Review #2,042: Promo Only "Dance Radio September 2023"

Reviewed on 8.03.2023 (Review #2,042)
 
 

Waddup? Just got off my 11^th night in a row at tha full-tyme & now, I got Promo Only Dance Radio September 2023 here! Just looked at tha tracklist & boy, does it look promising with tha fast-lookin’ songs! I dunno how many weekend nights I gon be workin’ this weekend, so I think I betta get this review outta tha way… Fuck goin’ ta sleep! It’s all about this review! Start Tyme: 9:12 AM | End Tyme: 11:09 AM
 
 
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…
 
© 2023 Review (Review #2,042) reviewed on 8.03.2023 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
 
 
01. David Guetta & MORTEN feat. Clementine Douglas “Something To Hold On To”
Label: Warner
Startin’ off with an exciting track that I added but didn’t really pay too-too much attention to it, as far as remembering its details. Now, with this review & this track kickin’ this edition off, it’s tyme ta hear me speak! *Rehears* Sounds like a good start with a chorus that slowly picks up with tha vocals… Definitely likin’ tha sounds & music after tha chorus, as tha build-up builds up for tha drop…! Definitely likin’ tha strength of tha drop & how tha chorus sounds at 1:20! Feelin’ that energy! Tha rest of this sounds nice, between tha quick 2^nd verse & how tha energy comes easily back! My Current Rating: 4.3
 
 
02. 3LAU “Happy / Sad”
Label: Blume
More of tha new music that’s slowly gettin’ out there, includin’ my POOL listens. This one a decent/good one for him goin’ with tha male-vocal route… Not bad with tha sound of tha drop, here. I can definitely feel tha title, between not knowin’ what you really turn out to be. All I know iz, in my 100.00% soul, I will alwayz be “happy,” with my qualities. I will sometymes feel “sad” when I don’t fit in, like an outcast. No matter tha age or value, I still have that autistically-outcasted vibe to tha typical world of today. Ehh, I’ll just keep bein’ me… As far as tha rest of this, it basically came & gone; keep ‘em comin’, 3LAU… My Current Rating: 3.9
 
 
03. Jain “Makeba (Ian Asher Remix Radio)”
Label: Arista
Been seein’ this one get out there, tho I ain’t know what to expect from it. Didn’t get to add it or approve it for adding, right away. Lemme give it a review… >>> Sounds like some catchy female vocals with these sound-effect ad-libs & non-American chick on tha vocals? A quickie of only 124 seconds, this quick call-out track has plenty of continuous, repetitive parts to last in today’s world… My Rating: 4.2
 
 
04. Joel Corry x Icona Pop x Rain Radio “Desire”
Label: Big Beat
This one, I got ta hear & it’s a mix between good energy & a decent vibe, altogether. Now, on to tha review, to see if I wanna add it or not. >>> Sounds like a good, strong vibe; I’ll give it its house props… Definitely nice, between tha three of them on tha track! Once again, tha repetitiveness becomes catchy for this year, basically… Like tha lil’ ending to transition to whatever’s next…! My Rating: 3.8
 
 
05. Loud Luxury & Two Friends feat. Bebe Rexha “If Only I”
Label: Armada
This one’s makin’ its territory in tha dance world. Now, to my full attention span? >>> Sounds like a potentially-euphoric track, tho I only thought it was okay, at first tease listens… Yeah, it seems like just a decent chorus, between tha music & how tha track sounds. It seems like I liked Bebe more on tha 1^st verse, with how everythang sounded, overall? Same with tha 2^nd verse; seems better, especially with tha pre-choruses. Sounds a lil’ betta with tha 2^nd chorus, tho anotha short track of only 142 seconds in length! My Rating: 3.9
 
