The third album from U.K. hit maker Taio ‘Rockstarr’, ‘Dynamite’ Cruz, falls once again into the dance territory, with Taio bringing along a galaxy of stars to partner with on the album. Taio has named his album TY.O due to the fact that many pronounce his name wrongly.

Onto the album we have Hangover with rapper Flo Rida which is the highlight out here. The opener is a pretty catchy song, which reveals itself to show what else is available on the album. Produced by Dr. Luke, the song is based on a wild party happening on an island and puts you in a dancing mood instantly. There’s also the very addictive Little Bad Girl featuring David Guetta and Ludacris among the playlist of 11 tracks. The song also appeared on producer David Guetta's ‘Nothing but the Beat’ album. There’s also the scorching Troublemaker, followed by spin master Pitbull who brings in his mastery on There she goes. On the heavily dub step-driven Shotcaller the dance master adds infectious choruses and thumping beats.

Cruzhas established himself as one of the world’s most sought after writer/producers and has his finger on the pulse of making dance music to perfection, by not only co – writing, but also co – producing almost all songs.

Taio also adds two ballads You’re Beautiful slightly R & B with easy piano work and a slightly heavy ballad Telling the world both very appealing.
