Kings of Leon Release O My Beloved Featuring an Acoustic Sound

Kings of Leon released their 10th studio album, O My Beloved, on November 6, 2026, via Love Tap Records and Virgin Music, accompanied by the announcement of a 30-date North American tour starting May 8, 2027.

Brothers Record New Album After Family Losses

The 13-track record emerged from emotional turmoil for brothers Caleb, Nathan, and Jared Followill and their cousin Matthew. Following family losses—including the 2021 death of their mother, Betty Ann Murphy—the band initially bottled up their grief to record their 2024 album, Can We Please Have Fun.

An injury forced Caleb Followill off the road, and an acoustic guitar shaped a sound reminiscent of the band’s earliest days in Nashville.

I was sitting there and it went from writing out of gratitude to just opening up and writing about my mom and just feelings and emotions and fears and all these things, It became much more therapeutic than it ever has been.

Caleb Followill, American Songwriter

Kings of Leon handled production entirely by themselves for the first time. The resulting album trades roaring guitars for organic melodies and country-tinged intimacy.

Band Drops Singles Ahead of LP Launch

The band rolled out three tracks showcasing the record’s reflective tone before the album release. The lead single, My Whole World, was written during Caleb Followill’s recovery and inspired by an upcoming family cruise. Another single, Cold Blue Dawn, meditates on parents, distance and the passage of time.

The track “KOYSAR”—an abbreviation for Kick Off Your Shoes and Run—drew directly on childhood memories. Cousin Matthew supplied six-string textures on tracks like “Feel the Love.”

Kings of Leon have announced a 30-date North American tour across the United States and Canada. The itinerary begins May 8, 2027, at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, Virginia, and concludes October 15 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
