Lupe Fiasco almost went to hell and back with his label, Atlantic Records, but quicker than anyone expected things turned around and his album had a release date. Lasers is now scheduled for a March 8, 2011 release. Even though singles were released from the project, a new song entitled “The Show Goes On” will now take the lead from the project.

Sonically, “The Show Goes On” is catchy and holds a better melody than most things Fiasco. The song is a well garnished appetizer that will catch on well with the radio. Of course some things are sacrificed and in this case it’s the depth and substance that’s missing from the regular Fiasco track. This is no surprise because whilst Fiasco is a true artist he is not a big seller or one to chart high. Primarily, this song will get the regular listener interested in the Lasers project before half of them run away due to the fact that the album does not contain mindless/bite-size tunes.
