Before there were Jonas Brothers, there was Hanson. These dudes (brothers Zac, Taylor and Isaac) were the O.G.'s; cuter than puppies playing in a pile of pink cotton candy. Hanson's signature sound: soulful, bubblegum pop-rock that made us all say "MMMBop," whether we wanted to or not.

Now, as die-hard Hanson and Tinted Windows (Taylor Hanson's superband side project) fans know, the boys are all grown up (with boys of their own). They've dropped the whole summer camp counselor wardrobe thing, polished up their look and matured into a classic adult-contemporary sound, full of blue-eyed soul with a twinge of rootsy Americana.

"Thinking 'Bout Somethin'" is the first single from Hanson's upcoming album, Shout It Out. With its joyous horns, lovely harmonies and cowbell-infused beat, it recalls the undeniable beauty of classic Stevie Wonder singles such as "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)" and "Sugar."

Check out "Thinking Bout' Somethin'" here. Shout It Out Loud is due out June 8.
