Listen to Ben Folds Five's "Draw a Crowd":

Ben Folds Five have reunited to deliver their first new album in 13 years, and all that time off hasn't detracted a bit from quirky geek appeal of the band's signature piano-driven alt-rock. On "Draw a Crowd," the group's cheeky sense of humor rides strong, with Folds singing, "If you're feeling small and you can't draw a crowd/ Draw dicks on a wall," with grinning confidence. Though they're getting older, their attitude from their early days still shines through.

"Draw a Crowd" is on Ben Folds Five's upcoming album, The Sound of the Life of the Mind, out September 18th. It'll be the band's first album of new music since 1999.

Next was formed in Minneapolis when the uncle of Terry "T-Low" and Raphael "Tweety" Brown, who was a gospel choir director, introduced the brothers to Robert Lavelle "R.L." Huggar. Sounds of Blackness singer Ann Nesby groomed the R&B group before handing them over to Naughty by Nature's KayGee, who wrote and produced "Too Close." The idea for the song was sparked "from a conversation we had with several girls at a nightclub," explained T-Low. "It's talking about the club scene, with guys getting out of hand and the female telling him to back up, asking, 'What are you doing?'"
