  "account": "Brandon Flowers, frontman of the band Killers, could easily retire and live a comfortable life from the royalties of his hit songs \"Mr. Brightside\" and \"When You Were Young.\" However, he is not done yet. In a recent Times feature, he expressed uncertainty about how much longer he wants to continue his musical career, its significance, and the reasons behind his continued passion. Whenever he concludes a tour, he inevitably falls ill, leading him to contemplate Mick Jagger and ponder what keeps him performing on stage. Flowers believes that the powerful moments in concerts are what keeps him going.\n\nCurrently, he is preparing his new solo album, Thrasher, which is set to be released soon. To give fans a taste of what to expect, he has shared the tracks \"Paradise\" and \"Plans\" with the public. Today, he unveils his latest single, \"Tiger's Blood.\" Although the title might suggest a country-inspired tune, \"Tiger's Blood\" is actually a high-energy rocker with a noticeable Springsteen influence. The singer delivers the lyrics with an intense, \"I'm On Fire\" cadence, reminiscent of his previous works with Killers.\n\nYou can listen to \"Tiger's Blood\" below. This week in music, the most significant stories and the least important memes are making headlines.",
