New Kings Of Leon.
To my relief and surprise (I'm kicking at being a life long pessimist) their new single "Sex on Fire" is still pure Kings Of Leon genius. I don't know how they continue to bring such good material to the table but god damn I'm glad they do. As a music lover who most of the time lives by the mantra "the first album was better" I generally go peh to new tracks and continue to wear out the old material. I get stuck in musical ruts. But this kind of talent keeps me (grudgingly) moving forward.
Sex on Fire. The title that pretty much sums up my feelings of Kings. They have always had this... sexy, rough, dirty edge going. So many of their earlier songs had me pouting and strutting through the city with them playing in my ears. Then tracks like "On Call" come along and all I can think about is strapping on a pair of thigh high leather boots and dancing around a stripper pole whip in hand.
This is probably just me.
Sex on fire is somewhat different. On one hand I want to throw myself around dancing like usual, but on the other I kinda wanna stand there and feel a bit sad without knowing why, with that "Young and the Restless/Days of our lives faraway deep in thought look going on.
Either way its a brilliant track (check it out here) and I will definitely be waiting with baited breath for their album tour next year. I'm considering even now taking a week off work so I can fully appreciate the night in the disgusting trashy rock and fucking roll fashion it so clearly deserves.
