The transition from Broadway to pop stardom isn’t what it once was. A few go the way of Heather Headley to the top of the charts; most go the way of Ethel Merman’s disco album to the cult “classic” bin.
But you have to love the chances of actor/composer Nick Blaemire (Glory Days, Godspell). His band Nick Blaemire and the Hustle have a neo-soul groove that works the Adam Levine angle with a healthy dollop of white boy inflected Dap Kings. Their new video for “Complete” just hit and it’s a pretty hooky blast of fun, putting the spotlight on Blaemire’s adorkableness…or as they put it, his #nerdsoul.
Watch it for yourself and then tell me you didn’t start dancing around the room a little…
