The follow-up to 2019’s Next to Sun features Sleater-Kinney, Helado Negro, and Sen Morimoto
Kaina has announced her new album It Was a Home with a video for its second single, “Anybody Can Be in Love.” The follow-up to 2019’s Next to Sun is due out March 4 via City Slang and features guest contributions from Sleater-Kinney, Helado Negro, and Sen Morimoto. Check out the video for “Anybody Can Be in Love,” directed by Weird Life Films, below.
Of the new song, Kaina said in a statement:
“Anybody Can Be in Love” is about letting go and accepting love when it comes to any sort of relationship, romantic or platonic. I’ve seen myself and my close friends miss out on a really great moment we’ve wished for or a great relationship because we’re so fixated on getting hurt or being fearful. “Anybody Can Be in Love” is a little reminder to keep it simple and enjoy the moments you’ve been waiting for. Sonically, I wanted the track to sound very psychedelic and dreamy. Almost like love is taking over and you’re just losing yourself in a moment. It was a pleasure working on this with first time collaborator Biako along with Sen Morimoto and longtime bandmate Michael Cantella on bass.
In addition to her new album, Kaina has announced a headlining North American tour, kicking off March 5 in Chicago. Find her schedule, which also includes some stops in Europe, below.
