Kings of Leon’s New Album Unveiled: First single “Mustang”!

More Information

Along with the album announcement, the band also released the first single of the record, “Mustang” along with a music video. “There’s a mustaaaang in the city” – KON know how to write a catchy chorus. It’s short, to the point and quite the raunchy rocker.

In addition to the cover, the tracklist of Kings of Leon’s new album was also revealed:

  1. Ballerina Radio
  2. Rainbow Ball
  3. Nowhere To Run
  4. Mustang
  5. Actual Daydream
  6. Split Screen
  7. Don’t Stop The Bleeding
  8. Nothing To Do
  9. Television
  10. Hesitation Generation
  11. Ease Me On
  12. Seen

If the new single is any indication of the vibe of the new record, then it’s going to be a much rockier affair than 2021’s rather introverted When You See Yourself.

More Information

It’s good to hear Kings of Leon playing a rougher sound again. The mellow tones of their last record shows a softer side that at times was a bit too tame, in my opinion. And anthems like Use Somebody or Sex on Fire showed how catchy they can write.

    Not sure what this has to do with music equipment? Bands bring out new albums all the time – why make an article about Kings of Leon? I would leave this to other websites.
