Top stud turns pop stud

Dean Monroe may have left his adult career behind, but the sexy European star of such skin flicks as Heaven to Hell, Black-N-Blue, Instinct and Cross Country still keeps a high profile in the entertainment world. Like Fredrick Ford, Jeff Palmer, Jeff Stryker, Johnny Hazzard and Colton Ford before him, Monroe is attempting to kickstart a music career with the release of a his debut single, a pop confection titled "Closer to You."

Monroe leaked a 35-second sample of the track on his blog over the Thanksgiving weekend. The sample follows on the heels of a racy behind-the-scenes clip of the making of the video for the song (below). Take a listen and tell us what you think. Does Monroe have a shot as a pop star?
