This Summer, the divas of Danity Kane are heating up the airwaves with their blazing new single ‘Lemonade’. So, what better way to salute the ladies return than by journeying back to one of their break-out hits.
Yes, this week’s From The Vault pick is the group’s second single ever – ‘Ride For You’.
Released in December 2006, the track saw the then-five-piece showcase their pipes after serving up swagger aplenty on preceding single Show Stopper’.
With the popularity of hard-hitting ballads at an all time high – thanks to the likes of Mariah Carey’s ‘We Belong Together’ and Mary J’s ‘Be Without You’, the group tapped the man responsible both tracks Bryan Michael Cox to pen ‘Ride’.
The result? A delicious slice of balladry than firmly established the “DK brand” as more than a one trick pony.
Indeed, though the track could only manage a #78 placing on the Billboard Hot 100, ‘Ride’ proved that each member possessed a powerful vocal; which, when juxtaposed against their performance ability, very much established Danity Kane as a legitimate supergroup.
Thematically, the song’s Marcus Raboy directed video saw each member navigate through different seasons. Though by no means groundbreaking, it served as a fitting visual homage to the different flavours that make up one of the best female collectives in recent memory.
****************
For many, the story of Danity Kane reads like a titillating page-turner. Make-ups, break-ups, comebacks, and setbacks. Yet, more than anything, it’s always felt somewhat incomplete; cliché as it sounds, almost as if the best is yet to come.
Now a trio, it’s clear the DNA of the new DK remains as strong as ever. As such, here’s hoping the ladies reap the rewards of their hard work. Because a victory for this latest incarnation is very much a victory for every member than at has ever sung under the Danity Kane name.

Ride for you was the JAM back in 06! I really have high hopes for DK3…. their new music is very very promising
Are the people at TGJ for real??
” ‘Ride’ proved that each member possessed a powerful vocal”
I might need you guys to go and check your facts because Aubrey O’day was scrapped from this song… You only hear her a little bit in the chorus…. If you guys really are reading hard for them from the start as you guys are doing, you would know she was taken out and that there was a big issue with here not having her own part to sing….
Next time check your facts……

That was my sh*t tho.
I loved that song. I think they had better ballads on their 2nd album though & a more mature sound tbh. I’m hopeful about this new era from them though. I hope they slay
TGJ can yall post on Rita Ora singing Drunk in love. lol
Oh God, was it awful?
Surprisingly it was pretty decent and live something the original singer couldn’t do.
Unfortunately, the b**** is undergoing an identity crisis. Her music sounds like Rihanna leftovers and Rocnation is spending serious money on her promotion of lackluster singles… They better be saving up for R8. If I see s***** promotion on Rihanna’s next album….
Hell.Will.Turn.Over.
OOHHH SHADE DETECTED LMAO. I just saw it and and although I hate the bitchh, it was cute…
Too bad she has to sing other people’s hits to keep the crowd hype since her music is shitt 🙁

Im sure if they’re spending that much money on a non factor im sure Rihanna will get some major promotion tbh Rihanna needs another GGGB/LOUD era these sloppy eras gotta go.
Absolutely, even as a stan of Ri, I can admit that Talk That Talk and Unapologetic were sloppy eras when it comes to promotion. But I have a feeling that had more to do with her and not the lack of money/promotion. She’s had a long enough break for the last 2 years and should be ready to work hard.
This song is stuck in my head…. It’s been on Canadian radio for ever but is becoming more popular in the US, kinda like Carly Rae Jepsen did in 2012.

Oh no no no no. F*** this song. I hate the US for making it even bigger ugh.
Right here is the perfect blog for anybody who wants to find out about this topic.
You realize so much its almost tough to argue with you (not that I personally would
want to…HaHa). You definitely put a fresh
spin on a topic which has been written about for many years.
Great stuff, just great!