 
06. it’s murph “123 Round Again”
Label: Major/Warner
I believe I waited for tha review to wanna add it? S/O to it’s murph for his three bangerz of 2023, so far (“Lost”, “Youthful Kids” & “Food For The Soul”). Now, we got tha 4^th installment! >>> Sounds like a cool lil’ house vibe, courtesy of plenty of murphtastic energy! Like how he makes this vocal sample repetitive, compared to tha previous repetitive tracks on here… Also, anotha quickie @ only 122 seconds in length! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
07. Alok & Ava Max “Car Keys (Ayla) (Tiësto Remix Radio Edit)”
Label: RCA
Likin’ how this track iz all “Ayla”’d out, courtesy of Alok bringin’ tha “Ayla” back fa 2023! I almost thought it was “Ayla (Part II)”, based off my anticipation. However, I was one part too ahead of tyme! With that bein’ said, this sounds really similar to tha original version? Nice ta hear how it made its ERROR’d way of entering this PO! I just said to myself, “My stoner’d-ass!,” especially after all my working of these 11 nights in a row! Of course, I’d point somethin’ like that out! *Hears tha Tiësto Remix Radio Edit* >>> Sounds like a nice lil’ house-like anthem with how Tiësto gives tha original a boost & flip. I like how he keeps tha “Ayla” sound & progresses it to tha next level! That’s how I feel fa this current age I’m at! With that bein’ said, Ava keeps tha house vibes goin’ with Mr. Ësto & Alok! Ava gives me those casino vibes & just wantin’ to travel, just like anybody in tha media world—such as myself—should! My Rating (Tiësto Remix Radio Edit): 4.3
 
 
08. Beachcrimes & Tia Tia “Do It Better”
Label: Spinnin’
First track on here that’s completely new-new to me; let’s hear what they got… >>> Sounds like a Sigala-type of vibe for tha start, here… Tha chorus sounds like a simple chorus, with this female on tha vocals… Sounds like tha drop progresses easily, with more of this year’s upbeat energy… Tha rest of this just seems like a simple, under-three-minutes track. My Rating: 3.7
 
 
09. Steve Angello & Wh0 “What You Need”
Label: Astralwerks/Capitol
One track that’s been out there that I let pass on by. Now, it’s here & tryin’ to make way for 2023! >>> Tha vibe reminds me of shit like “How Did You Know”’s music, from Kurtis Mantronik Presents Chamonix from two decades ago. Also, tha female doin’ tha vocals reminds me of Duane Harden with his ‘90s/Early 2000’s house vibes. Guess I should embrace somethin’ like this? Honestly, I think it’s just a decent track, in today’s world. I give them props for bringin’ back those house vibes of two decades ago & beyond, tho! Luv how they give it a 2023 energy boost…! My Rating: 4.3
 

10. Switch Disco feat. Ella Henderson & Robert Miles “REACT”
Label: Ultra
Cool to see this one get more exposure, finally? Props to an Ultra signing & an R.I.P. to Robert Miles, on tha trance sample of tha track…! Definitely luv how this makes an appearance on here, with those productively-insomniac’d vibes Ella brings to tha table, here! Definitely give Switch Disco a thumbs up fa his recreation of tha RM track! Reminds me of my trip to Mount Rushmore! Definitely tracks like these build tha path to success! S/O to Ella’s “body” for all tha REACTions, too! My Current Rating: 4.9
 
 
½tyme: Pretty awesome ta have “REACT” end tha 1^st ½, just in tyme for a ½tyme! Seems like a bunch of tracks are either above-average or pretty nice, imo… A 4.2-rated release, currently… Can’t wait ta dive in to tha next set of tracks! However, at 10:00 AM, I must eat; brb…! *Goes to eat…* *Returns at 10:22 AM* A good lil’ 2 ½ bowls of cereal. Now, back to tha review…!
 
 
11. Morgan Page & SMACK “Sweet Venom”
Label: Spinnin’
Wonder what these two’ll have in stock, today? >>> Sounds like a cool lil’ female on tha vocals, here, includin’ tha good music from Morgan. Goin’ a lil’ slower with tha pace but definitely nice to hear. “I feel you in my veins, like sweet venom.” Definitely a cool lil’ line & on tha catchy side, too… My Rating: 3.8
 
 
12. Eren AB & Lena Leon “FYI”
Label: Robbins
Here comes a new collab with Lena on tha vocals, here… Funny thing iz, just three dayz ago, I went to preview this track on tha POOL player & accidentally hit “download” b4 I even got a 1^st listen of it! Then, I listened & it wasn’t bad. Now, it’s here! How ‘bout those combos? *Rehears* Cool lil’ upbeat music, includin’ tha vibes of Lena, here. Glad Lena keeps tha collabz comin’ & this one iz definitely included! Sounds like I like it betta, courtesy of tha chorus & how tha upbeatness continues to upbeat its own self throughout tha 2^nd verse! Oh boy, iz she talkin’ ‘bout wantin’ some1’s “vice” information, toward tha end of tha chorus? I just go for tha vibes… My Current Rating: 4.2
 
