Kelly Rowland‘s flirtation with EDM in 2010 yielded chart smashes such as ‘Commander’ and ‘When Love Takes Over’. It’s little surprise, then, that the singer re-embraces the sound on her new collaboration with Pitbull.

Christened ‘That High’, the track appears on the dance-floor titan’s latest album ‘Global Warming: Meltdown’ – which hits stores on November 25th.

With the release around the corner, the LP -which also features Ke$ha, Jennifer Lopez, and Mohombi – has officially been made available to stream.

Take a listen to Ms. Kelly’s cut, and the rest of the LP after the jump…

The past weekend saw the opening of ‘The Best Man Holiday’ (Taye Diggs, Morris Chestnut) – the long awaited sequel to the hit film ‘The Best Man’ – wow critics and audiences alike.

Raking in over $30 million for its premiere weekend, the showing at the box office surpassed expectations in a grand way.  So much so, apparently, that Universal Studios is already in talk with the film’s director Malcolm D. Lee to write and direct another installment of the hit romantic comedy.

While the negotiations are just “in talks” right now, word has it the follow-up would be expected much sooner than the 14-year gap between parts 1 and 2 of the film.  No word on if all members of the cast can be expected for the next installment.

Beyond the bevy of global hits he’s written, The-Dream is renowned for serving up many a controversial quote.

However, the star’s candor is equally refreshing when simply sharing his thoughts on the industry he’s come to dominate.

During a recent interview with our friends over at Vlad TV, the singer-songwriter waxed honest on working with Ciara (the pair last teamed up on 2010’s ill-fated ‘Basic Instinct’), as well as his thoughts on the lack of powerhouse vocalists in R&B and more.

So, how does Grande’s cover fare when compared to the original?
