My Take
Babydaddy, born Scott Hoffman, reads to me as the smart, stylish architect behind the music. A Houston native and Columbia University graduate, he became the multi-instrumentalist, backing vocalist and composer powering the glam-rock outfit Scissor Sisters, even earning an Ivor Novello Award. Switching between banjo and guitar suggests a wide, curious sonic palette. With a brother who is also a comedian and musician, he clearly hails from an entertainment-minded family. I tend to value the people who build a song's skeleton over those who merely front it, and he is exactly that kind of indispensable craftsman.
