Rita Ora And Chris Brown

Body On Me -Rita Ora and Chris Brown – Rita seemed to have the promise of a little more than a cookie cutter EDM gal singing faux-soul disco over beats, whereas Chris Brown was always one of the crowd. Together they took a relatively smart beat and did nothing much with it. Works on the dancefloor, no doubt – C

Let It All Go – Birdy And Rhodes – Four years after Birdy’s cover of “Skinny Love”, she returns to the search for the follow up, and this overblown folk pop shouldn’t do it – C+

Stayin Out All Night ( Boys Of Zummer Remix) – Wiz Khalifa and Fall Out Boys – This is terrible, overwrought rock pop for the hard of thinking, the rap just makes it worse and i mean WORSE. Wiz gives weed a bad name   – D

100 Grandkids – Mac Miller – Four years after this guy broke through, the indie rapper gives being white a bad name – C-

Again – Fetty Wap – I know, I said this last time but come on, this fucking sucks – C-

Love Myself – Hailee Steinfeld – Sure, I loved her in Pitch Perfect 2 as well, who didn’t. She was the best thing about the crappy movie, I mean seriously she was and I hope the make her the star of the next one. What else is new? Hailee’s EDM self-helper stinks, that’s what else is new – C-

Better Days – Robert Delong – This guy is the real deal, he always has more on the ball and especially when you’ve spent the past hour listening to new releases: this electronica popper is excellent, lotsa sounds popping in and out of the mix and the melody strong enough for you to aware of the bridge is the best thing about it -very strong song – A-

Back Together – Robin Thicke – Featuring Nicki Minaj and Robin is soulful enough a singer not to entirely suck whatever he might do, but this will stiff because people hate him – C+
