Snoop Dogg shows he's still got some surprises up his sleeve on his new single "Sensual Seduction" (Geffen), where he sings the entire song - using a vocoder no less - and only raps a little. The result is catchy and somehow still current, like T-Pain taking on a late '70s Barry White classic. If Snoop can deliver a smash like this straight out of left field, the rest of his forthcoming "Ego Trippin'" album, due early next year, could be another ambitious change of pace.
And the drenched-in-1979 video can only help things, complete with keytars and "Solid Gold" dancers.
