Enrique Iglesias - I Like How it Feels

I remember not too long ago when OneRepublic were talking about their song, "Good Life," and asked, "When was the last time you heard a song with whistling?" Well it seems as though all the major artists are following their example, since Britney, Foster the People, Maroon 5, Jason Derulo, and now Enrique Iglesias have all followed suit.

My first thought about a new Enrique song that featured Pitbull and had the phrase, "I Like" in the title was that we might be getting just another repeat of "I Like It." But it turns out that "I Like How it Feels" is something a little different. Enriques slows it down for the opening showing us a new kind of sound. Of course it eventually builds into a dancy chorus, but it's clear that effort was put into making a song that was something new.

The downside to the song though, is that even though it sounds a little different, it still gets tiresome just listening to Enrique chanting, "I like how it feels," over and over again. They tried to break it up by adding a Pitbull verse in there, which is good a idea in theory, but Pitbull was a bad choice. He's been so overplayed this year that hearing him has just got annoying, plus Enrique already featured Pitbull so it's not like it's anything new for him. I'd like to see him team up with someone else for a change, like Flo Rida or Nicki Minaj maybe.

"I Like How it Feels" is an overall average song. It's something unique while still dancy, yet it gets old fast. Enrique's last song, "Dirty Dancer," was a bit of an unexpected flop, so it's really up in the air whether "I Like How it Feels" will do the same, or continue his trend of hits.
