The Killers Share Cinematic Video For New Single 'Boy'

The Killers recently shared a cinematic video for their new single "Boy."

"Boy" is the rock band's first track since their 2021 album Pressure Machine. The video features the band in a remote forest landscape.

The band shared the new track earlier this month after performing it live at Madrid's Mad Cool Festival headline set in July.

"This was the first song written after we had to cancel the Imploding The Mirage tour due to the pandemic," The Killers songwriter Brandon Flowers said in a press release. "I had recently moved back to Utah and started to make trips to Nephi, where I grew up. I found that the place I had wanted to get away from so desperately at 16 was now a place that I couldn't stop returning to."

"I have a son approaching the age I was at that time in my life. With 'boy', I want to reach out and tell myself - and my sons - to not overthink it. And to look for the 'white arrows' in their lives. For me now, white arrows are my wife, children, my songs and the stage," he added.

Beyoncé Teams With The Isley Brothers On 'Make Me Say It Again, Girl'

Beyoncé has teamed up with The Isley Brothers for a re-work of the band's 1975 The Heat Is On classic "Make Me Say It Again Girl, Pts. 1 & 2."

The new version, "Make Me Say It Again, Girl," is set to appear on the Isley Brothers' upcoming album, which is scheduled to arrive later this year.

The track, which arrived on Friday (August 12), is the first ever collaboration between Ronald Isley and Beyoncé and marks Ronald's first release of the year.

Isley revealed in an interview with Billboard that he "met and talked to Beyoncé when she was just getting started with Destiny's Child," and that "working with Beyoncé was one of the first things [he] thought about" when he began crafting his new album.

Isley's wife, Kandy, added, "Tina Knowles-Lawson [Beyoncé's mother] was very influential in getting this record started and getting it to the point where we are now. She has a love for the Isley Brothers and her daughter grew up listening to this type of music. All we can say is that God's hands was on this whole project."
