Bloc Party Cover Nelly Furtado
Shouldn't be shocked by that post title; Kele's been a sucker for the pop tarts from the start. In fact, he's going on to any ear he can find about another such star's forthcoming single. From an interview Klaxons did with Radar:
I'm more excited about Britney than anything. We did a TV show with Bloc Party yesterday, and I'm not sure how much of the truth [singer, guitarist] Kele was telling us, but he was saying that he heard one of the new Britney Spears tracks, and it was life-changing. So that's more exciting to me.Well that's exciting to us too, but that's for another time. Back to Bloc Party's love for Billboard artists. The band did the Jo Whiley's morning show on Radio 1 recently and turned out a tribute to Furtado and Timba's #1 hit, "Say It Right." Well worth the listen ... and you'll realize that very little separates Kele and Nelly's songwriting.
But if you're still wondering why Bloc Party would cover the tune, think of it as Kele's resumé submission to Timbaland.

Oh, Brit-Brit. I certainly hope your new album *is* life changing, both for you and me. I love girls that shave their head-- hope you find your emancipation. Har. Har.

This version is decent in its own right, and would work as a filler for an album, but it lacks all of the greatness of the original piece. It is solely the production on Furtado's version that makes the lack of creative songwriting enjoyable or even bearable.

I don't care if Brit's song is life-changing; she can't keep her own life under control, why would I want her "changing" mine? Besides that, I think Timbaland ought to focus on his own career; sure, helping Britney is good PR for him, but who cares?

Is it just me or does Nelly look really old there?

Their new album to put bluntly, was horrible. You could tell easily that they were putting anything they could together. Pity. The last album certainly created a form of hope for this one. Better luck next time, boys. Please discontinue the pop songs, eh?

I just love this song. It's so awesome! (And in my opinion better than Nelly's version.)
Keep it up, Bloc Party!! >:D

The very fact that kele needs to cover any bloody song proves beyond doubt that bloc party are bloody talentless and out of tune...and if it wasnt for jo whileys "i love every artist, oh that tracks hot, oh this tracks hot" is there any rubbish that she wont play.....
