Earlier today, The 1975 took to twitter show their fans the brand new video for a song they have recently re-released, 'Sex.' Since being a fan of The 1975's music, this song has always stood out to me from the 4 EPs they have released on Dirty Hit in the run up to their album release. With it's sleezy lyrics and energetic riffs, it was hard not to stand still the first time I heard it in a tiny Mancunian venue while the boys supported Little Comets under the pseudonym 'Bigsleep.' However, I feel that the gritty charm this record once had has been lost in this new auto-tuned version. I am yet to understand why The 1975 continue to do this to their records, like the new version of 'The City' they re-released earlier this year. Why change something that is already incredible? I just hope tracks like 'Settle Down' and 'Girls' don't turn out as overproduced.
Despite their obession with fixing unbroken goods, The 1975 have definitely took it up a notch with this new video and it finally seems like they are evolving as a band that a worthy of big things. I feel that this new video really depicts the meaning of the song a lot better than the original did.
