Ripping, Racy Electro

Slinky, sexy and crackling with electro-tension, 'U.R.A Fever' is the long-awaited new release from The Kills, their first new offering since 2005 and it's well worth the wait. Handclaps punctuate the predatory growls of the bassline as both VV (Alison) and Hotel (Jamie) add their combined sultry vocal efforts to the melody. The intermingling vocal lines add an extra fizz to the tune, keeping the listener constantly on their toes. This brooding 2 minute snippet offers us reveals little about the rest of the band's new album, due out in March, but a couple more tracks like this and it's sure to be a success.

If you want to dance, seduce or just have fun, then this track must make its way onto your stereo at some point during 2008.
