Draw the curtains, light a candle and take a listen." Perez Hilton exclaims “LOVE IT!! This song is a trance-y, smooth HIT!!  USA Today describes “Climax” as “Usher’s pulsing new single showcasing his silky-strong tenor” and Entertainment Weekly highlightsUsher’s “steaming-hot falsetto.”

PITBULL DISCOVERS NEW WORLD
OF SOUNDS ON PLANET PIT JUNE 21

Cuban-American Music Sensation Builds on Global Success with Album Featuring Guests Marc Anthony, Chris Brown, T-Pain, Ne-Yo,
Kelly Rowland, Sean Paul and More

Planet Pit Super-Producers include Dr. Luke, Max Martin, Benny Blanco, David Guetta, RedOne, Afrojack, Polow Da Don and DJ Frank E

Pitbull Teams with Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer
for New Hit Single "Give Me Everything"

Los Angeles, CA - May 4, 2011 - Cuban-American music sensation Pitbull invites listeners to discover the new world of sounds he created for Planet Pit, the hit-maker's sixth album. Available on June 21, the new album unites Pit's rapid-fire rhymes and billion-dollar beats with musical influences from around the world to create a one-of-a-kind sound.

His experiences growing up in Miami combined with his recent global success influenced the album's rich mix of styles, says Pitbull, whose given name is Armando Christian Pérez. "It embodies a bit of everywhere I've been," he says referring to his recent globe-spanning tours. "I'm trying to be the ambassador; the bridge builder who brings elements from all over the world and puts it all together so it sounds like nothing you've ever heard before."

Pitbull teams with Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer for the new single from Planet Pit, "Give Me Everything." Already climbing the charts, the song is poised to pick up where Pit's multi-platinum smash hits "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)," "Hotel Room Service" and "Hey Baby (Drop It To The Floor)" left off. Like the star-studded single, the album is filled with pop music luminaries such as Marc Anthony ("Rain Over Me), Chris Brown ("International Love"), and Kelly Rowland ("Castle Made of Sand").

To give Planet Pit its edge, Pit surrounds himself with many of today's hottest artists, including appearances by T-Pain and Sean Paul. To blend the album's diverse sounds into a seamless flow, Pit tapped top producers like David Guetta, Afrojack ("Something 4 The DJ's), RedOne, Polow Da Don and DJ Frank E. In fact, Pitbull's "Come & Go" marks the first time ever that super-producers Dr. Luke, Benny Blanco and Max Martin worked together with Pit.



Pitbull's just off a wave of featured smash hits with Usher's "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love," Enrique Iglesias' "I Like It" and the Jennifer Lopez current mega single "On The Floor." He will promote Planet Pit this spring with several high-profile television appearances along with a number of concerts. Known for his electrifying performances, Pit fuses his fierce rhymes, sizzling pop hooks and swaggering stage presence with the raw energy of a live band to create a spontaneous atmosphere. "When the congas are pounding and the bass is thumping behind me," says Pitbull "nothing can touch me."

Even with the new album and upcoming concerts, Pitbull still found time to introduce Voli, his own line of premium, low-calorie vodka and a partnership with Sheets, the dissolvable energy strip. The entrepreneurial ventures are the latest for Pitbull, who also successfully launched his own Polo Grounds Music/J Records imprint (Mr. 305 Records) and inked major sponsorship deals with blue-chip brands Kodak, Dr. Pepper Bud Light and is now ready to introduce the planet to Mr. Worldwide.

R.Kelly w/ Usher photos: "Same Girl" video set

Once in a lifetime do two mega stars come together. Rarely do such people put aside difference and ego and show the bravery and confidence needed to do something together. And when it happens the people stop, listen and watch. For a moment the world stops and the fans love every moment of it.
This song is a fun twist of fate. Rarely do we hear the fellas tell of being two timed and played. Never out the mouths of sex symbols like R. Kelly and Usher. But here they are. Saying it for the world to hear. Some woman has gotten the best of both of them (what she look like?). The video plays it all out for us to see what we hear, with a little twist at the end that we don’t hear on the record…
