Jason Derülo Debuts "The Sky's The Limit" Video

The man with the most famous catch phrase in pop music, Jason Derülo, is back with yet another video for his new J.R. Rotem produced single "The Sky's The Limit," which is not an official fifth single from Derülo's self-titled debut album, which spawned the certified hit single "Ridin' Solo," "In My Head" and "Whatcha Say." Derülo co-wrote this track with hit-maker Evan Bogart, and the song borrows part of Irene Cara's 1983 chart-topper "Flashdance (What a Feeling)" for its melody. Or did he steal borrow the concept from watching Scottish singer Alex Gardner's video for "I'm Not Mad"?
Derülo definitely doesn't rest on his laurels. If he released only two months ago, "What If" as the fourth single from his debut self-titled album, Derülo is now gearing up for the release of the fifth single and the chosen song is "The Sky's The Limit." He actually announced the news via Twitter in mid-September and even stated that a new music video would be soon premiered. Well here it is! Personally, I really like this track, it was single-worthy to my ears, and should have been the follow-up to "Ridin' Solo" instead of "What If". But seems Derüloo's label really wanted to tone things down with a ballad. Anyhow, I'm happy now to see "The Sky's The Limit" receiving single treatment.
The video is another typical light show, featuring a beautiful female dancer and Derülo wearing a really epic laser jacket while singing and dancing. Derülo pays a visit to the electric funhouse in his video for the synth-heavy "The Sky's the Limit," and dancing in a room filled with mirrors and fluorescent light bulbs, the Miami native shoots lasers out of his outfit when the lights cut off. This was an interesting visual. However, while I appreciate the laser show and the light reflections, I remain unamused by Derülo's constant attempt at recreating what was done by Michael Jackson. Still, this was a respectable effort. You're pretty much looking at the "Derülo dances with many mirrors" show, which actually isn't so bad since Derülo is a fine dancer.
A Haitian American singer-songwriter, dancer, choreographer, producer and actor, Derülo belongs to a new breed of multi-hyphenate artists who know no creative boundaries. Derülo was just another artist on MySpace, until he was discovered by power producer J. R. Rotem a few years ago and skyrocketed into pop fame. Derülo has set his sights high. "I don't want to stay in a box," he says. "I want all the love!" Derülo is clearly "the next big thing. His songs are catchy and unique. In this copycat age, Derülo's tracks have garnered him a distinct sound among the many new male pop acts today. Derülo's latest effort, "The Sky's The Limit," sticks with his already working formula of pop music with uptempo beats. Fans have grown to embrace and support his sound - especially in the U.K. where three of his singles have hit No.1 on the charts.
