“Mail on Sunday — Flo Rida
Newcomer Flo Rida follows up his massive club-banding — yet uniquely harmony-laden — hit “Low” with the chart-climbing “Elevator,” featuring Timbaland. He has plenty more all-star assistance on his debut album, with Sean Kingston, Trey Songz, Yung Joc, Rick Ross, will.i.am and Birdman. The album is over-balanced with party-starters, but its better moments come when he tosses a change-up, such as the defiant, rock-fueled “American Superstar” with Lil’ Wayne, or the Roger Troutman-influenced ballad “Me & U.”
“Welcome to the Dollhouse’ — Danity Kane
The second album from the winners of Diddy’s “Making the Band 3″ sees the group getting in touch with its inner sleaze on this disco-fueled collection of dance tracks. They breathlessly coo cheeky lines such as “I got some tasty cakes” as they brazenly tempt the objects of their desire. This dollhouse might not deliver the promised “Ecstasy,” but it could help you work up a sweat.
“Do You Like Rock Music?’ — British Sea Power
On its third full album, British Sea Power traffics in dramatic but airy arrangements, fluke effects and guitars swimming in reverb, all with an anthemic sweep, rebellion and grace that evoke Arcade Fire. The Brighton quartet hasn’t abandoned its offbeat agenda, offering intelligent and cagey observations. As sharp as the lyrics are, it’s the sound that powers “Rock Music.” The title’s question may be cheeky, but the answer in this case is: Definitely.
