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 10th May via Polydor Records. The album’s hard-charging lead single “Mustang” is available now.
“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.”
