Taio Cruz chats to I Like Music
Taio Cruz, the 23 year-old writer/producer/artist who has cut a swathe through the upper reaches of the American music industry with Dallas Austin singling him out as "the new Babyface", has his new single Come On Girl released on March 3rd through Universal Records.
I Like Music caught up with TAIO CRUZ to talk about his new album and single, swapping beats with Timbaland and producing for Daniel Merriweather, plus getting the call from the head of Motown Records.
" I Like Music because.... it's my life and it's the air that I breathe. It calms me when I'm feeling uptight and it's there for me when I want to party if I want to listen to something up tempo, it's just amazing in any situation. That's why I like music!" TAIO CRUZ
ILM: Come On Girl is out on March 3rd. Please describe the track and its whole vibe?
TAIO: I produced it after going out and listening to a lot of electro house. I just wanted to create something that was in that vein, so when I got to the studio I got the house drums out and threw in a bit of old school 80s electro rave synth as well, and then on top of that I'd add a soulful vocal and add a topic that people can relate to while they're out partying, and write it about how people feel when you see a girl in a club and you don't want to say the wrong thing to her, so you kind of formulate what you're going to say before you walk up to her, so you don't make that mistake.
