Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins made Janet Jackson fans' dreams come true by leaking the full official version of her new song "HeartBeatLove" featuring Pitbull and Caribbean artists Rock City and Machel Montano on his website on Friday. The heart-pulsing track borrows the infectious energy of Caribbean Carnival and marries it with Janet's signature sultriness. While Janet may have had a difficult time scoring a home run with her last few records, this song seems to have hit written all over it.

In another Darkchild track, the superproducer teams up with Pitbull again on a song for Puerto Rican-born but Virgin Island-raised "Island B" artist Verse Simmonds and his ode to the grand ol' USA, "America." The song has hints of Akon peppered throughout it and Pitbull puts his foot in the song, playfully turning America (the nation) into a desirable woman metaphor. While it's unlikely to replace the "Star-Spangled Banner" as the national anthem, it gives patriotism a different twist. Forget Uncle Sam, let's replace the mascot of America with this scintillating lady Verse and Pitbull are describing.
