A shot from the "Team America" set: pure puppet polemics and politics previewed.

Had to post this ASAP before the next show airs: Trevor Nelson previews cuts from The R's new double album Happy People/U Saved Me on his "Soul Nation" radio show on the UK's BBC Radio 1. Kels sounds like he is pimping the Chocolate Factory/"Step in the Name of Love" formula a little too heavy but you can't front on the incredibly lush, soulful production that he's perfected over the past couple of years. "Steppin' into Heaven", one of the tracks from the album: holy smokes, absolute musical bliss. Put on your gators and mustard colored silk suit, find a honey and get your 2-step on when this drops Tuesday.
