A few weeks back, we posted a Singles Bar column on “Show You How,” the debut single from 112′s Q Parker, and made note of the fact that it was a solid R&B track, the type you would’ve taken for granted in the Nineties but now seems fresh again. Well, Q has now released the visual for the song, and it’s a well-crafted clip. It stays true to the lyrics (Q is the guy who steps in with love and [...]

Spin Cycle: Beach House’s Bloom
It appears that the release cycle is at a stage now where a number of bands that released some of my favorite albums of the last 3-4 years are now issuing follow-up discs, which is always makes me a little anxious. When you love an album to bits, you always have that very rational fear that the follow up will pale in comparison. Santigold’s latest escaped that fate by being a solidly constructed album, if a bit predictable in comparison [...]

The Singles Bar: Baroness “Take My Bones Away”
Five minutes of music is definitely not a fair amount of time to indicate what a double album is going to sound like but if “Take My Bones Away” by Baroness is even a fraction of what the rest of Yellow & Green sounds like then I think fans are gonna be happy. “Take My Bones Away” is a little more crisp sounding then Blue or Red but it still sounds magnificent. Adding some Clutch-like riffing with the usual swamp [...]

The Viewfinder: Nelly Furtado’s “Big Hoops (Bigger The Better)”
Come on. Y’all act like you’ve never seen a person on stilts before! Lyrically, the video for “Big Hoops (Bigger The Better)” the new single from Nelly Furtado’s forthcoming The Spirit Indestructible, references a passel of ’90s pop culture reference. Visually, there’s not much in relation to the song, but the video is still pretty hard to turn away from. It strikes a decent midpoint between Nelly’s hippy-dippy early work and her flossy recent work, and it’s kinda cool to [...]
