It's the Sex!

There’s no doubt about it, Kings of Leon’s new amorous download single: “Sex on Fire” is the hottest thing to hit the musical airwaves of late. The band are huge in themselves, coming a long way since their major breakthrough in 2003, they’re now one of the biggest headliners you could wish to have on any festival line-up, and there’s no stopping them. Continuously touring and finding time to produce their fabulous fourth album: “Only by the Night” later this month, the world is definitely their oyster.
This super, sexy single is more than just about lust. It’s about more than sex; it’s actually about love as you will completely fall for this hit. In all honesty, according to last.fm, I’ve listened to :Sex on Fire” more than 60 times in one week, more or less looped and I’m still lusting to hear it again, more so than the first time. So it’s tried and tested than you can’t tire of it. From the screaming vocals of Caleb to the rhythmic heartbeat of the drums, and to the yearning guitars, it certainly gets right into your system. It is stylish, it is sexy and puts you in the mood for some serious flirting (if not just with the music), reminding you of the typical scenario of boy-meets-girl at a gig, with this little stunner playing in the background of course. This song makes you want to go out there and find this feeling; astonishing.
“Sex on Fire” is already highly popular, frequently appearing on MTV, Kerrang, and is a regular on Zane Lowe’s Radio One Show backed by his own rave reviews, and you just know it’s going to be played across all the major venues and clubs, and as for being played live, it’ll be HUGE what with those riffs! We really ought to take the time out to applaud KOL’s captivating genius on this one. It’s commanding, entrancing and beautiful and all of the elements and structure of the song are synched superbly, from “All the commotion” down to the simple, yet impressionistic “Your sex is on fire!” you can’t help but repeatedly listen to this 3.23 minutes of pure sex. The song is also reminiscent from the sexual undertones of the bass to the lyrics, of Joy Division’s “Transmission”: “make love to the beat of the song” which you envisage as you dance away. The lyrics are as passionate as the music, from the blunt, bold statement of the chorus to the alluring and tuneful “Yoooooooooouuuuuu!” belted from Followill, communicating directly with the listener and gaining their full attention.
The Followill clan have created yet another wonderful array of music and meaning to add to the collection of theirs, ready to leaving you craving more…music that is, not sex!
