Jennifer Lopez ft. Pitbull- Booty Review



In the month of June, Jennifer Lopez's eighth studio album, A.K.A, was released to retailers worldwide. While most of the album is a mesh of urban and pop tracks that don't differentiate themselves from one another very well, one track that standouts from the others is entitled, Booty. Yeah. Anywho, as Pitbull assisted tracks are constantly becoming JLo singles, I figure that this is most likely the next single off the album, thus, check out a review of the track down below.


Booty starts out with a heavy, bass led instrumental track right off the bat, with a small intro from Pitbull. Following quickly after, we hop into Jlo's first verse. She fires through her verse line by line, sultrily singing over the heavy urban, drum assisted beat, before we hop right into the chorus, which, isn't Jlo or Pitbull, rather just a voice singing well. about da booty. The chorus is fun and easy to sing along with, as I find myself doing quite often.


Following another verse from our lead artist, we then quickly move to Pitbull's verse. His quick paced verse goes on for about 30-45 seconds and honestly, sounds pretty much the same as every Pitbull song. After that, the song is mainly instrumentals over-laced with Jlo every few seconds, before the track comes to a close.

While the song is fun, catchy, and definitely a club and radio staple alike, it really isn't a stretch for either artist, as is the case with most of A.K.A., which could be a contribution to the album's poor commercial impact. However, this track is definitely on repeat for me, and I see this becoming a radio hit very soon.

What do you think of this track, or all of A.K.A.? Post in the comments below, and I'll see you next time!

DOUBLE REVIEW- Miranda Lambert's Platinum & Lucy Hale's Road Between



Due to the recent releases of two country music star's albums, Platinum from Miranda Lambert and Road Between from Lucy Hale, I've decided to review the title tracks of both records in Megaton Reviews's second Double Review. Let's start off with Platinum.

Platinum is a bit of a more upbeat, almost Pop country song, with a singleable chorus. The guitar led instruments track works well with Lambert's fun, light vocals through out the song. The song may not exactly stay stuck in your head exactly, but I did find myself singing the chorus every once and awhile through out the day.



On to Hale's Road Between. This song is definitely pure country, and does a nice job of showing off the new artist's vocals. The vocals are definitely the standout of this track, however the instrumental track does flow nicely through the range Hale's vocals displayed in this track.

Overall, these were two great tracks, with my favorite leading towards Road Between. However, neither track quite represents the rest of their respective albums, with both tracks representing the other's more, as Road Between features more pop-country tracks, and vice versa, as Road Between features vocals similar to Platinum's mainly pure country vocals. However, both tracks are great individual title tracks, and I  definitely recommend any country fan to check out both albums in full, as both are two very cohesive, quality projects that are worth their price.



What did you think of both tracks? The full albums? Post in the comments below, and I'll see you in the next review!
