Kings of Leon are back with new music for 2021.
The Followill brothers launched into the new year by sharing snippets of four new songs on social media, marking the Tennessee quartet’s first new music in about nine months.
KOL began teasing the forthcoming music on Friday (Jan. 1) by sharing samples of the upbeat “Must Catch the Bandit” and the moody “Feel the Way You Do,” noting that the new tunes would be released on Thursday (Jan. 7). The teasers were accompanied by short black-and-white clips of the group members.
The rollout continued throughout the weekend with snippets of the catchy “Dancing in Your Head” and the thoughtful “Spin It Like We Can.” The band did not announce release dates for those tracks or provide additional details about a possible forthcoming album.
Kings of Leon’s most recent song arrived in late March amid the lockdown with the aptly titled “Going Nowhere.” The accompanying black-and-white video featured frontman Caleb Followill sitting with a guitar, belting the ballad in an empty room.
The band’s last studio album, Walls, arrived in 2016 and earned the act its first No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The set, its seventh overall, was led by the chart-topping single “Waste a Moment,” which topped Billboard’s Adult Alternative Songs airplay chart.
