Yet another hopelessly C-rate Timberlake, "Making The Band 4"'s Donnie Klang launches his solo career with "Take You There", an inevitable exercise in Prince-influenced, electro pop/ eroti-funk that serves some mildly competent clubby production, but is far from establishing much that's remotely interesting about the Bad Boy solo act behind it.

"If you wanna go far/ Let me take you to the stars/ We don't even need a car/ If you wanna go to Mars," Klang eye-rollingly mewls, his paper-thin tenor and breathy, faux-sexy affectations unable to pull much attention from the track's driving bass grind and veined keyboard touches. Aside from a few falsetto notes towards the end (a move that, if it had been used more, would've given this song a slightly more riveting allure), Donnie's contribution ends up just too blah.

Thankfully, a cameo from Diddy injects "Take You There" with some much-needed personality (even if it's borrowed heavily from the absurd, "whatever sticks" rhyming playbook of Lil' Wayne and Missy Elliott), dropping awesomely bad couplets like "Let's play Pong/ Take off your outfit and let's be gone".
