The track is the latest showcase of their upcoming new album In Ways
As they gear up to the release of their debut LP In Ways in May, Brighton’s Slung continue to establish a fiercely impactful and dynamic modern alternative metal sound that is packed full of distinctive quirks and a devastatingly powerful appeal.
Their latest single ‘Thinking About It’ sees singer Katie Oldham embodying the persona of an alter ego who is flamboyant and confident, embracing their queer sexuality in a way that is brash and upfront while non-threatening. There is a swagger and a confidence to their sound and the grooves and hooks that amplifies this feeling and gives it a really fun and carefree allure, and this makes for a riotous new single that is packed full of fun moments and a compelling, sleazy narrative.
The working title for this song was ‘Tasty Girl’, because every time I tried to improvise on lyrics, they ended up coming out like sleazy pick up lines from an old womanizer. In the end, we decided to just roll with that vibe and tell that story but from the perspective of a female lothario out on the prowl.
