New Politics released a new single on Sept. 23 to give listeners a taste of what their third album could entail.
This is the Denmark band’s fifth single since they formed in 2009. With the success of their biggest hit “Harlem” last year, the band landed opening spots on desirable tours such as Fall Out Boy, Paramore, and Pink. Their current headlining tour is guaranteed to propel them into the realm of more recognizable alternative rock bands.
“Everywhere I Go (Kings and Queens)” is geared toward young adults, ideally college-age, who just want to hear a song they don’t have to think about. The commanding tone of the song is full of angst and demands attention. While it may seem like an immature theme, everyone needs a full-out reckless anthem to turn the mood around after a long day. The lead vocalist chants “All the giving, the taking, the taking, the giving/We’ve taken enough, it’s enough, it’s enough/So just sing.” With the thumping drum beat and persistent lyrics, the energy is relentless.
The song is easily relatable for those times when you’re just fed up with the ways of the world, which can be fairly often. The only issue with the single will be increasing the popularity via radio because of the countless f-bombs dropped throughout.
3.5/5
