Auto-tune king T-Pain has finally premiered the music video for Nappy Boy's R&B/pop song, "Best Love Song," off his long-delayed fourth album "RevolveR," hopefully out due soon! "This is gonna be considered the first single," he says of "Best Love Song." "I keep saying that about every song I'm dropping, but I feel like this has the power." The song features Chris Brown, who contributes some un-processed vocals. Lyrically the song finds T-Pain asking the club DJ to help him write the "Best Love Song" to win the heart of his romantic target for the night.T-Pain's favorite love song is Gnarls Barkley's "Blind Mary." But when it comes to making love he prefers the "you know, normal stuff," T-Pain, the party-loving nappyhead who crept into peoples' hearts asking if he could 'buy you a drank' through his AutoTune crooning. So often, a love song can win a girl's heart. But what if she's got two rival crooners after her? And more importantly, what happens if it's in AutoTune? Difficult question, and one that songwriters extraordinaire T-Pain and Brown seek to answer in the new video for their new song, very appropriately titled, "Best Love Song."
"If you look at things now," he said. "I think that love making has gone to another level since those days. It's a whole lot of love making these days." As he prepares his oft-delayed album, T-Pain is looking to creep into more hearts with the Edgar Wright-directed video for "Best Love Song" with Brown. This isn't the first time both have put an affaire de coeur to music. But despite the competitive nature between the two R&B artists in the "Best Love Song" video, T-Pain admits that when it comes to love songs, Brown is the best man for the job.
The video sets up a battle of the bands-like competition, with the best song winning the contest and, ostensibly, the girl's heart. The battle and video concept are based on the bass battle in the movie "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World." The duo face off in a battle of the one-man bands on stage, attempting to impress the girl of their dreams by lending their musical talents to the drums, guitar and keyboard. However, T-Pain nor Brown end up with the girl in the end, as she walks away, clutching the hand of a dirty, bearded rock dude. We assume his rap song didn't work.
