ROOTS (Route of Overcoming the Struggle) (Audio CD)

Customer Review

For about a year Flo Rida is thanks to the hit single "Low" an integral part of the chart rape anywhere in the world. Now is the second album "ROOTS (Route Of Overcoming The Struggle)," the rapper from Miami in stores, with which he wants to prove that he is no fluke. If you look at the tracklist so, you will something suspicious, because up to Wyclef Jean finds only R'n'B features such as Ne-Yo, Akon or Pleasure P, no trace of other people from Florida as Rick Ross, Plies or Ace Hood. This is already the first indication that it comes to lyrical mainly girls - demanding is something else. As for the productions, as "ROOTS" delivers a mix of partly quieter tracks with lots and pop sound that is made for a short chart success.

"Finally" is used as an intro and does its job very well. Easy mystical, very quiet and also an emotional touch is not too short. Flo Rida's lyrics are relatively deep here, but he is clearly upstaged by feature Sly Jordan, who sings the chorus. What started so well here, but is made immediately destroyed. "Jump" with Nelly Furtado is the piece that goes almost to the limit of endurance already. A very Electro-heavy production from the pole encounters a Flo Rida, who, as so often calls for Bootyshaken and a really gruesome chorus of Canadian singer - that's really only suitable for clubs when you thanks alcohol not really plan pays what one so get to hear! Is located at approximately the very same level of "Gotta Get It (Dancer)", in which one almost wonders if Flo Rida really has no right to itself.

One should hope that Flo Rida ever get away from his bodybuilder Immage, probably bury and trust that he at least get out fires one or the other club track. And so does the 29-year-old also impressive with the hit single "Right Round". Unlike the previous everything is just right here. The very electro pop instrumental even makes easy mood and loses hardly its appeal. Even Flo Rida's voice but sometimes can be a bit annoying, fits here perfectly this time and is complemented by singer Ke $ ha. Unusually deep presents Flo Rida on the title track "ROOTS", on which he can pass his life in review. Depth beats and matching synthesizer effects provide the perfect sound to his Rhymes, which probably gives rise to the highlight of the album overall.

Flo Rida's probably the biggest problem is that he can not keep constant such quality. "Be On You" (feat. Ne-Yo) should indeed like the ladies, really imaginative but this pretty soft number is not, can be saved by Ne-Yo's performance though, but this also is singing so much that the song probably better would have fit on one of his albums. In general, one sometimes has the feeling that Flo Rida has been guided by its guests. Akon is able to fit in "available" at the start, a track that would have to "Freedom". Overall, a pretty fleet number with strong inclination to dance pop, but can not really make an impression, because you get to something like this nowadays constantly hear. Dancepop is the key even with "Sugar". For the chorus of singer Wynter one has to "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65 oriented, but which surprisingly works well and the two artists look good on the rather catchy piano instrumental. Finally, "Rewind" can be found with the emotional and really nice with become Wyclef Jean can find one of the few highlights, but then what leads "ROOTS" still at a fairly conciliatory end.

Flo Rida's sophomore has to offer two sides. On the one hand but he delivers lyrical total failures and partly cheapest productions, on the other hand also ordinary dancefloor filler and one or two surprisingly good, something more serious song. Overall, therefore, is "ROOTS" so classified in midfield, unfortunately a bit disappointing, especially because it can not compete with its predecessor in terms of quality. If you like simple food and not places great emphasis on good writing, can securely access here, everyone else, the good Down South Rap expect are definitely at the wrong address.
