When we reviewed Asher’s album last month, we were pleasantly surprised to find it worth the rising hype, and picked this track in particular as an outstanding cut.
Cee-Lo’s got a beautiful voice. When applied to the right melody, it can carry a song further than the top of the charts, as Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy defined the summer of 2006. I’m usually pretty bad at predicting shit like this, but I have a feeling this song is going to put Asher Roth on the mainstream map, providing terrestrial radio plays it, and is still relevant.
Who is this guy?! I don’t know but I like this song! I’m going to go find out!…(five minutes later)…THIS is the fuck that sings that song “I Love College”? I HATE that song. Fuck him!
Okay so I went to the website that seems to be the only website for this guy. http://www.asherroth.com. So there’s a cool link that says “Click Here To Get The Album For Free”, I figure this guy ROCKS a bit now…oh, it’s a link to EMusic for a free trial.
We’re covering single releases by eminem/mickey avalon hybrids now? You shouldn’t have fallen for this gimmick.
Don’t like the song, the chick is nice, though.
oh relax firecloud, it’s a good song.
Wow, that surprisingly good. Nothing mind blowing, but would be by far the best song I’d hear on the radio this summer.
Thank sweet baby Jesus I don’t listen to the radio then. If this is what passes for “good,” I’ll stick to “fucking awesome.”
