The Killers have returned with “Bright Lights,” their first new release of the year via Island Records, and it’s nothing short of a triumphant anthem. True to their signature style, the track delivers a powerful melody that’s bound to become a staple in their live shows, with a chorus that begs for arena-sized sing-alongs. “Bright Lights” feels like a celebratory nod to the band’s roots, perfectly timed as they gear up for their 20th-anniversary Hot Fuss residency in Las Vegas. The energy is palpable, and with all four original members—Brandon Flowers, Dave Keuning, Mark Stoermer, and Ronnie Vannucci Jr.—back in action, there’s a sense of unity and nostalgia that fans will undoubtedly embrace. The accompanying music video, directed by Micah Bickham (see below), teases the elaborate stage for the upcoming residency, adding another layer of excitement for what’s to come. In many ways, “Bright Lights” serves as both a reflection on their journey and a statement that The Killers are as vibrant and essential as ever.
