Taio Cruz writing songs for next Rihanna album
R&B singer Taio Cruz, who made it to number one in America with Break Your Heart, says he's written material for Rihanna's next album.
The star flew in to perform Dirty Picture with Ke$ha at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Bangor and said he hoped the songs were good enough.
"I just wrote a couple of songs for Rihanna recently," he said. "Whether it goes on her album or not, who knows? I've submitted the songs and hopefully they get on the album."
The singer shot to fame in America after achieving modest success with his first two albums in the UK. He's also produced hits for the likes of Cheryl Cole, JLS and Tinchy Stryder but says writing for Rihanna came naturally to him.
"It was pretty easy," he said. "I tried to encapsulate how confident she is and how beautiful she is, how sexy she is and how much of a superstar she is and just put that into a record.
"I think hopefully I've done that."
With a new track (Dynamite) out, album released on 1 June in America and a single also at number one in the US radio airplay chart, the 27-year-old Londoner is in demand on both sides of the Atlantic.
"Telephone"'s curiosities
In this short film that lasts almost ten minutes,'Telephone' continues the argument narrated in 'Paparazzi', another Lady GaGa's music video, where he was arrested for murder. Jonas Akerlund, the Swedish director who has directed other artist's videoclips like Madonna, made a plot in which Gaga acts up in and out of prison until he is saved by her friend and 'bad girl' Beyoncé, which helps her to escape. A short film where there is everything and nothing is spared in an elaborate staging with women, men and styles very much in "line Gaga".
I think it could be one of the best music videos of 2010 for its originality. Do you believe the same?
It isn't only a crazy video, but it has some pretty amazing things hidden in it:
- WINK AT STAR WARS
- "HOUSE OF GAGA", MISSPELLED
- "EIN", MISSPELLED
- THE NCIS' ROADSIDE RESTAURANT
- LADY GAGA'S SISTER
- WINK AT ANIME
- THERE'S A PORN-STAR
- THE PRISON'S NAME
- TELEPHONE LYRICS IN SWEDISH
- MS. MANN OF SCARY MOVIE

Summer "eclipse" to the rhythm of Muse
Edward, Bella and Jacob, of course, come back to the big screen again after breaking all records so far in selling books, DVDs and soundtracks. The Twilight saga is a money machine and everything that bears his stamp turns to gold. Nobody in the entertainment industry wants to risk this passion cools down too soon, so that's the reason why 'Eclipse' comes to cinemas on June 30, with a difference of less than a year since the premiere 'New Moon'
Following the strategy of previous installments, some weeks before the film premiere we already know the song list and the first extract from the soundtrack, included the British band Muse's new song (authoress', Stephanie Meyers, favourite band), "Love is forever" wich is inside the theme "Neutron Star Collision".
Music has played a key role in two previous films. The themes, of various groups, have helped to create this environment something gothic, alternative and even some dark shadowy landscapes of Forks, the rainiest town in United States and, therefore, the perfect hiding place for vampires, always reluctant to show itself at sunlight. Both 'Twilight' and 'New Moon' have helped to know public about indie groups like Paramore and Linkin Park. In turn, disks have been a golden opportunity to promote the release of each films in musical hits, besides being a sure success on iTunes, YouTube and Spotify.
To enjoy 'Eclipse' we have to wait until June 30, shortly before (June 8) we will buy the soundtrack in all its forms.
Vampire fever returns! Or it never went away?
