Flo Rida Debuts "How I Feel"

posted in: Music News • Pop • Urban

Flo Rida may not be the first emcee who comes to mind when considering hip-hop’s finest, but there is no denying his power to win over Top 40 listeners. Each track he’s released, whether or not embraced by the urban community, has found its way into heavy rotation at radio, and we have a feeling the same will be the case for his new single, “How I Feel.”

Built on a killer sample of Nina Simone‘s “Feeling Good,” which many people may recognize as one of the bigger samples on 2012’s Watch The Throne, “How I Feel” pulses with a four-on-the-floor stomp, and despite a forgettable lyric, is a compelling dance floor filler. You can stream the single below.

They say you shouldn’t try to fix what isn’t broken, and as his career grows it seems Flo Rida is taking that sentiment to heart. With little hope of becoming one of the genre’s great lyricists, he seems to strive simply to make feel good music. He’s accomplished that task many times over in the past, and “How I Feel” serves as proof he still has a lot of heat left to deliver.

No word yet on when Flo Rida will drop a new album, but those wanting to add “How I Feel” to their personal collection can do so when the single arrives on iTunes October 28th.
