In 2008, “Dear Science” brought art rockers TV on the Radio some much deserved and well-earned attention. And with their first single “Will Do” off of the upcoming “Nine Types of Light” (April 12), the band has done it again.
The new track has a glimmering toy piano-synth intro, before lead singer Tunde Adebimpe’s starry-eyed vocals comes in:
It might be impractical to seek out a new romance
We won’t know the actual if we never take the chance
I’d like to collapse with you and ease you against this song
I think we’re compatible, I see that you think I’m wrong
“Will Do” is a decidedly slower song than the big hits of “Dear Science”–”Halfway Home,” “Golden Age” and “Dancing Choose”–but the darting bridge provides a sharp edge to the song’s smooth croon.