 
13. MORTEN & Theresa Rex “All In”
Label: Thrive
Almost thought it was gon be on tha David Guetta & MORTEN level of energy. However, only 122 BPM? Must be on a different vibe, here…? >>> Sounds like a beginning that seems exciting! Didn’t expect this anticipation of energy for a slower pace? Tha drop & chorus seem to be okay for me; nothin’ much to say on their progression throughout tha track… Okay, a lil’ boost in tha drop’s music at 1:12 but “a lil’,” I said… Overall, a cool lil’ new track; we’ll see how it does in tha world… My Rating: 4.2
 
 
14. Don Diablo “Still Cutting Shapes”
Label: Spinnin’
As alwayz, a Diablo appearance. >>> An icky way of “Cutting Shapes”, imo… Neva liked tha Aaron Smith & Luvli track; now, it’s back fa 2023! Decent energy but this on tha throwaway side fa me, due to what it samples… Ick @ all those “dancin’” parts that are back-to-back! I like his lil’ musical skillz with tha sounds, at tymes… My Rating: 1.8
 
 
15. Wuki & Lee Foss feat. Cheryl Lynn “To Be Real”
Label: Thrive
Nice to see Wuki & Lee Foss on a collab together but this not tha one? *Rehears* Don’t really like tha original’s lil’ beginning part, in this track… Tha beats are nice; just wish they didn’t have vocals… Fa some reason, I feel like this can be some sorta guilty pleasure I could enjoy, due to tha 130 BPM beats. It’s like a tease between tha music but dodgin’ tha vocals. My Current Rating: 3.0
 
 
16. Kaleena Zanders “In Your Eyes”
Label: Helix
A track that got some exposure, not that long ago… I don’t really dig-dig her tracks in an exciting way, most of tha tyme. However, I’m diggin’ her new collab with Anabel Englund, currently (“Anything 4 U”). As far as this, well… *Rehears* Definitely feelin’ tha extra energy she finally has behind her… A lil’ repetitive with tha chorus & hard-pumpin’ dance music in tha back… I’ono but I give her props for her faster approach in tha dance world. Likin’ tha way tha ending music sounds, as well… My Current Rating: 3.7
 
 
17. D.O.D. “So Much In Love”
Label: Armada
Lol @ what I was sayin’ b4 I revealed what was next… “Looks like we’re goin’ faster…” Yup! Been seein’ this one out there, as well… *Rehears* Sounds good with these female vocals bein’ sampled or whateva’s goin’ on, here… Likin’ when tha music kicks in more, just to showcase tha good beats! Sounds like a cool lil’ track ta flip some sampled vocals. I feel like I would have to still get used to ‘em, tho… My Current Rating: 3.8
 
 
18. ILLENIUM with Said The Sky & Vera Blue “Other Side (Tep No Remix)”
Label: Warner
Luv how tha edition’s gettin’ faster & faster…! That’s how I luv tha music scene tha most & I’m glad there’s a lotta artists, DJs, etc. embracing tha faster vibes! Got ta hear this recently & it’s definitely nice… *Rehears* Definitely an awesome vibe with tha 134 BPM music, includin’ tha rebellious vibes of Vera Blue, here! Sounds like a good lil’ vibe & I should slowly grow to a better level with these vocals, overall. I definitely like tha “trenches” & “consequences”-rhymed parts; definitely nice…! My Current Rating: 4.4
 

19. Skrillex & Boys Noize “Fine Day Anthem”
Label: OWSLA/Boysnoize/Atlantic
I didn’t think this woulda appeared on here, due to its speed. However, here we are & this “Fine Day Anthem” iz here to stay/grow! Sure, we’ve heard tha “It’s A Fine Day” track by Miss Jane be remade a bunch of tymes. However, here’s tha fastest version I know & I like how Skrillex & Boys Noize flip tha track! Fast, fast, fast!! Nothin’ but continuous, fast beats, courtesy of a bunch of “It’s A Fine Day” vocal teases! My Current Rating: 4.7
 
 
20. Calvin Harris & Sam Smith “Desire”
Label: Columbia
Tha follow-up to tha incredible, experimental “Miracle”! Now, we have tha—what I call off my 1^st listen—male version of “Miracle”! *Rehears* “Miracle”: “When you hold me…” “Desire”: “I want you to hold me…” Deep, lol. Likin’ that it’s nice & trance-like fast, just like “Miracle”! Also, a cool/interesting music part to build up to tha drop! We’ll see how this one does in tha world; I think it sounds nice, tho Sam usually has to grow on me. Likin’ how tha 2^nd verse has a lot more of a trancey vibe than tha 1^st verse did; good goin’, Calvin…! Wanna get used to likin’ this one a lot more; let’s hope it’s a strong grower! A strong ending, too; likin’ that it fades like “Miracle”…! My Current Rating: 4.6
 
