Artist/producer and multi-instrumentalist French Kiwi Juice (FKJ) shares today his sprawling new single “Way Out”. Serving as another taste of his second studio album V I N C E N T, out June 10 via Mom + Pop, the track contains sound elements from Jazz and Pop that FKJ is well known for and follows the recent release of “Greener” - a collaboration featuring legendary guitarist Carlos Santana that amassed over 1M views on YouTube in under two weeks. Also arriving today is the official music video, directed by Kasuy. The accompanying visual grips onto tension in black & white while crescendoing into full color right on its musical cue. Watch HERE Speaking on the new single and music video, FKJ recalls: “Way Out” is an invitation to leave my busy adult mind and yours too who are listening. I put these footsteps and door sounds on the intro because I was imagining this scene of an exit, running away from a too serious and anxious state of mind. The escape would end and I would land in a childish world where the kid inside of me that doesn’t care and just plays would re-emerge. A few days later, I found this abandoned attraction park next to where I live. A playful world left behind and where time did its thing. A whole set that was matching this concept. So we passed through the fences with my homie and shot this video. We later shot the intro at home and matched the foleys that were put on the recording.”
FKJ’s second album V I N C E N T signals a new dawn, not just as a go-to producer and remixer for artists like PinkPantheress and Moses Sumney but as an artist in his own right, continuously selling out headline tours across the globe with his acclaimed ‘one-man-band’ live shows, and having over a billion streams across all platforms for his music. With this release teasing the album to come, FKJ continues to position himself as a consummate artist poised for a strong year.
