Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons — sons of Kiss leaders Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, respectively — have released a new single titled “Temporary Love,” their third under the Stanley Simmons moniker.
“This was the first song we ever wrote together so it’s really what started Stanley Simmons,” the duo said in a social media announcement. “It’s a special one for us and we can’t wait for you to hear it.”
The acoustic, folky “Temporary Love” is a stark departure from the duo’s previous single, the bouncy, high-energy “Dancing While the World Is Ending.” The sparse arrangement puts Stanley and Simmons’ magnetic vocal harmonies front and center (as did their debut single, “Body Down”), landing much closer to Simon & Garfunkel territory than Kiss.
