Har Mar debuted his upcoming new single DUI (which stands for Dialing Under the Influence) due out in the UK on August 16th (more info here) saying "This next song is going to make a lot of people a lot of money!" a theme he returned to more than once later in his show.

 Guardian | Har Mar Superstar
Har Mar may be short, mustachioed and, not to put too fine a point on it, fat, but he sees these as plus points.
Amazingly, the more clothing Har removes over the course of 30 minutes - first a sequined waistcoat, then T-shirt and trousers - the more he is egged on by girls in the front row.
Har Mar's business is spreading love, and it seems that the combination of semi-nudity and grinding cabaret-R&B never fails to get the message across.

 BBC - Southampton - Music - Har Mar Superstar Review
Har Mar is an abbreviation of another of his alter egos, Harold Martin.
With tongue planted firmly in cheek from the outset, Har Mar takes to the stage in his trademark red robe and, flanked by three skantily clad female dancers, proceeds to seduce the audience.
Har Mar's love of classic soul and motown then comes into play as he covers Stevie Wonder's Sir Duke, although he doesn't quite get to all the high notes.

 VH1.com : Har Mar Superstar - Urge Music Downloads
They just don't have "it." When Har Mar performs, there are no dancers in matching uniforms, no elaborate sets, and no pyrotechnics, just a chubby, balding Midwestern boy with a penchant for both T and A and Stevie Wonder.
Har Mar strides on stage in a robe, grabs the mic, and in front of sold-out crowds, shakes his booty and strips, while pretty young things stuff his briefs with dollar bills.
And the fact that Har Mar's notions of beauty defy the norm, he empowers his listeners to be as freaky as they wanna be.

Har Mar's vocal soar, and there's even a harmonica riff that pays homage to "Isn't She Lovely." Light as a helium balloon and sweet as cotton candy, "Sugar Pie" is bound to make many people happy.
Har Mar sounds more sedate and thoughtful here, with lyrics like "These words are my son, this hotel room my wife." The song slowly builds, with a strumming guitar added to the mix during the second verse.
Har Mar sings about his lust for a materialistic "little girl." Northern State's playful interruption in the song's latter half provides a playful counterpoint to the loverman's lusty intentions.

 Har Mar Superstar: You Can Feel Me - PopMatters Music Review
Har Mar won't dazzle anyone with his pipes or lyrical acumen (well, actually, he already has, but they should all know better), but he's got a deft touch with catchy dance hooks and infectious melodies.
This silly dance-along anthem is where Har Mar inspires comparisons to Morris Day, whose silly dance-along anthems "The Bird" and "Oak Tree" were some of the best guilty pleasures of the '80s.
Maybe that's the point, but I think it's a mistake for Har Mar to surround himself with collaborators more amateurish than he is. His shtick works best when his supporting cast maintains the illusion that the "Superstar" part of the show is real.

 The Handler - Har Mar Superstar - Song Listings
Har Mar Superstar played the irony of the contrast between Tillman's look and sound to the hilt, and You Can Feel Me added major-label bling to the mix; while both albums had more than a few fun moments, they weren't exactly consistent.
On Har Mar's third album, The Handler, the fun moments are fewer, and the disappointments more frequent; there's nothing as clever as "Power Lunch" or as gleeful as "EZ Pass" here.
Throughout the album, Tillman sounds less confident than he ever has before, deploying backing vocalists to underscore affirmations like "Har Mar is so sexy!" and shout "woo!" on "Transit" and "Body Request" to remind everyone (including himself) of how much fun we're supposed to be having.

 Har Mar Superstar @ Academy 3
Har Mar understands that music this joyous and life-affirming demands movement and theatrics so tonight he arrives in a red cape and sequinned head band, later reveals a yellow ragga-style vest and white towelling socks before finally stripping to his y-fronts.
The stage spectacular undoubtedly keeps improving as the Har Mar cult expands, but it is at the expense of interaction with the crowd.

Now raise your head up once more, because the revival of The Funk starts here and Har(old) Mar(tin Tillman) Superstar is the man working the defibrillator.
It's no exaggeration to say that the last artiste to funk this dirtily was Prince in his prime - and he didn't do too badly for himself.
You can hear the echoes of Minneapolis' funkiest in Har's ludicrously self-aggrandising intro (thanking us all for his swish new car) and then we plunge into a gleeful mess of electro, hip-hop beats, bad-ass rhyming, Vocoder madness and handclaps (his and yours).

 SOUNDTHESIRENS.COM - Review :: Har Mar Superstar - The Handler
Even if you're a man. Har Mar Superstar seems to have spent the last year listening to early Prince, Stevie Wonder, and seemingly, Hall and Oates, although I'm sure the Hall and Oates was purely ironic.
Anyway, Har Mar seems less enthused with electric bleeping and squelching this time around, swapping it for some surprisingly authentic soul, RandB and some hilariously bad rapping.
You're better than this, Har Mar. Next song “Save the Strip” is also a bit rubbish: the same forgettable boy-band vibe, although with some pretty filthy lyrics.

 Har Mar Superstar: Har Mar Superstar: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
With competition like that out there, Har Mar is a bold project for Tillmann to undertake.
"Hypercolor tells me where my baby is hot," Har Mar croons, "'cause I can see her sweatpants getting dark in the crotch." "I Admit" updates Berlin's late-80s hit "Take My Breath Away" with even cheesier keyboards and confessional boy/girl vocals, in which Har Mar and cohort Mandar come clean about brake-tampering and secret vasectomies.
In other words, you may want to take Har Mar Superstar home for a night or two, but there's not much chance you're going to be playing him for your parents a few months from now.

 Zeeks - Har Mar Superstar: J.lo Is Dull And Talentless
JENNIFER LOPEZ lacks singing skills and is devoid of a personality, according to wacky dance star HAR MAR SUPERSTAR.
Har Mar was approached by J.Lo to pen her a hit song in rapid time, but his composing talents failed to impress the pop star - and she never even recorded the tune.
But Har Mar believes his song lacked impact because it's impossible to write for a singer who doesn't possess a personality or decent vocals.

 IGN: The Handler Review
On many tracks, like the chilled-out "O," Har Mar seems to want to genuinely offer some soul, and on that song at least he doesn't even make that much of an embarrassment of himself, but I challenge you to remember the song two hours later.
Har Mar's not clever, and the music's too thin to hold up on its own.
Sadly, Har Mar doesn't give us much reason not to take him seriously, which makes the insipid lyrics and pilfered soul styling just really, really awkward.
