簡介

Billie Eilish也喜愛的英國創作才子 Kamal.
推出首張專輯《how the f* does everybody else manage?》
直面焦慮、孤獨與成長之痛

英國創作歌手Kamal. 正式推出首張專輯 《how the f*** does everybody else manage?》。專輯深入探討悲傷、成癮、孤立、焦慮及存在主義困惑等議題,延續他一貫誠實坦率的創作風格。專輯同時展現其自六歲開始學習的鋼琴演奏實力,以細膩琴聲貫穿全作,進一步豐富作品層次。專輯更邀請英國饒舌巨星 Dave、新生代女聲 Natanya 及英國創作歌手 Keaton Henson 參與合作,為作品增添不同音樂面向。
談及專輯創作理念,Kamal. 表示:「我的人生發生了很多事,我看見許多善良而美好的人無緣無故地承受痛苦。這正是我創作音樂的原因,希望透過音樂撫慰自己,並嘗試理解這一切。我並不是在宣揚任何特定理念,我只是提出問題。」
由知名製作人 Jonny Coffer 擔任執行製作人,作品融合磅礴弦樂、震撼鼓擊、細膩鋼琴編曲及充滿氛圍感的人聲設計等,營造出既私密又充滿電影感的音樂世界。相較於過往偏向Bedroom Pop風格的作品,新專輯以更直接、更坦率的情感表達,呈現其創作上的全新高度。
專輯同步公開最新主打歌 “all my favourite people are sad” MV,以真摯而深刻的視角,描繪當代年輕世代面對心理健康、孤獨感與人際關係的複雜處境。談及歌曲與 MV 概念時,Kamal. 表示:「這首歌談及現代社會中心理疾病在年輕人之間的普遍性,以及當每個人似乎都深受影響時,經營愛情和友情關係有多困難。我們選擇以臥室作為拍攝場景,因為那既是令人感到安全的地方,也可能令人窒息;它同時象徵孤獨與群體連結,而這兩種情感正是整張專輯的重要基調。」〈觀看MV〉
自 2023 年推出首張混音作品《so here you are, drowning》以來,來自倫敦 Harlesden 的 Kamal. 已累積超過 2.5 億次串流播放量,並先後與 Central Cee、Dave 等英國重量級音樂人合作,亦曾擔任 Central Cee 及 Jordan Rakei 演出的暖場嘉賓。此外,他更獲得Billie Eilish 公開讚賞,並於 2021 年入圍 Ivor Novello Awards「Apple Music Rising Star Award」,進一步證明其創作實力備受肯定。

歌詞

Don’t jump to extremes
Don’t fear the irrational things
Don’t blame all the bad days on yourself Don’t argue with time
Don’t wait till the stars re-align
Don’t look for a reason to explain why
It must be this way It has always been this way

Traded true religion for a new balance
Smoking in my room to keep my mood balanced How the hell does everybody else manage?
How the hell does everybody else manage? Label dropped my ego took some real damage Spend the money slow and it will still vanish How the hell does everybody else manage?
How the hell does everybody else manage?
Heart’s gone cold, it’s like it’s buried in the snow
People say they love me
but they’re using me for show
Think I’m s******* cos I’m scared of getting old
Terrified that when I die they’ll all forget my soul
Need my friends to make it, need my family to shh...
Said, I need my friends to make it, need my family to cope
I still love my ex but I’m too scared to let her know
Said, I still love you bad, bae, I just had to let you go
Working through recession
I confess that I was thinking about quitting
There’s no use in reminiscing
Now I’m back up on my business
Need a million, need a trillion, need a wife, I need a mistress
Need the l**** in my system
m******** give me wisdom
My Mamita, rest her soul
She told me God would be my witness
Said that God would cure her sickness

That God was on my team
Then she left this earthen vessel
And it made me want to scream
Wanna pray for her
But I don’t know what prophet I believe in, so I

Traded true religion for a new balance
Smoking in my room to keep my mood balanced How the hell does everybody else manage?
How the hell does everybody else manage? Label dropped, my ego took some real damage Spend the money slow and it will still vanish How the hell does everybody else manage?
How the hell does everybody else manage?
I loved you like I never loved myself
Loved you like I never gave a f*** about my health
Got me like
How the hell does everybody else manage?
How the hell does everybody else manage?
And even when I’m crying out for help
Nobody don’t listen No, they leave me on the shelf
Got me like How the hell does everybody else manage?
How the hell does everybody else manage?
