KINGS Of leon – o my beloved – album review
For their tenth studio album, ‘O My Beloved’, Tennessee rockers Kings of Leon have embraced their country elements and created something unique and memorable.
If you are looking for faster, rockier indie hits then this is not the album you are looking for. Indeed, if you are looking to raise your pulse in any way then look elsewhere. This record is best served chilled with a drink and a comfy seat.
At fifty minutes and thirteen tracks, it is an album that will ask you to invest your time but it’s also one that’s willing to reward you if you do.

Pre-release singles, ‘My Whole World’, ‘Cold Blue Dawn’ and ‘KOYSAR’, pretty much encapsulate what you can expect from the album as a whole both stylistically and thematically. These slow-burning melancholic serenades are honest, down to earth and emotive.
The album bears the quality you’d expect from a band of Kings of Leons’ ilk even if it lacks in any real get up and go. Their ability to connect with the listener hasn’t got up and gone though and these songs are still able to hold your attention.
Given this is their milestone tenth album, ‘O My Beloved’ is not a compendium of the past, it is however a genuine representation of their present and will be beloved by their fans.
