We The Kings : Strange Love Review

We The Kings are an American rock 5-piece from Florida. Band members include: Travis Clark on lead vocals, Hunter Thomsen on lead guitar, Danny Duncan on Drums, Charles Trippy on Bass and Coley O’Toole on keyboard. Releasing their debut self-titled album in 2007 with the platinum single “Check Yes Juliet”, reached over 250,000 sales. 6 studio recorded albums later and they are currently on their 10 year tour around America and UK. Strange Love starts with the track “Love Again”. It’s very upbeat and a song you’d want to hear at a party of festival. It’s catchy vocals mean you’ll most definitely get this song stuck in your head. The second track “Howl At The Moon” is one of my favourites on the album. It has a different sound than the rest of the album and is one that will catch your ear when the drums and guitar kick in during the chorus. “Completely” is a great song to but on an upbeat love song playlist. The lyrics are dominated by love but much like “Love again” the heartening feel of the song is something you can’t miss. “Heaven So Close” is another one of my favourites from this album. I find myself having this song stuck in my head quite a bit. With a continuous positive feel, this love song is perfect for you and your friends to jam out to. “Xo” is another different style of song on the album. I have very mixed opinions on this one. I love the dynamic of the chorus but I’m not too keen on the style of backing music. However, the help of vocals from Elena Coats, helps the album have a completely different twist. Her vocals strengthen the song a lot. The next song “From Here To Mars” brings back the We The Kings sound back into the album. The lead guitar in the bridge makes the song feel very energetic, I think this is the song that describes the album for me. “All The Way” follows on “From Here To Mars” and allows the album to feel flat out lively and perky. The 8th song on the album “Jenny’s Song” slows down the album as we reach the end but it’s a song you’ll catch a tear to. The dedicated song pours out emotion and makes your heart throb. Similarly the song “She” follow an alike meaning. “She” is much louder and really makes a statement from “Jenny’s song” The last track on the album “Runaway” I think is my favourite from the album. It slows right down, to end the album. The love song rips out every piece of emotion and the addition of an orchestra behind really adds to the emotion running behind this song. It’s a powerful song to end this album.
