Review #2,031: Promo Only "Dance Radio December 2022"

Reviewed on 11.10.2022 (Review #2,031)
 
 

Got to get up a lil’ b4 my full-tyme, which I’ll be goin’ in fa my 11^th night in a row, without a night off! Talk about consistency! Couldn’t let this one slide past my schedule, tho! Promo Only Dance Radio December 2022, tha review! I got to peep out tha tracklist, this morning & it looks promising, to say tha least. How will everythang turn out? Lemme find out…! Start Tyme: 6:36 PM | End Tyme: 8:14 PM
 
 
Disclaimer: I type how I wanna type (frequent use of “tha” instead of “the,” “iz” instead of “is,” “a”-ending words instead of “er,” and a few others). I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! As long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it, I like it how I wanna 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. Sometymes, I may not rate a song too high on its first listen, but in tha future, I could be playin’ it more than a higher-rated song…
 
© 2022 Review (Review #2,031) reviewed on 11.10.2022 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
 
 
01. Tiësto feat. Tate McRae “10:35”
Label: Atlantic
An exact year after I reviewed “The Motto”; here we are… Got a taste of it while listenin’ to The Chainsmokers’ #Electro15, recently… I’ono, seemed a lil’ dry, at first? Even my mom thought tha same but here it comes, reviewed… >>> A lil’ dry with tha Tiësto music, despite Tate soundin’ good on tha track. Tha chorus ain’t too bad, includin’ a tyme as tha title; seems just like an okay track, overall. Nothin’ much else to say about this track, except for tha fact that its way of succeedin’ iz by growin’ on people, basically. It has to do that, tho… My Rating: 3.6
 
 
02. Regard x Drop G “No Love For You”
Label: Epic
Anotha one I heard, just recently, as it’s been gettin’ out there… Funny that it appears on here right after tha 1^st Tate McRae appearance, on here… As far as this track… >>> This one just seems like an okay track that could sound better, too. A lil’ catchy with tha “do-do-do, da-da-da-da-da,” on tha chorus, but for tha most part, I thought there’d be more synthtastic Regard sounds… Could be anotha one with tha potential to grow; I think it’ll grow faster than “10:35”… Let’s see how this one tries to wrap up 2K22… How will tha people “do-do-do, da-da-da-da-da” their way to this song’s future success? My Rating: 3.9
 
 
03. TELYKast with Francis Karel “Better Now”
Label: TELYKast/DistroKid
A 3^rd song gettin’ out there in tha world, as we speak… I thought this one was decent, too, but lemme rehear… >>> Sounds okay with this male, includin’ tha okay music. Kinda startin’ to like tha music betta in tha drop, as tha energy increases… Good goin’, TELYKasters! Tha 2^nd verse sounds a lil’ more upbeat than tha beginning, so that’s a plus… We’ll see how tha world of 2022-turnin’-2023 goes fa this one. For now, it’s anotha track with tha potential to grow, for me. My Rating: 3.8
 
 
04. Elton John & Britney Spears “Hold Me Closer (Purple Disco Machine Radio)”
Label: Mercury/Interscope
Anotha one—remix, that iz—that got out there, recently. However, this one can go take a hike. Nothin’ much ta say about tha PDM music but hearin’ almost all tha Britney made me cringe… My Current Rating: 1.3
 
 
05. Joel Corry & Tom Grennan “Lionheart (Fearless)”
Label: Big Beat/Atlantic
This one has been appearin’ on my outlets, too, as of recent tymes… Don’t think I gave it my full attention, yet… >>> A decent chorus but I’m likin’ that upbeat drop…! Better vocals from Mr. TG on this than tha Calvin Harris track & his own, from last year. I think this one deserves to do tha best outta tha five tracks on here, so far? My Rating: 4.1
 
 
06. David Guetta & MORTEN feat. RAYE “You Can’t Change Me”
Label: Future Rave
Looks like a completely-new track, head-on…! Definitely lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this one…! >>> Oh, I’m definitely likin’ this beginning, between DG & MORTEN collaboratin’ with RAYE, once again! Definitely a huge start & surprised to know that it’s a Guetta world, literally! At one point in tyme, it’s like tha world hated tha Guetta vibes of tha pop era. Now, it’s like, unstoppable…! Huge drop, too! Anotha nice verse from RAYE, too! Gotta luv tha huge vibes on this track, includin’ tha vocals! Likin’ this one betta than their previous collab from two years ago, “Make It To Heaven”. My Rating: 4.9
 
 
07. Sunday Scaries & PiCKUPLiNES “Chill Like That”
Label: Astralwerks/Capitol
Not too sure what to expect, here… Looks “like” it’s gonna be a cool-soundin’ song vs. a feel-good track? >>> Oh boy, this sounds like some sorta vibe I would appreciate, in a cool way. It’s like a combo of good house beats & some urban-like vocals. Will it get tha proper Astralwerks/Capitol-type of exposure to tha world? How will tha world try to appreciate this one? Shout out to tha catchiness…! Felt like I mighta heard this in a mixshow or somethin’, recently, but completely new to a full listen, here… My Rating: 4.2
 
