KAE WEST ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM PLANNED FOR RELEASE 2023
Their highly-anticipated first album in two decades is set to be released this year, and fans are eagerly waiting to hear the new sound that Kae West has in store for them.
The album, which is yet to be named, features a mix of upbeat and reflective collection of tracks, with Korine’s enigmatic, powerful voice and cynically reflective lyrics taking center stage and is a bold move in transitioning from soft rock to a more heavy sound, blending elements of spherical hard rock and metal.
The band, female fronted and formerly known as Kae has undergone a significant change in their music style, moving away from their experimental and soft rock roots to embrace a more hard-hitting, spherical sound, to leave fans on the edge of their seats. This new direction is sure to excite long-time fans, as well as attract a new generation of rock music lovers.
The genesis of the album can be traced back to the front woman’s desire to push the boundaries of their music and explore new sounds and influences. A longtime collaboration between co-writers Alex Elzer and Korine Varekamp, led to the incorporation of paradoxes and contradictions into the songs, giving them a unique and dynamic edge.
In addition to the new sound, Kae West has also welcomed a few new band members to the fold, each bringing their own diverse music background and experience to the album. Joining the band are drummer Laurens Bakker and guitarist Jonathan Merrelaar, both of whom have a wealth of music experience and have collaborated with the band on the new album.
Bakker, a seasoned drummer known for his powerful and dynamic playing, known from top-notch metal band Picture, is the driving force behind many of the tracks, adding an extra layer of energy to the music, while Merrelaar, a skilled musician with powerful and mesmerizing guitar and bass work, provides a solid foundation for the songs.
The album was also produced by John Merrelaar, an acclaimed producer who has worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry. His expertise and vision helped shape the sound of “The Album” and his influence can be heard throughout the album. Different ideas were brought to the table by various cooperating musicians who also worked on the album, collaborated to bring those ideas to fruition.
The band has been keeping a tight lid on the details of their new album but fans can expect to hear more about it in the coming months. In the meantime, fans can follow the band on social media for updates and teasers about what is to come.
Kae West will be hitting the road in support of the new album. This will be the first time that fans will have the chance to see Kae West live, and the band promises to bring their new sound and energy to the stage in a truly epic fashion. This is a must-see event for fans of spherical hard rock and metal, as well as those who have followed the band’s journey over the past 20 years.
