When you have delivered two of the biggest pop tracks of the past few years then the pressure is on to get the next one. Taio has come a long way since he first he hit the charts with Come On Girl; we've had the phenominal global #1s Break Your Heart and Dynamite. Here we are, in the build up to the release of album number three and there certainly have been plenty of demos floating around. One rather good track Believe Me Now got a bit of circulation on a few mix-tapes earlier this year but it didn't seem to get a release. These two tracks see Taio jump hot on the heels of Enrique down the very generic yet successful sounding RedOne route.
There She Goes: (Feat. Pitbull)
This RedOne produced track sits very well with some of the massive hits of 2011: On The Floor and Give Me Everything. It also has the common denominator of featuring Pitbull; so make of that what you will but he is exactly how you would expect. Later the track introduces the sort of synths you might recognize from Enrique's Tonight (I'm F**kin You). The production here is the key element, really going all guns blazing to make sure that it will get you on the dance floor - or just have you nodding your head along on your headphones. Unfortunately it falls shorts of being Dynamite part 2 but it is a good attempt.
Hangover: (Feat. Flo Rida)
This has just been released to US itunes as the actual lead for the album. Right from the opening 'Whaoooohooaah!' this song has you hooked. From my personal experience being hungover is never as fun as Taio is leading us to believe. 'So I can go until I blow up (hey); and I can drink until I throw up (ay)' Oh Taio you make it all sound so fun!
This track is very much a bit of a party anthem, much like a very polished and meticulously refined version of Rihanna's Cheers (Drink To That). I just can't really take Flo Rida seriously; whenever a song breaks into one of his raps I almost have to laugh at how much it cheapens it. If only he put as much effort into his music as he did whoring himself out to producers (RedOne and Guetta) then I'd be a bit more interested to see what he has to offer. However, when this get its UK release I can see the track going nicely top 5.
