Music Single Review: "Discoteca" By IAmChino and Pitbull 5 Boomboxes "The track is bold and fun-loving, and the intermingling of Spanish and English adds for an entertaining aural experience. "           Single from album Discoteca Released: December 30, 2021 Length: 4:33 Genre: Dance Electronic Spanish Hip-house Written by: IAmChino and Pitbull Produced by: IAmChino and Pitbull      "Discoteca" by IAmChino and Pitbull starts off right. "If you came to dance..." "Discoteca" is a dance track. It does not waste time exciting the audience. In the first forty seconds, I was dancing and bopping my head. The track is bold and fun-loving, and the intermingling of Spanish and English adds for an entertaining aural experience. The producer forged a clear track: the vocals are mixed well with the instrumental. I feel and hear every beat. The kick drum is kicking; Hip-house is all about the kick drum. "Discoteca" is for a large c...

Music Single Review: "Ugly" By Josie Dunne 5 Boomboxes "The track bumps and has a nice ride that you will hate when it ends."        Single from album Episode 7: Some time(s)   Released: December 31, 2021 Length: 1:58 Genre: Pop, Folk Written by: Josie Dunne Produced by:   Josie Dunne                 The way "Ugly" by Josie Dunne starts, I expect country music. But oh! I am wrong. "Ugly" is a pop track with a tinge of folk music. However, I like the misled, as it leads to bold vocals by  Josie Dunne . The track bumps and has a nice ride that you will hate when it ends. My head and body continue to move after the song finishes. Although the hook holds the " Ugly," it's a good and entertaining hook. The track is not too long or too short, giving it this punk feel. "Ugly" is so cool; I played it five times. I like the mingling of genres. The vocals and the engineering is impeccable. Great mastering jo...

Music Single Review: "Fire Up The Night" By Blake Shelton Ft. Hardy 4 Boomboxes " The whole production team created a track that could be played at a stadium and move the crowd without a problem."     Single from album Body Language (deluxe) Released: December 4, 2021 Length: 3:12 Genre: Country Written by: Hardy, Brian Kelley, Schmidt, Bart Butler Produced by: Scott Hendricks       What are the opening noises? Is it static? Why does the "Fire Up The Night" by Blake Shelton Ft. Hardy start with ambiguous noises? The noises are distracting and seemingly useless. However, "Fire Up The Night" rocks save for this rough start. The engineer's work on this track is clear and precise. The whole production team created a track that could be played at a stadium and move the crowd without a problem. The instrumentals do not overpower the vocals. There is an excellent equilibrium between the vocals and the instrumental. The drum kick is like hip...
