Kings of Leon have been around for a good couple of years now and have only recently hit the big rockstar status (in North America at least). With the success of last years ‘Only By The Night’, the arena rockers have made a name for themselves and it seems like everybody wants something to do with KOL.
There have been a number of artists who have remixed or covered Kings Of Leon songs and they have now announced that a remix album is in the works. Names such as Justin Timberlake, Pharrell of N.E.R.D., Mark Ronson, Kenna, Linkin Park and Lykke Li have all been mentioned to want in on the remixing of classic rock songs.
Personally I’m not too trilled with this news, why redo something that’s already good? I can be totally wrong with this but could this be a move to attract more of an audience/following in the US? In Europe Kings are insanely popular and really don’t need this release to boost their popularity.
What do you think, will Kings Of Leon be rewarded with this or will they suffer?

I think this idea was coming. Everyone is doing something with everyone else’s song nowadays. I just hope people value KOL for their original music and don’t take them for remixes they themselves didn’t create. The remixing is kind of pointless to me.
