British people love the Kings of Leon

When I arrived in England, I noticed that my friend’s roommates really liked the song “Use Somebody” by the Kings of Leon. They played it on repeat as a warm-up song before going out.
A little later, I bought a Q magazine (which is a British music magazine) due to its cheap price compared to the Canadian one. It turns out that their number one album of the year was listed as the Kings of Leon’s latest album, Only By the Night. I was really surprised to see this considering Under the Radar and myself gave the CD a mediocre review. But apparently, the Brits really like it.
This album has consumed my England experience.

I don’t care what nobody says…

This wonderful remix/cover of “Knocked Up” is from the Kings of Leon‘s Use Somebody single. Like stated in other blogs, it’s hard to determine whether or not this is a cover or a remix. I guess it’s a bit of both. But whatever it is, it’s excellent.
The combination of Lykke Li‘s voice and Caleb Followill’s voice is soothing and perfect. Whoever put this together did a good job putting a Lykke Li twist on it.
The original (which was released in 2007) is also excellent; brings back nostalgic memories.
