Brandon Flowers has spoken about his debut solo album Flamingo, to Spin Magazine. Amongst other tidbits it seems he has recorded a song called Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas, has enlisted producer Danny Lanois, and for the true fans, a singer born in the same hospital as Ronnie Vannucci...
The Killers frontman ... gave his first interview about the fall release, dishing on his decision to go solo and revealing one of his collaborators: Rilo Kiley singer Jenny Lewis.
"Jenny's helped me out on a couple of songs, and we also got to duet on a song called 'Hard Enough,' which turned out great," Flowers told NME. "She's always popped into my mind whenever I think about getting a female vocalist involved because she's a fellow child of Las Vegas, too. A lot of people don't realize that, but she was actually born there, in the same hospital as [Killers drummer] Ronnie Vannucci Jr, only a few weeks apart!"
He added the tracks were writted with The Killers in mind, but ...
"To be honest, I personally would prefer it if this was a Killers record," he said. "I certainly never sat around dreaming of going out on my own, but singing songs and writing songs, it's kind of what I do, you know? And I just don't want to stop right now."
But the Killers certainly aren't done for good. In fact, Flowers sees Flamingo "as something that will only make the Killers stronger." "I feel like I'm getting something out of my system with this album, but I want the next Killers album to be a wonderful collaboration between four guys who are ready to make the best record that they possibly can."Check it out here.