 
08. Morgin Madison feat. Linney “Time”
Label: mau5trap
Definitely feelin’ this one, in a big way…! Gotta luv how “Time” be movin’ real fast for me, atm, so I can really appreciate this track! Awesome music from MM & awesome appearance/vocals from my girl, Linney…! I already got to experience some dark nights with this one & experiencin’ its dark vibe! Definitely lovin’ tha way you can get lost in “Time” with this one! Hope these two continue to keep up their collaborations, efforts & experiences in tha world! My Current Rating: 4.8
 
 
09. Öwnboss & FAST BOY “Left & Right”
Label: Musical Freedom
Been seein’ this one get out there & it has its mix of good vocal parts & energy. However, that ‘clunky’-soundin’ drop that Öwnboss & SEVEK were known for, earlier this year, kinda sounds clunkier, as each track of theirs progresses. I can see this bein’ slightly catchy but will it be one of those songs that get out there to where people get sick of it, lol? My Current Rating: 3.7
 
 
10. Tate McRae “Uh Oh (FRNKROK Remix – Radio)”
Label: RCA
Tate’s 2^nd appearance, as she started & ended tha 1^st ½ off, as tha ½tyme iz next! I believe that’s a first that an artist started a ½tyme & ended one, in tha same edition! Good goin’, Tate! As far as this remix, I saw it get out there but have to hear what it has to offer… >>> See, now this sounds betta, musically, than “10:35”! Vocals ain’t that bad, here & tha chorus ain’t too bad, as it crept up outta nowhere. That swift “Uh Oh”…! Tha rest of this just sounds like a good-soundin’ remix I’d appreciate in tha 2000’s. Definitely nice ta hear this type of upbeat energy in today’s world, especially with that anthemic sound at 2:57! My Rating: 4.0
 
 
½tyme: For a decent start & a growin’ 2^nd ¼ of tha 1^st ½, I’d say that this edition gon have its growth comin’! A 3.8-rated edition, currently, but bound to get better! That’s why, it’s 7:22 PM, where I only have less than three hours till I leave to go to my full-tyme…! With that bein’ said, I gon continue to proceed…!
 
 
11. HALIENE “Reach Across The Sky (DVRKCLOUD Remix)”
Label: Black Hole
Just saw this one on BPM, within tha last day or so… Now, it enters tha review lair… >>> A slow start that takes a while to develop its energy… There’s tymes I like what HALIENE brings but with tha music, it doesn’t seem to work out my way. This one has nice sounds of trance but I can’t feel tha 128 BPM. Most of tha beats play at a slow pace of ½ that tyme, which makes it sound like a tease to my ears. Too slow for me to really appreciate; just seems like an okay track with awesome trance sounds, tho. My Rating: 3.2
 
 
12. Tujamo “Better Safe Than Sorry”
Label: Spinnin’
What will he bring to tha table, this tyme…? >>> Sounds like a strong beginning with these mysterious vocals, female style…! Definitely feelin’ tha energy bein’ brought to tha table, here! So glad it made its way to this edition…! Oh, definitely feelin’ tha upbeat music, as well as tha drop! Talk about major thumbs ups, Tujamo! Hope this one gets good exposure! Deserves to & I hope for tha female, too…! My Rating: 4.7
 
 
13. Fred again.. “Clara (the night is dark)”
Label: Atlantic
A longer track with Fa.., this tyme… Got to see this one get out there but I don’t think it sparked any interest in me. *Rehears* >>> Just seems like a random house track, with some slower Fa.. vibes to appreciate, for tha house headz… I like when tha vocals stop around 1:19 – 1:27 & that catchy music/drop plays… Tha rest of tha house vibes sound good to progress with… I guess this sounds like one of those grower-type tracks I mentioned, earlier; definitely interestin’, tho. My Rating: 4.2
 
 
14. JVKE “Golden Hour (ILLENIUM & Nurko Remix)”
Label: In2une/AWAL
Looks like a pop artist or somethin’? Then again, err-body be spellin’ they names all cookoo, these dayz… My stage name, FrankieThaLuckyDog, actually turned 20, this past Friday! November 4, 2002, I came up with it. Now, here we are with this track/remix… >>> Sounds like I really wanna appreciate these vocals, for tha chorus… I’m really likin’ tha lil’ build-up after tha chorus, too! I’m so glad I feel like music iz on its way of gettin’ betta & betta, as my post-slapped tymes progress…! Definitely feelin’ tha huge drop, includin’ how anthem this JVKE sounds…!! Tha rest of this iz anthemic, anthemic, anthemic! Definitely feelin’ it in a major way!! My Rating: 4.8
 
