Flamingo

Flamingo is the debut solo studio album by American singer-songwriter Brandon Flowers, frontman of rock group the Killers, released on September 3, 2010, by Island Records. The album incorporates elements of soft rock and country pop, departing from the dance-rock and new wave influences of the Killers' 2008 studio album Day & Age. Produced by Flowers, Daniel Lanois, Brendan O'Brien, and Stuart Price, Flamingo features musicians such as Rilo Kiley frontwoman Jenny Lewis, fellow Killers members Dave Keuning and Ronnie Vannucci Jr., and guitarist Benji Lysaght. Flamingo was written as a "ode" to Flowers' hometown of Las Vegas, exploring themes of religion, redemption, and his experiences growing in the city. The album was recorded in April 2010 at Battle Born Studios in Winchester, Nevada, and Henson Recording Studios in Hollywood, California. The album's lead single, "Crossfire", was released on June 21, 2010, and was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry. Succeeded by singles "Only the Young" and "Jilted Lovers & Broken Hearts", the album was ranked number thirty on Q's list of the 50 Best Albums of 2010, and debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart.
