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 [...]

The Viewfinder: Mayer Hawthorne’s “Henny & Gingerale”
Looking on the back of your CD copy of Mayer Hawthorne’s How Do You Do? and wondering where the hell the song “Henny & Gingerale” is? Well, guess what? It’s not on it! “Henny” is a bonus cut available on the digital version only, and the Detroit-based soul singer has just shot a video for the uptempo cut. There ain’t much to it, really.

Wesley got the lightness of Michael’s delivery down pat, and the music is as breezy as [...]

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 [...]
