VIDEO / New Music Watch: B.o.B feat. Lil Wayne, 'Strange Clouds'
Posted by Gabe Vodicka @gabevodicka on Mon, Jan 9, 2012 at 4:49 PM
Atlanta's crossover success story of 2010 B.o.B is set to deliver Strange Clouds, the official follow-up to The Adventures of Bobby Ray, this coming March. Above, check the visuals for the album's title track, a tune that features a quick and rather forgettable spot from the increasingly listless Weezy F. Baby. For his part, though, B.o.B has come off as increasingly amped and able with each consequent outing.
That beat! That chorus! It's maybe no big surprise that, judging from the bombast of this Dr. Luke-produced track, not to mention the announced guest list - Rihanna, Kanye, Drake - Strange Clouds has some serious arena-pop aspirations. The song's fine and catchy and all but I still can't help feeling like there's something missing from "Strange Clouds." He's set his sights high from the start, but the question remains: will Bobby Ray finally be able to rise to the occasion? (A new 3000 spot certainly doesn't hurt.)
