Taio Cruz feat. Ke$ha – "Dirty Picture"

Posted by | Music, Pop Music | No Comments

This is the 3rd single from Taio Cruz feat. Ke$ha off of his album “Rokstarr”. I think this single is okay… not as good as “Break Your Heart”, but it’s pretty cool. I guess you can’t go wrong by throwing Ke$ha on your record. Apparently before Taio Cruz became a solo artist, he wrote and produced several songs for Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and the Pussycat Dolls.

So this record has been floating around for a little while now. This song started out as a leak from Lupe Fiasco’s album around December, which was initially supposed to be a single. Later, it was pulled from the blogs, and was put up on iTunes. Now it’s being serviced to radio again with a slightly altered beat and some additional instrumentation. Overall, it’s a good song. I hear that a remix with the Cool Kids is coming soon…
