Video Premiere

Think ‘Flamingo’

July 12, 2010 1 Comment

That, over there to the right, is the cover for Brandon Flowers’ forthcoming Flamingo. The Killers frontman’s solo debut is out in September, and he unveiled the album art this morning, after enlisting some help from his Facebook likers over the last few days.

And this, just below, is the video for the first single, “Crossfire,” in which actress Charlize Theron single-handedly rescues Flowers from some no-goodniks again and again (and again). The clip’s gender flip on the otherwise tired ‘damsel-in-distress’ story is refreshing. And who’s gonna complain about seeing Flowers roughed up, tied up, and a little bit dirty. Not me.

Purchase Brandon Flowers – “Crossfire” via iTunes, Amazon MP3.
