Pitbull's "Global Warming" Track Reviews: "Outta Nowhere," featuring Danny Mercer


Track #9 on Global Warming is a sweet, melodic, mid tempo tune that I could really picture hearing on the radio.  Colombian-American recording artist Danny Mercer's got a sweet voice and his vocals on the chorus blend perfectly with Pit's equally smooth raps on the verse.  Love this one!  Sweet! Check out Outta Nowhere, and check out my reviews of the first 8 songs on Global Warming:

Pitbull's "Global Warming" Track Reviews: "Have Some Fun," featuring The Wanted & Afrojack


The lyric sample in this track, the 8th off of Pitbull's Global Warming, is immediately recognizable, albeit quite different from Sheryl Crow's original version, and it's the boys from The Wanted providing the vocals on that chorus.  This collaboration between Pit and the boys from the U.K. was surprising, and I hadn't realized until after a couple of listens that it was in fact them singing on the club-infused track.  But once I knew, well, the voices are pretty unmistakable actually.

This one's got all sorts of highs and lows.  The music behind the chorus is reminiscent of the boys' recent I Found You, and Afrojack's fast and furious beats provide good dance-able moments.  And of course, there's Pit's raps, irresistible and catchy in their own right:

You know the type of women that I like, 
the ones that understand my life, 
the ones that understand wrong is right.
So let's do something wrong tonight. 

You name it, I'll do it. 
Always the fluid, in Spanish I'm fluent.
That means my tongue is bilingual, 

ready to play with that spot where you tingle.
Gotta bingo, she's a star, ringo. 

Her and two friends? Hmm, I like that lingo.
She asked if I'm single, I said "of course not" and she loved it.
Next thing you know we're both having fun in public! Dale!




Have Some Fun is yet another one of those moments on Global Warming that's good enough to have made me want to review this album in the first place.  Check it out on YouTube.  Also be sure to check out the rest of my reviews so far on Global Warming:

Pitbull's "Global Warming" Track Reviews: "Party Ain't Over," featuring Usher and Afrojack


We add a little soul and even more dance on the next track, Party Ain't Over, with the smooth vocals of Usher and the crazy dance beats of Afrojack surrounding Pit's raps.  This is another nice tune with a catchy chorus and funky, danceable beats that can definitely have em getting down on the dance floor.  Check out Party Ain't Over, and tell the deejay, jay, jay, jay, jay, turn that mother****er out, out, out, out, out...

Pitbull's "Global Warming" Track Reviews: "Hope We Meet Again," featuring Chris Brown

We could be anywhere tonight
Could be right here underneath the lights
I see the colours in your eyes
Beautiful rainbows all around us
We got the whole world in our hands
This is the night we won't forget
Whatever happens in the end
I just hope, I hope we meet again

The next track on Global Warming is one full of mid tempo sweetness.  Featuring the admittedly pleasant singing of Chris Brown on the chorus and Pit's raps throughout, this is one of my favorites off the album.  Check out Hope We Meet Again, and please read my take on the first four tracks on Pitbull's latest:

Pitbull's "Global Warming" Track Reviews: "Back in Time"


Track #4 on Global Warming was a pretty big hit last summer.  Originally meant for the soundtrack to the film, Men in Black 3 (for some reason, it never made it), the song's got a vintage feel to it, with that all too familiar guitar hook from Mickey and Sylivia's Love Is Strange.  It's not the best tune on the album, but it's pretty damn enjoyable.  Check it out...

Pitbull's "Global Warming" Track Reviews: "Feel This Moment"



The third track on Pitbull's Global Warming made it all the way to #3 on Billboard's Hot 100 and for good reason.  This collaboration with Christina Aguilera works very well, interspersing Pit's raps with Christina's vocals on the chorus and a frenzied, disco-fied sample of a-Ha's Take On Me in the background. One of the best tunes on the record!

Pitbull's "Global Warming" Track Reviews: "Don't Stop the Party," featuring TJR

The second track on "Global Warming" is also the album's current single.  This one's nothing but fun, with toe-tapping beats and a good time, feelgood chorus.  The song features recording artist TJR and samples Toots and the Maytals' Funky Kingston.  Great track!

Pitbull's "Global Warming" Track Reviews: The Title Cut


Some of the most popular posts on John's World over the past year or so have been my track by track reviews of current albums.  Since tackling Madonna's M.D.N.A. last year, I've covered tracks from P!nk's The Truth About Love, Christina Aguilera's Lotus, Rihanna's Unapologetic, and recently Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience.  Now's the time to begin reviews of the tracks on two more albums, Pitbull's Global Warming, released in November of last year, and will.i.am's #willpower, which just came out last month.

First up is the title track to Pitbull's Global Warming, which has been getting a lot of airtime on my iPod lately.  The entire album is chock full of mesmerizing dance floor ditties and tantalizing beats and we begin with a familiar sound, that of Los Del Rio's Macarena.  The intro song is short, but infectious, with that easily identifiable and groovealicious music track, Pit's straight-up vocals and a Latin-infused guest rap by Dominican rapper Sensato.  Check out Global Warming on Daily Motion.  I love this one!
