Rising alt-pop/hip-hop artist K.Flay has released her brand new single, ‘High Enough’, taken from her highly-anticipated second album Every Where Is Some Where- out April 7th via Night Street / Interscope Records.

On the single K.Flay explores the power of lucid self-acceptance and delivers one of the soon-to-be-released album’s most blatantly upbeat tracks. Matching her seamless flow with sing-song melody, ‘High Enough’ fuses breezy rhythm and bubbly guitar lines into a hopeful meditation on keeping clear-headed.

Talking about the single, K.Flay (real name Kristine Flaherty) declares “there are so many songs out there about getting fucked up,” she says of the song’s inspiration. “I think a part of me was asking the question: ‘What if I’m already high enough? What if I don’t need anything but what I’ve got?’ There are many moments in my life—whether it’s because of a person or a place—that I don’t want to feel altered or high or buzzed. I just want to feel exactly what I’m feeling”.

For her second full-length Every Where Is Some Where, the L.A.-based singer-songwriter delved deeper into introspection while adding an element of political commentary. The result is her most deliberate and dynamic work yet, a thrillingly vital album that channels the frenzy and anxieties of today’s world but ultimately exhilarates. According to Flaherty, “each song on the record is about creating a different kind of meaning out of a different kind of something,” she explains. “Even the dark places are places. You’re still somewhere.”

Every Where Is Some Where features production from some of pop music’s heaviest hitters, including Mike Elizondo (Regina Spektor & Twenty One Pilots) and Tommy English (Ladyhawke), amping up the album’s defiant spirit with a densely textured yet gritty sound. “After Life As A Dog, I was listening to so much late-’90s/early-’00s rock,” says K.Flay, referring to her 2014 full-length debut. “I was absorbing the energy of people like Karen O, Shirley Manson, and Emily Haines and feeling totally inspired by it, so there’s lots more live guitar, bass, and drums on this record.”

K.Flay will release her second full-length album, Every Where Is Some Where, on April 7th on Night Street / Interscope Records (an imprint helmed by Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds). A brand-new song from the album, ‘Black Wave’ is out now, and you can watch the lyric video below.

‘Black Wave’ is “about facing something immense and menacing and choosing not to cower, but to rise up" K.Flay says in a statement that also sheds light on the album’s title. “In writing this album, I thought a lot about the places that shape us, and how, in turn, we shape those places in our minds as human beings living on earth right now. We find ourselves in a very particular situation where the planet is getting warmer, the internet is getting bigger, and the stakes are as grave as ever.”

“The President of the United States Of America is a television celebrity who openly degrades those unlike him (non-white, non-male, non-straight, non-wealthy, non-citizen), and whose chief strategist has spent much of his career promoting white nationalism in a country meant to foster diversity and progress through tolerance.”

“A president who intends to limit our freedoms, foment hatred & silence dissent and yet every place, every where, is just some place, some where. It’s all arbitrary and fucked up and sometimes lucky. I think you can understand the fact of your own smallness in this world while still celebrating the very particular singularity of who you are and where you happen to stand”

Having toured the UK in 2015 with PVRIS, K.Flay returned last summer to play at Reading & Leeds Festivals, Bestival, and also her own sold-out headline show in London at the Hoxton Bar & Kitchen. She has previously toured with artists as varied as Passion Pit, Awolnation, Snoop Dogg and Dashboard Confessional. She is currently on a three week U.S. headlining tour in support of her recent EP Crush Me, which features the Top 5 Modern Rock Radio track ‘Blood In The Cut’. If that EP is anything to go by, Every Where Is Some Where could be something very special
