★全英音乐奖肯定杀手乐团型男主唱睽违五年第二张个人大碟

★收录全美热门摇滚单曲榜首波主打"Can't Deny My Love"

★Q杂志、Mojo杂志、NME、Digital Spy、The Guardian、The Sun…全球乐评高分推荐

从The Killers杀手乐团的4张录音室专辑到2010年的首张个人专辑「Flamingo」，Brandon Flowers连创5张勇夺英国金榜冠军，创下全球百万销售佳绩！2015年的夏季，这位荣获全英音乐奖与Q杂志偶像奖的流行摇滚巨星，在睽违五年之后再度推出了一张融合了英国新浪潮、流行电子乐、前卫摇滚等类型音乐元素的全新大碟【The Desired Effect】，专辑预购随即抢登iTunes英国专辑榜季军。

2014年的夏季，当The Killers乐团忙于各大音乐祭演出，乐团主唱Brandon Flowers同步展开第二张个人专辑【The Desired Effect】的录製。Brandon邀请曾製作Vampire Weekend全美流行专辑榜冠军专辑【Modern Vampires Of The City】、Haim英国金榜冠军专辑【Days Are Gone】的葛莱美奖製作人Ariel Rechtshaid合作，企图衝撞出新的音乐火花！这次的创作灵感除了与家乡拉斯维加斯有关，大多都是Brandon与製作人在不断的音乐交流、论战的结晶，更被Brandon形容是在悔改与领悟过程中，跳出自己所熟悉的创作空间所做的新嚐试。

Brandon Flowers表示：「其实我希望这是一张The Killers的作品，因为专辑实在是太完美，每一首歌都有发行成主打单曲的资格。」这次的专辑乐风深受Peter Gabriel、Don Henley、Sting的启发，游走于前卫摇滚及流行摇滚乐之间。包括快速闯进全美热门摇滚歌曲榜的首支单曲"Can't Deny My Love"，音乐录影带更找来曾演出影集「噬血真爱」的演员Evan Rachel Wood参与演出，吸引近90万人次点阅；取样伦敦电子合成乐组合Bronski Beat的英国金榜第3名畅销曲"Smalltown Boy"，再加上流行电子乐团Pet Shop Boys主唱Neil Tennant留言口白助阵的"I Can Change"；触及天气变化、核灾、飓风、水患问题的灵魂乐/电子乐创作曲"Still Want You"；瀰漫80年代新浪漫电子乐氛围的情歌"Lonely Town"…等十首全新力作。

期待不论是喜欢The Killers还是Brandon Flowers的乐迷，都能够在这张专辑裡找到属于自己的感动。

The Killers’ Brandon Flowers has announced his new solo album. Due out on May 18th, The Desired Effect serves as his second to date following 2010’s Flamingo. As previously reported, it was produced by Ariel Rechtshaid, known for his work with Vampire Weekend, HAIM, and Charli XCX.

Flowers shared the news via a handwritten message on his official website, which reads, “Ariel and I have been collaborating in the studio, working twogether [sic] in the spirit of conversation, contention, and at long last, sweet contrition. No one has yet seen or heard the change. But soon, we all will.”

In a past interview, Flowers noted that his sophomore record, unlike Flamingo, will only be partially inspired by his hometown of Las Vegas. “People are going to interpret it how they will, but there’s only a little bit of Vegas in there,” he said. Instead, he claimed Rechtshaid was an “incredible” influence during the recording process and one that’s pushed him out of his comfort zone.
