Sabi Wants Everyone To Experience 'Cali Love'

Singer/Songwriter Sabi is still struggling to gain commercial success with every releases since collaborating with band, Cobra Starship. 'Wild Heart', her first single release for her never-released 'All I Want' album was too mundane to be a hit so she went all 90s and came back a year after with "Where Do They Do That At?' which was something that sounded like an Aaliyah b-side. Sabi's like Bonnie McKee, like they can be great making hits after hits but no chance of achieving their personal music endeavours because they are utterly lifeless. Well, I get it, Sabi's got cute voice nothing really special about it and with the musical path she wants to pursue we already have Wynter Gordon pacing on the same direction, who has more talent. 

Now, she is back with 'Cali Love' featuring hip-flop star Tyga (Tyga did a Cali Love song four years ago). I personally like the song but there is nothing there to make me write good things about it. It's like one of those songs that'll eventually help you kill the minutes while waiting for your lunch or something like that. It has an all-Cali vibe and lyrics with cute references from Jeep to Rayban. Any chance of charting? I'd be happy to see this on Bubbling Hot 100 but other than...mmm... NO.

Now, Britney Spears Commands You To Betta' 'Work Bitch"!

I am so loving this new song from the one and only POP PRINCESS Britney Spears. I don't know, but I just love it. I love the British accent thing going on and I love the fact that it's quite different from the other records she had done before. Though there are slight sameness to her previous collbaoration with will.i.am's 'Scream & Shout' there is no denying that it is much less busy. I don't agree with some reviews saying that it doesn't have any catchy or memorable hook to let you sing to it or even remember it because the whole friggin' song was hooky enough to make you wait for the song to finish before you hit replay. I am so ready for this new era of pure Britney realness.

Children Of The Sun - Tinie Tempah Ft. John Martin

Failing to peak atop of the UK Official Charts was pretty  much the forseen situation when Tempah chose to debut his sophomore album with a mess that is Trampoline. Seriously! The only thing I liked about the song was the Nike reference and the the City-name dropping which was completely a better version of Hilltop Hood's 'I Love It'. I was a bit expecting for a 'Pass Out' kinda first single and then a 'Written in the Stars' kinda follow up but then he had an awfully awry chart result jumping throught the electro-rap (I don't know what to call it, but it's noise) bandwagon. Tempah is definitely my favourite Brit rapper and was happy for his US endeavours falling part. 

Now back with Childred Of  The Sun with some help from the voice behind 'Don't You Worry Child', John Martin, I really have high hopes for the song to chart well and when I say well, I mean at the top not Trampoline-top or Sugababes-top. The song could be considered as a 'Stars' rehash but then the difference is that 'Stars' has this rock-rap-hiphop-alternative vibe to it while 'Sun' is just pure pop-rap perfection.

Iggy Azalea Wants To 'Change Your Life"

Iggy Azalea is back with the third single, Change Your Life, from her debut album The New Classic set for a September release (don't have the exact date which means it won't be released this September or this year). The new song which features Azalea's boss, T.I., was described by the MC, herself, as one the popppiest moments of the album along with Bounce (which flopped but I don't care 'cause I so love it). The song is like Azalea's 'Moment 4 Life' moment because she knows that to get inside that Hot 100 cash cow she needs a catchy chorus. She now knows that her rapping talent alone won't get her nothing just like when Nicki ditched her hardcore MC-ing and did Pink Friday which made her what shit she is today.

I love the song because I love Iggy Azalea and I don't have any issues with her American-accent-rapping debacle because you know what rapping with an Aussie accent is just disturbing and if you think it sounds like Tinie or Tinchy rapping then you're very wrong. You see! Brit rapping is just cool and hip. Anyway I hope the song performs well enough to establish Azalea as legit in this business because she'd stay basic unless she scores a Top 40 hit.

Jessie J's 'Excuse My Rude' - 'Do It Like a Dude' 0.5

Jessie J has been nothing but a mess quite recently releasing three singles from her not-so-anticipated sophomore album with two of them being a complete downgrade of previous hits. It's My Party as the premature sister of her biggest hit to date, Domino, is set for a release early-September with projection to chart like her first track for the album, Wild. Her newest musical Magnum Opus stylishly titled Excuse My Rude features American rapper Becky G who had previously collaborated with Brit Cher Lloyd for her Billboard Bubbling Chart (whatever you calll it) topper Oath. Rude is within the exact same formula in creating her best (but certainly not the biggest) song Do It Like  A Dude, originally penned for Rihanna. The pretentious swag it tries to transcend among listeners is quite mundane compared to the quiant yet sing-able Dude.

The verses of the song are quite identical to Dude but it's not necessarily a bad thing because it gives the song a Re-Up vibe from Dude but then when the chorus follows it completely brings the song into a very different place. Feels like it was the wrong chorus for those strong and sassy verses and the Becky G appearance didn't help at all and I would so prefer to have Alesha Dixon do the rap or even though I just can't with Tulisa, at least it would have some chart help.

Rating: 6/10
