French artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist FKJ releases his highly-anticipated new album V I N C E N T. FKJ also announced his 2022 North American tour dates. The tour launches Thursday, October 6th in San Francisco and closes Saturday, November 12th in Mexico City. Alongside the announcement, FKJ also shares V I N C E N T “In The Making” - a visual body of never-before-seen behind the scenes footage, giving viewers a glimpse inside the Southeastern Asian jungle where the project was birthed.
V I N C E N T is FKJ’s second album and signals a new dawn 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. Singles “Greener” featuring Carlos Santana, “Way Out”, and “A Moment of Mystery” featuring Toro y Moi, have all teased the project, allowing FKJ to lean into the child-like innocence of creating music purely for pleasure and has earned him early support from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, Hypebeast, and more.
V I N C E N T marks FKJ out as a crucial new voice, redefining chillout music with his bursts of late-night jazz sax and piano, coupled with his wood-cabin whispery vocals, recalling Bon Iver’s early work, and those Santana-styled guitar flourishes. It is a marvel and testament to the magic that can happen when you dig deep. “This was a challenging record,” he says. “I’m a perfectionist and it’s hard to shake that off. But once I did, and I let the music take over, I felt totally free.”
