Taio Cruz releases his brand new single No Other One

Taio Cruz, who spent three weeks at number 1 with his smash single Break Your Heart, has his brand new single No Other One released on 30 November through Universal Records.

Written, arranged and produced by Taio, No Other One is taken from UK’s very own red-hot super producer’s brand new acclaimed second album, ROKSTARR. The enormous success of Break Your Heart has firmly established the 26 year-old Londoner as a genuine solo artist in his own right.

Rokstarr features the number 1 smash as well his Top 3 collaboration with Tinchy Stryder Take You Back. Special guests on the album will include superhot rising US star Ke$ha and Tinchy Stryder. Written, produced and arranged by the multi-talented Cruz the twelve track set also features Dirty Picture, I’ll Never Love Again, Only You, Feel Again and the UK Bonus track The 11^th Hour.

Although Break Your Heart is his first solo release this year, Taio has already enjoyed an extremely productive and successful 2009. As well as completing work on Rokstarr, the follow up to the 150,000 selling debut Departure, Taio has been writing and producing for Cheryl Cole’s feverishly anticipated new record, has scored his second number 1 UK single having written the Tinchy Stryder/Amelle smash Never Leave You, as well as writing and performing on Tinchy’s earlier top 3 smash Take You Back.

Break Your Heart is Taio’s first solo release since exploding onto the UK scene with the massive chart smashes Come On Girl and I Can Be, both taken from his Gold-selling debut album Departure. The critical and commercial success of the singles and album quickly established Cruz as one of the most exciting British artists to emerge in recent years. In the last two years Taio’s writing and production skills have been enlisted by among others the Sugababes, Leona Lewis, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Pussycat Dolls, JLS, Anastacia, Alexandra Burke and many more, while Simon Cowell  called Departure “one of the best albums of 2008”.

Prior to the release and success of Departure, Taio was already a major player in the US with super producer Dallas Austin singling him out as “the new Babyface”. Living and working in the US he had cut his teeth writing and recording with the likes of Tricky Stewart, the man behind Rihanna’s Umbrella. In fact the song was originally earmarked for Taio to perform, until Jay-Z heard it, offered it to Rhianna and the rest as they say …. Taio’s transatlantic work continued with the London wunderkind writing & producing for a string of A list artists. Quickly recognised as THE go-to writer/producer in the UK, Taio has since worked with some of the UK’s biggest names while writing and recording aerial for his second album.

The success of the number 1 single, whose video has now received an astonishing 1.3 million views on YouTube, and the imminent release of the new album, offers further proof, if proof were needed, that in Taio Cruz, the UK has its very own top–drawer artist/songwriter/producer who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best that American pop has to offer.
