K Flay

K Flay released her debut album, ‘Life As A Dog’, in 2014 – a record she self-released after a short time spent signed to Sony’s RCA, a deal seemingly ended by a difference of opinion over her tendency to be a rapper on one song and then a rock singer on the next. The album’s reception eventually left her vindicated, managing to focus her lack of focus.

Now back in the major label system as the first signing to the new Interscope imprint of Imagine Dragons vocalist Dan Reynolds – Night Street – she’s set to finally get the recognition she deserves. Her second album, ‘Every Where Is Some Where’, is due out on 7 Apr.

Following on from previous singles ‘Blood In The Cut’ and ‘Black Wave’, she’s back again with new track ‘High Enough’, a tightly wound play on pop tropes. “There are so many songs out there about getting fucked up”, she says on 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?'” she continues. “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”.
