Kaiser Chiefs' Easy Eighth Album
2024 studio album by Kaiser Chiefs
Kaiser Chiefs' Easy Eighth Album is the eighth studio album by English indie rock band Kaiser Chiefs, released on 1 March 2024. Produced by Amir Amor, it was preceded by the singles "How 2 Dance", "Jealousy", "Feeling Alright" (co-written with Nile Rodgers), "Burning in Flames" and "Beautiful Girl". It received positive reviews from critics and debuted in the top 10 of the UK Albums Chart.
Background
Along with the release of the "Feeling Alright" single, frontman Ricky Wilson said: On the first day with Nile Rodgers, he said 'what have you got?' We searched through some jams we had and this was a song that stood out to him. The band loved playing it round and round, and it must be fun to play but we never really knew where it would find a home. Nile turned out to be the best estate agent and found it a home almost immediately. He also brought in Amir, who turned out to be our housemate for the entire record. A good place to start!
Critical reception
Kaiser Chiefs' Easy Eighth Album received a score of 65 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on six critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception. AllMusic's Neil Z. Yeung stated that the band "finally figure out how to balance the vibes of their anthemic, pub-friendly early-era fare with their pop-polished late-2010s material", writing that "every track is custom-designed to inspire a good time, whether that's the soundtrack to a bit of love (or lust) or a full-on dance party".

Why this record matters
