Flo Rida - Wild Ones [Album]

Billboard.com wrote:With recent singles "Good Feeling" and "Wild Ones" storming the Top 10 of the Hot 100, Flo Rida has continued a hit parade that started with tracks like "Low," "In The Ayer," "Right Round" and "Club Can't Handle Me." Now, the Florida artist is ready to unveil his latest full-length of pop-rap: his fourth studio album, "Wild Ones," will be released on July 3 through IMG/Poe Boy/Atlantic.

"With this album, there's gonna be a lot of No. 1s, so that's why I came up with the title 'Wild Ones,'" Flo Rida (real name: Tramar Dillard) tells Billboard. "I made it my business to be inspired by just traveling around the world, and just coming up with some music that the world can enjoy -- to take this from local to national to international."

The follow-up to 2010's "Only One Flo (Part 1)" will include "Good Feeling," which features Avicii and samples Etta James' "Something's Got A Hold on Me"; "Wild Ones," featuring Sia; and "Whistle," a new single which debuted at No. 64 on last week's Hot 100. The rapper that he recently shot "Whistle's" music video in Acapulco, Mexico, after traveling to Dubai for the "Wild Ones" video. And although Flo's Ke$ha-assisted 2009 hit "Right Round" spent six weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, he believes that "Whistle" "will probably be the biggest record I've done yet."

Next up for Flo Rida is an appearance on "The Voice" on Tuesday night (May 8), as well as scattered tour dates before the album release, including radio station summer blowouts in Massachusetts and Philadelphia. And get ready for more Flo Rida to invade Top 40: the rapper says he wants to take "each and every record" on "Wild Ones" into the Top 5. "I'm just taking things to new heights, and we're here for the marathon," he says, adding, "Maybe the next album will be called 'Marathon.'"

the album is renamed but this article appeared some weeks ago:

Flo Rida has debuted his new single.

The rapper will release 'Whistle' as the third official cut from his forthcoming album Only One Rida (Part Two), which is expected to be released in July.

The track was produced by DJ Frank E, who has previously worked with the likes of Madonna, Kanye West and Justin Bieber.

'Whistle' serves as the follow-up to Flo Rida's previous hit 'Wild Ones', which peaked at number four in the UK and number seven in the US.

The star has been working with Nicole Scherzinger, Pitbull, Usher, Lil Wayne and T-Pain on Flo Rida (Part Two).

The singles so far have all been really good. Quite excited for the album now to be honest!

Collaborations look good too (minus Pitbull) :wink:

Yeah I think this could be his best album yet, it should also perform reasonably well here in Australia, look at the singles...

#4 - Good Feeling [26 weeks, 5x Platinum]
#1 - Wild Ones [19 weeks, 5x Platinum]
#1 - Whistle [2 weeks, Gold]

So stupid though, changing the album title for the third time, especially since he just had an extensive promo tour saying the album was called 'Only One Rida' (which is in the lyrics of 'Whistle' too).

Could you please add [album] sign to the title, it's confusing now :)

I think it might be his best seller in Europe, not sure about US...

I don't mind the cover, I'd get rid of the 'F' logo in the corner though. It actually looks like a typical dance compilation album cover, just without the half naked chicks :lol:

Comes out June 29th in Australia.

Same reaction. Another classic bound to be ruined.

Wow that's all? I mean I know back in the day an album would be normally 10 tracks, but 9 tracks, with one being a bonus? Screams EP.

Either way, I only liked "Wild Ones" so far, and mostly cuz of Sia...

am I the only one who prefer albums to be short? not that I'd listen to a Flo Rida album, but all the three singles he released so far are good so if the other 6 are as good, it would be a great set

plus it's only £5.99, so he's not charging for a full album

I think it is supposed to be an EP, this was originally the second part of the 'Only One Flo' series, the last release ('Only One Flo [Part 1]') only had 8 tracks as well.

Plus, if you're not expecting to push many units (which he probably won't outside of Australia), you may as well save a few tracks and release something new in 6-9 months.

A song called 'Hey Jasmin' leaked, but I guess it didn't make the cut. It's very generic, so I'm not too upset.

The bonus track 'Run' w/ RedFoo has also leaked. It samples Bryan Adams' hit 'Run To You' in the chorus.

It doesn't matter how many tracks are on the album.. the difference between an EP and a full album is the running time of the album, not how many tracks are on it.

I'd rather have releases with 8/9 songs than releases with 12+ tracks with lots of filler involved any day.

This hasn't been a Dance board for at least a year now. It fits in with all of the other completely non-related topics.

I think this will leak any day now, Warner Music said they were listening to it in their office.

He's rapping, but it isn't urban music, it is commercial dance and pop.
