The video for Kanye and Jay’s “No Church In The Wild” is a keeper. Check it out here.

The Viewfinder: Evitan’s “Who Is This”
EvitaN-the supergroup consisting of Jarobi and Dres-are back with the new video “Who Is This”
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 […]
The Viewfinder: PT Walkley’s “The Way That You Are”
Sometimes a song and a video just makes you smile. I’d been procrastinating on covering singer/songwriter PT Walkley, whose album Thriller (yeah) came out about two months ago. However, in the midst of doing some research, I came across his video for “The Way That You Are,” and I had to post it. The song has a springlike, etheral vibe, and the video is pure silliness. Goofy grins, vaguely creepy “O” face-type expressions, and showers of everything from silly spring […]
The Viewfinder: R. Kelly’s “Share My Love”
I’m slowly inching closer to enjoying R. Kelly’s music again without all the psychodrama that surrounds it. A big reason for that is the fact that the music has actually been good. His last album, the Grammy nominated Love Letter, was the R’s best work in a good fifteen years. Not coincidentally, it was the most pure R&B record he’d made since then. Nice to know that, in his forties, Kelly has sort of dropped the R&B-thug persona and is […]
WTFF?: Daniel Bedingfield’s “Rocks Off”
It’s been damn near a decade since we Americans last heard from Daniel Bedingfield. The young British singer/songwriter scored hits out the box with “Gotta Get Thru This” and the pretty ballad “If I’m Not The One.” Both songs worked that retro-MJ thing before Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown and Ne-Yo took over that particular lane, and Daniel even had a foot in that two-step thing that was popular in the U.S. for about five minutes (hello, Craig David!!) So, where […]
The Viewfinder: Evitan’s “Give It To Me”
In case you haven’t heard yet, Evitan is Dres of Black Sheep and Jarobi White from A Tribe Called Quest. Yes, Jarobi rhymes. Between this and the new De La Soul project, 16-year old Blerd is shitting himself with joy right now. The second video from the duo’s upcoming (untitled?) project is “Give It To Me.” I love the soul-sample flip. The beat’s timeless…it sounds dope in 2012 and would have had people snapping their necks EPMD-style back in 1992. […]
The Viewfinder: Bon Joviver’s “You Give Love A Bad Name”
Here at Popblerd, we enjoy using our Viewfinder and Singles Bar columns to highlight new and exciting tracks for your listening pleasure. We also like drawing attention to videos that make music nerds giggle. Bon Joviver falls into the latter category. As it turns out, Bon Joviver is exactly what it sounds like: an uncannily accurate facsimile of the bearded folkie who made Popblerd’s Top Album of 2011, singing the irrepressible New Jersey rocker’s mega-hit “You Give Love A Bad […]
The Viewfinder: Murder Mystery’s “I Am (If You Are)”
Brooklyn-based quartet Murder Mystery are set to release their new EP Problems this month. The band has been recording tracks over the last few years, but until now hasn’t issued a formal release. These 6 all-new tracks have the band working through their breezy brand of indie-pop that is at once toe-tapping and sentimental. And HEY! This week only, you can get the Problems EP for $2 at www.groopease.com . You can’t beat that! Check out the video for the lead single, “I […]
The Viewfinder: The Phenomenal Handclap Band’s “The Unknown Faces At Father James Park”
New York’s Phenomenal Handclap Band have definitely got my attention. Barely two weeks ago, we posted their new single “ Following ,” and now we’re posting a video for yet another song from the band’s upcoming album, Form & Control . This one’s for the rather oddly-titled track “The Unknown Faces At Father James Park.” The band says of the video: As a teenager, Father James Park was the local park where my friends and I were able to go and […]
The Viewfinder: “Woo” by Anthony Hamilton
So, after pretty much an entire year without a halfway decent R&B album (thanks Rahsaan Patterson, Raphael Saadiq and Marsha Ambrosius for providing something for soul fans earlier in 2011,) December promises to be flush with albums by some of the genre’s leading lights. Mary J. Blige has already led the way with My Life II, Trey Songz (who’s got skills) just released and EP, we’ve got Robin Thicke on deck (who has hopefully learned from his Nicki Minaj-assisted disaster) […]
