If you can look past that herpes shit on his cheeks, you’ll realise that this is pretty damn good. Freestylin’ too apparently.

Dope shit.

What happens when you combine a singer who relies heavily on autotune, a singer who relies on his prepubescent voice and put them over a beat by Benny Blanco? Well, relatively decent results. On the plus side I’m a fan of the production, Blanco is great at doing those big mainstream numbers. Secondly the chorus is quite catchy. On the down side the lyrics are weak, catchy but weak. Also Bieber’s voice is overly processed and of course, Kingston’s is as well. Kingston doesn’t really suffer from this but Bieber’s vocals seem a bit weak as a result.

Analysis over, it’s ok. Better than I was expecting if I’m totally honest, and quite upbeat and radio friendly. I think it’s an SK single which will also be appearing on Bieber’s album, preview it below.

The autotune on Bieber’s vocals is really starting to annoy me actually.

NPR Music have got an exclusive stream of the album on their website. If you’ve got an hour to spare, give it a listen, I’ve just started now and I’m already excited as hell because I’ve heard Snoop Dogg less than a minute into it.

The radio rip is of Chipmunk’s upcoming track called ‘Until You Were Gone.’ It sounds a bit like he’s trying to create another ‘Oopsy Daisy’ – the break up and the reflection, the big female chorus. The only thing is there’s something about this track I prefer. I’m glad he hasn’t decided to release a track with autotuned vocals.

If only Ludas part was a little long and fitted with the track a little more. Still, I guess it needs a big feature state-side. Shame really but, ah well – still got that same great instrumental.

The best part of this video? The cameo from Drake. Not a bad song though I guess. His voice is soon to break sooner or later though and then we’ll have to see what he sounds like. Ludacris is good as always.

Even though I heard this track when it first dropped, i’m still not bored of it. This is the second video to this song if i’m not mistaken, i’m not too sure why they’ve made two videos but i’m not really bothered as long as they keep making tracks like this. Here’s to a big 2010 for Chiddy Bang.

Is this great? Not really. They’re still doing their ’sound like RedOne without actually hiring him’ thing – which i guess is fair enough. I mean, RedOne has had a lot of success recently and working with him would come at a price. I’d say he’s into the $100k per track phase for a lead single easily, I mean hes just always producing hits. He’s working with kylie Minogue as well this year, which is sure to be a great collab.

Back to Cascada, was rumoured to be produced by Timbo but I don’t think thats true. Preview below.