 
21. Nathan Dawe x Joel Corry x Ella Henderson “0800 HEAVEN”
Label: Helix/Warner
Endin’ with one of tha epic-premiered tracks b4 my birthday & tha Mount Rushmore visit! Also, anotha exciting appearance from Ella, as well as a 2^nd appearance from Joel, too! Sounds like a spooky title & content goin’ on but tha beats & music’s definitely on a special level!! You really don’t get it this trancey & fast, these dayz! Glad there’s tracks like these to really bring out tha best of tha world, in my eyez! Fa only one verse, it’s definitely a nice track, still. Alwayz appreciate tha Ella vocals & contributions! She’s what I want to be, at tymes, when it comes to a variety of collabz! Also, tha semi-spooky ending with tha “call me back…” call; definitely feelin’ tha “love”! My Current Rating: 4.8
 
 
Overall: Thought it was a nice edition… A lotta tracks I either just recently heard or have been out for a lil’ bit. Seems like a nice way ta progress & later end tha summer off… I have ta say, I’ve been doin’ pretty well fa my solo self! Not too many can appreciate tha energy I channel to become tha best I can be! With that bein’ said, I’m feelin’ how all tha fast tracks are makin’ their way through tha world! Definitely need lots of ‘em!!

Review #2,041: Promo Only "Dance Radio August 2023"

Reviewed on 7.11.2023 (Review #2,041)
 
 

Anotha month, anotha review! Been workin’ every single day, once again, just like last month… Just took a 3-hour, 15-minute nap to get up for my Promo Only Dance Radio August 2023 review! It’s now here, as of Friday…! I didn’t get to grab it till Sunday, which was tha end date of my latest playlist. So, I got to peep out some of tha tracks that were already released, as well as some betta versions, remixed. Can’t wait ta get to these tracks! We’ll see how err-body does, on this August 2023 edition…! Start Tyme: 2:10 PM | End Tyme: 3:34 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…
 
© 2023 Review (Review #2,041) reviewed on 7.11.2023 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
 
 
01. ACRAZE feat. Aviella “In A Dream”
Label: Thrive/Virgin
Didn’t get to hear, yet; only got to see hints of what it was… Our boy, A, must be back to flippin’ them throwback tracks, as tha original’s artist, Rockell, iz a Long Island, NYer, like myself! Awesome ta know I was born on a—technically, island…! >>> Definitely really feelin’ this beginning, as it’s off to a brand-new start! “In A Dream” or no “In A Dream”, it’s definitely on a dope level!! Definitely feelin’ this newly-updated version with this chick on tha vocals!! Definitely a mega-plus from this bein’ tha 1^st track since my Mount Rushmore trip, less than two weeks after tha last review! “I wanna celebrate success!” Seems like that’s what it’s about, all tha way round?! Hope this one gets to have an awesome run, in tha world—dance “world,” I’m guessin’? Give it up! S/O ACRAZE fa growin’! My Rating: 4.9
EDIT: Had ta do research on tha vocal, since I was so curious… Shout-out to Aviella!
 
 
02. JAUZ feat. Paige Williams “Lights Go Out”
Label: Bite This!
A track that’s startin’ to get its start in tha world… Sounds like a good track, with some bonus vibes from this female vocalist…! Likin’ that chorus & how tha build-up transitions with tha chorus… Nice music; S/O to its exposure, so far… My Current Rating: 4.1
 
 
03. Tiësto feat. Poppy Baskcomb “Drifting”
Label: Musical Freedom
Anotha one of those tracks out there, on a new level… Likin’ how Mr. Ësto speeds it up, a lil’, with this P-Baskcomb on tha vox…! Just like with “Lights Go Out”, this anotha good track that’s borderline of tha decent level fa me… My Current Rating: 3.9
 
 
04. deadmau5 & Kaskade feat. Haley “I Remember (John Summit Remix Radio)”
Label: mau5trap
Seems like a guilty pleasure, especially for this to appear pretty early in this review, imo… >>> Cool lil’ update from Mr. Summit, here… I’m always there to inspire & with me talkin’ to this chick nine years younger than me, I feel like I’m a good leader for her for inspiration, in many wayz. Like, I remember tha review I did of tha original version of this track, back on tha November 2008 edition. Those tymes’ll always be with me & will solidify me as some1 valuable! Some1 who appreciates life, in many wayz…! With that bein’ said, this a good update, still with Haley… My Rating: 3.8
 
