Foxy Shazam



"Cool shoes, bro" Two years after releasing their sophomore effort Introducing..., Foxy Shazam have returned in a big way. In April of 2010, Foxy Shazam released their first album on a major label, and successfully reinvented the blend of modern soul and rock 'n' roll. Upon first listen, the songs on Foxy Shazam can really only be described as anthemic. All of them are heavily driven by Eric Sean Nally's vocals which carry a swagger that can be likened to the late Freddie Mercury, and Sky White's broadway influenced piano playing. In fact, the entire album has a feel that is strikingly reminiscent of Queen's more memorable tunes. In fact, Foxy Shazam's single "Unstoppable" was featured in the 2010 Superbowl...how's that for something? Overall, the album is bouncy and anthemic, begging to be choreographed, and deserving of being performed in arenas around the world rather than the dive bars and small clubs that Foxy Shazam have been confined to for the past six years. Time will only tell if Foxy Shazam is going to be "the next big thing", but with this album, it's hard to believe they won't be chart-toppers soon enough.
Songs to check out: Teenage Demon Baby, Bombs Away, Oh Lord.
