Party favourites
I Am the Club Rocker is the second full-length studio album by Romanian recording artist Inna. Un momento is an up-tempo Latin house song which incorporates elements of synthpop. The lyrics are sung in both Spanish and English which results in Spanglish lyrics. Club Rocker incorporates elements of electro house.
House is going on, the third track, develops high inflections of electronica music. Endless is an electropop song with a downbeat all over it. Sun is up is the highlight of the album. The next track Wow is another up-tempo song and it features repetitive lyrics. Track Senorita is another rhythmic song.
July is a mid-tempo song which features Spanish guitars in the background. No Limit tells the listner that “sky is the limit” and they can do whatever they want to do. Put your hands up is a veritable up-tempo ballad. This album is for parties and for DJs.

Classic hits
All of Sinatra’s famous numbers, including My funny valentine, Come fly with me, and Strangers in the night all feature in this album. The number Young at heart was a runaway hit, and a movie featuring actress Doris Day and Frank Sinatra himself was renamed Young at Heart. Then, there’s that eternal favourite, that theme from New York New York. “I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps...if I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere,” continues to capture the spirit of the city like no other.
There’s Strangers in the night which won the ‘Record of the Year’ (1967 Grammy). Something stupid is a simple little song recorded with Nancy Sinatra. Most of the songs are ballads and the vocals come out strongly. I finished with My way’s famous lines, “The record shows I took the blows, and I did it my way.” Listen to this one, if it has somehow passed you by all these years.
