Brandon Flowers, the frontman of The Killers, released a new solo single titled “Paradise” on July 17, 2026 [1, 3].
The release signals a return to solo work for Flowers, moving him away from the collective sound of his primary band to establish a distinct individual identity. This shift allows him to explore thematic elements and musical styles that may not fit the current direction of The Killers.
The track is available on major streaming platforms, including Spotify, and Apple Music [2]. It serves as the first taste of his forthcoming solo album, which is titled “Thrasher” [2].
Flowers used the release to comment on the song's inspiration and its relationship to existing music. He said the track's conceptual intent in a statement to NME.
“He took 'Another Day In Paradise' from the working man – I’ll be returning it to its rightful owner,” Flowers said [1].
The new project represents a calculated step in his career as he balances the demands of a global stadium act with his personal artistic ambitions. By releasing “Paradise” now, Flowers builds anticipation for the full length of “Thrasher” and sets the tone for his solo era.

The release of 'Paradise' indicates that Flowers is prioritizing a solo trajectory to diversify his musical output. By framing the song as a return of 'Paradise' to the working man, he is positioning the 'Thrasher' album as a project rooted in blue-collar themes and accessibility, distinct from the polished synth-pop often associated with The Killers.
