ET & Haasan Barclay - Bell Biv Barclay


In what sounds like a dream pairing, ET of Van Buren Records and Haasan Barclay have teamed up for a new project. Bell Biv Barclay is a seven song release that doubles as an homage to fellow Boston greats New Edition, Bell Biv Devoe, and Bobby Brown. The songs have a modern sound and production, and reinterpret the 80's and 90's sound of that trio of artists through a modern lens. It's wildly creative and interesting, but we wouldn't expect anything less from ET and Haasan Barclay. I can't think of another time that anyone has released anything that is this nostalgic while also being this progressive. Bell Biv Barclay is the kind of release that will have you trying to decide between dancing and just listening with your mouth agape. Both are fine choices, and you'll definitely be doing both at various points while listening. By the time you get to "EVEN," this is going to end up one of your favorite listens of the year.
