SPYAIR - Fire Starter

SPYAIR - Fire Starter

Cover for both CD & CD + DVD

1) Fire Starter
2) JUST LIKE THIS 2015

Fire Starter is SPYAIR's 16th single & it was released on 22nd July .

Released about 4 months since their previous single ROCKIN' OUT , the A-side was picked to be used to promote NTV's drama THE LAST COP .

Prior to its physical CD release , Fire Starter was 1st released digitally last month on 19th June .

A ferocious Rock number packed with energy , the lyrics of Fire Starter float on top of a big-boned wild sound & convey a piercing attitude that prevails even in this world full of conflict . Visually , the single's artwork cover is based on red & compliments the band's attitude .

Fire Starter is another memorable thumping Rock no. but what makes this song stands out from the group's past single offerings is the inclusion of guitarist UZ who contribute in rapping in the song .

This's something that they've never done before & it's actually pretty cool for UZ to rap in the verses of Fire Starter while vocalist IKE sings his heart out .

JUST LIKE THIS 2015 serves as the B-side in the single . This song is a re-recorded/updated version of Just Like This , which was originally found as 1 of 3 B-sides in 2nd single Last Moment .

The group chose to re-record JUST LIKE THIS as it's a song where the band went back to their roots 10 years after their formation & 5 years after their major label debut .

I only started listening to SPYAIR's B-sides from their 6th single My World onwards so I will treat JUST LIKE THIS 2015 as a new song to me .

When I 1st heard JUST LIKE THIS 2015 , it sounds a bit like their 4th single Samurai Heart (Some Like It Hot !!) as for both songs , they kept repeating the song's title name in the background . But song wise , JUST LIKE THIS 2015 contrasts Fire Starter well with the former being a more mid tempo no. unlike the A-side where it's a straight up Rock no. .

Celebrating their 5th year major label anniversary this year , SPYAIR most definitely has come of age with them delivering their 2nd single release of 2015 , Fire Starter .

I'm probably biased but I feel that SPYAIR is 1 of the few groups that they've been putting out consistently good material . Up to now , I have been seldom disappointed with their music . It's a rarity for something like this to happen but if this keeps up , I don't see why they're going anywhere anytime soon .

I can't wait to see what they have up in store after Fire Starter but for now , this's a single well checking out .
