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!

Jessie J- Excuse My Rude Review

            

Over the past week British singer Jessie J unveiled the fourth song from her upcoming second album. Check out a review and download links down below.

Over the past few weeks Jessie J has unveiled three other songs from the upcoming album including Wild, which while it was ok, didn't really wow me, It's My Party, the bubblegum pop song that just didn't feel like Jessie J at all and really underwhelmed me, Magnetic, the power ballad which restored my faith in Jessie J after the mess that was It's My Party, and now the new upbeat urban pop track Excuse My Rude. Excuse my rude is reminiscent of Do it like a Dude and Wild  as the beat is fierce and flows well with Jessie's on point, fierce, hard vocals. Another great up to this song is that it features Jessie's quick, almost rap like vocals, along with her softer, more soulful vocals. giving the song a lot of variety.

Jessie is absolutely flawless on this track, however, there is one annoying little detail to this song, Becky G. She has absolutely no reason to be in the song, and adds nothing to it.  Her bland rap honestly comes close to killing the song for me. Honestly, Jessie J could have done her verse for her (not to mention make it 10x better) and actually made it worth being in the song.

Overall, this song is a total improvement over (most) of the other songs being released off her sophomore album, and I hope her label will scrap It's My Party and instead go for Excuse my rude.
