DANCE BITCH DANCE: benny benassi feat john legend - dance the pain away

benny benassi feat john legend - dance the pain away
there's something interesting here, even though the melody is perfectly melancholic and features the ever talented john legend, somehow it feels like something is missing. can't put my finger on it, but it does feel like this is more of a 'remix' than an actual release. very strange...

WONGIE POP DANCE SONG OF THE WEEK: loreen - my heart is refusing me (benny benassi edit)

loreen - my heart is refusing me (benny bennasi remix)
loreen's eurovision winning song euphoria was such a summer guilty pleasure, i didn't think she had it in her to release another diva friendly anthem. low and behold, this remix showed up at my doorstep today and BAM i'm playing this on repeat! the benny bennasi remix strips away alot of the bells and whistles of the original and focuses just on the song. honestly, the folks over at the label should really consider releasing this version too. turn it up!

wanna hear the original? here it is below:

WONGIE POP SONG OF THE WEEK: chris brown - don't wake me up

chris brown - don't wake me up
[it took 11 people to write this song! wtf?! with a crazily auto-tuned repetitive chorus, you would think i'd scoff at this from it's first play. but there's something beyond catchy here and well... 11 people involved have made sure you'll never forget this tune!!]

the japanese popstars feat lisa hannigan - song for lisa (benny bennasi remix)
[thank goodness benny bennasi was hired to give this song a re-rub cause the original version (which you can hear below) is neither here nor there! honestly the only reason why i even discovered this track is because of my deep love of all things lisa hannigan, so it's kind of a waste that she chose to offer up her strong vocals to this bland airy dance song. oh well, thats why we have remixes!]

if you want to hear the original, here is the video for the more meh version of the song...

WONGIE DANCE SONG OF THE WEEK: benny benassi feat gary go - cinema

benny benassi feat gary go - cinema
[continuing the trend between merging pop acts to club dj's, benny benassi seems to be on a roll these past few weeks with chris brown and now gary go as his guest vocalists. this track is a fun happy song with some serious bass kicking underneath, so turn it up!]

DANCE BITCH DANCE: chris brown feat benny benassi - beautiful people

chris brown feat benny benassi - beautiful people
[to me this sounds more like a benny benassi track featuring chris brown, but i'm not a stickler for logistics. in light of his current trashing drama last week, chris brown needs as much happy lifestyle visuals as he can get. and what better way than to show CB with all his celebrity friends (jamming to a club song no less!).]

shakira feat kid cudi - did it again (benny benassi remix)
[i like the big room club sound, but i still think there is a hot song just enhancing the beats from the original version]

POP BOY: christophe willem - heartbox / heartbox (benny benassi remix)

christophe willem - heartbox
[winner of the french equivalent of idol, christophe quickly became one of the biggest success stories of the show and has since forged a career mixed with catchy pop and cool individuality. 'heartbox' is written by guy chambers and matt hales, the same duo behind some of the biggest hits by kylie and robbie williams. what a great catchy pop song it is!]
