Alternative singer/songwriter/mulit-instrumentalist Jack Kays has just released Disc 1 of his highly anticipated debut album, DEADBEAT! The album, which marks a significant milestone in Kays' career, features a compelling mix of new tracks and previously released singles. Alongside the album release, Kays has also dropped the official visual for the track, "DEADBEAT!," giving fans a glimpse into the creative vision behind his music.
DEADBEAT! - Disc 1 showcases Jack Kays' ability to blend punk, folk, alternative, and hip-hop influences into a unique and introspective sound. The disc includes a collection of four new tracks in addition to his earlier singles: "Caffeine," "Blow It," "GET A JOB!," "DEADBEAT!," and "Feel Like Me." The album reflects Kays' journey of self-discovery and artistic growth, capturing the essence of his evolution as an artist.
Jack Kays elaborates on the significance of DEADBEAT! - Disc 1: “I’ve been releasing music for almost 5 years now. I’ve never released a full-length studio album. Not because I didn’t want to but because I wasn’t able to say what I wanted to say the right way. So I practiced. I wrote song after song after song until they started sounding how I wanted them to sound. Disc one of my album 'DEADBEAT!' Is about the person I used to be. It’s about the comfort I found in being a loser. It’s about the freedom of having no responsibility. It’s about the liberation that comes with having no reason to live. You might say 'Jack, where is the resolve?' And to that I say ‘It’s in Disc 2.’”
In conjunction with the album release, Jack Kays has also shared the official visual for the title track "DEADBEAT!" The music video complements the raw, emotive energy of the song and offers fans a deeper insight into Kays' artistic vision. You can watch the visual below and experience the powerful imagery that accompanies his poignant lyrics.
