal combo; he needa get out his shell & show public luv to tha vocalists! You can do it; you have “Corry” in your name, Joel! That’s success in a name, right there! With that bein’ said, great job, especially tha “l-l-l-l-lonely” loneliness…; how ‘bout dat?! My Current Rating: 4.3

½time: Unbelievable to know
that, thanx to a faithful future, tha songs shared so much luv for tha future
that tha average CD rating’s at a 4.6!! Mega vibes; luvin’ all tha picks!! I knew
tha great vibe would be back, one day; just couldn’t picture when! I just had
tha faith, tho! I went through a hard time & now, I feel better to know
that I’m back! I know now to value my work to tha fullest! Not every1 has
reviewed 1,924 releases; not every1 has filmed, edited &/or acted in 495
commercials like me! I know ta have tha value, now…! I’m 100% real &
loving; always know dat! Speakin’ of “know dat” (“#KnoDat”), Happy 43rd
Birthday to my round, Fatt Albert, outta Baton
Rouge!

Kastra & Blue Ivy feat. RUNAGROUND “Around Me”
Label:
Enhanced
Oh,
this looks like it gon be tha shit! Hope this turns out ta be a great
trio-collab, as well! It’s all about doin’ it 3x BIG!!! >>> This
sounds pure, as well; definitely a nice way to see RUNAGROUND, again,
especially with tha consistent Kast!! Sounds like a big chorus & when tha
drop hits, as well! Definitely an excitin’ way ta hear Kast, after all my 1st
listens on all but his 1st single, were all non-shmoked-out, smh… Great
job, all y’all; definitely anotha powerful way ta bring on tha future…! My Rating: 4.7
12.
Braaten & Chrit Leaf “Do Baby Do”
Label:
Robbins
Robbins
wit anotha one, of course, soundin’ like one of tha biggest dance songs of tha
year? I like this more than their previous song, from three editions ago… This
definitely overrides it, I must say…! Feelin’ this female vibe; definitely
sexy… Too bad they’re hidden; “?” tha name, smh… Braat, don’t lose one of those
“A”z by not revealin’ tha vocalist, lol (“Brat”)! But, on tha real, this
definitely nice; luvin’ that warped-soundin’ sound in tha beginning &
throughout tha beat, at times…! Sounds like it gets sexier as it ends, too, as
“it never goes away!” Yes, tha sexiness neva
does…, when tha vocalist iz revealed, B&CL (and RE, too, lol)! My Current Rating: 4.4
13.
Robin Schulz feat. Alida “In Your Eyes”
Label:
Big Beat/EMG
Big Beat showin’ more wide-open luv ta EMG, with all these releases, lately…! >>> Sounds like a dope collab; definitely nice ta hear Alid, after tha simple-soundin’ “Waiting For Love” previous collab…! Definitely a powerful-soundin’ build-up/chorus vibe, here! Gotta luv how she comes through on this one! Schulz sounds good with tha slower-paced track, here, with this drop; definitely nice!! Great collab & vibe to make March a HUGE month! Even down to Schulz, too, with tha back-to-back Marches!! My Rating: 4.8

