I was a bit skeptical when I heard Brandon Flowers was working on a solo project and wondered if it could be a success. Well wonder no longer, everything I’ve heard so far is great and yes, he can do it all on his own. Flamingo comes out on September 14 but head to SPIN.com * to preview the album. It’s quite fantastic and the opening track “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” should become the unofficial anthem for Las Vegas while the first single off the album “Crossfire” has a great beat, rising chorus and is an awesome track that could easily be a Killers song.
Flamingo has me excited like I was the first time I heard The Killers’ Hot Fuss. I very well may be wrong but this fall could turn out to be Brandon Flowers’ rise to solo stardom fully putting The Killers on the backburner.
*While the spin.com link gives you 40 second previews of the tracks, do some web surfing and you’ll find complete songs.
