    • All Music Guide Review

    Standing for "Route of Overcoming the Struggle," R.O.O.T.S. is Flo Rida's follow-up to Mail on Sunday, the album featuring megahit "Low." The autobiographical opener, "Finally Here," seems bemused by life's journey, and closer "Rewind" centers around a "turn back time" metaphor supported by Wyclef's pathos for hire. Of course, the reason you're here is for the numerous poptastic club tracks, all delivered in true ringtone rapper style. The Dead or Alive interpolating "Right Round" is "Low"'s heir apparent, an infectious single created by producer Doctor Luke (who previously worked for Lily Allen) plus Koool Kojak (who previously worked for Andy Milonakis). "Sugar" is shameless enough to "incorporate elements" of Eiffel 65's Euro-trash earworm "Blue (Da Ba Dee)." The upbeat call-and-response hook of "Jump" is delivered by an Auto-Tuned Nelly Furtado, and if you're expecting Fergie or Gwen Stefani to show up during this pop-rap spectacular, you instead get decent shots from Ne-Yo and Akon. R.O.O.T.S. is hip-hop like Nas never happened, an album owing more to Lady GaGa than to Public Enemy. If you enjoy the hook, you enjoy the song, and if you're headed to the club in a fine ride on a Friday night, you'll likely fall for some of what's on offer here.

    • R.O.O.T.S. (clean) Notes

    Poe Boy/Atlantic recording artist Flo Rida has made history with his blockbuster new single, "Right Round," shattering the all-time one-week digital single sales record previously held by his own game-changing debut, "Low (Feat. T-Pain)," not to mention marking the highest digital single debut ever. The track – featured on the Miami-based MC’s hugely anticipated new album, "R.O.O.T.S." – has sold over 636,000 downloads in the week since its February 10th release, far exceeding the record-setting 467,000 sales week of "Low" in January 2008.

    "R.O.O.T.S." – an acronym for "ROUTE OF OVERCOMING THE STRUGGLE" – arrives in stores and at all online retailers on March 31st. The album follows Flo Rida’s internationally successful debut, "MAIL ON SUNDAY," which made an explosive Top 5 entry onto the Billboard 200 upon its March 2008 release. As on the previous collection, "R.O.O.T.S." sees Flo Rida joining forces with an extraordinary array of A-list collaborators, featuring artists like Nelly Furtado, Ne-Yo, and Pleasure P, and including production from Jim Jonson, Dr. Luke, Eric Hudson, Mike Caren, and DJ Montay, who produced "Low."