Tom Ferry & Lodato feat. PollyAnna “Own The Night”
Label:
Enhanced
Looks
like a sick trio, here…! Likin’ that we’re gettin’ faster, outta nowhere…!
Let’s go get it, y’all…!! >>> A decent lil’ vocal start from Ms. Anna,
here, but glad she’s here, overall… Sounds like an okay/cool lil’ chorus/drop
part; likin’ it more & more as it progresses…! Next chapter’s jealousy,
right now: tha “Vegas” part, ta kick off tha 2nd verse! I gon need
ta obtain a bigger budget, 1st—well, not too much more ‘cause
there’s an artist out there I wanna see…! We’ll see how this one does in tha
future; also, nice back-to-back Marches,
Mr. Ferry! My Rating: 4.6
15.
Black Caviar “Mr. Vain”
Label:
Black Caviar
Oh
boy…, a self-released COVER, here…!
Just ‘cause tha vibe’s 100% right, doesn’t mean I gon luv every one of ‘em!
Heard a quick sample & got turned off by tha dance vs. dance vibes of
remakin’ tha ‘90s, fa some reason… >>> Yeah, would’ve been cool if it
was a full-on new dance song, not a remake… I’ll say, at least tha drop/drop’s
chorus distorts tha remakin’ sound by ½… Yeah, overall, tha house remake fa tha
‘20s, here, ain’t great fa me… *Shakes head*
Self-released cover? My Rating: 2.0
16.
Yves V & Ilkay Sencan feat. Emie “Not So Bad”
Label: Spinnin’
Label: Spinnin’
I
think this’ll bring “that cool,” like his last single…! >>> Oh boy, a
tricky start with tha whole “Stan” / “Thank You” remake, in tha beginning…! Well,
this “Not So Bad,” like tha title; it’s not a dance vs. dance track; this
hasn’t been remade b4… Here’s its chance; sounds interestin’ fa a house vibe… My Rating: 4.0
17.
Steve Aoki, Ummet Ozcan & Dzeko “Popcorn”
Label:
Ultra
Back
up ta 128 on Track 17! Likin’ tha increase; let’s see what this trio has ta
offer…! >>> Pretty dope start; definitely feelin’ that vibe, to tha
fullest! Can’t believe we have a follow-up to tha SHAED feature, lol! This iz so dope, tho, with its instrumental
sound & “hands up!” Definitely pure-soundin’ classic shit…! Sounds like
such a surprise to come outta nowhere, like, frfr!! Could be competition with
tha Tritonal collab!! Definitely feelin’ tha 3x power fa tha 3rd month! Even a higher
synth at tha last drop’s part; definitely don’t get mo dope than that!! My Rating: 5.0
18.
Love Regenerator & Calvin Harris “Hypnagogic (I Can’t Wait)”
Label:
Columbia
Whataya
know? Anotha surprise, lol! Funny ‘cause just like tha March power, here comes
tha two Marches of ’17 & ’20 combinin’, as both had a 140 BPM-produced
track! Also, a double appearance from tha Regenerator, himself!! Just a
different, nice-and-fast vibe, comin’ str8 atcha! Like, it’s like, trippin’ off
a Fast Calvin! Think: “Fast Calvin;”
future name, as well, lol? Definitely feelin’ his trippy fastness, here…! My Current Rating: 4.5
19.
Krewella “Greenlights”
Label: Mixed Kids
Label: Mixed Kids
Feels
crazy to know that already followin’ up after their “Good On You” track that
I’m really feelin’, still…! Here they are, with tha other side of Krewella’s
style; pure trap heat…! A good lil’ set of verses & tha chorus gets you
looked at tha “Greenlights” to tha future…! Also, anotha set of Marches! Anotha set of
tha ’17 & ’20, too, thanx to tha Dave Audé Remix of “Team”, lol! I’m not
trippin’; these are real facts, ya
dig? My Current Rating: 4.1
20.
Connor Bvrns & Bonn “Anthem”
Label:
Astralwerks/Capitol
Endin’
wit anotha surprise? Bonn
on a slower track/different style? Should be somethin’ excitin’…! >>>
Sounds like a good slow vibe fa Mr. Bonn, so far… That damn hollow bottle, lol… Tha chorus sounds
pretty good; I’m likin’ how tha drop sounds, too… Sounds like a good lil’
futuristic “Anthem!” My Rating: 4.3
Overall: Yeah, this vibe definitely trumps anything of tha past year, since I had to give up my freedom!!
Most-definitely…!! So many exciting tracks, as if it was like tha good-ole
times that influenced me…! Can’t wait till they all get released & what I
will exclusively be playin’…! Definitely hypes me up fa tha super-bright future
ahead!!

Crazy
that outta tha 14 years I been reviewin’, not once do I think I had no 3.0’s
but instead, 2.0’s? A gap between 2.0 & 4.0, no less, exactly!
