Ever since the founding fathers decided to revolt against the crown Americans have been suspicious of anything coming from the U.K., but just like The Beatles and Rolling Stones in the ‘60s, a new generation of English musicians are poised to invade our shores, starting with the consistently Booth approved Taio Cruz. Cruz’ latest offering Break Your Heart (Remix) was a number one hit in the U.K., and while I’m not sure it will find that same level of success in the States, it’s hard not to enjoy a track featuring some pop/house based production from Cruz himself, microphone contributions from the always solid Ludacris (who submits a mediocre performance by his standards) and of course some supremely smooth vocals from Cruz. In short, I’ve got no doubt that plenty of hearts will end up broken on both sides of the Atlantic after this one. For more internationally recognized hits be sure to pick up a copy of Cruz’ latest album RokStarr, available now.

talk bout a step down from the original. Luda did nothin on this track. Taio still sounds sick. the orig is far better with jus Taio. i gotta give it 4 stars for the orig tho.

Taio has been on our radar for three years and he has done nothing but impress. Dude writes, produces and records all his own material. Yes, in this day in age we call that amazing.
Cruz set the clubs on fire in the UK with this one - Luda should help infiltrate the clubs here (hopefully).  DJ Booth on Twitter |

Believe it or not, I was actually listening to the original for the first time (I stumbled upon it when I heard its one thing between "Empire State of Mind" at the number one spot in the U.K.) when I saw the remix and, considering Ludacris is my all time favorite artist, you can imagine how excited I was to see this. This song has done HUGE things over seas and I don't see why it wouldn't do the same in the U.S.
I just hope Luda is on the official US radio release because he's been off mainstream radio for far too long. Anyways, the remix could certainly benefit from a bit more Luda but his short verse is enjoyable enough for me to give this a 4.5. (The original is a solid 4) The production is crazy on this and Taio Cruz is officially on my radio; insanely catchy lyrics and chorus. Near-Classic. |

Luda only spit like 8 lines split into two sections. I actually kinda like this style of feature though. It keeps the focus on Cruz. Ultimately though, this is just the same-old-same-old. 2 for Cruz's originality + 1 for Luda.

I've been a fan of Taio since his first album Departure, and all three singles from Rokstarr have been great.
Not sure what Luda's doing on here—an odd pairing made worse by his mediocre bars. I don't think Taio needed him to make headway in the States, but after Jay Sean blew up with Lil Wayne on the track, I'm sure every UK R&B cat will follow in suit. Hope this gains some traction. |

Black Eyed Peas, Kanye West, Jay-Z, even Three 6 Mafia, all of em are drawing influence from Europe. Their music isn't hard, but it works in clubs, depending on which ones you go to.

ahhhhh! I'm going crazy with all this bullsh*t! I know, I know, I know they work hard on their music, they make what people want. Maybe its my fault. I should avoid listening to songs in the pop category. Luda saved my sanity.

Being from the UK I have seen this song blow up once already and had high hopes for the remix. With that been said, ludacris disappoints with a forgettable guest verse.

Damn! I couldn't believe that I had never heard it before with it being #1 on UK charts. Nice dance-floor ready beat that just urges you to get on your feet to dance along. And then, short but pretty worth it! touches from Ludacris goes a long way in my book to decide the overall rating for a joint... BANGER!!!

two stars is not because ludacris didnt deliver. The song is just not that great to begin with, and when you dont give ludacris anytime to spit(which he didnt) it doesnt help the song.

Opening with Luda guarantees a listen. I like the club sound. I should rate this as a classic just because homie layed it all out honestly (I'm only gonna break your heart). You gotta love that. For centuries women have been asking men to be honest with them. All around good joint to dance to.

I change my mind. I absolutely love this song! Luda does nothing to deteriorate the song, and nothing to boost it either. It's already blown up on the iTunes charts, debuted at 53 on the Billboard 100, and hopefully within the next few weeks, subsequently in the US charts, especially rhythmic and dance. I wanna see Taio blow up in America as he has in the UK.

Im a Taio Cruz fan, though this isnt his best song. Luda's verse is good, but not great. The production is reasonably good.
In my opinion its a worthy top 10 song, though not a number 1 record... obviously my opinion is wrong though |
