Panic! at the Disco Channels Frank Sinatra in 'Death of a Bachelor' Video

Brendon Urie on New Album: 'Should I Just Leak It?'

While the subdued but swingin' horns on the track bring to mind frequent Sinatra arranger Nelson Riddle, Urie adds a stuttering beat to keep the song from being a purely throwback affair. Similarly, clipped vocal loops serve as backup voices, instead of one continuous track.

But when Urie's voice hits those big notes with Sinatra-styled gusto, there's no denying he's drawing inspiration from the late legend -- and, for someone who came up in the pop-punk scene, doing a surprisingly adept job at it.

"Death Of A Bachelor -- it’s cool 'cause in the past I was writing most of everything, but this time it was actually all me and I got to record every instrument on this album, except for the horns, which was a huge deal for me," Urie told Billboard. "I did drums, background vocals and the background vocals I was playing different characters, I was doing operatic Queen stuff for songs like 'Victorious' and 'Emperor’s New Clothes.' That was just a lot of fun. And again, Sinatra creeps back in there, so there are a couple of songs I wrote trying to do like a Nelson Riddle arrangement."
