US stars Kings Of Leon have premiered the second official single from their upcoming sixth studio album Mechanical Bull. Listen to 'Wait For Me' below.
The new track follows previous release 'Supersoaker', and sees the Followill boys in melancholy mood as they dip the tempo for their latest release. A classic rock love song, led by echoing, distant guitar squeals, the track hints at a more mature sound on the band's new album.

Frontman Caleb Followill recently told Zane Lowe on his Radio One show of his regrets at taking so long to record Mechanical Bull, saying: "It feels like it's a shame that we waited so long to do it. We can go in there and rehearse or goof off."
Bandmate Matthew added, "The pressure was really off of us on this last one. We were our own bosses. There were no bills because we bought the studio ourselves, there was no timeframe when it had to be done by.
"Us being able to take a break, we kind of got to fall back in love with what we loved about it in the first place, which was picking up your instruments and playing and smiling onstage and actually having fun, and not feeling like it's a job."
Kings Of Leon perform an intimate gig at Shepherds Bush Empire on Friday of this week (9 August 2013). Tickets are on sale now. For more information visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