 
05. FISHER & Aatig “Take It Off”
Label: Big Beat/Atlantic
One of those that’s already out there. However, I didn’t rush to get it to my latest playlist or not. Just wanted to wait for this review to see what’s up with this collab. I was tripped out by tha 1^st/previous Aatig track I heard, collabbin’ with Chris Lake on “In The Yuma”. Now that those winter (“Yuma”) tymes are beyond this current weather, here comes this…! >>> Lol @ that intro; gets you goin’… A nice house track to appreciate in tha hot weather… Beats are okay, I guess? Tha weather’s betta? Cool beats, durin’ random parts, even tho it’s just an okay track, overall. I’ll let it hop on in, tho—tha playlist, that iz. My Rating: 3.9
 
 
06. Jazzy “Giving Me”
Label: Astralwerks/Capitol
S/O to this new chick comin’ through, sparkin’ up tha “club” with this one…! Definitely feelin’ her debut approach with this dance-meets-R&B vibe, on tha vocals! Awesome lil’ house-y vibe in tha music, too, includin’ tha repetitive parts to feel zoned out to…! Shout-out to all tha females that have that UK vibe in their music, as well as from tha UK, too! Dublin in tha house with this one…! She sounds like she can be a 2020’s queen of tha dance-meets-pop world-with-these-dance-tracks world? My Current Rating: 4.3
 
 
07. TECH IT DEEP “Maria Maria (Diplo Radio Remix)”
Label: Arista
I’ono if I’ll feel this remake, which iz startin’ to make noise out there… >>> Yeah, a lil’ bleh… Like, that chorus, with tha cut-off vocals… Ick… I get it, Dip wants some John Summit vibes or somethin’…? Basically, one of those random-soundin’ songs fa his Revolution—Diplo’s Revolution, that iz. I’ll pass on this one; not special like “In A Dream”, for example! My Rating: 2.1
 
 
08. Showtek feat. Sonny Wilson “Feeling”
Label: Skink
From an icky “Maria Maria” to this, I think this gon be an awesome transition! I remember durin’ tha past, that was tha luck & I now have a “Feeling”…! >>> Showtek have been havin’ an awesome year fa 2023! Can’t believe this their sixth single to be released, durin’ this year!! Definitely huge & so iz this progressive house-type vibe! Awesome music, awesome beats & tha vox are cool, too! Wouldn’ta recognized Sonny, here, but definitely dope! Keep tha energy goin’, boyz!! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
09. SOFI TUKKER “Jacaré”
Label: Ultra
This one’s been out there… *Rehears* A lil’ betta with this current listen… Wasn’t too sure how to take this track, at first, but I’m definitely feelin’ tha variety of music parts! Definitely one for tha beach—every beach, basically! My Current Rating: 4.0
 
 
½tyme: Got to tha ½tyme fast, it seems like…? It’s all good ‘cause that’s where we’re at, ya heard me? A 3.9-rated release, currently, with more surprises to offer…?!
 
 
10. The Blessed Madonna & Gabriels feat. Jacob Lusk “Mercy”
Label: Major/Warner
I’ono what I gon think of this one… >>> Tha music seems a lil’ boring & dry, here… Tha male vocals are a lil’ ehh but sound more disco-y with tha “Merrrrcy” chorus; ick… Sounds a lil’ stranger with tha choir-like female on tha chorus! Yuck… What was with tha last 10 seconds? Odd that these ‘skits’ make it but tha quality of me likin’ their track, musically & vocally, ain’t there! My Rating: 2.2
 
 
11. KSHMR “Heartbeat”
Label: Spinnin’
A slower KSHMR track to offer… >>> Sounds like a hidden male vocalist on tha vox, here… Sounds like a dude we’ve heard somewhere before… This kinda reminds me of a MEDUZA-like track, with these vocals & this vibe… Cool lil’ KSHMR-like drop but I think it’s a lil’ slow & dry, at tymes… My Rating: 3.7
 
