Brandon Flowers of The Killers has confirmed that he plans to release a new solo album in 2015. The frontman released his first solo record, 'Flamingo', in 2010 and is currently working with Sky Ferreira and Kylie Minogue producer Ariel Rechtshaid on its follow-up.
Speaking to NME, Flowers said: "The record's not done yet, but I'm excited about it... I'm liking it." He also admits that the album is less influenced by his hometown of Las Vegas than 'Flamingo' was. "People are going to interpret it how they will, but there's only a little bit of Vegas in there."
Meanwhile, on the subject of Rechtshaid, the frontman admits that their different ways of working have led to the pair butting heads. "He's taking me out of my comfort zone. Normally I make demos and they're pretty similar to how the song ends up. but he'll take a song and be like, 'I hear this'. It's incredible – his palette and his range, what he's able to say. At first we were butting our heads together, but now we're hitting it off."
The Killers released greatest hits album 'Direct Hits' in 2013. However, fans can rest assured that Flowers has no plans to end things with the band, saying: "I wanna keep being in this band. I don't think we'll get too morbid about it, I think we wanna keep going."
Earlier this month The Killers headlined V Festival in Stafford and Chelmsford – with the band covering Iggy Azalea's 'Fancy' while drummer Ronnie Vannucci performed an interpretive dance.

Flowers has released a video teaser called “KEYS“, as first appetizer taken from his highly-anticipated second solo album, scheduled to be released sometime this year via Island, Mercury, Universal and Vertigo Records.
The album was entirely produced by hitmaker and ‘co-captain’ Ariel Rechtshaid, and is “definitely going to be different“. The LP will also feature drumming by Kenny Aronoff and horns by Ron Francis Blake.
“KEYS” was released by surprise on Flowers official website on 20 February 2015. Stay tunned, the new single is coming…

Flamingo came and went here so I'm kinda surprised he's getting a second major label release.

Wow, I am just so excited! I don't know why it took him all this time to start the process, but I'm glad it's coming nearer and nearer. *Here is where I insert the Fray image saying "Shut up and take my money"*

The anticipation is real. I'm thinking this will certainly be one of my favorite albums of the year.
"Can't Deny My Love" coming March 23, 2015! My B'day. :)

Another new song "Lonely Town"It's really good. I could see this album ending up as my favorite of 2015, I've loved everything so far from it. ETA: Eek! I don't know why YT embedding doesn't work. Here's the link - www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcZ-0o53md8 |

I'm seeing The Killers in June and Brandon in Aug. Then, I can die. I saw them during the Day & Age tour with M83 as the opening act... INCREDIBLE! I wanted to see them during the Battle Born tour but they weren't within a reasonable distance for me. Same for Brandon right now since the only Texas date is f@cking El Paso. WHAT?! |

Loving "Lonely Town". Loved "Can't Deny My Love", but didn't really care for "Still Want You". Excited for this album though.

Someone can explain to me the reasoning behind already 3 videos? Are they real singles, or just promo songs that happen to have a video. Cause if they want the songs to be successful, releasing them all 3 so close to each other might not be the best idea.
I like Lonely Town, but barely. Sounds way too retro. And the video was completely pointless.
Still, I can't wait for the album to be released. I read that deluxe or limited editions will contain 2 more songs, so there's also that to look forward :)

This will be my 7th time seeing The Killers. Seen em headline Coachella in 09, a few times in Boston (all of their albums), Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun, and now Firefly in June. There was also Brandon at the HoB in Boston. Then again, they were my 3rd fave band of all time for years. |

I saw them once during the Hot Fuss Tour, twice during their Sam's Town Tour (both solo and at ACL), and Day & Age Tour. I might make the long ass drive to El Paso if I can somehow make a weekend of it. |
