Taio has pulled another top drawer hook-up out of the bag for his brand new single ‘Dirty Picture’ which features non other than red hot new talent Ke$ha. Taken from his acclaimed album ‘Rokstarr’ the pair have put down a sound which has got critics crowing for more. The release date has been set for April 19th and they’ll be shooting a suitably (in)appropriate this week, Make sure you look out for some full on mixes from Red Top / Paul Thomas / K9 / Wizzy Wow Ft Scorcher hitting the clubs from next weekend too.
Meanwhile things are really hotting up for Taio across the pond with the news that his UK No.1 single "Break Your Heart" is really starting to happen in the US. Featuring the mighty Ludacris, ‘Break Your Heart’ has debuted at #38 on the Top 40 Rhythm Airplay chart and it’s a Breakout entry on the Billboard Dance Club chart having been played on over 50 major radio stations.
Don’t forget to tune in to the Brits tonight to see if Taio triumphs in the Best British Single category with his No.1 tune 'Break Your Heart'. You can watch the whole shebang live on ITV from 8pm and it should be well worth a watch with the likes of Jay-Z and Dizzee Rascal both scheduled to make an appearance. Meanwhile the fruits of Taio’s US labour are about to be unleashed with a brand new version of ‘Break Your Heart’ featuring Ludacris. Hear it on Taio’s myspace now and check back for video news.
Taio has had a crazy 7 days. Having landed in NY for promo he’s had a whistle-stop tour of the states stopping of at Philadelphia, Boston and Miami for a ton of radio interviews as well as hooking up with Ludacris and chilling at the Def Jam party. He’s back in the UK today and with ‘Break Your Heart’ looking good on US radio Taio is on top form. Fingers crossed for a win at the Brit Awards next week for Best British Single.
Hey Everyone,
Hey everyone,
I'm sitting in my hotel in Dublin getting ready for the Childline Show at the O2 and i thought i would give you guys a quick update.
Last week i was in the studio with Sandy Vee (who co-produced Sexy Chick by David Guetta ft. Akon) and Guy Chambers (who has worked with so many people i cannot even begin to list!) I also launched the new Facebook/twitter enabled XBox with Paloma Faith which was a great event! We both performed and also duetted together which was fun Check out the performance here.

Hey Everyone,
Hope you all had a great week……mine has been pretty hectic but really cool. I was in the studio this week with the fantastic Danja……for those who don’t know he produced “Promiscuous Girl” and “Say it Right” for Nelly Furtado and “What Goes Around…..Comes Around” and “My Love” For Justin along with a host of other great songs so that was really cool!! On Saturday I did a photo-shoot with Tinchy, Chipmunk, and N-Dubz which was a fun day……even though the early start on a Saturday morning WAS NOT FUN needless to say I had a few cups of tea to wake me up!!! Lol……I also did the Big Gig at Wembley Arena on Saturday night…..all I can say is OH MY GOODNESS….the crowd was incredible I nearly went deaf from the screams which was AWSOME and seeing 20 Thousand people singing my songs made me really happy….can’t wait to start my next tour, get ready for that in March 2010.

Hi everyone, its been a while since i’ve blogged as i have been doing loads of promotion, interviews and generally running around like a mad person, but the first thing i wanted to say was THANK YOU!!......you guys did your magic and went out and bought the single and made it number 1 for 3 weeks..... WOW is all i can say, when they told me it was number one i almost didn’t believe it......i mean i was driving and i actually had to stop and breathe for a second. It’s so awesome the fact that it stayed up there for that long show’s me how great my fans are.....LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
My schedule lately has been pretty hectic.....i finished the Album "Rokstarr", and as my fantastic fans will already know it was released on Monday.....if you haven’t brought it yet WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!??? lol...... I performed at the MOBO’s with the beautiful Keri Hilson, which was great (she is lovely) and I was also recently on the Xtra Factor which was good fun….it was great to meet all the contestants and i got to see the first live show which was cool, i have to say that my favourite contestant right now is Stacy Solomon she is really sweet and has a great voice. I’ve also been doing a lot of writing and have had the pleasure of being in the studio with Miss Kelly Rowland and also Ive been doing some writing for Kylie Minogue which was pretty exciting
