This blog is born of a New Year's resolution challenging myself to write every day. My goal is to regularly update this space with short music reviews—mainly songs, as that seems most manageable, but hopefully some albums as well—in order to exercise my skills of artistic critique (and perhaps expand my own sonic horizons in the process).

"Let It Roll" Flo Rida
Well, he's nothing if not prolific. Back again with the fourth single from his as-yet-unreleased fourth studio album, Flo Rida's latest, "Let It Roll," is another bouncing, club-ready rap track aiming to take over the airwaves this summer. The song's subject matter—partying all night and having a good time—is old hat for the Miami rapper, as it is pounding, synth-heavy sound, but it does manage to provide one truly unexpected thrill: the fantastic chorus, sampled from Freddie King's "Let the Good Times Roll." It may not be original, but it's the kind of anthemic hook that could just garner Flo Rida his first #1 hit since 2009's "Right Round." B+
