"Big hoops (Bigger the better)" had a hot beat on it. But the song was nonsense. Radio was never going to fall over themselves to spin it. And whilst DJ's would wank over the bassline in the clubs, the song was never going to be a mainstream hit. It was too hood and sounded too much like something The Forehead would do for anybody to take real notice of the song, despite Nelly having been on the whole island style swag long before Rihanna had her mouth on a dick for a record deal.
With "Big hoops (The harder the flop)" now written off, Nelly is all about her follow up single, which will be the album title track "The spirit indestructible". Nelly performed the song live at Issy les Moulineaux in Paris and...well, I'll let you listen for yourself. Just in the video gets yanked, your PC's are rubbish or you're browsing this from a shitty phone with no Wi-Fi - I'll say this now. This song is the bees knees.
The song sounds like a beast! It's like "Say it right" on crack. This song is everything "Big hoops" wasn't and should have been. It has the distinctive flavour of Darkchild (which I've been sorely missing from everything Rodney Jerkins has produced over the past 5 years) and the Nelly Furtado we loved on Folklore comes through in spades. The song is catchy. It's hot. The beat goes hard. The only thing wrong with the song is that it's not on my iPod.
Nelly's vocals sounded pretty strong and the production was so rich, that I hope it's not watered down and glossed over for the single / album versions of the song.
The crowd should feel ashamed. How can you be at a gig with a song this hard blaring through speakers, Nelly jumping around the stage in heels and a Native American dude getting crunk with hula hoops and not get buck wild!? For f**ks sake.
