Before
Hot Chelle Rae "fueled up the Jeep with bubbly elasti-funk and breezy hip-hop swagger" (as Entertainment Weekly put it) with their current single "I Like It Like That," just released this week on 10/4, the band scored a bonafide smash with "Tonight Tonight," the Nashville-based quartet's first from their forthcoming album WHATEVER, set for release November 29th (RCA Records). Declared "one of the catchiest pop-rock anthems of the summer" by USA Today, "
Tonight Tonight" crashed into the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in July like an unruly teenager, shot to No. 1 at Hot AC radio in September, was certified double-platinum in the U.S. and platinum in Canada and Australia. With its once-heard-never purged melody, "la la la" refrain, and sly references to Zach Galifinakis, the song is a shameless crowd-pleaser. "
Tonight Tonight" has been a game-changer for this hard-working young band, which formed in 2005 and released its debut album, Lovesick Electric, in 2009. Hot Chelle Rae's highly-anticipated new album, WHATEVER is an unstoppable fireball of radio-ready tunes that finds them embracing who they really are: a band unabashedly in love with pop music.
