The chorus sounds like a cheesy China-made dance song and it tries to redeem itself with the violin score. However, I think it’s focus on Europop + China-esque chorus has made it fail. Coupled with a loser called Snoop Dogg, and you have a recipe for disaster! DOWNLOAD Brighi ft Snoop...
Innate Forte – Bad Girls (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
It’s refreshing to hear a non-dance-laced track every now and then. While their verses lack bite, their chorus pulls all the right punches mostly helped by the head throbbing melody. Nothing memorable except the beat. DOWNLOAD Innate Forte – Bad Girls Mp3...
Bryan Michael Cox featuring State of Emergency – Angel (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
Wow, it’s been too long since a decent R&B ballad has ever been released as most music are caught up in the hype of hip hop mashed dance genres. Bryan Michael Cox’s always been behind the scenes, writing music for artists and his notable one is Mary J Blige’s “Be...
Gloria Estefan – Hotel Nacional (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
Gloria Estefan has jumped on the dance bandwagon too with this hoochie coochie of a dance track that is littered with good saxes and old-fashioned melody that will take you back in the early 30s. DOWNLOAD Gloria Estefan – Hotel Nacional Mp3...
Rihanna – You Da One (DJ Dark & Shidance Remix) Song Review
posted by Gallivanter
The original song sucks bigtime, this remix by DJ Dark and Shidance, who re-introduces life, similar to the beat that made “We Found Love” a big hit. I think Rihanna has a cracking new album but instead of trying to buck the trend, she should’ve embraced it with more...
Richard Dinsdale, Sam Obernik & Hook N Sling – Edge Of The Earth (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
I told myself that in 2012, I aim to review a lot more dance and electro tunes beginning with this one. I’ve always liked the house genre and it’s variances, anything that has a faster BPM is rubbish to me. This chorus’ scream is something else! DOWNLOAD Richard Dinsdale,...
1997 : Bryan Adams – When You Love Someone (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
This is arguably Bryan Adams’ most underrated track, and it’s a brilliant track for wedding days. The accompaniment of the musical instruments can take you on a cloud 9 ride, forgetting the world around you as you dance your way with your other half into a new life. One of my...

I caught a glimpse of the contestants of the Miss Tourism International 2011 in Sunway Pyramid a few weeks ago. I definitely have a height disadvantage! Humbug! I understand that the competition climaxes tonight on New Year’s Eve in Malaysia. With some time to spare before our annual...

Madonna featuring Justin Timberlake – Latte (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
I don’t know. Madonna sounds like she sings “Layla” in the chorus. Something just doesn’t gel for this tune to take the world by storm. Maybe she’s trying NOT to jump onto the dance hip hop bandwagon by creating her own bandwagon, a dated one I might add. Strictly...
Flo Rida featuring Sia – Wild Ones (Music Review)
posted by Gallivanter
The chorus ain’t a biggie. Sia sounds a little like Rihanna, in fact, I think Rihanna would’ve added more gloss to this dance track to compliment Flo Rida’s rapping. It’s an OK song, but not memorable enough to survive the cull a few months down the line when I do a...

I’m not a fan of Enrique and his OTT style of singing. However, he complements this sexy dance track with Dev. DOWNLOAD Dev ft Enrique Iglesias – Naked Mp3...
