Fri, Jan 22, Har Mar Superstar

If your eyes can handle the visual assault that is Har Mar Superstar (think aging porn star) then your ears will thank you for this crooner’s futuristic take on R&B. With a sound that’s equal parts Justin Timberlake, Beck and Kool & the Gang, the artist originally known as Sean Tillman brings sexy back in a fashion that’s at once awkward and awesome, soulful and boogie-inducing. Har Mar’s latest album, Dark Touches, is chock-full of sensual beats; deep, booty-shaking grooves; and improbably off-kilter lyrics about manicures, cheap beer and party hook-ups. Sure it’s more than a little shticky, but you’re having fun, right? Chill out and get down already. 1517 21st Street, www.harmarsuperstar.com.