 
15. Tobtok & Adam Griffin “Overnight”
Label: Robbins
Could this be a great-soundin’ male-vocal track…? >>> A surprise female on tha vocals, here…! Ooh, likin’ tha pre-chorus, here; definitely a nice-soundin’ chick on tha vocals…! Hearin’ tha chorus & it’s pretty nice; definitely feelin’ tha strength of tha music & vocal combination…! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice with gettin’ buzzed in a good zone but yeah, it’s all about gettin’ “insecure,” most definitely. Nice lil’ music part after tha 2^nd chorus, too, includin’ tha bridge part! Definitely a major plus with me, too!! My Rating: 4.7
 
 
16. Martial Simon “Red Flags”
Label: Get Set
Neva heard of tha artist, tha track, nor tha label… I’ono what to say but that title could jinx itself…? I really don’t know… >>> Sounds like a green flag to me, here, with tha female vocals & good-soundin’ music. Tha pre-chorus sounds pretty nice, here… Sounds like a cool lil’ chorus but… I hate to think this but… iz she claimin’ blood, with tha “Red Flags”, lol? Just sayin’… Rating-wise, yes, it’s a red color, lol! Definitely diggin’ tha catchy flow on tha chorus with tha multiple, repeated notes! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
17. Dennis Sheperd x York x Iris “The Fall”
Label: Black Hole
Looks like an anticipatin’ collaboration, here…! Hope this iz as strong as York’s “Golden Hour” of last year…! >>> Sounds like a cool lil’ beginning, here; definitely diggin’ tha female vocals & everything…! Oh, definitely luvin’ when it gets quieter, with tha music!! What a “Fall”! In a good way, tho! Then, a strong sound at 1:41! Luvin’ this mysterious-soundin’ vibe & for some reason, tha way Iris sings on tha track, durin’ tha verses, makes me believe she sampled her vocal style from somethin’ else? Sounds slightly familiar on tha delivery but it’s cool… Could it just be a tease? My Rating: 4.6
 
 
18. JES “Is It True”
Label: Magik
Got to hear this one on tha POOL player, recently… So glad that it made its way on here!! Luv how tha beginning starts off slow, includin’ her strong vocals & awesome lyrics…! Luv how tha music picks up at 1:27, showin’ off some true dance colors! Alwayz awesome to have JES active in tha scene! It inspires peeps like me to keep tha consistency up, no matter what may happen to us…! Also, luvin’ tha music build-up durin’ tha 2^nd verse, at 2:00, with tha violin strings! Nice lil’ bridge, too! Wish she would get tha proper exposure she deserves, in tha dance world! Until that may happen again, here goes my support…! My Current Rating: 4.6
 
 
19. Christina Aguilera “Beautiful (Benny Benassi Remix)”
Label: Legacy/RCA
I’ono… Here come tha remixes to “Beautiful”, like tha ball dropped to welcome in tha new year of 2003… Like, even 134 BPM, too, like durin’ those tymes? How does sense even connect, in 2022? >>> Cringy start but it’s all about that music at 1:16! So awesome to hear music like that… Maybe, a vocalless version’ll be made, one day? So random of an appearance; I only like tha music. Hope that music’ll be used for a brand-new track, one day…! My Rating: 2.0
 
 
20. M-22 & Ella Henderson “Heartstrings (VIP Remix)”
Label: Casablanca/Republic
Awesome to see this one appear, again! >>> Not too much of a change in tha beginning music but I hear more beats throughout tha 1^st verse… Kinda sounds like ‘90s kicks or somethin’? Sounds cool but I’ono, I think I feel tha original more for a feel-good vibe… Still, it’s alwayz great to extra-promote a great song like this that needs it, courtesy of a bonus remix. I’m likin’ that M-22 & this VIP Remix kept those cool sounds at 2:01, b4 tha 2^nd verse ended! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
21. Southstar “Miss You”
Label: Arista
Looks awesome to see this fast-type of song to end tha year off, right? Well, not 100.00% all tha way there. Got to hear Robin Schulz combine with Oliver Tree, this past summer. Yeah, tha summer of me coping, so it didn’t bring out too much of me, throughout tha summer. Now, with this new version… *Rehears* >>> Even tha beginning sounds tha same; tha vocals are slightly different from tha OT & RS one. Still, these fast beats are definitely worth tha exposure, no matter what tyme it may be! I just think this’ll surpass tha OT & RS one, if it’s lucky enough. These tymes are betta but we’ll see if that really adds up, in tha end. For now, definitely nice to rehear these fast beats! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
Overall: Luved how it got more & more awesome, as tha edition went on! Definitely nice to hear this edition & how it has much more growin’ to offer, too! Awesome selection of songs to transition ourselves into 2K23!
