The Killers' Brandon Flowers Goes '80s on New Solo Single

FUSE TV - The Killers' Brandon Flowers Goes '80s on New Solo Single

Last summer, Brandon Flowers detailed how Vampire Weekend/Haim producer Ariel Rechtshaid was "taking [him] out of [his] comfort zone" for his sophomore solo record. We now get to hear the first taste of the boundary pushing via the Killers singer's new single.

With a huge '80s overtone, "Can't Deny My Love" opens with booming drum machines and ominous synths (think Toto's "Africa") while a disco-flavor bassline is subtly, awesomely blended into the mix. The thunderous chorus feels like it could have been plucked from any synth-rock radio act, with its choir and wonky guitars. It's a throwback for sure, but it sounds fresh among recent nostalgia singles like Carly Rae Jepsen's "I Really Like You" and Kendrick Lamar's "King Kunta."
