Kings Of Leon enthüllen neues Album „Can We Please Have Fun“ + Unser Soundtrack fürs Wochenende

Hi and welcome to Lila's review!

Sometimes we long for lightness in life, for a moment of calm to stop the world and ask ourselves: "Are we still having fun?" Kings Of Leon answer this question for themselves on their latest album.

Kings Of Leon sind ein Phänomen, ein eigener Sound. Benannt nach dem Großvater der drei Brüder und geprägt durch die Arbeit ihres Vaters als Wanderprediger, spiegelt sich eine gewisse Harmonie in ihrer Musik wider, die sie seit ihrem ersten Album „Youth and Young Manhood“ beibehalten haben. Ihre Mischung aus Southern Rock und Alternative Rock ist unbeschwert und dynamisch, und hat uns bereits Ohrwürmer wie „Sex On Fire“ beschert, die weltweit mitgesungen werden. Auch in ihrem neuen Album „Can We Please Have Fun“ zeigen sie diese Eigenschaften, die der internationalen Band ihre Ehrlichkeit und Bodenständigkeit verleihen.

The question "Are we still having fun?" runs like a red thread through the album and its individual songs. In the track "Nowhere to run" in particular, this question is mentioned in interplay with the title of the song. Listening to the song makes you feel like you're facing an unstoppable apocalypse, trying to live your last day on earth as if you've finally found the answer to this question. It's a combination of living in the moment and making firm plans. Where am I going and where do I want to go? Kings Of Leon lead us through life's search for meaning in the individual tracks, which sometimes make us pause and sometimes let us move on. Everyone has to take the first step themselves, and "Can We Please Have Fun" is an impetus to recognize what is important in life.

The band delivers a melodic sound journey through life that tells a coherent story from song to song. Beginnings and endings always fit together, creating a harmonious leitmotif of rock and light indie. Again and again, the momentum is taken, moments are created where you hold your breath for a moment, and then again places where you just want to sing along loudly and celebrate.

"Can We Please Have Fun" is a clear recommendation, and today's release makes for an ideal start to the weekend. If you want to see Kings Of Leon live this summer, I can only suggest that you visit this year's Deichbrand Festival on July 19.

A European tour for the album is not yet known, but will certainly follow next year. Until then, we'll keep you up to date!
