Kings Of Leon – “Mustang”

Kings Of Leon – “Mustang”

King Of Leon have been in the game for a long time; their debut album Youth & Young Manhood recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. It’s only been three years since the Followill brothers released When You See Yourself, their last LP, but it already feels like an eternity. When the band said they would release that album as an NFT, I had to figure out what “NFT” meant. (I still don’t really know, honestly.) Now, KOL have announced plans to follow that one with Can We Please Have Fun, a new album that’s set to come out this spring.

Kings Of Leon have been teasing Can We Please Have Fun, their first album for new label Capitol, for a while. They recorded the album with a new collaborator. Producer Kid Harpoon has recently made huge hits with people like Harry Styles and Miley Cyrus, so he’s an interesting pairing for this band. Lead single “Mustang” still has a giant radio-rock chorus, but it’s got the band getting a little wordier and nervier than usual on the verses.

Along with “Mustang,” Kings Of Leon have also dropped the Can We Please Have Fun tracklist and the dates for their upcoming tour. Check it out below.
