Jason Derulo - Fight for You
Artist: Jason Derulo
Producer: RedOne, BeatGeek and Geo Slam
Album: Future History
Label: Warner Bros. Records Inc.
If I had to draft a list of corny 1980’s hits that I’m guaranteed to blast at high volume whenever they come on the radio… actually, that would be an extremely long list. Somewhere near the top, though, would be Toto’s classic Africa, a record so catchy that it’s a wonder it has yet to receive a modern makeover. Until now—on potential single Fight for You, Beluga Heights/Warner Bros. crooner Jason Derulo hooks up with a few savvy producers to turn the ‘82 single into club-pop gold. Over RedOne, BeatGeek and Geo Slam‘s beat, an amped-up pastiche of the source material’s most memorable moments, the Miami native assures a special girl that he’d battle his way through “a hundred men or more” to keep her by his side. With a crowd-pleasing theme and a time-tested hook, this cut seems like a shoo-in for heavy dancefloor and radio rotation. Or do I have it twisted? Debate away—and, if you haven’t already, plan a trip to your local record store to pick up Jason Derulo’s sophomore set, Future History, available in stores and online as of September 16.

Jason gets a 0 on originality (this is way to close to the original source material for me and its not better), but the execution is there. The mainstream pop-appeal is there and radio doesn't care much these days about anything related to originality.

DeRülo's new album is basically a rip-off of every possible old 80's/90's-dance hit. But he manages to rework them into catchy solid radio gold.

I don't really like this track. It sounds super-commercial all around. I'll be turning this song off every time it comes on the radio... Delivery is just so-so and the production is nothing new.

some people need to understand the concept of the album, its called "future history" , read between the lines, it no coincidence that he is reworking 80,90s songs, it works for mainstream success and all these singles will own the billboard....
