Pop trivia time - Londoner Taio Cruz was
meant to record Umbrella before Jay-Z
heard it, half-inched it and offered it to
stable-mate Rihanna to transform into
the song of last summer.
How he must
be regretting the one that got away,
because instead of basking in the glow
of one of the most successful singles of
recent years, Taio is being forced to
churn out rubbish like this.
I Can Be is
everything that Umbrella was not - dull
and uninspired RnB by numbers. Even
the presence of Estelle, a talented artist
who should really know better, is
insufficient to save it.
