Some Nights are Fun

It may come as a surprise that the New York band Fun have actually been together making music for quite a number of years, but only with their latest album Some Nights have they truly found their niche and really soared to success. Their first vigorous single, We are Young which featured Janelle Monae achieved many number one spots worldwide including the US and UK and they've followed it up with another stonking tune Some Nights. 

Sadly, it does feature a little autotune towards the end, which seems nothing short of futile given that lead singer Nate Ruess has a distinctive voice capable of reaching high notes. But don't let that put you off, like 'We are Young' it's uniquely special. 

The song is about a man, confused with his identity, he sings "Oh who am I? mmm...mmm..." The video uses an American War Scene to capture the underlying meaning of the song. It is as if he is in a battle with himself, wondering why he left his parents or changed his style. But the song remains uplifting, it begins with a chorus of singing chanting the hook and is soon joined by a military-like drum-beat. 

They are a quirky band, but in a way that appeals to the masses and I fully expect their album to deliver many more a memorable melody and infectious chorus.
