Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

He's not your everyday heart-throb, but Har Mar Superstar's third album, The Handler proves there's more to this balding, slightly tubby R&B star's career than meets the eye. Sure, ostensibly, the initial appeal of loverboy tracks like "Transit" come through the fact that a gaggle of adoring females are singing "Har Mar is so sexy/ He gets all the ladies" in his honour. But beneath the smear of irony applied like Vaseline over tracks like "Back That Camel Up" and 'Sugar Pie", there's actually genuine wit and more importantly, songwriting content. Hall And Oates is a clear reference point on "Cut Me Up", a slice of of tanned, neon-bright disco-pop that could have squeezed neatly onto the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – although you might be surprised to hear that the voice sparring with Har Mar is none other than Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Karen O. It's not just indie chicks that dig the Har Mar, though--'Dui', a sort of Bontempi-lite take on R.Kelly's party anthem "Ignition (Remix)" features a vocal performance from pop queen Holly Valance that should raise a few eyebrows... and this time, we're not talking irony. --Louis Pattison


CD Description

After moving into the legendary 'Dirt' era Motley Crue apartment on Sunset Strip for inspiration, Har Mar Superstar delivers his second album 'The Handler'. Moving away from the Prince inspired sound of his debut, the album has a more scuzzy rock 'n' roll sound with hints of Stevie Wonder's seventies funk sound. Guest appearances come from Karen O, Nick Zinner, and Pete Thomas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arrangements and Production to admire, 11 Oct 2004
By C. Latham "petsound" (Lancashire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a truly great album. I bought the other 2 on the strength of this (they are not a patch on this classic). OK, so maybe this guy's tongue couldn't possibly be more embedded in his cheek (or any other of the places mentioned on the album!) but the arrangements, production, songwriting and general feel-good vibes make this a serious piece of work. Think of Prince at his best (pre-Batman!!), add a touch of Stevie Wonder (Track 5 especially) and a pinch of 70's disco energy and you've got this sexy beast of an album. Don't buy it if you like Craig David or any other dodgy wannabes, but if you count "Lovesexy"; "Sign of the Times"; "Parade"; (Prince) or "Innervisions"; "Talking Book"; (Stevie Wonder) in your top 100 albums then this could float your boat!! BUY IT NOW

5.0 out of 5 stars Driving Under The Influence, 23 Aug 2004
These intoxicating tunes from an up and rising "superstar" are the only sounds coming out of my car stereo for the past month. I have very special connections so I've had the privledge of hearing this album well before its release and have heard great things. This Album, produced by a very rockin new producer, Strawberry Fields is incredible. It combines leud lyrics resembling those of gangster rappers who rule the music world right now with the smooth sounding voice not heard in the buisness since Jamaraqui. Take those two things and add the staggered look of Har Mar, a fat, white, almost insane looking man with hair going anywhere it wants and an outfit that fits (spandex pants and tighty-whiteys) and you have yourself a hit. PLus, with firneds like Ben Stiller and Owen Willson, his personality must be a party as well. This album has huge diversity an tarcks like DUI and Transit are what Har Mar does best. He also throws in an amazing cover of Gilbret O'Sullivan's classic "Naturally" which rocks the cd. Every song on the cd is amazing and perfectly mastered. You'd be a fool if you didn't go out and buy this CD nOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funky chunky, 1 Oct 2004
By The Fisher Price King "Straight from the gut" (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Har Mar Superstar does a surprisingly convincing impression of funk and disco on this new album. Basically he has no inhibitions, and this is what makes the album strong. I don't think it's musically amazing, but HMS understands what rocks a party, and this is party music - think a mixture of Shalamar, Jamiroquai, Kool & the Gang, Funkadelic and maybe Basement Jaxx. It's derivative, but it's fun, and un-self-conscious fun is a rare thing. A good one for the car stereo, or for while you're doing the housework!
