Sia This is Acting Sia Furler has it covered. The ambitious soundtrack to a feature film about a drowning man whose life flashes before his eyes, Night Thoughts sets its protagonists’ regret and despair (voiced in Brett Anderson’s Gary Numanesque yelp) against wiry guitars, flowing arrangements and symphonic bombast courtesy of a string section. But if you overlook this, it’s your loss. As with their 2013 comeback album Bloodsports, the glassy Brit-popsters released their latest album in the mighty wake of a David Bowie disc (in this case, his grand finale Blackstar). Suede Night Thoughts Their timing could not be worse. All in all, it’s the missing link between Fall Out Boy and Frank Sinatra.
#The little girl in the panic at the disco music video zip
Death of a Bachelor is a fast-moving, freewheeling kaleidoscope of vibrant colours, styles and sounds and influences: Along with the expected arena-stomp pop-rock and Freddie Mercury vocals, you get B-52’s samples and Beach Boys shoutouts, thumpy retro-swing zip and brassy horns, post-lounge grooves and jazzy piano ballads with lounge-lizard crooning and plenty more - all decorated with Urie’s cleverly smirking lyrics and unerring ear for a razor-sharp hook. Having slowly but surely divested himself of bandmates over the years, singer Brendon Urie essentially uses the P!ATD fifth album as his first solo disc - and as you might expect from the flamboyantly energetic frontman, it’s a wild coming-out party.
