After returning late last year with his four-song "In Technicolor – Part 1" EP, Jesse McCartney is back at it again with a different style. It is a mix of pop, Justin Timberlake, Micheal Jackson, and a lot of his originality. He spent his Valentine's Day shooting the music video for his new pop-funk single, "Superbad," the lead single taken from McCartney's upcoming full-length studio album "In Technicolor," an authentic 70s disco-pop record that was influenced by music he loved growing up. Get ready for the Mini Leo DiCaprio and his Gatsby flavor sound!
Driven by a sleek strumming baseline and funky guitar strums, "Superbad" is a classy yet sexy funky pop number that puts McCartney in the same space as Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke with its cool disco vibe and smooth vocals. The funky baseline is also reminiscent of the late great Michael Jackson. The 27-year-old artist chose some big names to call on for his head-bopping tune, and the influences sound great behind his amazing vocals. "My girl is superbad, superstar, got no time for photographs," McCartney sings in his new single. It has an R&B funk feel that is sure to get the girls dancing.
Listening to the lyrics, where the grown-up pop star boasts that his girl is "super bad/ That's a fact/ Knock the train right off the track/ Watch out," we think he might have been trying to show off the amazing brunette he landed. At times it feels a little cheesy, but we can appreciate that McCartney's just trying to praise his lady. While it certainly isn't anything mind-blowing, I think the song comes together nicely and is unexpectedly sophisticated. "[In Technicolor] is my proudest musical achievement to date," McCartney told Billboard. "It's been really challenging, but also much more rewarding to be doing this independently. I'm really excited for this next phase."
The accompanying music video starts off with a cinematic scene featuring McCartney driving a sweet-looking new classic car home from Las Vegas on a Sunday afternoon with a total bombshell called Giselle. Skip to the next scene and McCartney is in a mansion and lights up a cigar. After the one minute introduction, the song begins. His girl is dresses up in different outfits to model for him. She gets dressed up in a fur coat to only take it off to reveal her body dressed the lingerie beneath. Now the scene changes to a pool setting and she gets into the pool to put on a show for him. When the night scene comes, you can probably guess what happens. Obviously, McCartney tries to prove that his girl is superbad and has both a classy and sexy side to herself.
