Kings of Leon have dropped a music video for their new song “Mustang,” the first single from their upcoming album Can We Please Have Fun.
The album was recorded with producer Kid Harpoon, who’s known for collaborating with the likes of pop artists Harry Styles and Miley Cyrus. It’s an interesting choice, and “Mustang” shows the iconic rock band indeed might be taking things in a new direction. The song’s chorus still has the trademark Kings of Leon sound fans know and love, but the verses show a new side to the group that’s been around for over 20 years.
“It’s like we allowed ourselves to be musically vulnerable,” drummer Nathan Followill said.
After Can We Please Have Fun drops on May 10, Kings of Leon will be heading out on a North America tour.
