Empire (Kasabian song)

"Empire" is a song by the British rock band Kasabian, released as the second single from their second studio album of the same name, Empire, in 2006. The song is characterized by its driving rhythm, heavy guitar riffs, and a slightly psychedelic atmosphere. It became one of Kasabian's signature tracks and helped solidify their reputation as a major force in British rock music.

The lyrics of "Empire" are somewhat abstract and open to interpretation, but they seem to touch upon themes of power, control, and societal structures. The repetitive and anthemic chorus contributes to the song's overall impact and makes it a popular choice for live performances.

The song's music video features the band performing in a stylized, almost theatrical setting, which complements the song's grandiose and slightly unsettling tone. "Empire" achieved significant commercial success, reaching a high position on the UK Singles Chart and contributing to the overall success of the Empire album. It remains a popular track in Kasabian's discography and is frequently performed at their concerts.
