Rock the Party

ROCK THE PARTY is pretty different from DOUBLE's past releases just because of the fact it incorporates a latin/raggae beat into the song which gives it a summer type vibe. The song starts out with BOY-KEN introducing the song than Takako immediately coming in with her soulful vocals. Only 30 seconds in the chorus hits you with Takako's singing becoming more urgent and the instruments speeding up. The chorus overall is the best part of the song and it is entirely in english. I really enjoyed this song. The Love on Fire is the c/w track and to be honest it is almost on par with the a-side track. Like before this song continues the latin vibe and opens with a girl whispering in spanish. The chorus is very infectious with the "ah's" in the background and the guitar. ROCK THE PARTY -STUDIO APARTMENT REMIX- is a pretty good remix. It slows the track down giving it more of a R&B flavor but keeps the latin theme going with some maracas and congo drums. It also adds a bit of a techno feel here and there.
