Hot Video Alert: Enrique Iglesias feat. Ludacris & DJ Frank E - Tonight (I'm Loving You)

I love that the email with the link to the new Enrique Iglesias video came with this warning:

The new NSFW version by Enrique Iglesias feat. Ludacris "Tonight..." is now online on the VEVO platform. If you have not heard the buzz around this video, please make sure you are in a safe place before watching - very NSFW!

"NSFW" indeed! Oopsie! I definitely sent it around the office today. Oh well.  Let me just reemphasize...the video is NOT SAFE FOR WORK.  OK. Moving on.

The smoking hot video for "Tonight (I'm Loving You)" was directed by BBGUN and Parris and starts out with Enrique Iglesias walking into a strip club slash S&M bar slash dance club.  Enrique has his eye on a lovely lady sitting across the room in a big thrown like arm chair. Of course, seeing that he's Enrique Iglesias, he gets the girl and proceeds to have his way with her in the club bathroom - keeping it classy.

CUT TO Ludacris in a cab surrounded by beautiful ladies in the backseat.  Old timer is playing some old timer song on the radio and Luda asks him to change the station. Whoa-oh! What do ya know? Radio station changes and guess what song is playing? I'll give you one guess...Luda does his guest rap and then we're in Mexico where Enrique is supposedly waiting for his lovely strip club hook up hottie.  Of course, while waiting for the brunette to arrive Enrique meets up with a pretty blonde. An orgy follows, followed by Enrique and some ladies on a boat in the middle of the ocean.  By this point I'm completely lost and probably infected with some sort of STD which I transmitted through my computer screen....or is that not why I'm burning up?  Whatever...the song still has me moving to the beat.  It's a very provocative video to say the least. As my co-worker so eloquently put it, "Lucky girl."

Taken from Enrique Iglesias' ninth studio album, Euphoria, "Tonight (I'm Loving You)" is an infectious synthy dance/pop smash co-written by Iglesias and produced by DJ Frank E.  The song peaked at #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #29 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart.  The sleazyfied video, while over the top, is the perfect complement to this dance floor romp.  Download your copy of the single on iTunes now (HERE) and look out for some hot club remixes by Dresden & Johnston, available now on Masterbeat (HERE).  There's also an official remix featuring Pitbull.  The single is out in the UK on January 31st.

Hot Video Alert: Taio Cruz feat. Kylie Minogue & Travie McCoy - Higher

I hate when record labels do this, release two versions of the same song for different geographic regions, as they are doing now with the new Taio Cruz single, "Higher." I understand WHY they do it I just hate that they have to do it.  Kylie Minogue is an international singing sensation yet CLEARLY not a big enough draw here in America to be included in the U.S. release of Cruz' 5th single off of Rokstarr.  For the single's North American release we have Travie McCoy, of Gym Class Heroes fame, doing a guest rap.  All bitterness aside, I kind of like Travie's contribution. I'm BEYOND thrilled that he and Kylie are not doing the same bit, rather, Travie does a guest rap and Kylie actually sings with Taio in the song.  The videos are virtually identical - so much so that in a couple of scenes it looks as if Kylie was just digitally removed.  The videos both feature Taio driving around in a car (or being driven around) and standing around in some huge, cavernous underground parking garage.  In Kylie's version of the video, Minogue is writhes sexily in the backseat of another car and on the hood of a parked car, where in Travie's version there is no writhing or dancing. He just does his thing in the back of a car or standing in front of a car with Cruz, looking "gangsta." It's a slick video (directed by Alex Herron) no matter how you cut it and who you put it in it.  I'd love to see a version of the video with both McCoy AND Minogue. That would be hot.

Take a look at the two versions of video below and let me know which one you prefer.  I'm leaning more towards Kylie but Travie's version is growing on me. Oh and if anyone has the Flemish version of the single with Dutch/Flemish girl group K3, I'd love to hear what that sounds like too! U.S. fans can download "Higher" featuring Travie McCoy now on iTunes (HERE) and pick up a copy of Taio Cruz's album on iTunes HERE.  "Higher" featuring Kylie Minogue is out February 7th in the UK.
