Following the success of his debut album, Kickinit Alone last year Stones Throw Records‘ Kiefer is back with a fresh new single, “What a Day”. The self produced single is the lead track off the A2IM nominee’s forthcoming project, Happysad, to be released on June 8th.
When asked about what fans should except from his upcoming album, Happysad, the musician replied, “[this project is] my emotional journal of the last year. I struggle emotionally a lot, and yet I feel pretty damn good much of the time. This album is focused on both joy and sadness, and how they are always intertwined.”
The track titles are deliberately left open to interpretation; opening on a confident, blissful note, then segueing into a more dynamic mood before entering a deeper, darker and more ethereal place.
“I’ve loved the sense of responsibility that comes with being a jazz musician. The responsibility to study and understand its history, to respect the discipline of an instrument, and to dedicate your career to positively changing the direction of the music,” says Kiefer.
