Slung Unveils ‘Thinking About It’: A Bold New Single by a Female Lothario

Brighton’s own Slung is making waves with their latest single, ‘Thinking About It’, set to be a standout track from their debut album ‘In Ways’, dropping on May 2nd through Fat Dracula. This vibrant piece brings a fresh, character-driven narrative to the table, showcasing the vocal prowess of Katie Oldham.

Originally titled ‘Tasty Girl’, the song has evolved into a vivid storytelling experience as Oldham muses on the excitement of romance and attraction from a unique angle. “Every time I tried to improvise on lyrics, they ended up sounding like sleazy pick-up lines from an old womanizer,” she shares. The team decided to embrace this playful vibe, crafting a story from the perspective of a bold female lothario.

Oldham emphasizes the importance of representing queerness in their music, reflecting her identity and those of her friends. She notes, “I don’t feel the need to draw attention to it specifically… but I still want to create a little space in whatever I do to honour it.” The themes of bisexuality and romantic discovery are woven deeply into the fabric of the song, as listeners will find themselves caught in the thrilling grip of ‘bisexual panic’—wondering if that intriguing woman is thinking what you’re thinking.

‘Thinking About It’ follows their previous singles, ‘Collider’ and ‘Laughter’, each further building anticipation for their debut album. Their sound is a blend of energetic melodies with catchy lyrics that keep you coming back for more.
