Editorial Reviews
Before Hot Chelle Rae "fueled up the Jeep with bubbly elasti-funk and breezy hip-hop swagger" (as Entertainment Weekly put it) with their brand new single "I Like It Like That," the Nashville-based quartet scored a bonafide breakthrough smash hit over the last several months with "Tonight Tonight." Declared "one of the catchiest pop-rock anthems of the summer" by USA Today, "Tonight Tonight" crashed into the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in July like an unruly teenager, shot to No. 1 at Hot AC radio in September, was certified double-platinum in the U.S., and certified platinum in Canada and Australia. Meanwhile, its hilarious video (featuring a cameo by guitarist Nash Overstreet's brother, Glee's Chord Overstreet) has racked up nearly 30 million views online, energizing the group's active, devoted fan base. But it wasn t until Jon Stewart sang a snippet of its chorus on The Daily Show that the band realized just how thoroughly "Tonight Tonight" had penetrated the mainstream.
Hot Chelle Rae began working on WHATEVER at the end 2010, traveling from Nashville to Los Angeles and New York for writing and recording sessions with various collaborators, including Emanuel Kiriakou (Jason Derulo, Selena Gomez), Evan Bogart (Adam Lambert, Rihanna), S*A*M & Sluggo (Boys Like Girls, Cobra Starship, Gym Class Heroes) and rising star production trio Andrew Goldstein, Dan Book, and Alexei Misoul. They emerged with a clutch of fizzy sing-alongs, like the current single "I Like It Like That" (featuring hip-hop duo New Boyz and inspired by memories of crazy nights out in Nashville), quirky break-up song "Honestly," be-yourself anthem "Beautiful Freaks," finger-snapper "Radio," as well as heartfelt tracks like "Keep You With Me" and "Why Don t You Love Me."

The album was $3.99, which is really why I got it. Like a lot of other people who listen to the radio, "Tonight, Tonight" has been stuck in my head for awhile so I figured I may as well. I listened to the samples for awhile, and none of the other songs particularly struck me but... $3.99, right? This is how I have no money.
Anyway.
One thing that's worth noting is that most of the songs on 'Whatever' sound the same.
Apparently they all contribute to vocals, but each song sounds like the same guy going for the high-pitched screechy voice and achieving it well. "Tonight, Tonight;" "Whatever;" and "Forever Unstoppable," which are a lot less painful to listen to.
Actually, "Forever Unstoppable" has a unique sound. It's a lot different from most of the rest of the songs on the album, and that's refreshing because the rest of them are really similar.
"The Only One," is another try for a slightly slower song. Unfortunately, the chorus ruins it.
"Why Don't You Love Me," is the obligatory love ballad. The vocals behind it are more stable than "The Only One," and a lot of the other songs. Demi Lovato compliments this vocalist well. The song itself is a little... bland. But that's likely to happen when it comes to sad love songs, so...
Overall, the album is worth $3.99, but I wouldn't spend more than $5 on it.
Highlights include "Tonight, Tonight" "Radio" and "Beautiful Freaks."
Happy Listening!

A connection to Glee? A song played a lot on the radio? Can't think of a band who'd be more open to criticism from the narrow minded pop and rock critics out there,who still probably think underneath it all dark and dreary is the way to go musically,and further more who view anything with a visual media connection as suspect.What this Nashville band,led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Ryan Follese,have to offer is not another cookie cutter variation of the same sort of sound that all too many often talented individuals are offering up in sometimes desperate cries out for the listeners attention. Naw there's something different here. Something I like and something not heard too often in new music.
What that something is amounts to the synergy created by a combination of highly singable pop melodies and generally churning,rhythmic guitar based funk. The first two numbers "I Like It Like That" and of course "Tonight Tonight",a song I had trouble getting out of my head and feet. "Radio" is my favorite here,as it gets right down into that groove and stays here. Even far more pop/rocky numbers such as "Honestly","Keep You With Me",the title song,"Forever Unstoppable" and "Downtown Girl" are filled with energy,drive and general strength. "Beautiful Freaks" delivers on an atypically rhythmically potent EDM style number whereas "Why Don't You Love You" and "The Only One" deliver on symphonic epic pop.
This is one of those few albums I've ever heard where the entire album sounds like one big hit single melodically. Every single song here is so well and carefully constructed it does so even without sounding particularly contrived as such.... Read more ›

I couldn't find their song anywhere, because I couldn't remember the lyrics so I convinced myself that I had made up the song, Tonight, Tonight. After a week of thinking that I was going nuts, I heard the song again as I was running late for work and was glad to find out that I already had the song on my ipod, and had for months. That being said, when I saw they had a full length album out I was happy to download it. It's fun and easy to listen to.

I originally was going to order just the song Tonight, Tonight because my son loves it. After previewing the entire album, I decided to purchase. Catchy and poppy party tunes.
