Get ready, fans! Kings of Leon are back in full force with exciting news for their loyal followers. The Tennessee quartet has officially announced their long-awaited ninth studio album, “Can We Please Have Fun,” set to drop on May 10 via Capitol Records. This highly anticipated album, recorded at Nashville’s Dark Horse studio, promises to be a thrilling addition to their discography. Produced by Kid Harpoon and the band themselves, it’s sure to showcase their signature sound while pushing musical boundaries.
But that’s not all—accompanying this announcement is the release of their electrifying new single, “Mustang.” With its infectious rhythm and captivating lyrics, this track gives us a taste of what’s to come from the upcoming album. Directed by Brook Linder and produced by RadicalMedia, the music video for “Mustang” adds visual depth to the band’s dynamic sound.
In addition to their album release, Kings of Leon are gearing up for an exhilarating summer of live performances. They’ve secured a headline slot at London’s esteemed BST Hyde Park festival on June 30, where they’ll be sharing the stage with a stellar lineup of artists. And for their North American fans, fear not—Kings of Leon will be embarking on a tour starting August 14 in Austin, Texas. It’s bound to be an unforgettable experience for concert-goers across the continent.
Drummer Nathan Followill reflects on the album, stating, “It’s like we allowed ourselves to be musically vulnerable. I love it when a rock band is not embarrassed to admit that every song doesn’t have to be on 11.” This sentiment sets the tone for what promises to be a diverse and emotionally resonant record.
With their infectious energy and undeniable talent, Kings of Leon are poised to make a triumphant return to the spotlight. So mark your calendars, grab your tickets, and get ready to join the party with Kings of Leon this summer!
