Hot Video Alert: Mohombi feat. Akon - Dirty Situation


Singer/songwriter and RedOne protege Mohombi is back with his third single, "Dirty Situation," featuring Akon on guest duties. Anyone getting a sense of deja vu here? It all sounds very "Taio Cruz" to me here, not that it's a bad thing. Taio Cruz knows a little bit about hits, considering he's successfully crossed over from the UK with #1 and #2 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 ("Break Your Heart," "Dynamite") not to mention a Top Ten album on the Billboard 200 chart. Mohombi, on the other hand has yet to taste any U.S. success. First single, "Bumpy Ride" (which I posted about HERE) failed to impact the charts here in the States. While it did well elsewhere in Europe, his official debut single in the UK, "Miss Me" featuring American rapper Nelly only managed to squeak by at #66 on the official single charts. Here's hoping that trusty rapper Akon does the trick with single #3. So far...not so good.  Released in Europe in November, "Dirty Situation" has only managed to peak at #39 and #92 in Poland and The Netherlands respectively. Yikes.

Mohombi is signed to RedOne's 2101 Records, a joint venture with Universal. His debut album Movemeant is due out in 2011. U.S. fans pick up Mohombi's "Bumpy Ride" on iTunes. The single version is available HERE OR get the remix EP HERE.

Hot Video Alert: Mohombi - Bumpy Ride

Whatever your feelings are on powerhouse producer/songwriter RedOne , there's no denying his ability as a bonafied hitmaker.  Sure, there are critics who say EVERY RedOne production sounds just like the last one but I'm going to go ahead and say...I DON'T CARE. If it makes me move, it makes move and the new single from RedOne's latest protege Mohombi makes me move!

Singer/songwriter/dancer Mohombi has the privilege of being the first talent signed to RedOne's new label 2101 Records, in association with Universal Music.  The 23 year old was born to a Swedish mother and a Congolese father, which explains his GORGEOUS, exotic looks.  If I had to compare his sound to that of his contemporaries...I'd say his sound is a little bit Enrique Iglesias, a little bit Taio Cruz.    THIS is the kind of music that's doing well right now across different formats. Pop, R&B, Dance...RedOne knows what he's doing here people.  Taio Cruz...HELLO!? Runaway success story here in the U.S. with two #1s under his belt.  "Mohombi combines African influences with a Global pop sensibility, a sound destined for worldwide success."  While the single isn't yet available here in the States, "Bumpy Ride" IS available in Europe.
