Various Artists NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL CLUB HITS

NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL CLUB MUSIC is a bit of a different beast than the average NOW offering --while it contains practically every major jam of 2009, there's more of an adventurous feel here as it collects some of the best remixes of these familiar tracks. For those not averse to pulsating dance beats, this could be a bit of an odd treat, as many of the reinventions improve upon the originals. David Guetta works wonders with the Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow," making the way overplayed novelty smash sound new. Guetta's power-piano-pop-tweaking original "When Love Takes Over" shines in its own right. Crookers' re-imagining of Kid Cudi's "Day N' Nite" was actually the twist that propelled the somewhat obscure Detroit MC's otherworldly single into breakthrough smash territory. However, as either a quick-fix party mix or an intro to club life, this installment of NOW! does its workmanlike job.
