"Kingdom" led the way for Hourglass, the second solo album from Depeche Mode singer Dave Gahan, going out on Mute as the lead single on 8 October 2007. Gahan wrote it with Christian Eigner and Andrew Phillpott, and the single edit is a trimmed-down thing: it drops part of the first verse, the instrumental passage ahead of the second chorus and nearly all of the closing bridge.
American alternative radio got there first, warming to it through September 2007 with WEQX in Albany and KNRK in Portland leading the charge, and by mid-October 29 modern rock stations had it on. Britain was cooler: it stalled at 44, below every CD single from his solo debut, Paper Monsters.
