Taio Cruz has taken America by storm as his debut US single “Break Your Heart” has vaulted to # 1 on the US iTunes chart today. This is an astonishing achievement for the multi-talented artist/writer/super producer as the single is his first release in the United States.
The success of “Break Your Heart” follows hard on the heels of the recent US success of Island /Cash Money’s Jay Sean, whose single “Down” topped the US Billboard chart in October 2009. “Break Your Heart”, which was recently nominated for a Brit Award, entered the UK singles chart at no. 1 where it remained for 3 weeks.
Now Taio sets his sights on the UK chart once more with the release of his brand new single “Dirty Picture” featuring the red-hot miss Tik Tok herself Ke$ha. Ever the keen talent scout Taio invited Ke$ha onto the track long before she broke through in the US, and the resulting presciently titled song has been one of the most cherry-picked on Cruz’s acclaimed second album “Rokstarr”. The pair have just shot a suitably (in)appropriate video for the track.
A remix of “Dirty Picture” featuring DRAKE, the hottest rapper in the US right now, will be available shortly.
