5 Reasons You Should Listen To Pembroke Tenneson's New Single “Sex Appeal”

Looking for something with a bit of attitude? Pembroke Tenneson’s new single, “Sex Appeal”, has plenty of it. The Californian singer and guitarist brings a playful rock ’n’ roll spirit to a song that knows how to have fun without losing sight of the music. Here are 5 reasons it deserves your attention.

1. The title tells you what you’re getting

“Sex Appeal” does not waste time hiding its intentions. Tenneson dives straight into a world of confidence, flirtation and outrageous self-belief, giving the song an entertaining personality from the start.

2. The lyrics have plenty of cheek

Tenneson clearly enjoys writing with a sense of humour. The song keeps finding new ways for its central figure to boast about himself, with the claims becoming increasingly bold. It gives the track plenty of character without taking itself too seriously.

3. It has that classic rock attitude

Tenneson has cited the swaggering rock of the early 1970s as an influence on the track, and you can hear why that period appealed to him. “Sex Appeal” embraces the big attitude and theatrical side of rock while adding its own comic touch.

4. It is built around a hook

The repeated “sex appeal” refrain gives the song an immediate centre. It is the kind of chorus that is easy to pick up, while the recurring tambourine line adds another memorable moment.

5. It is the start of something bigger

“Sex Appeal” is the first release from a collection of 14 original songs Tenneson has been developing. He wrote and produced the single himself, making this a great reintroduction to his songwriting voice ahead of what's to come.

So, if you enjoy rock with personality, humour and a healthy dose of confidence, “Sex Appeal” is worth adding to the playlist. Tenneson has clearly enjoyed making it, and that enjoyment comes through in the finished track. Available everywehere now via Now Listen.
