In Stores Today -- Flo-Rida

Flo-Rida may be S. Florida's best success in the last few years. His break out single "Low" was crowned Billboard's #1 single for the 2008 year. And his lead single "Right Round", from his 2nd project R.O.O.T.S had the biggest 1st week sales in digital history! While he may be overlooked in terms of accolades and awards, he's an obvious consumer favorite; both in the States and abroad.

R.O.O.T.S (acronym meaning Route of Overcoming the Struggle) is a feel good CD as soon as you press start. The last few CDs that I've purchased have had that effect, so I'm thanking Flo-Rida for not breaking my stride! While "Right Round" misses its mark w/ me, "Sugar" is what turned me on to giving the CD a fair listen. "Sugar", co-written by the Jackie Boyz (who I absolutely love, Google them, they're an amazing songwriting duo) and featuring Wynter Gordon (an Atlantic Records labelmate and songwriter) struck a chord w/ me b/c it's uncharacteristically corny for Flo-Rida's style. It features a sample from Eiffel 65 "Blue", which was international crossover on its own merit

Enlisting the guaranteed chart-topping talent of such artists like Ne-Yo, Akon, Nelly Furtado, Will.I.Am, and Timbaland, this electro-pop fusion solidifies Flo-Rida as an artist who has a keen ability to pick the right records. "Available" is his confirmation to the ladies, letting them know his status as Akon lays down a sexy yet catchy R&B hook. "Be On You" delivers another great Ne-Yo appearance (has he recorded a bad record ever?) In predictable Timbaland/Danja fashion, Flo-Rida makes us get it in at the club w/ "Mind on my Money" and "Touch Me". It's hard to say that any of the tracks are weak, b/c it's hard to expect anything different from Flo-Rida. The 1 thing we can be certain of is Flo-Rida is a relatively skilled lyricist, who will surpass even his own previously set marks
