The unthinkable has happened: Alaska-touring soul patch Pitbull and celebrity lotus flower Christina Aguilera have recorded a song together, and it’s Latin superstar overload. A snippet of the track, titled “Feel This Moment” and taken from Pitbull’s upcoming studio album Global Warming, has just leaked online, and it’s kind of a doozy.
Interpolating the hook from Norwegian synthpop outfit A-Ha‘s famous 1985 hit “Take On Me,” but in a souped-up 2012-friendly format, the song sees Pitbull doing his typical Pitbull swag-shtick (“Reporting live, from the tallest building in Tokyo!”) and Aguilera gamely meeting him halfway with a memorable chorus: “One day when my light is glowing, I’ll be in my castle golden / But until the gates are open, I just wanna feel this moment.” (Or something like that, since those lyrics don’t totally make sense.) Hear a preview of the track after the jump.
Admittedly, Aguilera’s performance on “Feel This Moment” fares better than her yowling on Chris Mann‘s cover of “The Blower’s Daughter,” which also debuted online earlier today, but still, we were expecting a little more from the self-proclaimed innovator. Listen to the song below.
Pitbull feat. Christina Aguilera – Feel This Moment
Okay, so you hate it when she overpowers others on their own songs, and you hate it when she is submissive to others, again, on their own songs. In more plain terms, then, you enjoy placing her in a vicious cycle of not being good enough in comparison to the likes of Lopez, Spears, Minaj, Swift, Perry, $ha, Riri etc. I guess that’s fair :)
Agreed! I’ve already made up my mind to stop reading his/her (Sam Lansky) articles, but I’ll just click to listen to the link or songs.
Can’t really trust somebody who has named Taylor Swift the best songwriter of our generation
love the song
You know rappers are desperate to stay relevant when they’re sampling catchy 80′s songs. Just ask Flo Rida whose career seems to thrive on samples and gimmicks.
It’s lame.
Pitbull and Flo Rida are the Rebecca Black of rap music. I feel like the only people who actually listen to them are the same people who count “Jersey Shore” as their favorite show and probably think LMFAO are better than the Beatles. Sad.
Photoshopz and Lenzes should be the name of this song after just looking at the album art and not hearing it yet… haha. Man I’m sick of Pitbull.
