"I Wanna Love You", Akon featuring Snoop Dogg
Akon has found great success in his collaborations ("Soul Survivor" with Young Jeezy was huge), and he brings Snoop Dogg in to help him out with "I Wanna Love You."
This is Snoop at his best. He steals the show with some incredible rhymes. Akon's smooth voice provide a great refrain. The music on this track lays low, but it's a decent backdrop for Snoop and Akon to do their thing.
And just so you know...the lyrics are ahem...more adult in the explicit version.
"Wind It Up", Gwen Stefani
This song has it all...quick lyrics, a sublime bass line, funky beats, and yodeling? I admit I was skeptical this track would make it big, and could probably still live without the yodeling, but the fact is, Gwen has made it all come together as another big hit for her solo career.
"Coming for You", JoJo
After insisting a few blog entries ago that JoJo must have it in her to see some good in men, she comes through on "Coming For You", a song off her new joint The High Road. This time, she admits she's the one that messed up, but is determined to make things right. The song moves along fast and furious, with snappy and steady percussion and the ever-popular haunting piano melody rounding out the tune. As usual, JoJo sounds great and holds a couple notes to amaze us with her strong young voice. This song hasn't been released as a single, but it's a great track that deserves Hot Songs recognition.
