Can HANSON Make the Greatest Comeback Of All-Time?


They've changed their look, cut their hair and even had a few babies along the way. Most people probably don't even kow that HANSON has released four albums since their debut smash album, "Middle Of Nowhere" that featured songs like "MMMBop" and "Where's The Love". Already chalked down as the biggest one-hit-wonder ever, HANSON has a final chance to make the greatest comeback of all-time.

HANSON announced the release of their new record, Shout It Out, on June 8, 2010. It’s a fantastically infectious collection of finely crafted, R&B-flavored pop-rock -- an homage to the music that inspired the band when they started out. The album was recorded in a studio on a 2,000-acre pecan farm in El Paso, Texas, and was produced and written exclusively by HANSON, augmented with special guests: Funk Brothers bassist Bob Babbitt, who played on some of Motown’s greatest hits, as well as horn arranger Jerry Hey, who worked with Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Earth, Wind and Fire and many more.

They released their first music video from the upcoming album today and can be found here:

And yes, that is Weird Al playing the tambourine. I'm diggin' the old school, funky motown sound and would love to see HANSON top the charts again!
