Single Review
30 Seconds to Mars – Kings And Queens
Release Date – 30th November 2009
Propelling themselves even further towards their well deserved “rock-god” status, 30 Seconds to Mars explode out of their four year hiatus with Kings and Queens, the first single to be released from the eagerly anticipated third album, This Is War.
Kings and Queens is an epic slice of anthemic, stadium rock.
Perfectly composed, catchy choruses are beautifully built up to by the verse’s tight drum rolls and amazingly layered backing vocals, showing the world how talented they are as songwriters and producers.
It is however, the eruption of raw power that is front man Jared Leto’s voice that makes this song the stadium anthem it deserves to be. His stunningly pure vocal talent mixed with his ability to create a coarse, spine tingling growl leaves nothing more to be desired from a rock song, making this, one of the best hard-rock singles of 2009.
We may have had to wait four long years for this release, but the 5 minutes and 47 seconds of Kings and Queens was worth every second
