Telling the World
"Telling the World" Reception
The song was given 3 out of 5 stars when reviewed by
Digital Spy. Editor Nick Levene claimed: "We’ll be honest
- we’re more than partial to a proper movie theme tune.
From R Kelly’s Space Jam ballad ’I Believe I Can Fly’, to
Aerosmith’s ’I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing’ from Ar-
mageddon, to the Titanic belter ’My Heart Will Go On’
by Celine, they often provide us with a much-needed
fix of gut-stirring emotion. Given his recent worldwide
success, it only seems fair that Taio Cruz would have
a pop at it - in this case for the forthcoming film Rio;
you know, from those cute-but-slightly-annoying Orange
Mobile ads at the cinema. The track ticks all the neces-
sary boxes: emotive lyrics, an uplifting piano ’n’ drums
Single by Taio Cruz riff and catchy, suitably Brazilian ’ooh-way-oohs’, and
what’s more - he’s introduced it’s accompanying music
from the album Rio Soundtrack, Rokstarr & TY.O
Soundtrack, video below with a shout-out to us lot at DS Towers. Nev-
B-side Radio Version er let it be said that Taio Cruz isn’t a gentlemen - dirty
pictures of Ke$ha squatting over a loo aside, of course".[2]
