Search - Louie :: Everyday

THE BEST ARABIC FUSION DANCE ALBUM IN THE WORLD

"I have to admit that I read reviews before I buy an Album. One of the reviews,the only review on all the sites I visited, claimed that another CD is better than this one. To tell you the truth, I owned that CD, before I gave it away to a friend, and it is not even 1/5 the quality and feel that this Album has, and that DJ is using Louie's music on his Album, which is enough evidence to show who is better.



Anyways, This Album gives you everything from Hip Hop, Trance, Tribal, Dabbkeh in a way that makes you Dance from the first track to the last. There are 10 tracks on the Album with some remixes, and that is normal for Arabic albums which usually contain 7-8 tracks, but this one is not just about 1 song and the rest is nothing, every song is great and has a unique style.



I highly recommend this Album and trust me, you will love every track on it.

An EP CD masquerading as a full-length CD

"First, my main complaint with this dance album is the length: the total time on this CD is only 45 minutes---and that's rounding UP! In the liner notes, the artist apologizes for taking "so long to realize this album." Perhaps he should have spent a little MORE time coming up with enough original material to fill a CD. Now, on to the songs themselves. If you like hip hop music, you'll probably like the first two tunes; otherwise, like me, you'll skip to the 8 remaining songs. Of those songs, three are remixes (you can do the math). One of these remixes is touted as being an "extended" version, from 3.5 minutes to 5.5 minutes---two whole minutes more! On the otherwise lively instrumental track "Oasis," a female voice periodically interrupts the song to proclaim, "Oasis," seemingly only to alert the listener to the ingenious title of the song. On the song "Shake It" another spoken voice has to continually remind the dancer to "shake it." Note to artist: in a dance tune, if the folks aren't already shaking it, then you haven't done your job. These vocal inserts are redundant and distracting. The song "Move Your Belly (Live)" also appears on THE FAR SUPERIOR ALBUM "ONE THOUSAND & ONE NIGHTS" BY SAID MRAD. CHECK THIS ONE OUT INSTEAD!!! For my tastes, this CD should have been edited down to the 4-5 good dance tunes (with no filler "remixes") and released as an EP (and cheaper) CD. Or, maybe I should just have waited for the releases of the REAL extended dance singles (if they come out) of the handful of songs I like here."
