Taio Cruz: 'Break Your Heart'

It's anyone's guess how Taio Cruz finds the time to fulfill his own musical endeavours. Having already written hits for Will Young and Tinchy Stryder, he's now rumoured to be working on material for Leona, Kylie and Cheryl Cole. Still, 18 months after releasing his breakthrough album Departure, the 24-year-old is back with the first offering from his follow-up.

Striking while the Europop iron is still red hot, 'Break Your Heart' is an urban club banger that lands somewhere between a softer Tinchy and a more melodic Akon. "I'm only going to break, break your heart," Cruz warns a potential suitor over a backdrop of stomping beats and shimmering synths. This might not be hugely original, but thanks to a fiercely hypnotic chorus that grabs you instantly, it's clear why Cruz has become one of the hottest collaborators of the moment.
