When I first read about the Scissor Sisters' new album "Night Work", I wasn't thrilled to hear any new music of the band. According to the article, the new album is very much inspired by Berlin's club scene as Scissor Sisters' lead singer Jake Shears spent several months in the German capital. So I expected a lot of hard-pumping electronic beats and was very much surprised when I heard the project's first single, "Fire With Fire". The song has everything I like about a good Killers record! Yes, the Killers! It is not at all a dance record like I thought it would be after reading about the whole album. It is a great, catchy pop song with a nice melody which centers around a hymn-like chorus.
I guess it is somewhat of a trend to sound like the Killers... The Killers' very own Brandon Flowers recently decided to come up with a solo record. "Flamingo" will be released September 6th and is preceded by the single "Crossfire". After listening to this song for a while, I still can't tell why Flowers would want to record a solo record, maintain that this doesn't mean his band is splitting up und still sound like his band on his solo material. Can you?
Watch the Scissor Sisters' new video "Fire With Fire" here (the video itself is rather boring, I have to admit):
And give Brandon Flowers' "Crossfire" - which stars Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron - a look here:
