Announces North American Arena Tour With Imagine Dragons
11 May 2017 (Toronto, ON) – Following the release of her latest album
Every Where Is Some Where and her sold out North America tour this spring, alt-pop/hip-hop artist
K.Flay is back with her official new video for her current single “
High Enough”, along with a brand new arena tour announcement for the fall.
The video for “High Enough” premiered worldwide today via
Billboard Magazine. Directed
by Lorraine Nicolson, she explains “the “High Enough” video is an
unconventional retelling of a universal theme: music’s ability to unite
us despite our differences. A great song can cut across cultural
boundaries better than language can, and I think K.Flay’s new track has
that kind of power. For our team, it was important the video retained a
sense of playfulness, which was made possible by the nuanced
performances of dancers Savannah Harrison and Scott Hislop as
choreographed by Andrew Winghart.”

Talking about the
single, K.Flay declares “there are so many songs out there about getting
fucked up,” she says of 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?’ 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.”
Since making her debut in 2010, K.Flay has spun fearlessly detailed
lyrics that show the bright and dark of the world in her head. For her
second full-length
Every Where Is Some Where, the L.A.-based
singer-songwriter delved deeper into introspection while adding an
element of political commentary. The result is her most deliberate and
dynamic work yet, a thrillingly vital album that channels the frenzy and
anxieties of today’s world but ultimately exhilarates. According to
K.Flay, “each song on the record is about creating a different kind of
meaning out of a different kind of something,” she explains. “Even the
dark places are places. You’re still somewhere.”
Serving as the follow up to her 2016 EP
Crush Me—whose lead single “Blood in the Cut” hit the top 5 on Modern Rock radio—
Every Where Is Some Where amps
up its defiant spirit with a densely textured yet gritty sound. Watch

K.Flay is the first signing
to Interscope imprint Night Street Records, founded by her friend and
collaborator, Imagine Dragons’ front man Dan Reynolds.
Every Where Is Some Where features
production from some of pop music’s heaviest hitters, including Mike
Elizondo (Fiona Apple, Regina Spektor, Skylar Grey, Twenty One Pilots)
and Tommy English (BØRNS, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, Ladyhawke),
amping up the album’s defiant spirit with a densely textured yet gritty
sound. “After
Life as a Dog I was listening to so much
late-’90s/early-’00s rock,” says K.Flay, referring to her 2014
full-length debut. “I was absorbing the energy of people like Karen O,
Shirley Manson, and Emily Haines and feeling totally inspired by it, so
there’s lots more live guitar, bass, and drums on this record.” The new
record also deftly infuses that same raw intensity she’s revealed in
touring with such artists as Passion Pit, Icona Pop, Awolnation,
and Theophilus London.
K.Flay will be joining Imagine Dragons as support for an incredible
31-date stretch across North America, including five Canadian dates,
