Taio Cruz Ringtones
About Taio CruzThe
true depth of Taio Cruz’
real talent as a vocal
artist is yet to be
seen. His career started
out behind the scenes as
he worked with the
biggest names in the UK
and US music industries
as a writer and
producer. His CV
includes collaborations
with a wide variety of
stars, from Sugababes to
Britney Spears. One of
his most recent
contributions to pop
music was Rihanna’s
current hit Umbrella,
which he helped write.
Writing and producing
amazing lyrics for other
stars is nothing new to
this newly found pop
star, but saving some of
the magic for his own
albums was only a dream
until 2006, when he was
discovered for his own
vocal talents. In
November of 2006 the
first single leading up
to his debut album was
released with remarkable
success. Over the next
two years five singles
hit the charts until
Departure finally
debuted on 17th March
2008.
Out of all of the prior
released singles, the
song Come on Girl was by
far the fan’s favourite,
hitting number 5 on the
UK Single’s Chart; just
shortly before the full
album was released. It
remains one of his
biggest hits so far and
shares the limelight
with the song album’s
title song Departure,
which was released as a
single at the same time
the album dropped in
2008. It also became a
top 5 favourite in the
UK.
What is remarkable about
Departure as a debut
album is not only that
it obtained certified
Gold status in the UK
within six months of its
release, but that every
track on the album was
written and produced by
Taio Cruz himself. This
is one inspiring artist
who has a vision for his
work and refuses to
settle for anything less
than the perfect
rendering of his views
and inspirations.
In 2008, all of that
hard work paid off as
Cruz hit the road for
his first tour as a hit
vocal artist. The tour
wrapped up in November
2008, leaving fans
waiting for the arrival
of his second album,
which is slated for
release on October 12th
2009. The title of this
album is Rokstarr, which
is reflective of the
rock undertones and
inspirations that the
artist has stated were
his inspirations for the
album.
Keane and Coldplay are
noted on the Taio Cruz
MySpace page as the
biggest influences on
the album, which hints
at the unique sounds the
album will deliver. So
far, only one song from
the soon coming album
has been released as a
single. Its title Break
Your Heart and it is
already topping the UK
charts.
Exactly how high on the
charts Taio Cruz can hit
and how big his
following around the
world can become is yet
to be seen, but if his
notoriety as a producer
and songwriter is any
reflection, there is no
stopping the rise of
this star.
