Taio Cruz Will Drive You Like A "Fast Car"

Taio Cruz goes for a drive in just-released misic video for his latest club jam, "Fast Car," which was chosen as the second single from his third U.S. studio album, "TY.O." The British pop star has been shifting to pop-ier material compared to his more R&B oriented days. "Fast Car" carries on the dance floor vibe he's been pursuing.

The 27-year-old boasting to his lady that he'll "drive you like a fast car," because women love being likened to inanimate objects on his latest release. The dance-pop track was co-produced by Max Martin and Klas Ahlund. It opens with a gentle melody and Cruz singing about an internal struggle, which makes it seem as though the tune might be a ballad. But soon enough, a light dance beat kicks in as the singer delivers the hook, "Girl you really turn me on, and I'll drive you like a fast car."
The vehicle metaphors continue in lines and the gist of the story is that Cruz wasn't looking for love, but it found him unexpectedly, and now he couldn't be happier. We appreciate the way the song deftly disguises a sappy message into a tougher-sounding track about cars, and its pleasant melody makes it a potential hit. Cruz drives the dance floor and over the roaring with his new production. Put the keys in the ignition and take off with Cruz.
In his new music video for "Fast Car," Cruz and his femme fatale costar have obvious chemistry, and even give us the inside scoop on their on-screen lip-lock. But is he a good kisser? You have to wait and see. The fast-paced video is sure to get your adrenaline going! We like the video and it is nice to see Cruz back in the music scene. Not quite as catchy as "Dynamite" or "Break My Heart," but we're anxious to see how the song does.
