Like I said before, we've had a slow start this year for big hitters in the music world. Major stars last year like Lady Gaga and Rihanna are fading out, while Ke$ha and Christina Aguilera are holding out for a little later. But with summer coming up it's time to start looking for the song of the summer and we might have our first candidate with "Big Hoops."
It's been like forever since Nelly Furtado has released a new album, and we only got a small taste a couple of years ago with "Night Is Young." While "Night Is Young" was in her smooth gentle style, "Big Hoops" is her sexually aggressive style. It's just as strong as anything she's done and it's sure to really draw in attention.
The song is a little crazy, but it's clearly an organized crazy. Chanting "the bigger the better," opens the song and continues to pound throughout the rest of the song. Nelly fills her verses with clever lyrics, while the chorus is just a simple bouncy, "I can go fast, I can go slow," followed by an island style "Hey ey ey." It really comes together to make a blast of different sounds. It works really well and makes the song very enjoyable to listen to.
Near the end we get a little break where she speaks, "Oh, I thought the song was over." It's weird, but it's something to keep you on your toes. Nelly Furtado is making a big return, she's going to smash with everything about her that makes her so great. If only Madonna had done the same.
Right now "Big Hoops" is looking like the best bet for song of the summer, but Katy Perry is still hanging on, and if Ke$ha times her first single off he new album right she could also make a smash. For now, we'll have to wait and see.
