Customer Reviews
If you like Har Mar, you'll like this! It's funky, funny and, at times, soulful.
My particular favourites are "I admit" - a brilliant duet about a suspicious couple (she comes off the pill to steal his babies, he's already had a vasectomy!) with more than a little influence from Berlin's "Take my breath away"; "Baby, do you like my clothes" is genius, I think we've all felt like that at one time?! "Baby do you like my clothes? Cause I sure don't like yours unless they're lying on the floor with your body next to me, baby"
I would definitely recommend this album! *****ACE!*****
Sounding alternately like Prince, R. Kelly and a Beastie Baby, Har Mar rocks some truly novel beats.
With lines like "I already sold your ring on eBay?" or "I saw that shirt at TJ Maxx -- Double XX -- earlier this year," it's impossible not to love these songs.
I've seen Har Mar live several times and can recommend no other show more highly. He's rude, crass and 100% hilarious.
If you're a hip-hop fan and have had your fill of lyrics about guns, Gucci and G's, look no further. This cornfed wunderkind will keep you dancing and guffawing long into the night.
Talk about cajones! The man sang white-boy R&B with
a straight face while disrobing until he was down to
black briefs. Genius.
Wannabe gang-bangers and other assorted human wastrels
kept falling for his taunts and became frustrated by
their lack of power, something Har Mar brilliantly
exploited. Mr. Superstar had me laughing
uncontrollably throughout, so, after the show, I went
to the merch booth and bought his album.
Har Mar's schtick is a courageous deconstruction of the
manufactured boy-bands and hip-hop acts which dominate
modern radio and MTV. The level of vitriol from the last
reviewer suggests that -- on some level -- he even managed
to connect with detractors. It's almost like people are
angry because -- even in parody -- HMS traffics in a
musical style that a lot of self-consciously hip
music fans actively try to disassociate themselves
from.
Sean Tillmann is the man behind the grotesque Har Mar
Superstar and "Sean Na Na" is his other act. A
striking combination of melodic melodic pop hooks
and bitterness, Tillmann's other project is very
different from the cheekiness of Har Mar Superstar.
While Har Mar's live show is admittedly provacative and vulgar,
the album is pure fun. Old school beats abound and the
playful lyrics are clever and sometimes silly. "I Admit,"
for instance, has the over-sexed Har Mar crooning
about vasectomies, and "I Can't Take It" tells how he
"already sold [his ex-lover's] ring on eBay." With it's
catchy samples and wall-to-wall intensity, "Cry 4 Help"
is a dance party caught on disc! The album highlight,
"Brand New Day," is a song that could have been penned
by R. Kelly. The track's enthusiastic energy and "up
with people" vibe will leave you tapping your feet,
even as you're second-guessing the sincerity of the
message.
Har Mar Superstar's album is one-of-a-kind. While his
tongue-in-cheek style is admittedly not for all tastes, check
it out if you consider yourself open-minded or a fan
of the bizarre.
