My Take
Brandon Flowers is one of those frontmen I respect for staying the course. He co-founded the Killers in Las Vegas back in 2001 with Dave Keuning, and as lead vocalist, primary songwriter and keyboardist he basically built the band's identity. What I appreciate is that he didn't just coast on the band's success, he stepped out with two solo records, Flamingo in 2010 and The Desired Effect in 2015, and still came back. There's something fitting about a Nevada kid channeling that neon Vegas grandeur into stadium-sized anthems. To me he's proof that a strong, distinct voice can anchor a band for decades.
