K.Flay has announced a UK tour.
The two time Grammy-nominated artist will head to Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Manchester and London between October 18 and 23 on the Solutions Tour, before continuing on across Europe.
Tickets go on sale at 9am on May 3 priced from £15.95 including fees.
K Flay is touring in support of her third album. ‘Solutions’ is due for release on July 12 via Night Street/Interscope Records. The record’s first cut This Baby Don’t Cry was co-written by Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons, and employs repetitive bass and guitar lines as a bed for her chatty informal verses about not giving a shit. The insanely catchy track follows on from Bad Vibes, which arrived earlier this spring.
Of the album, K.Flay stated:
“When I got home from tour, I was in a dark place. Eventually, I made a decision to focus on the things that actually make me happy: walking around my neighborhood, drawing in notebooks with markers, talking to my mom on the phone. I thought, ‘What did I do as a kid to be happy?’
“As a child, you don’t have access to alcohol, drugs, sex, caffeine. I looked back, when I had fun just by making music. I remembered the first time I wrote a song, burned a CD, and played it in my car. It’s the closest thing I’ve ever had to a religious experience. I reconnected with that spirit and stopped taking shit so seriously”
“The title ‘SOLUTIONS’ came to me really early in the process. The solution to almost every problem is usually really simple. For me, it’s so basic: staying connected to the people I love, taking care of myself the way I’d want my friends to take care of themselves, and doing things I know are going to make me happy – not what social media or strangers or society tells me. So many of my past records were about problems. Right now I’m in a place where I’m looking for some light. Balance is important. Life doesn’t have to be chaotic in order to be meaningful.
