SHARES NEW MINI-DOC
V I N C E N T “IN THE MAKING”
NEW ALBUM V I N C E N T OUT ON
MOM + POP; FEATURING CARLOS SANTANA, LITTLE DRAGON, TORO Y MOI & ((( O )))
In support of his highly-anticipated new album V I N C E N T, out June 10 via Mom + Pop, French artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist FKJ announces his 2022 North American tour dates – see full list below. The tour launches Thursday, October 6th in San Francisco and closes Saturday, November 12th in Mexico City. Alongside the announcement, FKJ also shares today 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.”
