Okay, so another recurrent theme here, but you can't go wrong with a bit of Barbie.
It's hard to imagine that Gyptian's 'Hold You (Hold Yuh)' could be improved upon. A chilled mix of reggae vocals, a simple but killer baseline and the perfect mix of electronic strings, 'Hold You' is a painfully underrated hit. However, bringing sexy, mankiller Minaj into the mix just makes for a more (though I hate to say it) commercially sellable track. In this case, that is a good thing, I promise.
Nicki's cheeky giggle and her deep, seductive vocals (as well as the stunning, rather Enya-esque backing vocals on the chorus) are the ideal partner to the track's beats, formulating an instantly loveable, addictively mellow single.
If you haven't had the pleasure of hearing either version, check out and buy.

Also, I'm gonna take this opportunity to mention Stromae - Alors on Danse. A massive club hit across Europe this Summer, Alors on Danse is impossible not to like. As is Stromae himself. His album Cheese is available on hmvdigital.
