Flo Rida - Turn Around (5 4 3 2 1)
Artist: Flo Rida
Producer: DJ Frank E
Album: Only 1 Flo
Label: Poe Boy/Atlantic
Flo Rida‘s back with single number two off his junior album? Oh Yeah. Uh, I mean, “Yes.” Having established that the Club Can’t Handle [Him], the Panhandle State hitmaker has nonetheless returned to spark a revolution on the dancefloor with the follow-up, Turn Around (5 4 3 2 1). Over DJ Frank E‘s synth-drenched beat (featuring a sample from the Ferris Bueller-famous Yello cut whose title I not-so-cleverly worked into that first line), Rida revisits the lyrical theme that runs through… nearly everything the man’s ever done: the beauty of the female anatomy in motion. With the help of some characteristically speedy flows, the emcee encourages an alluring shawty to ditch her inhibitions and back it up for his viewing pleasure. Complete with a chorus that’ll be etched in your memory by the time the song is over (“Mm-da-da, mm-da-da, mm-da-da, whoa-oh!”), Turn Around has booty-shaking pop appeal out the wazoo, but will it succeed where its predecessor stumbled and earn the respect of Booth regulars? We shall see. If you’re digging it, then you can expect more bangers on Only 1 Flo, set to drop Nov. 30.

Kudos to Flo Rida for sticking with what has made him a star in this industry. The man doesn't need to change up his flow (haha), style, image, or sound - he knows what works and he is damn good at it.
Props to Frank E for crafting yet another club-ready beat, which DJs should eat up from coast-to-coast for months and months to come. |

Gotta love the always on point sampling that Flo includes in his tracks. It's probably what makes them popular. Although, his flow is something to be reckoned with. Will this style of his ever get old? Only time will tell. But for now, I will be banging this at the clubs for a while.

Damn Flo Rida's one of the few artists that can make the same songs over again. Just with a new twist on each, of course so people won't confuse them, and you love them. Well I'm not mad at him.

This is catchy, aimed at the radio/club scene, and is filled with solid rhymes from an artist who has had much success sampling songs. Flo Rida is good at what he does. 3.5

Brilliant beat. This is a radio smash in the making. DJBooth's dropping some good tracks today!
Doesn't seem there's an end to Flo's string of heats. |

Its funny how everyones opinion of Flo Rida has completely changed since Low hit the radio, the man has proven that he is much more than a '1 hit wonder'.
This track is likely to be yet another top 10 hit for Flo Rida. The production is definately club ready & Flo Rida sounded really comfortable over it |

There's a definite formula to this production, but it's a formula because it works. As expected, Flo Rida regurgitates the same flow/lyrics all over again. This works in the club-environment perfectly, though, each time, his only 1 flow losing it's charm... quite significantly.
It's all about hooks with this style of music, and here it's certainly simple and catchy, just not potent enough to stick. It just doesn't soar the way or transforms into something quite anthemic that his best songs do. But I really hate to cement my opinion in stone this early, because I feel I may like this better with subsequent listens. As for now, I'll settle with 2.5 |

not as good as his past major hits, but still a high probability this will be a hit too.

Well, simply knowing Flo Rida's trademark of churning out huge pop and club hits, I expected something a bit better, but I think this will grow on me.
