Disco Crash
''Disco Crash'' is the sixth studio album by French DJ Bob Sinclar, released on 20 February 2012 on Yellow Productions. It produced six singles: "Tik Tok" featuring Sean Paul; " Far l'amore" featuring Raffaella Carrà; "Me Not a Gangsta" featuring Mr Shammi and Colonel Reyel (a remix of the album track "Not Gangsta"); " Rock the Boat" featuring Pitbull, Dragonfly and Fatman Scoop; "Fuck with You" featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Gilbere Forte; and "Groupie", a song included on the re-release. Critical reception Jon O'Brien of AllMusic wrote that while Sinclar is "no stranger to the idea of the odd hook-up", ''Disco Crash'' represented the "first time he's assembled such an esteemed array of guests on one record". O'Brien highlighted "Fuck with You", "Put Your Handz Up" and "Magic Fly", but felt that "far too often, Sinclar descends into the kind of brainless novelty territory that seems more suited to a holiday camp disco than the super-clubs of Ibiza Ibiza (natively a ...

AllMusic
AllMusic (previously known as All-Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as All-Music Guide by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it, he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
