Nashville, TN (September 30, 2026) – Multi-platinum-selling rock band Kings of Leon has released their new track,“Cold Blue Dawn,” from their forthcoming 10th studio album, O My Beloved, arriving November 6 via Love Tap Records, distributed by Virgin Music. The release is accompanied by a first-of-its-kind lyric video created in partnership with The Weather Channel, the consumer brand of The Weather Company. Built entirely from the Earth itself, the visual utilizes satellite imagery from NASA’s historic Landsat program to spell out every word of the song using the natural contours of rivers, coastlines, farmland, and mountain ranges. Watch the video HERE. Stream the song HERE.

The collaboration grew out of an organic mutual admiration between Kings of Leon and The Weather Channel after the company created a viral clip of weather formations set to the band’s song “Pyro.” The band embraced the clip, reposting it to their own channels, and the exchange ultimately sparked the idea to bring the two worlds together for the “Cold Blue Dawn” lyric video.

By using NASA’s Landsat typography, the video offers a stunning macro-lens view of the globe before executing a deliberate narrative shift. Midway through, the perspective transitions from sweeping space-bound views to intimate, archival footage of the band out in the elements, bringing the vastness of the natural world down to a human scale.

This intentional transition highlights the profound role weather plays in shaping our daily lives and core memories. Beyond the headline-grabbing storms, weather is core to our most cherished moments—the clear blue skies, the warmth of an afternoon sun, and the shared outdoor experiences that bring people together.

“My family was already die-hard Weather Channel followers,” said lead singer Caleb Followill. “So we saw what they did with our song immediately and thought it was beautiful. We learned they were making music a larger part of what they do and we reached out immediately to try and do something together. They have been super cool to work with, and we hope this unlikely partnership keeps going because it makes a lot of sense to us.”

“Weather isn’t the backdrop to our lives, it’s part of the story. It shapes the moments we remember, the places we love and the experiences that connect us, much like music,” said Rohit Agarwal, CEO of The Weather Company. He continued, “This collaboration with Kings of Leon brings that idea to life in a completely new way, using science and creativity to remind us just how extraordinary it is to experience the world around us.”

The project seamlessly merges scientific history, artistic expression, and a celebration of our connection to nature.

“Cold Blue Dawn” is the latest glimpse into Kings of Leon’s forthcoming album, O My Beloved. The album is available to pre-order, pre-add and pre-save HERE. With O My Beloved, Kings of Leon deliver their most intimate and unguarded record to date, a collection of tracks that reflect on the people, experiences and journey that brought them to where they are today.
