Kings Of Leon Get Spiritual For New Single
The band claim they're "not going to hell" thanks to new video...
Kings Of Leon have offered up a tantalising preview of their new single, 'Radioactive', claiming that the lyrics are "spiritual". In a short clip posted on their official site www.kingsofleon.com, the band are seem shooting a video for the song in barn, complete with a choir of children.
Xfm will be giving 'Radioactive' its first airing at midday on Wednesday September 8.
Jared Followill explained how the song was developed: "Lyrically, the choruses started out being kind of spiritual but the verses were never matched up to them at all. We went into the studio and it wasn't really working, so we were going to scrap the whole song. Celeb went back to an old spiritual song that we had all sung growing up. It does have a kind of spiritual feel for sure, it is kind of where we came from."
Drummer Nathan added, "After my grandma sees this video, she definitely won't think we're going to hell as she did think we were going." Watch the video below:
