This year, the entire world is shuffling to LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem." So far, the unstoppable track from the Los Angeles-based duo has topped iTunes charts in seven countries, and spent weeks atop the English pop charts in April and May, when the duo kept artists such as Chris Brown and Jennifer Lopez from reaching the number one slot across the pond. As further testament to the global love for the song, the vibrant music video passed twenty million views on Vevo in under two months.
And LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" (featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock), is just the opening round of Redfoo and Sky Blu's forthcoming full-length album, Sorry For Party Rocking (Party Rock/will.i.am/Cherrytree/Interscope). "Sorry for party rocking is a party person's excuse for having fun," explains Redfoo, LMFAO's member known for his gravity-defying afro. "It's the excuse you give when someone complains," he continues. "Let's say your parents say 'stop shuffling upstairs you're waking me up!' You can now just say 'Sorry for party rocking, Mom.sorry for having fun.'" Redfoo's nephew, Sky Blu, echoes the sentiment, minus the apology. "We rock the party and lead by example," says LMFAO's lyrical wordsmith.
The duo is without question having fun in 2011, celebrating their successes by partying to the seriously infectious dance songs they have created, which prove as irresistible to radio as they do to DJs in clubs worldwide. "We make all kinds of records, and we're serious about what we do," says Sky Blu. According to Redfoo, the duo are more than dance/pop music creators..they are scientific spinsters of a carefully crafted soundtrack for a new generation of global party people. With LMFAO's debut and GRAMMY?nominated full length record, 2009's Party Rock, Redfoo showcased a new breed of music that now appeals to radio programmers worldwide.
