Kings of Leon announced O My Beloved on September 10, their 10th studio album and first full-length produced entirely by the band. The record is due November 6 via Love Tap Records with Virgin Music distribution, and the announcement arrived with lead single My Whole World.
Coverage from AP, NME, SPIN and JamBase describes a more personal, stripped-back direction built around family, memory and the band's history. The single also arrived with an official video from the band's own channel, and the band marked the new era with a small Nashville show at The Basement East that night.

Why it matters
A self-produced 10th album is a meaningful creative milestone for one of the most established guitar bands of the past two decades, especially because the group is deliberately changing its writing and production approach.
