How do you put blossoming love for a newly discovered band into words? It's nearly impossible but I'm going to try because darn it I just LOVE Kings of Leon. This is, simply put, the music I've been waiting for all my life. Rarely ever do I buy/download whole albums and I think the last CD (Danko Jones - I still have a place in my heart for you too) I purchased was about 3 years ago. That is until I picked up Aha Shake Heartbreak a few weeks back. I haven't, and I mean this in all seriousness, I have not stopped listening to it. It's hands down, down right dirty wonderful, sing to the top of my lungs, jam out in my car and every where else, fantastic. The whole album. Not just the single, not just the first three songs, the whole album.
And I love everything else I've heard from their other albums as well. Now I admit, I only came to know KOL after hearing their hit Sex on Fire. Does that make me any less of fan, some die hards say yes and I say get the stick out of your ass you stuck up music snob. Music like this is meant to have followers, many many followers and whether they were fans from the first lyric or won't catch on until the next album, it doesn't matter as long as they are listening.
As much as I've enjoyed every drum beat and guitar strum I do have a few favorites and one of them being Soft. Yes, it is a song about not being able to perform and it sounds SOOOOO good. Never since and never again will you hear a woman say that. So please click the link, enjoy, spread the word and fall in love kids because this is where it's at.
