Brandon Flowers is planning to press on with a second solo album when he returns home soon after a fruitful reemergence for The Killers ends with the release of ‘Direct Hits‘ next month.
“I’m excited about going home,” Flowers tells NME.” I’m looking forward to having a normal year. But I’m going to write. I’m going to be filing those diamonds, it’s my job. I’m just going to put my heart and soul into my solo record.”
Despite the, ahem, runaway success of The Killers’ 2012 album ‘Battle Born‘, Flowers first opened up about his hopes for a new solo record when in discussion with NME not long before the Las Vegas band’s gig at Wembley Stadium in June, revealing:
“I’m definitely gonna do another solo record at some point. ‘Flamingo’ wasn’t just me dipping my toes in the water. I really loved it. It was successful, and that helps, but I love those songs and I miss singing them. It wasn’t something I had totally planned on, but I’m always writing songs, and I think — or I hope — that I’m always gonna have that. So what else am I supposed to do with myself?”
Flowers’ debut effort, ‘Flamingo‘, arrived in the September of 2010.
