Kings of Leon, WALLS, October 14th

Caleb Followill, lead singer of Kings of Leon, has one of the most recognizable and unforgettable male voices in alternative rock. We have their explosive single from 2008 “Sex on Fire” to thank. At least partially.

But because of their rock sound and Caleb’s undeniable voice, it was hard not to notice “Waste A Moment” when it came on the radio. Not only was I pleasantly surprised to be hearing a new Kings of Leon single, pretty soon I was tapping my foot and dancing along in my car, without a care in the world.

"All the way from Waco to WE-HO with a rabbit on her chain Drove a little slick car to tend bar with the static on her brain She’s a little burner, burner, gonna throw you to the flame Little ticking time bomb, time bomb, gonna blow us all away Oh, take the time to waste a moment Oh, never ask to be forgiven Sexy was her boyfriend, with no kin, always running from the law Every other weekend, the week ends with his back at her claw He’s a live wire, wired, shooting sparks in the night He’s a gun for a hire, hired with a bead in his sights -“Waste a Moment”"

WALLS, their seventh album, is an acronym for “We are like love songs” and the album includes ten new tracks. The album was produced by Markus Dravs who has previously produced for Arcade Fire, Florence and The Machine and Coldplay.
