Most notable thing about the project? Whitney Tai's debut album (which will include "To Be Loved") is targeted for a release towards the end of the summer. Whitney has very strong vocals, which is a testament to how she has been able to gain such a following with only 1 song having been officially released. She undoubtedly has enough talent to compete with any major artist out there.
Would you buy this project? If this is a sign to come, then I would absolutely buy the project.
Suggestions to better project? It's hard to make suggestions at this time with only one single to go off of. I hope that she continues with the Dance Pop songs, but also maybe songs that give her a chance to show more range, as well.
Provide a summary of your thoughts concerning this track/album: The track is actually very unique, in some ways, it almost feels like a call back to 90's dance pop songs (it vaguely reminds me of Jennifer Lopez's smash, "Waiting For Tonight).
The lyrics are surprisingly kind of dark for a Dance song, which in turn, makes the song that much more accessible, as it definitely strays from a typical, cookie-cutter format. While I wouldn't call it the most lyrical song, it does a great job of hitting it's target with the words and cadences chosen.
The production is very on target, as is the sound quality. But Whitney's vocals are definitely the star of this track. Her voice is strong, clear, and manages to even be uplifting during the chorus, giving legitimacy to a Dance track that has pretty dark lyrics otherwise. I can't wait to hear the different ways she shows off that voice of hers in future songs.


As far as looks, style, and outright vocal ability, Whitney seems poised to have a shot at super stardom.
