Nathaniel Motte and Sean Foreman's party-ready sound defined late-2000s pop with hooks and wordplay.
For that late-2000s time capsule sound, 'Don't Trust Me' still hits. 'My First Kiss' with Ke$ha shows how their cheeky pop could cross over.
When 'Don't Trust Me' broke in 2008, it wasn't just another dance track. The song's clever wordplay and catchy hooks gave their debut album 'Want' a specific energy that felt both irreverent and undeniable. That mix of provocation and pop appeal became their signature through tracks like 'Blah Blah Blah' and 'My First Kiss' with Ke$ha.
Motte and Foreman started making music together in Colorado Springs around 2004 after meeting at a high school party. Their early demos got turned down, but they kept at it with live shows until 'Want' arrived in 2008. They've released several albums since, including 'Streets of Gold' in 2010 and 'Night Sports' in 2016, with their sound shifting some from those early party anthems.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
