When we wrote about Nelly's 'Brass Knuckles' album back in May we included what might have been a world exclusive review of one of the album's best tracks, 'Lie'. Unfortunately for anybody interested in what the song actually sounded like, our review extended to two words, and those two words — suspend your disbelief for one moment, viewers — were 'really' and 'amazing'.
For that reason you might be pleased to hear that the song is out and about doing its pre-released business (ie it has leaked) so now you can hear it. It's a duet with Keri Hilson and the chorus is simple, charming, understated and romantic.
"She's a motherfucking liar."
"She said you met her last summer."
"She's a motherfucking liar."
"She says you're exchanging numbers."
"She's a motherfucking liar."
You can listen to the track here; expect a Same Difference Live Lounge cover by the end of the year.
(Apropos of nothing, we also noted in our review of 'Brass Knuckles' that one of the songs sounds a bit like 'Mambo #5', a song which will never go out of fashion.)
