3.12.12 - New Music - DJ Havana Brown and Pitbull

Havana Brown is a new name from the land down under, where she was probably the biggest female DJ they’ve ever had. Come to think of it, how often do you hear about a female DJ? I can’t remember ever really writing or hearing about any. Maybe I should do some more research.

Anywho, after being a successful DJ and remixer for Universal Australia, she opened for people like Rihanna and Britney Spears while they were touring internationally. Seems she wants her time in the spotlight, as she has teamed up with RedOne (who ISN’T he working with?) to release her first single, “We Run The Night”.

The song peaked at #5 in Australia and hit the summit of the dance chart in the US, and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere fast. Sadly she added Pitbull, the worst person to add for a guest spot, but hopefully this will help her get some airplay in the US, and maybe we will see her start to climb the Hot 100 soon?

I would really love to see her take over in her coming singles and albums and produce her own music. RedOne is great, but you are a DJ – why don’t you MAKE some of the tunes yourself? It would be so empowering for there to be a prominent woman DJ, and it would lead to many others, I’m sure. Having another pretty girl singing about dancing in the club is fine, but if a woman were to rise up and rock like David Guetta or Avicii or someone? That would really be something to see.
