Earlier this week, Kings of Leon announced their brand new Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles, Florence + the Machine) produced album ‘Can We Please Have Fun’, out 10 May via Polydor Records. The album’s hard-charging lead single “Mustang” is available now, accompanied by a high-flying music video that sets the pace for the rest of the album.
‘Can We Please Have Fun’, as its title suggests, is a document of one of this era’s great rock & roll bands cutting loose, trying new things, and having some fun. Recorded at Dark Horse studio and produced with new collaborator Kid Harpoon, the album sees the band hark back to their gritty origins, while simultaneously finding new gears. It’s the sound of a band unified in vision and purpose, freed from any expectations and the album the band says they’ve always wanted to make.
“It was the most enjoyable record I’ve ever been a part of,” Caleb says. “It’s like we allowed ourselves to be musically vulnerable,” Nathan adds. “I love it when a rock band is not embarrassed to admit that every song doesn’t have to be on 11.”
The group is gearing up for a monumental year and ready to take the world by storm. “When you have a band, there’s a bond like no other, and when you have family, you have a bond like no other,” Caleb says. “We have both of those things. I thought if we put all our energy toward something, who is gonna stop us? Who can stop us except us?”
