I’ve had so much to post today but I think this’ll be the last of it. Couple of good electro tracks here, although both have flaws if I’m totally honest, which I’ll get to when I discuss them in a minute. Only news I’ve read is that Katy Perry is appearing in the new Smurfs film, leading The Sun to use the same joke about a blue movie for throughout their entire article.
More news, Russell Lissack, lead guitarist of Bloc Party fame, is set to release his debut album in new side project ‘Pin me Down’ – and based on the samples on MySpace it’s Bloc Party of the old with a female singer. Can’t wait for that, the album will be released April 19th.
On to music, the first new track is from Akon and is produced by his new best friend David Guetta, and is called ‘Party Animal’. The production is quite good on this,a nd I’m actually looking forward to this album from Akon. Shamefully though, there were a few songs I enjoyed off the last album so that’s nothing new. Good production from Guetta, some house vibes towards the chorus however, the chorus seems kind of lacking from Akon. Enjoyable though, although the “sexy and you know it” bit ruins the flow for me. Check it out below.

The other new track is from Crookers and features Will.I.Am and is called ‘Let’s Get Beezy’. There’s also a track featuring Pitbull but I don’t like it, Pitbull just doesn’t fit with the track at all. Will has been collabing on a few dance tracks recently, obviously with the Peas whole direction which is bordering on dance as well as with Steve Aoki. I really like both of these, and this is no different. I really like the production from Crookers and the rapping from Will.I.Am works. Love the chorus as well, good track.
