Today's Pick

After whipping the studio audience into a frenzy with an electrifying performance of his hit single "In My Head" on American Idol April 7, red-hot pop sensation Jason Derülo is gearing up to release JR Rotem-produced new third single, "Ridin' Solo," to pop radio last Wednesday, and now premiered the video for his new single off his self-titled eponymous debut album, which has been made available for purchase across US since March 2. "Ridin' Solo" is originally sampled "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve, however the sample was not cleared and was subsequently replaced with electronic motifs which are featured throughout the entire song.
The Miami-born Derülo has quickly established himself as one of the breakout stars of 2010. With the triple-platinum "Whatcha Say" and the platinum "In My Head," the rising star became the first male solo artist to score consecutive No.1's on Billboard's Pop Songs radio airplay chart in the chart's 17-year-history with his first two entries. "Ridin' Solo" is another catchy, party feelin' track, and will officially hit airwaves on May 11 in US and May 31 in UK, respectively. I'm sure the Beluga Heights recording artist has amassed now a solid fan base that will make this new single at least a Top 20 hit.
The 20-year-old artist gets over his broken heart and all sensitive as he tickles the ivories in his new video. He go from lamenting a lost love to realizing that it's his time to shine and being single when you're blowing up the charts isn't such a bad thing after all. He goes to club, singing and dancing like there is no tomorrow, and takes the literal approach to the track as the beat kicks in, leading him to break it down on the dancing tip as he gets his Michael Jackson on in front of a wide screen of flashing lights. But he doesn't ride solo for long, taking it to the club where a pair of girls log on to PlentyofFish.com on their Apple iPad. Soon, Derülo grabs the ladies and hops into the whip before riding out the track.
