Hola everyone.
I guess some of you will already know what and especially who I’m talking about. My babes from Fall Out Boy have finally come back with new music after nearly two years and I can tell you, I’m living for it. It’s quite funny that I just wrote about them a week ago, not knowing something new, something so mind-blowing was just waiting around the corner.
.
Last Saturday Pete Wentz, one of the band members, started teasing about something, a new project named “Purple”. And of course everyone freaked out, especially me, and people started guessing what the project would be. And just yesterday, at around 6 pm it was finally time to reveal the truth.
.
They presented their new album called “Mania” that will come out on the 15th of September. And they gave us the first info of their upcoming tour which will start in October in the US. And of course and most importantly, they uploaded a new song.
.
“Young and Menace” is a song that totally blew me away when I first listened to it. I was shocked, but in a good way, of course. Mostly because it’s so different to anything they’ve ever produced before. The chorus is packed with electronic beats, full of energy. For me, it’s an extremely powerful song and it’s enormous, because if a song can be that it’s this song. I would actually say that it’s quite epic. And I’m 100% sure it’s going to sound absolutely crazy live.
.
I know a lot of people don’t like the song. Because it’s for sure not like their old songs, I wouldn’t call it punk rock. But a lot of people actually really like it, love it, just like me. I don’t think they changed to this more electronic sound to fit better into the current music trends, to be more successful. I think they did it because everyone changes and we can’t expect them to stick to their old sound forever. And I actually really love the fact that they try out new sounds. I think it’s amazing. And I’m living for the whole purple thing going on, it’s so aesthetic.
.
I’m already so looking forward to the european tour dates, I can’t wait to hear them. I hope they either visit my country or come to a city near me. I’d follow them to end of the world, no joke. And I can’t wait for their upcoming album. To be honest I’m quite sad that I’ll have to wait until September to finally get to hear it, but I’m hoping they’ll give us some little bits and pieces beforehand.
.
I’m just really happy that they are finally back. I mean, I just saw them last year, but hearing a completely new sound and getting to hear a new album is extremely exciting. If you give the song a listen, please tell me your opinions, I’m really curious. And until then I hope you enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x
