Kings Of Leon announced details of their forthcoming LP ‘Can We Please Have Fun’ today (February 22) and have released its lead single ‘Mustang’.
The upcoming LP – which is available for pre-order/pre-save here – will mark the band’s ninth full-length studio album, and comes as the follow-up to 2021’s ‘When You See Yourself’.
Set for release on May 10, the album is set to see the members cutting themselves loose of expectations, experimenting with their sound and, as the title suggests, having some fun. Recorded at Dark Horse Studio, ‘Can We Please Have Fun’ was produced with new collaborator Kid Harpoon, and sees Caleb Followill and co. return to their gritty origins, while all the while pushing their sound into new territory.
“It was the most enjoyable record I’ve ever been a part of,” Caleb said, while bandmate Nathan Followill agreed, adding: “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.”
As shared in a press release, the sound of the forthcoming album sees Kings Of Leon “unified in vision and purpose, freed from stress, and basking in an atmosphere of positivity”, and today they have shared the first taster of the LP in the form of lead single ‘Mustang’.
In other Kings Of Leon news, their last studio album,‘When You See Yourself’, was given a glowing four-star review from NME. “We’ll be seeing the Kings for a long time to come – and if every next album is like this one, that’s a cause for celebration,” it read.
More recently, they were announced as the headliners for the F1 British Grand Prix opening concert back in November, which is scheduled to take place at Silverstone on July 4. They’ll also make an appearance at Lollapalooza Brazil next month.
