Can I get an Amen?

Hola everyone.

Guys, you are not going to believe what happened two days ago. So, I was sat in my flat, minding my own business, scrolling through my Instagram feed and then I saw it. A new picture by Panic! at the Disco. And at first I was like “oh cool, a new pic, looks amazing”. But it looked too good. Too good to be just another pic like the others. No no no. So I looked at the description and then I saw it. It really wasn’t just a normal pic, it was the freaking album cover for the new freaking album called “Pray for the Wicked” that will be out at the 22nd of June. I almost threw my phone.

.

What I love the most about this is how it all happened out of nowhere. I mean, I noticed that Brendon was doing new shows in America and the headlining part at Reading/Leeds festival this year was also quite conspicuous, but I just thought that those were shows for fun. But oh wow, I was so wrong. And that just added up to my shock/surprise. And I love surprises. Even more if they include a new album by one of my favorite artists.

.

But it didn’t end there, no no. Of course I immediately went online and saw that the new album wasn’t the only surprise. In a matter of about five hours, Panic! had released not only one, but two new songs, one even with a music video to go together and they had announced a new tour (no european tour dates so far, so stay tuned). And just to mention it, the video for “Say Amen (Saturday Night)” is freaking amazing and excuse me, but Brendon is so attractive, he could be on fire and it still wouldn’t top his hotness. Holy moly. That immediately reminded me of when I saw him live in Berlin. Don’t be fooled guys, that hotness doesn’t only exist in the cinematic universe of this video. No. You know, Brendon is that kind of guy that just lights up a room. He just takes over the whole room. And he knows it, he knows of his attractiveness. I mean, look at him, of course he does.

.

But before I brabble on and on about the video and Brendon, just take a look and see for yourself:

.

Apart from the pretty freaky video, which is a prequel of “This is Gospel” and “Emperor’s New Clothes“, by the way, the song is so fantastic. I can’t really explain why, but it just sounds so epic to me. Like really really epic. Also, it’s pretty much the coolest song for a Saturday night (well duh).

.

The second song they released is titled “(Fuck A) Silver Lining“, which between those two has to be my favorite so far. I just can’t get past the cherries on top part, it’s just too cute. Also, it sounds quite happy which makes me happy, so of course I have to love it.

 

.

But all two songs are mindblowingly good. I don’t know how Brendon’s voice just keeps getting better and better. I mean, he sounds like a literal angel – which he actually is, as some might say. I’m just really really glad that they (he) are finally back with new music and that it was also such a pleasant surprise. I seriously can’t wait to hear the full album. And of course I need to attend the tour, I want to, I have to.

.

So yeah guys, that just happened. I would be very interested in hearing some of your opinions about the new Panic! music, so please don’t hesitate to leave a comment down below. And, as always, I hope you’re all doing good and I wish you all an amazing weekend. And of course thanks for reading. x

Ps: Before I forget it, I also wanted to tell you guys that I won’t be uploading any posts next week, as I’m celebrating my 22nd birthday next Monday and am then flying to London to see Fall Out Boy, which I’m more than excited about. So please stay tuned for some cool postings about this trip. Until then I wish you all the best.

Awesome new music

Hola everyone.

The day has come. The time is here. Two Door Cinema Club AND Kings of Leon have both released their new albums after waiting for what felt like ages. And of course I need to talk about them. With you. Now.

.
You probably guessed it. And yes, I have indeed already bought both albums. And of course right when they got released, I just had to. And I can tell you, they are both breathtakingly amazing. But first things first, let’s go through album by album.

Gameshow by Two Door Cinema Club

If you are a fan of this band, you probably had to go through a tough time, waiting for them to release new music, missing them when they were on their break. And now they are FINALLY back. Thank god. The album itself is a masterpiece, but certainly not for the “old” TDCC fans. Because this album certainly is a change. Less guitars, more beats. Less drums, more syhntic sounds. The whole album feels like a ride back to disco music from the 80s or 90s. But it kind of really fits.

.
Honestly, I was a little bit disappointed at first but the more you listen to the songs, the more you get into them. And I can actually see them on stage, turning the disco songs into cool indie pop with their still so well beloved guitars.

.
Overall the album is a huge change, but a good one. There are songs that are more on the funky side but also some for people who would rather stick to the guitar indie pop, like their song Gameshow. I think that every single indie fan should reallyyyy give this album a listen, you won’t regret. And I can just tell you, I’ve been listening to the album every day since it came out and it makes me more and more excited for their upcoming tour and the day I’ll get to hear all the amazing new songs live.

.
In short:

  • Album overall: amazing new funky sound but definitely a change – in a good way of course
  • My favorite songs: Gameshow and Sucker (this one really gives you a cool Halloween spook vibe)

WALLS by Kings of Leon

Let’s be honest, KOL have always been an amazing band. But this album right there is a whole other thing. Like I said to my friend, the album is a revelation. Every single song is better than the other one, which just adds to its awesomeness.

.
Actually, I think that is album is also a huge change for this band. It has more of a indie and relaxed vibe to it. So it’s perfect it you just want to chill and listen to some really freaking awesome music. Personally, I like the change from rock to more indie, but I guess that some people might not. But hey, you can never satify everyone.

.
Overall, I think the album is really really amazing and also their best one so far. There are more upbeat songs and also some that are more laid back. But every single one is great and Caleb’s voice is the highlight, for real. So I can just highly recommend it to all of you.

.

In short:

  • The album overall: also a new sound but a really amazing one, full of awesome lyrics, beats and sounds
  • My favorite songs: Waste A Moment, All Around The World, Find Me

.

.

So guys, there you go. Two amazing albums, two great chances to here some new music and my overall opinion. Honestly, I love both bands with all of my heart and I can’t wait to hear and see them live again. And I can just recommend them to all of you. If any of you have already listened to the album or want to chat about anything else, I’m here. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x
