Rosabel - Party Groove: Fireball Volume 2

On their latest compilation, Fireball Vol. 2, Rosabel (Ralphi Rosario & Abel) gives listeners a taste of their red-hot brand of circuit energy. After creating one of last year's top circuit compilations with the first volume of Fireball, Rosabel brings their second installment to the next level giving listeners a major dose of diva vocals, frenetic beats, and non-stop circuit party energy.

Fireball Vol. 2 kicks off with Ralphi Rosario featuring Donna Blakely's "Burnin' Up" and sets the tone for the rest of the disc. The combination of Blakely's sassy vocals and Ralphi's signature sound is a definite winner and with a kick-off track like this you will be pulled into the sound of Rosabel. "The Power" by Kevin Aviance keeps the energy high with its fierce synth-filled production by Gomi, while the hot tribal-infused remix by Angelo Kortez of Rachel Panay's "The Walk of Shame" keeps you moving and singing along to those diva vocals. Rosabel continues the walk on tribal side with tracks like "21st Century" and "Drums Control."

These tracks balance out the diva anthems nicely by injecting harder and more underground cuts to the compilation. "21st Century" by Jonathan Ulysses vs Laurent C is one of the highlights of the disc. It has a thumping drum pattern and the vocalist is speaking right to the Rosabel's core audience. The lyrics say, "We are the 21st Century party people" and you know she is speaking right to us.

With the disc's closing tracks, Rosabel brings back those diva vocals by unleashing their Fireball remix of "Saving My Love" by Pat Hodges. "Saving My Love" is a great end-of-the-night track that is a perfect way to wind down the disc. However, Rosabel takes the energy back up by mixing into "Red Heels Studio" and ending with Evil Stepsister's "Desert Sands". Both of these tracks belong more in the peak hour section of the disc and by placing them at the end of the compilation, Ralphi and Abel leave you begging for more and searching for the nearest dancefloor.

Rosabel's Fireball Vol. 2 is your take-home version of the live Rosabel experience. Rosabel managed to encapsulate their circuit brand into a 74-minute compilation and brings listeners right under the Fireball's discoball.
