From what I have heard, the show "Dancing With the Stars" features professional dancers who are paired with celebrities (or "stars'). However, I have recently found out that one of those professional dancers has another passion that most people might not be aware of: singing. Not being a huge fan of the show, I had no idea who Mark Ballas was, until a friend introduced me to his song titled "Hotwire" from his album HurtLoveBox. I instantly fell in love with the song and was excited to add a new tunes to my lonely "Recently Added" playlist. The song is said to be about a guy who is bored with life and is looking for some and any inspiration. If you like John Mayer or Joshua Radin, you will probably end up having this song on repeat and end up memorizing all the words (like I did). I also thought it was interesting how the lead actress in the video for "Hotwire" was chosen. After watching an interview of the making of this video for the song "Hotwire," I learned they chose Ballas' partner from "Dancing With the Stars," Chelsea Kane. The reason behind why they chose Chelsea Kane was because they were running a little behind in the casting department and did not have enough time to formerly cast someone. So, Chelsea Kane volunteered for the job. After watching the video, you will see why she was the perfect fit. The chemistry they have, along with he beat and Ballas' soft and inviting voice, made the video look fabulous. I posted a link to the video for "Hotwire". And yes, there are other songs on Balla's album titled "HurtLoveBox," but in my opinion, "Hotwire" is the best. Check out the video =)
