MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee has dropped the third single from his upcoming solo album, “Andro”. “Demon Bitches” is the name of the track which is also a collaboration with artists Brooke Candy and Moon Bounce.
It’s a NSFW tune that we have grown to expect from Tommy Lee and his solo excursions with Tommy and Brooke touching on themes like sex and bad relationships. (Ya don’t say! Tommy Lee ‘bangin’ out yet another song about sex? We’ve never heard that before! Is there a ‘Method’ to this ‘Mayhem’?))
Anyways, Candy is a singer/rapper/stylist and the daughter of Hustler magazine CFO Tom Candy. Yes you read that right. She takes a no-holds-barred approach in expressing herself, no better illustrated than in this collaboration with Tommy. Highly sexualized lyrics have been a calling card for Brooke, whose in-your-face, lightning-quick rap is front and center on “Demon Bitches”, complementing the theme of “Andro”.
The lyric video for the track is a largely female affair — directed by Melissa Ladybug, the video simulates a horror film credit sequence. The intro to the lyric section is the end of a horror film taken from a 2018 short called “Night Terrorizer”, written by and starring Pandie Suicide. As edgy as the song itself, the video packs quite a punch.
Also joining in on “Demon Bitches” is Moon Bounce, the mutant-pop alias of producer, songwriter, and vocalist Corey Regensburg. Taking cues from dance music, R&B, and even the rhythmic lurch of metal, his output combines soulful melodies with jilted percussion, obtuse rhythms, helium-soaked vocals and larger-than-life production with a hyper-controlled synthesis.
“Demon Bitches” comes on the heels of Tommy’s most recent collaboration with Post Malone and Tyla Yaweh. After Yahweh and Malone released their song “Tommy Lee”, Tommy himself joined them by remixing the song. Tommy’s remix made the track into an energetic rocker, with additional help from his friend John 5 on guitars and his son and co-producer Dylan Lee (a musician and producer in his own right). Yahweh, Lee and John 5 performed the remix live on ESPN House’s NBA Pre-Show on August 3 to kick off the 2020 NBA season.
Tommy has been looking forward to fans hearing more from “Andro”, which is due on October 16.
“It’s frustrating to let people hear a song or two at a time,” Lee told Alternative Press. “I’m like, “Fuck. I want to see it come out already! There’s so much badass shit on the record. It’s a killer record. I’m really proud of it.”
The first two singles from the collection, “Knock Me Down” and “Tops” were released in early June to critical acclaim and fan excitement. Lee’s new single is the next step in the theme of “Andro” being the male and female sides of music, equal in power and status. Androgyny is a combination of the essences of male and female genders and the album is the manifestation of the concept.
The longtime MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer has just spent the last two years writing and recording his new album and it is about to challenge virtually everything you thought you knew about him and his musical proclivities.
Other features on the record include a Prince cover from Lukas Rossi (ROCKSTAR SUPERNOVA), Josh Todd (BUCKCHERRY), Mickey Avalon and more.
