"Sex", a brand new song from
MÖTLEY CRÜE, is available for free download for 24 hours only at
Motley.com.
Written when the band was together during their residency in Las Vegas last February,
"Sex" is the first studio track from the
CRÜE since their June 2008 release of
"Saints Of Los Angeles". The song was recorded at
MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer
Tommy Lee's studio called
The Atrium in Calabasas, California.
Speaking to
VH1 Radio Network's
Dave Basner in March,
MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist and main songwriter
Nikki Sixx stated about the band's new track, "It sounds very much like it's off of the first record [1981's
'Too Fast For Love']. And that was definitely on purpose. I've been writing very simple riffs for the last year and focusing on how these riffs would work for
Vince [
Neil, vocals], basically, and took it in the studio with
Tommy and
Mick [
Mars, guitar] and the thing just came alive."
In an interview with
AOL's
Noisecreep,
Tommy stated about
"Sex", "I think
Nikki is partially right. It's got a retro
CRÜE kind of vibe to it — a simplistic riff. But I also think the song has a modern sound to it. There's some cool analog synths in it and a beat that is really funky and modern. So I guess you can say that it has a retro yet modern sound."
He added, "Overall, I think that
'Sex' sounds like 2012 and that makes me really happy. It turned out killer! Not that I'm not into some retro-sounding stuff, but it is 2012 kids — let's keep it moving. At the end of the day, it's a great summertime song that's going to have everybody screaming along to it on this upcoming tour."
