In the lead up to the release of Brandon Flowers’ new album The Desired Effect, another new track has hit the web, and you can stream ‘I Can Change’ below.
The song features a voicemail from from Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant, of which Flowers previously told Billboard: "I'm a big Pet Shop Boys fan, and Ariel’s [Rechtshaid, producer] a big Pet Shop Boys fan. We just talked about it, and we just had this gap in a verse and we needed to stick something in there. We were talking about it being a speaking part, and the greatest musical 'speaker' is Neil Tennant!”
“His voice is like no other,” he continued. “I texted him if he would -- he didn't even hear the song or the tempo or anything, I just texted him this line. I asked, will you send us a voicemail of yourself saying, 'When you're looking for a change'? And that was it. He sent us a voice memo, and we stuck it onto the track, from the phone. It was done within 20 seconds."
