Tulisa featuring Tyga - "Live it Up"

"We should pop more champagne this year, than we did last year"

There is no doubt that Tulisa has been the breakout star of N-Dubz and this has been helped massively by her exposure as a judge on The X Factor. Naturally, her solo music career isn't doing too badly either off the back of her X Factor success and her new single "Live it Up" featuring American rapper Tyga will only continue her mainstream chart success.

I first heard "Live it Up" at Wireless Festival, London in July and I instantly fell in love with it and it sounded AMAAAAZING blasting out of the speakers in Hyde Park! I've always thought Tulisa has a pretty decent voice, although there are many people that would disagree with me.

I love the bashment vibe of the song and it's quite an interesting direction for Tulisa to take her music in, I think, but it totally works for her. I much prefer it to her previous single, "Young". Although it would sound amazing in Ibiza, it was pretty generic and quite predictable for Tulisa to release it as her debut solo single, but it still acheived number one on the UK single charts, which is no mean feat. But I definitely think Tulisa should continue to experiment with her sound and I'm hoping her album will be an eclectic mix of music to cater for all music lovers.

The video for this track is perfect. Tulisa looks incredible, although I have to say I'm really not a fan of her with blonde hair. She looks cheap and her brunette locks definitely added some much needed sassiness to her image. The blonde hair takes her back to the early days of N-Dubz, except she has a stylist now. I think she should definitely bring the brunette back!
