This is the first solo release from a
Girls Aloud member, with Cheryl Cole providing guest vocals on
Will.I.Am's single 'Heartbreaker'.
'Heartbreaker' started life as an album track on Will.I.Am's 2007
album 'Songs About Girls', on which only his vocals featured. The
song was re-recorded for the UK market in 2008, now also featuring
Cheryl's vocals.
The duet came about during the filming of the Girls Aloud ITV2
series 'The Passions of Girl Aloud'. Cheryl's passion was to learn
street dancing, with the aim of auditioning for a dancing part in
Will.I.Am's music video for 'Heartbreaker'. After a successful
audition, she was chosen for the part. Will.I.Am then asked Cheryl
to record vocals for a new version of the song.
A one of duet was performed on The Graham Norton Show on 24th April,
in advance of the CD singles 5th May release date.
'Heartbreaker' had immediate success in the UK and Ireland. After
Cheryl's 'Passions' episode aired, downloads of the album version
saw the song enter the UK Singles Chart at #74. The music video
debuted a fortnight later, and 'Heartbreaker' climbed the charts
rapidly - reaching as high as #8 in the UK, still only based on
sales of Will.I.Am's solo version from his album.
The CD single and Cheryl version downloads were released on 5th May
2008. 'Heartbreaker' climbed and peaked at #4 - a position it stayed
at for three weeks! It has currently sold around 250,000 copies in
total, and thus has out-sold all but two Girls Aloud singles - 'Sound Of The Underground' and 'The Promise'. |
