Travie McCoy’s solo success with the Bruno Mars-assisted “Billionaire” does not mean the end of his band, Gym Class Heroes. The band is back with a new album scheduled for release later this summer. The lead single, “Stereo Hearts”, threatens to be an instant summer hat, filled with feel-good (and quite creative) lyrics and a guest shot from a rejuvenated Adam Levine (bouncing back from the border of irrelevance). With the sales of the last Gym Class Heroes album not living up to the promise of their breakthrough, As Cruel As School Children, let’s see if the radio-friendliness of this song leads to another pop breakthrough for this band.

I also like the fact that the label commissioned a “lyric video” for this track. While not the “official” video, it’s still a pretty cool placeholder.
