It's been a busy week in the music world as the releases come thick and fast. Good news for Mainstream Monday as it makes its return. Here's my take on the latest: Calvin Harris is back and he's no longer stuck in [...]
What have I been playing over the last few months (a.k.a. trying to do some degree of catching up) that I haven't mentioned here yet? David Guetta feat. Akon, "Sexy Bitch" : "When Love Takes Over" is great. "Sexy Bitch" is even better. Speaks straight to the hips better than any song this year so far. Pitbull, "Hotel Room Service" : Pitbull should be mad at Guetta for taking that title from "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)," but he's probably too busy celebrating making a song [...]

Check out the new single from Taio Cruz below, Break Your Heart . It's the lead single off the London-based singer's upcoming sophomore album "T.W.O. (This Way Out)." It's an unashamedly "pop record" ( "I'm only gonna break break ya break break ya heart" x 4, QED) and Taio Cruz is unashamedly a "pop star" (he participates in a boat party in the song's video, QED). "T.W.O" is the follow up to his debut "Departure" (which contained the absolutely brilliant Come On Girl , one of the best songs of 08, and [...]
OMFG Taio Cruz video. The video is pretty much the same as "Come On Girl" which i was watching earlier. I still love the song though to bits. I love his accent at the beginning though. On the video it's quite nice to be honest, seems well directed and looks good. I'll post a link to the radio rip still as I think you should all buy this song. Taio Cruz - Break Your Heart
photo: ecstaticist It's very rare I get so excited over a song, I Google it around every 5 minutes to check if a better version has leaked. However, I found myself doing this as soon as I heard Taio Cruz's new song, "Break Your Heart." I mentioned him in my last post totally unaware he has a new song out on the radio but I just love it. Simple as. There's been a really low quality rip floating around with no DJ, however I prefer it a bit better and with a little bit [...]
Ever since I heard Tinchy Stryder's new single, Take Me Back , I've been wondering who does the production work on the song, turns out his name is Taio Cruz , a producer, singer, and songwriter from England. This guys is in Demand. He is currently working with producer Jim Beanz , on new music for Britney, Brandy and Justin Timberlake This guys has some smooth beats, last year he released his album Departure . The album is a nice mix of upbeat Dancy R&B tracks and slower R&B jams. The music [...]
This song is amazing. Take Me Back , from "the Prince of Grime" Tinchy Stryder and smooth R&B crooner Taio Cruz, is currently blowing up in the UK, as it should! It's a dance floor banga with a sick flow... blast this at yo basement blowout. Ch-ch-check it out below! Take Me Back- Tinchy Stryder ft. Taio Cruz
I just wanna turn you, me into an USSS British singer Taio Cruz started out his professional musical life as a songwriter, penning Will Young's "Your Game," before starting on his solo career in 2007 with two singles. "Come On Girl" was his third single and first released in 2008. Up-tempo R&B-pop with an electro edge--sounds like a familiar combination recently, doesn't it? But I really mean electro here, and not just dance; there's something sharp and punchy about [...]
What is Shayne Ward doing these days? Working on songs for his new album. So far , he's already worked with Taio Cruz (with whom he wrote a song he calls "a BIG TUNE;" Simon Cowell apparently recruited Taio to work with both Shayne and Leona, and Taio, who says they've done four songs together, says that "It's just a cooler sound for him, in the way that Justin Timberlake broke out of that typical pop and moved it forward to a cooler element"), Future Cut (Darren [...]
I was one of them very few skeptics of the former Aftershox member Tinie Tempah when the Wifey-riddim got huge a couple of years ago. I thought, well, ok, decent tune, but nothing more than decent, guess it was too slow or something. Thought the same thing on the first plays of his new single Tears from the "Hood Economics" mixtape. The high pitch...
Lucy will be the outlet for our more mainstream music tastes. Lucy is the bully of the Peanuts strip; always the antagonist, she's constantly picking on poor Charlie Brown (he never gets to kick that football!) and always vying for the affection of Shroeder, the piano aficionado who steals her heart. We imagine that her music tastes would border on the more radio friendly... and we love that! We love a good, trashy pop song as much as the next guy! Taio Cruz is a new artist who has put out a few nice tracks. Come On Girl [...]
