Gomi and Don Philip - It's A Good Thing (Remixes)

Don Philip was most notably an early duet partner of Britney Spears on her first album. After parting ways with the major label he was signed to, he released several albums independently. He auditioned on the 2nd season of X-Factor, however, it didn't go quite as planned.

"It's A Good Thing" was quietly released earlier this year. He teams up with longtime producer/programmer/DJ Gomi for this song. Don's vocals are quite good. Despite the simple lyrics, they are good. The uptempo song could easily be on Pop radio right now if were to be worked there. There are some club-oriented remixes by Gomi with Rasjek and Yasuo Yamada. The Gomi with Rasjek mix is more mainstream. It is just as suitable for radio as it is for the clubs. The Gomi with Yasuo Yamada one is harder. Overall, every version is great.

Don Philip - There Is No Us

Some may remember Don Philip from Pop icon Britney Spears' debut album ...Baby One More Time. He was featured on the song "I Will Still Love You." He was signed to a major label, but after the lead single didn't fare well, he was dropped. He continued to record. He is back with a new album and the stunning single "There Is No Us", a ballad. In addition to the main version, there are several forthcoming remixes by Whitechild, Tony Moran and Junior Vasquez. The Whitechild mix is currently streaming on Don's MySpace. It is a simple, straightforward circuit mix. It complements the ballad type arrangement of the original. The song works better as a dance mix.

Grade: A-
