It was never a goal to be a multi-instrumentalist. That kind of mastery has always impressed and inspired me. You’re most renowned for being a multi-instrumentalist. It’s important because this album is about childhood. We all played with bubbles when we were kids. That’s what the artwork symbolises.Īlso, bubbles represent youth and childhood. It’s a feeling I can’t get anywhere else. I enjoy just gathering with the music in the space I’m in. Now, I’ve way more toys to play with but I’m still playing alone. It’s a lonely journey because I love going there alone. Music’s always been a safe space for me – my bubble. It’s from a memory I had when I started composing music, around age 13. What’s the significance of bubbles/droplets to the project? My fascination with it begins at the artwork. It’s new but it’s done some good things for me, emotionally. Here, he gets into how music can radiate outward in spellbinding ways – if we shut out the noise and allow it to.Ĭongrats on the album. This time, his vision unfolds meditatively, melting house, funk, soul, blues and a sepia-illumined, pastel-hued beatscape, into a superlatively serene sound bath as richly therapeutic as it is endlessly explorable. Like Prince and Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, FKJ harnesses his multi-instrumental veneer to be a conduit for virtuosity. The music is certainly both those things, but when you can feel a potent incandescence, a palpable resplendence that emanates its force, a higher power over and above the sonic information received by your eardrums, you must acknowledge that the chill and vibes have been amply transcended. The name commonly assigned to this sensation is ‘chill’ and its effects are usually thought to be ‘vibey’. I feel it all the time: Throughout FKJ’s recent new album V I N C E N T, a calming breeze blows.
