O'Neal McKnight - Champagne Red Lights ft. Heavy D & Big Ali
Artist: O'Neal McKnight
Producer: Cass & Dubs
Album: Prom 2088
Label: E1
Who’da thunk that they would live to hear the day when Heavy D would be mistaken for Roger Troutman? Well, on Champagne Red Lights, the Overweight Lover has linked up with the musical offspring of Michael Jackson and Depeche Mode, O’Neal McKnight, for a reggae-infused new single. On this record off McKnight’s forthcoming debut, Prom 2088, producers Cass & Dubs bring their electronic sound to the island of Jamaica, but with mixed results. Champagne Red Lights, which features the booming voice of Big Ali, will certainly move bodies on the dancefloor, but will it make McKnight’s creativity heard? Transcending age, race, and genre, this new single’s agenda is clear: to get people to dance.

Beats a club banger for sure. Chorus was catchy, lyrics/singing was average. I can see this in the clubs.

I really dig McKnight's style and energy! I've heard a handful of songs from him and can really get with this kind of music for a party. With that being said, the production on here is enough to make a SMASH RECORD.
However, the song is way too much all over the place and certain pieces do not match with each other. You have a reggae influenced chorus followed by Fat Man Scoop screaming. It's all really out of place which is a shame because it has potential to be a hit. |

WOW:), this is a "no-hate zone". Your comments sounded like you were hating on O'Neal McKnight as well as icons Heavy D & Fatman Scoop, so I deleted them.
If you wish to make comments, leave the hate out of it, OK? |

Not sure why O’Neal McKnight doesn't get much love from the Booth? He isn't a wannabee, he is creative, and he brings a unique charm to his work.
This hasn't really hit the club scene yet, but its a burner. Look out... |

Haha. I laughed when I saw this goofball featured again. His summer single with his weird video with his bad Michael Jackson impresention and horrible vocals that got well receieved for IDK what reason...I laughed for a while. This is certainly a step up from that. Heavy D on the auto tune? Interesting! I liked it. I like thehook a lot. I definitely wouldn't mind hearing this on a night out!! Absolutely. I agree, it is a little congested, but it's actually a solid track for what they were trying to do...make a club song. I wouldn't bump it any other time, but on a night out and in a dance setting, ABSOLUTELY. Good joint.

This song hits hard. I think it would be hard to rate it on regular computer speakers... This song is meant to bump. Loud. I can see it in a club, and get everyone moving!
