"City of Angels" was written by
Jared Leto, the lead singer and bassist of the rock band
Thirty Seconds To Mars.
In the song's lyric video, which takes place in Los Angeles, California, Jared Leto is seen singing the words, in a dynamic and moving performance, where he showcases his incredible range. It is certainly one of the best tracks on the album, and it deserves to be higher on the charts.
The lyric video has been well-received by fans, thus generating over 1.3 million views, in less than two months.
The Verdict
The song "City of Angels" is proof that Jared Leto is one of the finest vocalists and songwriters in the modern rock genre of music. Jared ranks in my Top 3 favorites, along with
Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge and Chris Cornell from Soundgarden. I am looking forward to their full-length video for this single.
