Wikipedia article
"'Walkin' on the Moon'" is the third single by The-Dream from his second album 'Love vs. Money'. The song features rapper Kanye West.
Critical reception
'Billboard' magazine gave the song a positive review, saying: "The third single from the-Dream's critically acclaimed album "Love vs. Money" finds the R&B artist tipping his hat to Michael Jackson, in a futuristic way. Kicking into a techno beat, the-Dream crafts a melodic pop tune that manages to fit nicely into the current uptempo R&B trend, while creating some new sonics of its own. With MJ-imitated "woo-hoo's"; a clever, flirtatious rap interlude from Kanye West; and romantic lyrics throughout, this could be the summer anthem for young lovers everywhere".[http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/reviews-singles/walkin-on-the-moon-1003983902.story ]
