Kings of Leon — Caleb, Nathan and Jared Followill and their cousin Matthew Followill — will release their 10th studio album, “O My Beloved,” on Nov. 6, marking a notable shift toward a more intimate, acoustic-driven sound for the Nashville rock band. The new record follows 2024’s “Can We Please Have Fun,” the band’s ninth studio album.
The 13-track album grew out of an unexpected change in plans after frontman Caleb Followill broke his foot while playing with his children shortly before the group was scheduled to leave for a European tour. During his recovery, Followill returned to guitar and began writing songs centered on family, gratitude and reflection, ultimately prompting the band to abandon several more electric-oriented tracks in favor of the new material.
The album’s first single, “My Whole World,” draws from Followill’s family life and features nostalgic home-video footage in its accompanying video. The acoustic-led track emerged while Followill was looking at a countdown to a family trip and became an emotional reflection on his children, his late mother and the life he has built with his bandmates.
