Taio Cruz "Ty.O"

His last disc he hit it big with songs that are good for taking a dirty picture, breaking hearts with Luda inspired verses, or the biggest hit for throwing up your hands in the air. Maybe he was living the life of a Rokstarr too frivolously because he opens his new disc with a 'Hangover.' The song is very catchy, but it seems like some of the verses were just thrown up, but what can you expect from a song about feeling like s#!+? Will the rest of the record get better before it ends or will the whole album be the composite of an audio hangover? At first, I was thinking ok, I heard this before in the delivery, eye roll; I'm a little 'troublemaker' aren't I? After I heard the chorus and the rest that followed I wanted to throw my hands up in the air again because it turned out better than expected. Pitbull joins Taio in an ode to a pop star, fighter, rock star, lover, thriller, killer and dancefloor filler in a type of song we have come to expect from Mr. Worldwide because of his love for  anthems like these.
I don't know if you can call Taio a "Shotcaller" that he proclaims to be in this song; because it seems that all of the studio tricks call the attention over Mr. Cruz's vocals. If we could "Make It Last Forever" then I think our face might freeze; I like the atmpospheric arpeggio as well as the digital blips married to the beat, and then who can forget the choir; as the pace slows down. This next song is one of those us against the world, impervious to harm as long as we're together, "World in our Hands" kind of songs that starts off nice with a guitar intro that leads into the club the size of a valley sound with a huge easy to sing-along-to chorus. This song's back beat and instrumentals are as bad-a-- as the delivery of Taio; It can be compared to a score of the post-apocalyptic zombie movie circa 2000s with pop sheen and a bridge that may house a digital zombie who wears a "Tattoo." How he got one? I have no clue. A song that is perfect for "play" with a beat that starts off dischordant and when he sings ...eh... I feel like I should take it off, but for the benefit of everyone else I won't. You're welcome. The beat stands in the forefront while keys and a subtle bass are then replaced by synthetic strings as the chorus comes, and back to the start; I feel like I'm living the good life as I listen to this song. This next song  is one I feel like "Telling the World" about, and should be a single; just listen to the first few seconds and you will know why. If you saw Rio then you probably heard it. I say R'n'B u2? David Guetta and Taio team up to take care of this "Little Bad Girl," but she's too much for them because Luda has to drop a verse as the beat clap its hands. I guess everybody deserves a "Second Chance" and listening to this track featuring Tinchy Stryder I feel that this record became more than an audio composite of a hangover, and had some better songs than I first thought: Troublemaker, Shotcaller, World in our Hands, Tattoo, Telling The World, Little Bad Girl,and Second Chance.
