Encyclopedia
"No Other One" is a single by Taio Cruz
, the second single from his album Rokstarr
. It was released on November 30, 2009. The song peaked at #42 on the UK Singles Chart
, making it the lowest charting single from the album.
, with the full review stating: "Taio Cruz's current album, Rokstarr, kicks off with a meaty portion of club bangers before drifting somewhat disjointedly into soft rock territory more familiar to Take That and Coldplay. Those more subdued songs are perhaps being saved for a later date, but for now he's sticking - or positively clinging - to the same formula that sent 'Break Your Heart' all the way to the top in September. Lots of pop artists forge their own distinct sound of course, but 'No Other One' is verging on an outright rip-off of its predecessor. Those same Europoppy synths are out in force, there's a hefty dose of Auto-Tune on Cruz's vocals and it boasts an equally repetitive hook that's sure to get stuck in your head from about 20 seconds in. Though a perfectly enjoyable effort in its own right, it can't help feeling like a bit of a comedown after the superior thumper that came before it."
