Album Review: C’mon And Give It by D’Stephanie ft MC Philippo
Alright, let’s talk about C’mon And Give It. This little gem from Belgium is a banger that blends Electronic vibes with Funk/Soul swagger. Produced and written by Stephanie D’Olieslager (shoutout to her for wearing multiple hats), it’s got that perfect mix of Breaks, House, and good ol’ Funk to keep your feet moving. The vocals? Smooth as butter, thanks to Philippo Fierens. Let’s dive into what makes this album stick in my head.
First up, the title track, "C’mon And Give It (Album Version)." Man, this one hits different. From the opening beat, you can tell Stephanie knows how to craft a groove. It’s not just another dance track—it feels alive, like it has its own heartbeat. Philippo’s voice slides over the rhythm so effortlessly, and those funky basslines? Chef’s kiss. There’s something raw about the album version that feels more authentic than the polished radio edit. Maybe it’s the way the breaks build up or how the synths swirl around you—it’s hypnotic without trying too hard. Honestly, I found myself zoning out while listening, picturing neon lights and late-night drives. You know, the kind where time doesn’t exist anymore.
Then there’s the "Radio Edit" of the same track. Now, don’t get me wrong—I usually roll my eyes at radio edits because they often feel watered down. But here? It works. They trimmed some fat but kept all the flavor. It’s tighter, punchier, and honestly super catchy. If you’re someone who digs music on shuffle, this version will slap even if you’re only half paying attention. Plus, it’s proof that sometimes less really is more.
What strikes me most about this project is how cohesive it feels despite having only two tracks. Stephanie didn’t overload us with filler; she gave us exactly what we needed and let the music speak for itself. That takes confidence, and it pays off big time. Oh, and props to the label Format for backing something so fresh and unpretentious.
So yeah, C’mon And Give It isn’t gonna change your life or anything, but it’ll definitely make your day better. Whether you’re cleaning the house, cruising in your car, or just vibing solo, these tunes have got your back. And hey, fun fact: every time I hear it now, I picture a Belgian dancefloor full of people losing their minds to this thing. Pretty sure that’s a vibe worth chasing.
Peace out, and go hit play already!
