FKJ (French Kiwi Juice) releases the third new single, “A Moment of Mystery” featuring Toro y Moi, from his upcoming album V I N C E N T, out June 10. The highlight track is another exciting glimpse into the world of FKJ’s second studio album, building on the ethereal elements synonymous with his sound and visuals. “A Moment of Mystery” provides an ample canvas for Toro y Moi and FKJ’s tremendous capabilities, providing a lush bed of spacey synths that make room for free-flowing piano and layered vocals. The track follows recent releases “Way Out” and “Greener” -the latter a collaboration featuring legendary guitarist Carlos Santana, which amassed over 1M views on YouTube in under two weeks.
Speaking on the collaboration, FKJ says:
"I met with Chaz and Tony who play keys in Toro Y Moi for the first time at this session. The energy was real smooth and we got in the zone quickly. We couldn’t stop playing. Even if sometimes we’d try to take a break to write and structure something we would end up getting distracted by all these toys in the studio and start jamming again for another hour or two. At the end of the session we had all these demos. I took them back home and played with them. The next time I came to San Francisco, Chaz and I met again and chose a couple of them to finish, including “A Moment of Mystery” which made it to this album."
Toro Y Moi further adds:
“vincent, tony and I jammed out this track at different fur in SF when vincent flew in to work on his record. I ended up writing about the moments of desire and the tension we feel when we're away from loved ones. I want the listener to feel as if things are open ended with the person on the other side.”
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 music platforms. With this release teasing the album to come, FKJ continues to position himself as a consummate artist poised for a strong year.
