SONG OF THE DAY: Alex Gaudino ft Taboo – “I Don’t Wanna Dance”

It combines elements of electro and house with energetic beats and a hook reminiscent of Jackson 5?s classic “Can You Feel It.” The song is also a great showcase of Taboo’s vocal talents with his singing and rapping. Here, he?s put in a spotlight that he doesn’t normally get when Fergie and will.i.am are in the picture.???
