It’s not really important to run down the individual features of what makes every song on Shout it Out a killer. Shout it Out is the indisputable evidence of said maturation. They knew their way around an authentic hook even then (have you ever tried to stop singing “MMMBop” to yourself once you’ve started?), and their melodic sensibility has grown and coalesced into something absolutely mighty during their more than 15 years of writing, playing, and recording as a unit. Yes, they were cute, and that’s a big part of the reason they got huge, but it sure as hell wasn’t the only reason. From the beginning, Hanson was a pop BAND, not mere pop SINGERS, and as such, it was always more about the songs with them than about the glitz and the dance moves.
And, as you already know unless you’ve been lucky enough to remain unaware of the growing legions of Team Bieber zealots, we still haven’t seen the ebb of lovelorn middle-schoolers capable of dominating the pop charts.īut now, with the benefit of more than a decade of hindsight, it’s easy to discern at least one major qualitative difference between the brothers Hanson and the droves of their commercial tween-pop successors. But after Hanson? We had a veritable tidal wave of precocious crooners screeching on and on about love and incipient sexuality (in what could be seen as increasingly creepy, prematurely advanced ways). Prior to the runaway success of Hanson’s major-label debut album Middle of Nowhere, it had been a long time since anybody gave enough a crap about what a 12-year-old pop singer had to say about love to make such an act a hit. Basically, I believed at the time that Hanson’s success opened the door for a fairly widespread infantilization of pop music. Jeez, when that song came out, I couldn’t stand those kids, and I grew to dislike what I perceived to be their influence on the mainstream music scene even more. Zac, Taylor, and Isaac Hanson are likely to wear a giant, “MMMBop”-shaped albatross around their necks the rest of their lives.
The tour continues through Australia and America until the end of October.If those fans’ minds aren’t already made up about Hanson. Hanson started from June 2017 with a new tour called "Middle of Everywhere 25th Anniversary Tour". In 2011 the band had a guest role in the clip of Katy Perry: Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F) In June 2011 they gave a performance at the Pinkpop music festival in the Netherlands.
On their previous album The Walk you will find the song "Great Divide" that can be downloaded via the internet and the proceeds of which go to HIV / AIDS and poverty alleviation in Africa. After difficulties with their last record company, they decided to start their own record company, which was baptized 3CG Records. They released the last 4 albums under their own management. MMMBop was in first place in the charts in 27 countries and in 1998 gave the band three Grammy nominations.Īfter this it became a bit quieter around Hanson, but in the last few years they released 5 albums. The boys first broke through in the Netherlands and Flanders in 1997 with their hit MMMBop, from the album Middle of Nowhere. Hanson is an American band consisting of the three brothers Isaac (November 17, 1980), Taylor (March 14, 1983) and Zac (October 22, 1985) Hanson.
