Taio Cruz

Taio Cruz aims to uplift a new generation with his cover of John Lennon’s 1971 classic “Imagine,” which he first debuted in Times Square on New Year’s Eve. The British singer stays true to the original on the piano-laced tune. “I tried not to mess with it too much because it’s such a classic song and so many people love it,” said Taio. “I didn’t want to make a dance version or a crazy up-tempo remix-sounding thing that people would absolutely kill me for.”
