This song has leaked. I'm not sure if it's a single or not but assuming 'Time' is still going to be the leadoff single from the new album, I'm guessing it's not, at least not until the Fall at the earliest. Anywho, no idea if this song will be on the new album as well but check it out anyhow. (LOL) www.themaxonline.net/music/mb/songs/best_friend.mp3

It's pretty different... but if it's reminiscent of the style on your new album, then I'm excited for it ;D Nice to hear another collab with you and Rob, I loved "Everybody's Here".

From the mb website:
"apr.7|2007
a brand new song has finally surfaced titled best friend. you can download the song by clicking here. it features rob64, who has collaborated with mb on a number of songs back in 2001 and 2002. this is their first song together since then and it is the first of which has been completely written and produced by mb.
the song supposedly won't be on the new collection of songs which is being prepared for online release by mid-august. the entire song for time will be up in a few weeks so keep checking back for that as well as a new website."
And if you click the "disc" part of the site, it lists Sneakers On A Telephone Wire as being released in August and in the singles section actually does list 'Best Friend' as a "promo digital release". Probably the same as those songs that hit iTunes before the album comes out but aren't considered as "official" singles?

Now John needs to release "Mercy" on there...

As a result of 'Best Friend', 'The Fear' is #1 on the Singer/Songwriter chart, 'Evolve' is #4 on the Rock chart and 'Evolve' is #29 overall with 'The Fear' at #30 overall.
Multi-format success!

Probably your best effort yet - love the beginning and the end, but the middle falls apart. The rap sounds okay at times but the phrasing isn't natural enough.
All criticism aside though, the more you keep doing these songs, the better you're getting!

Yeah, Rob was going to redo the rap since it didn't sound like I was hoping. The flow is alittle off but considering it took him over 4 months to get around to doing this, I didn't feel like waiting to hold my breath. lol
