Flo Rida - Wild Ones

Flo Rida's currently made another big smash with "Good Feeling" and "Wild Ones" could follow on that moment. Personally I found that "Good Feeling" was a bit dull at first but warmed up to it, "Wild Ones" is the polar opposite, it's great at first, but has potential to get boring eventually.

The song starts out wonderfully. A smooth and catchy, yet still restrained, verse from Sia gets it started and the Flo Rida bursts in with his usual rap. It's a familiar structure, yet with Sia's voice and sound new to the industry it offers something fresh. The song continues like this for a bit, but eventually we run into a problem. Basically, Sia takes over the song. She has much more time singing than Flo Rida does, and by the end it's pretty much just her with Flo Rida only adding odds and ends. Sia's voice is amazing, but this was supposed to be a Flo Rida song, by the end it's a Sia song.

Like I said, it starts out very catchy and by combining powerful rap verses with a unique chorus. But once we get to the second half, and it's just the same thing again and again. Sia just repeating herself until the end. It's not atrocious but is this becomes a song that you hear a lot, then it is likely to get a bit tiresome. Flo Rida's raps always add life and the disappearance of them at the end takes away from the song sadly.

I won't bother saying too much about lyrics because dance-rap just isn't something that puts any effort into meaning. For the parts I can understand it's a pretty simple idea and nothing too special.

I think that people will like this song and it will be a big hit for Flo Rida. Who knows? It might be a number one for a while. But the problem is that it's not the kind of song that's going to be remember much once it's gone. And it certainly won't be remembered as a major Flo Rida song because it was most certainly a Sia song.
