The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has finally spoken about his debut solo album.

The singer who revealed the project last month gave his first interview regarding Flamingo and stated one of his collaborators will be Rilo Kiley's singer Jenny Lewis.

"Jenny's helped me out on a couple of songs, and we also got to duet on a song called 'Hard Enough,' which turned out great," he said. "She's always popped into my mind whenever I think about getting a female vocalist involved because she's a fellow child of Las Vegas, too."

Aside from LewisFlowers revealed he has recruited a few famous producers for his solo effort. Flamingo will feature production work from Stuart Price (The Killers, Madonna), Daniel Lanois (U2, Neil Young) and Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen). The frontman also added that most of the material for his solo release was intended to be used on the next Killersrecord.

"To be honest, I personally would prefer it if this was a Killers record," said Flowers. "I certainly never sat around dreaming of going out on my own, but singing songs and writing songs, it's kind of what I do, you know? And I just don't want to stop right now."

As for The Killers current status, Flowers said he thinks his solo attempt will make the group stronger.

"I feel like I'm getting something out of my system with this album, but I want the next Killers album to be a wonderful collaboration between four guys who are ready to make the best record that they possibly can."
