Reviews 5/25/11

Today, I was searching for some cool new tracks, when I discovered this pretty cool club track from Britain's leading MC, Calvin Harris.  It's called "Bounce", and it also features Kelis (yeah, the girl from "Milkshake").  It's a great track, with icy synths and a chill bassline, and should be really popular.  But of course, Brits never make it in the US nowadays except for one-hit wonders like La Roux (I still love you), Tinie Tempah, and Duffy.  So try to make it popular:  it's one of the best club tracks around today.  Show Calvin some love!

DreamsicleRemix

So DJ Dreamsicle made a pretty bad remix.  The original song is "Shut Up And Let Me Go" by the Ting Tings, one of our decade favorites here at Bulldog Beat.  Enjoy, or not!

Worst of the Day 5/2

"Hello", Martin Solveig and Dragonette

Well, on this pretty great day, there isn't actually that much bad to review.  In fact, it's been nearly impossible to find something that completely and utterly blows (except "Just Can't Get Enough", I refuse to write about that.  Leave it to JFresh95).  Anyway, the song I've chosen to bully today is Martin Solveig (French DJ) and Dragonette (Canadian electro-pop group) cutesy collaboration "Hello".  Dragonette frontwoman Martina Sabora coos "I could stick around and get along with you, hello./It doesn't really mean that I'm into you, hello." All perfectly fine. But, when you hear that she repeats the word "hello", seemingly at the end of every sentence, it can get pretty tiring pretty fast. Solveig's beats sound like a worse David Guetta, and all in all the project comes across as a bit of a bore. It isn't terrible; I'm sure a lot of you will like it. Songs like this could be a whole lot better. If you want something cool, try "Where Dem Girls At", a sweet banger with David Guetta, Nicki Minaj, and Flo Rida(!). (2 out of 5 stars)
