While his band takes a much-needed break, Killers frontman Brandon Flowers is striking out on his own, paying tribute to his hometown of Las Vegas with debut solo album Flamingo.
Known for his arena-sized vocals, Flowers doesn’t dial things back here, working with a trio of top-tier producers (Stuart Price, Daniel Lanois, and Brendan O’Brien) to keep things epic, layered, and moving. The singer’s much harped-on love of Springsteen also plays a major role, in his approach to both songwriting and storytelling.
