Kacey Johansing shares new single, “Not the Same”
Los Angeles singer-songwriter Kacey Johansing has shared “Not the Same,” as the second single off her forthcoming album, Year Away.
Earlier this year, Kacey Johansing returning with new music for the first time in three years, in the form of the single, "Daffodils". Today she returns with "Not the Same", which is accompanied by a video she directed with her partner Tim Ramsey.
“Sometimes old friends can hold you to old versions of yourself and not realise how much you’ve evolved and grown as a person," Johansing explains. "It’s also about people's tendency towards taking what someone else is experiencing and making it about themselves. We can’t always relate and sometimes the best we can do is listen and witness a friend and allow them to be seen.
Year Away traverses uncharted emotional landscapes brought upon by intense loss and isolation Johansing experienced in early 2020. A longtime touring member of Hand Habits and Fruit Bats, and a crucial collaborator in the flourishing Los Angeles folk scene, Johansing turned inward as her phone went silent. “I felt like a metamorphosis happened during that time. There was a lot of personal growth and healing” she recalls.
Year Away follows her 2020 album No Better Time.
Year Away arrives on 13 October via Night Bloom Records –– the label Kacey Johansing runs alongside Alex Bleeker of Real Estate.
