Showcasing Ludacris’s inimitable style Def Jam release ‘Girls Gone Wild’/ ‘Runaway Love’ (feat Mary J. Blige) on the 12th February 2007.‘Girls Gone Wild’ is one of the standout moments from Ludacris’s latest album ‘Release Therapy’. As one of the ‘therapy’ songs ‘Girls Gone Wild’ sees Ludacris cut loose ably assisted by The Neptunes on production duties. Pharrell and Chad utilize a sleek futuristic groove and heavy percussion as Ludacris supplies his unique sublime rap delivery to make this an instant club anthem from the undisputed king of the dirty south. The mobile network 3 picked Ludacris for their incredibly successful Front Room series of events which saw him perform at London’s Café De Paris in December of 2006. The video for ‘Girls Gone Wild’ incorporates this performance in its narrative.‘Runaway Love’ sees Ludacris team up with the legendary Mary J. Blige on a track which sees a departure from the humour and club anthems that have become his trademark. The track is a testament to his intent to be seen as more than a party man. The pretty, melancholic beat from Polow underpins the track as Ludacris tackles violence against young women and details the tragic tales of young girls that flee their homes to escape the pain they are subjected to. It is a milestone track for Ludacris. Both Ludacris and Mary J. Blige deliver stunning performances and the emotional, moving video adds to the power of the track.
Ludacris is a man of many talents whose recent performances in the Oscar winning Crash and Hustle & Flow have added to his growing reputation as an actor. Ludacris and Mary J. Blige Runaway Love
