FKJ shares blissful 'Ylang Ylang' EP with accompanying video – EDM All Day
In 2017, FKJ burst into the public eye with the Masego-assisted “Tadow,” a jazzy neo-soul track that showcased both artists’ diverse skill sets. French Kiwi Juice, FKJ’s studio album released the same year, proved for many fans that he was more than a flash in the pan. Now, he’s back with his first extended release in two years.
“Ylang Ylang EP” is full of the lush, tranquil production we’ve come to expect from FKJ. The lone credited feature is given to rising Dreamville star Bas, who features on the EP’s lead single “Risk.” The title track arrives alongside an official video, which features FKJ amidst the jungle he recorded in and named the EP after.
“Last year I spent about six months in a very remote tropical place where I setup a studio,” FKJ writes in a recent press release. “There is almost no one there. No electricity. I was making music out of a generator that was running only by night. The most beautiful landscapes, mountains, beaches. It’s one of my favourite places in the world. When I made music there it felt kind of like a dream state.”
