LIFE | Top Five Songs w/Bounce That You Should Download
As we pack our favorite accessories, swimsuits, and head to the West Coast we have to make sure we have the right soundtrack that serves as a pre-game and ultimate soundtrack for our road trip and time there. Check out
Day Ones x Rochelle Jordan
There's nothing like having a bounce to a song, but an unexpected bounce is a huge treat. RoJo (Rochelle Jordan) does it with an angelic voice that seems effortless. Instead of doing a comparison of the light, kind-hearted voices of our great Baby Girl Aaliyah, meaningful words and soulfulness of Amerie; I must mention how relatable the tracks on 1021 are. But Day Ones describes for your real friends, not the phony ones. Definitely a song to be blasted on a summer day on the way to a cookout where you'll see everyone, or in my case COACHELLA!
Gotta Do x Wave Chapelle
If you could put ambition on a beat with instrumental this would be it. Knowing Wave for consistency I wasn't surprised Gotta Do was going to be poppin'. Something is fun an artist on CMG that doesn't have quite the normal "street cred" but street cred for being himself.
I Know x Kiya Lacey featuring PETTY
Getting to hear this before it was put out for the masses to stream and vibe to it, probably has a lot to do with why I like it so much. It could be that it's very relatable and also has a great voice with writing to boot. Not as bouncy as the others, but Nashville native Kiya Lacey seems to know (pun intended) what she wants in the matters of love even though it may not be right at the time. Press play for your pleasure.
New New x Ryan Leslie
Every time I listen to something new from Ryan Leslie, it always makes me think of a nice sunny day, no matter if it's freezing cold and snowing. That's how you know music is good. This time New New gives a bounce and a bit of bragging points. Cool, keen and summer ready it's an automatic keeper for the spring time.
Dozen x Jay Dot Rain
When a Wu-Tang sample is used, you automatically get attention but when it's used properly it has the possibility of being the Summer anthem with the right push. First thoughts listening to Dozen is where is this going and please don't mess it up, second thoughts, "This GOES!" It also reminds me of 50 Deep, you remember the FUBU song with the counting, yes that one, but modernize. Bass loaded and bounce ready for your whip.
