Brandon's signature often gets him into trouble at the bank.If you don't know who Brandon Flowers is, allow me to inform you: he is the lead singer/keyboardist for Las Vegas rock group The Killers. "Crossfire" is the lead single off of his upcoming solo debut "Flamingo", and it is a fantastic song.
It's got a lot of things going for it. The instrumental arrangement is nuanced and intelligent. The production, while a little overstated, is just right for the song. The lyrics paint a compelling portrait of a husband/wife (or comparable) relationship, and Flower's voice has never sounded more full and powerful. However, all this is eclipsed by the music video, which features Charlize Theron. Charlize Theron...fighting ninjas.
Here's the only problem: after making a video like this, Flowers' career has nowhere to go but down. He should have saved the concept for later, and instead made a video based on the album's title:
The one in front is a bit camera-shy.
