The Las Vegas boys have done it again. From their song “Hallelujah” earlier this year, to now “Death Of A Bachelor”, the once kings of scene aren’t slowing down. The single was premiered yesterday on Beats 1 Apple Radio by Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy). Before the track went live, frontman Brendon Urie explained that it was his favorite off of the upcoming Panic! album, and that it is like a mix of Frank Sinatra and Beyoncé.
Talking about the single, here’s what Brendon Urie had to say about it on Facebook:
“Frank Sinatra turns 100 this year. I attach his music to so many memories: Opening presents on Christmas day, my grandparents teaching the rest of the family to swing dance, watching “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” with my siblings (Sinatra makes a cameo in the form of a cartoon sword singing “Witchcraft”). His music has been a major player in the soundtrack of my life. So it’s only right that I return the favor and/or pay it forward.
“I wrote a new album this year and even in the few songs that don’t sound remotely similar to any of his music I still felt his influence in the writing and the need to relate so personally to each song.
“Death Of A Bachelor is very important to me. It expresses the bittersweet (but mostly sweet) end of an era. A look back at a part of my life now deceased. An “It’s A Wonderful Life”-esque look into a possibly different future. But mostly an appreciation for the present.”
