Sophia Fresh - This Instant
Artist: Sophia Fresh
Featuring: T-Pain
Producer: The Bizness
Album: Step Up 3-D Soundtrack
Label: Nappy Boy/Atlantic
This August, the popular Step Up series is set to make its transition to three dimensions – can you say “cinematic classic in the making?” Well, OK, to keep it one-hundred, I’m planning on steering as far clear of this one as I did the first two installments. Even if you, like me, aren’t in the target audience for hyperkinetic dance films, though, it’s hard to deny the energy that Nappy Boy/Atlantic signees Sophia Fresh bring to the latest single off the movie’s soundtrack. Here, an anonymous English fella commands listeners to, “Clap your hands to the beat This Instant,” as Cole, Skye and Crystal lace The Bizness’ twisty, turny synth boardwork with amped-up vocals. Complete with an appropriately exuberant (non-Autotuned) guest verse from label boss T-Pain and a dazzling bridge that comes out of absolutely nowhere, this cut is about as much fun as downing a dozen Pixy Stix, without the dreaded sugar crash. If you agree with my assessment, you’ll want to go out to your local record store and pick up a copy of the soundtrack album This Instant (that is, if you’re reading this review on or after July 20, which is when the LP hits stores).

While (sadly) I am not particularly optimistic about the future for this female trio (they aren't bad, but there isn't much special or unique about their singing abilities), I do like "This Instant."
Though that has more to do with the club-ready production and T-Pain's vocal wizardry, the girls do their part and offer up the ideal sugary pop vocals needed to make this rotation-worthy (which it is indeed).

ughh tht bridge is fap-tastic
;) ne ways the song was a blast its somewhere near Shawty Get Loose (http://www.djbooth.net/index/tracks/review/lil-mama-ft-t-pain-chris-brown-shawty-get-loose-remix/) level...SOMEWHERE but not completly there. Vocals from the gurls were solid, T-Pain's verse was lacking, but the lack of autotune made it sound A-mazingly great! |

The beat from The Bizness was alright. It's not really like to my liking. This might do well in the clubs or radio, but not at home. T-Pain's part got annoying.

I remember this demo leaking as a T-Pain track last year. It's not that great though, but the chorus is catchy.

I have to agree with Z on this one. The track's catchy, mostly because of that production, but the girls don't do enough to truly distinguish themselves. Plus, as a general rule, I don't like Engligh people yelling at me to do things.
Good for what is is, but personally, I'll pass.

It's a good song; the beat makes you want to clap alon and now your head, you could booty shake, grind, jerk, or just mosh to it in the club, which gives it a versatility. It won't be a classic, but it's a banger. It's something I'd add to my iPod. =]

The Bizness does it on the beat. I'm a fan of Sophia Fresh's - What It Is. This is equally good pop/dance. I hope they can hang around for a while in the game. I like the way their vocals are always so crisp and clean cut. T-Pain's verse was well done thanks to the lack of auto-tune. Good Song 4 stars, will definitely miss the movie though.

I think the hook is the best part of this song, Sophia Fresh are just not that original.
