" Flo Rida often gets a hard time around these parts, accused of symbolising everything wrong with music today. As one of the pioneers of the urban-dance genre, he has helped create a singles-driven culture of disposable club music that has also played a significant role in the demise of the album. As such, the very notion of a Flo Rida LP feels both strange and pointless - and the feeling appears to be mutual. Granted we have a worryingly large soft spot for &amp;#039;Wild Ones&amp;#039;, though the credit largely lies with pop genius-turned-topline-writer Sia, who after 15 years and five universally ignored albums can&amp;#039;t be blamed for trading it all in for an easier life.  It&amp;#039;s a similar story for the Avicii/Etta James-sampling &amp;#039;Good Feeling&amp;#039;, which still has a strange poignancy to it given that James tragically passed away mere weeks after its release. The remainder continues in the expected thumpathon fashion, albeit with less surprisingly impressive results - unless you count squeezing in six people to write a dodgy pun about blowjobs on his latest chart assault &amp;#039;Whistle&amp;#039;. Elsewhere, Flo attempts to pull off the Sia trick again with US indie singer Georgi Kay on &amp;#039;In My Mind&amp;#039;, but the results are substantially inferior. He even gets Jennifer Lopez painstakingly linking candy with G-spots on &amp;#039;Sweet Spot&amp;#039;, though there is minor solace on Rick Ross-helmed &amp;#039;Thinking of You&amp;#039;. The result has the cohesion of a compilation album, but then he is a &amp;#039;singles artist&amp;#039; after all.
