Released on May 10, 2024, "Can We Pleased Have Fun" is the ninth studio album by American rock band Kings Of Leon, it's their first album to be released out of their original label RCA, it is distributed by LoveTap Records and Capitol Records, under the production by Kid Harpoon, the album is spawning four singles so far "Mustang", "Split Screen", "Nothing To Do", & "Nowhere To Run".
Due to the mixed reception of Mechanical Bull, the band wanted to try something different, and also marked an obvious sign of age for the Nashville rockers, so this album marked a minor but huge step up keeping the indie rock production values but aiming, instead, for a synthwave influenced style. Despite dropping Markus Dravs and recruiting yet another Grammy Award-winner Kid Harpoon, Can We Please Have Fun follows the exact same formula as When You See Yourself. “Mustang”, Nothing to Do” and “Hesitation Gen” obviously pay homage to the band's early rock and roll material, but even though the former two were released as singles, they are outliers in what is obviously another synthwave style rethread. “Ballerina Radio”, “Rainbow Ball” and “M Television” could be included anywhere in their previous album. “Nowhere to Run” and “Actual Daydream” are more energetic variations of that same style, and then a couple of rushed acoustic ballads (Don't Stop the Bleeding” and “Ease Me On”) thrown in for good measure. Along with the classic rockers, the shoegaze influenced “Seen” is probably where the band shines the most as well with a very well crafted crescendo and catchy melodies throughout. With that said, there is little memorability this time.
