Kings Of Leon have announced that they are already working on the follow-up to 'Because Of The Times', and hope to start recording around Valentine's Day next year. Lead singer Caleb Followill, speaking on Xfm, said: "We try to strike while the iron's hot. And we're writing some really good songs right now".
He also claimed that the band are in shock at how well the most recent release did, and, though it's questionable how life-changing a number one in Iceland can be, "we've not had [that] before".
Their growing popularity is something that he believes has influenced the next record, saying: "Because of the thrill of being number one, I think the songs we're writing now just really have something about them. It's a passion that I think will carry on. This is gonna be like a Wham! Record".