 
12. Kylie Minogue “Padam Padam”
Label: BMG
Alwayz somethin’ on a plus-like level when Kylie’s on tha scene…! *Rehears original version…* I like tha remixes that are out betta but this a cool lil’ comeback track for Kylie. Beats are kinda dry in tha chorus, makin’ it sound more like it’s an upbeat pop/dance-pop song than upbeat dance song. Gotta luv how she’s ageless but I alwayz miss when her sister, Dannii, was on tha scene. Can’t believe it’s been two decades since I first heard of her, too & I neva looked back! My Current Rating: 3.5
 
 
13. JES “Forever Young (Morgin Madison Remix)”
Label: Magik
Speakin’ of two decades, in less than five months, it’ll be a whole two decades since Long Island’s Party 105.3 added JES’ 1^st track, with Motorcycle, “As The Rush Comes”, to their playlist. Oh, what throwback tymes! It’s in my blood, at this point! Now, here comes JES & Morgin Madison with this one…! >>> Sounds like a nice start with instantly jumpin’ in to tha 1^st verse! Awesome vocals from JES, in a Morgin Madison perspective! Definitely feelin’ when tha beats get betta with tha music…! Definitely a nice chorus & tha drop’s definitely dope! Gotta luv tha Morgin Madison vibe & how he brings tha euphoria to tha 2020’s!! JES’ tracks usually don’t get tha proper exposure they deserve. This one deserves to break in with tha consistency & props Morgin Madison has been receivin’…! *Crosses fingers…* My Rating: 4.6
 
 
14. Viiq, Kiral & Todd Stucky “Touch Ground”
Label: Hysteria
A cool lil’ track that I first heard, courtesy of peepin’ through tha POOL player… Alwayz nice to hear Viiq on them dance tracks of tha 2020’s, as well! Nice collab to progress through these groundless tymes! My Current Rating: 4.0
 
 
15. Lawrent “When I’m With You”
Label: Seminal
Wonder what this be ‘bout… >>> Don’t know if I can appreciate these male vocals, yet… Kinda sounds like a cringy chorus, between tha “youuuuu…” & tha whistlin’. Likin’ how tha 2^nd verse sounds but I’ono if it’s strong enough for a decent rating, imo… Everything from tha bridge on iz a total waste of space, as well. My Rating: 2.9
 
 
16. Kesha “Only Love Can Save Us Now”
Label: Kemosabe/RCA
That odd moment where an original Kesha version makes tha Dance Radio editions, these dayz… *Rehears original version…* I don’t think it’s 100.00% on a dance vibe. Not really feelin’ tha trap-like bass throughout tha verses & tha whole vocal vibe in tha chorus. Tha chorus’ beats just sound like a build-up; that’s it but it’s an attempt for some excitement. I do like tha KC Lights Remix, as well; this original version gotta go, tho. That ending kinda cringy with tha crazier-soundin’ ad-libs on tha “eat your breakfast” part… My Current Rating: 2.0
 
 
17. Jorja Smith “Little Things x Gypsy Woman (L Beats Mashup)”
Label: FAMM
Wonder what this mashup’ll be like… >>> Can be a love/hate relationship with these vocals… Not too sure if this sounds a lil’ annoying or it’s a decent mashup to appreciate. I’ono… A lil’ short? My Rating: 3.6
 
 
18. Martin Jensen “Harry Styles”
Label: Robbins
A new Robbins track but, imo, an awful title of a track? Does it really have to be him? >>> Decent, with some odd-soundin’ male vocals for me, here… Hearin’ tha chorus & it sounds like tha Martin vibe we’ve alwayz been used to. Don’t know how much I can appreciate this slow, male-vocal vibe, tho… My Rating: 2.4
 
 
19. Sam Smith & Madonna “Vulgar (Marlon Hoffstadt Remix)”
Label: Capitol
Oh… no? How will this end this edition off? >>> Holy fastness!! Luv tha 30-second intro but wtf @ Sam’s vocals! Also, Madonna with her background vox, at tymes… Lmao @ Madonna’s appearance!! Like, speakin’ of two decades ago, once again, it sounds like her rappin’ of “American Life”! Only, honestly, her rhymes on that track were way betta than this! This iz just randomness that people gon hate but this fast vibe iz on a dope level. Too bad it’s so awkward with those vocals…! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
Overall: I enjoyed this edition, tho there were a quantity of bumps in tha road with some of tha dance music comin’ out… A few exciting tracks, as well as some interestin’ ones. Just a bunch of vibes or original versions that didn’t fit well, in my tastes, but it doesn’t stop me from believin’ in betta tymes ahead!
