Kings Of Leon Reveal New Album Tracklisting

Kings Of Leon have revealed the final tracklisting to their new album entitled “Only by the Night”.

The new album, their fourth studio record, has 11 tracks and is due for release on 22^nd September. The full track-listing to “Only By The Night” is:

1. ‘Closer’
2. ‘Crawl’
3. ‘Sex On Fire’
4. ‘Use Somebody’
5. ‘Manhattan’
6. ‘Revelry’
7. ‘Seventeen’
8. ‘Notion’
9. ‘I Want You’
10. ‘Be Somebody’
11. ‘Cold Desert’

The first single planned for release is “Sex on Fire”, due out on 15^th September, in just enough time to wet our appetites for the full album release a week later.

The band admits though that the unusual title for the first single came about in rather a different way. In an interview with NME this week, Kings of Leon front man, Caleb Followill is quoted as saying :

“I just had this melody and I didn’t know what to say, and one day I just sang this sex is on fire’ and I laughed and the other guys are like ‘what are you laughing at?’. I thought it was terrible, but they were like ‘It’s good, it’s got a hook’. I was like ‘Fuck off!’ but I ended up writing it. There’s an element of sex that’s expected in our songs, so I tried to wrap it all up in one song.”

You can listen to the new single on YouTube here.
