The 11-song project includes a feature from GRAMMY-nominated frequent Anderson .Paak collaborators, Free Nationals. It hears KUN at the helm, co-writing and co-producing all of the music.

I want to make music that carries thatfeeling forward. I want to make music that can resonate across generations and cultures and reach all of us.” To celebrate the news of the album, KUN has also announced his spring North American/UK/European tour including stops in LA, San Francisco, Dallas, Chicago, NYC, DC,London and Paris this April.
