This song gets good at the bridge. “So can you give it all to me,” Lionel Richie asks to a drumless ensemble of what sounds like synth xylophones and maracas, “Want to feel your energy; want to see you rock with me.” That eight-bar bit, which should be the chorus; the actual chorus is kind of annoying with Akon yelling in the background; is easily the best part of this otherwise bombastic party anthem.

It sounds like this is going to be a good album judging by the first two songs. In Control Of Things, which manages a sample of Vicki Anderson’s Message From The Soul Sisters, is particularly effective. The album falters with only a few minor notables from there, including Tower With The Power; another Breezin sample; and YZ putting on his Bally Shoes to Tread Water à la De La Soul.
