About

FKJ returns with Tyber —  a project that captures a period of personal and creative transformation following the release of his acclaimed album V I N C E N T. Written and recorded across multiple continents, the album reflects years spent navigating movement, solitude, collaboration and renewal.

The result is FKJ at his most expansive and uninhibited. Across Tyber, groove-driven compositions sit alongside jazz-led instrumentals, sample-heavy explorations and more direct songwriting moments, moving seamlessly through genres without ever losing cohesion. The album feels both deeply personal and globally informed, spotlighting an artist documenting his evolution in real time. It captures musical snapshots across London, Los Angeles, Paris, Brazil, and beyond to create music that combines intricacy and intimacy seamlessly.

Anchored by themes of emotional equilibrium and self-care, Tyber balances vulnerable storytelling with an unmistakable, groove-laden optimism. The album seamlessly weaves together spontaneous, late-night collaborations with artists like Labrinth, Bas, and Baby Rose, alongside deeply personal solo compositions. Ultimately, Tyber is a vibrant celebration of human connection and resilience, offering listeners an immersive, cinematic invitation into FKJ’s newly restored world.  — (via Miniwax)

French multi-hyphenate FKJ has shared plans for new album ‘Tyber’. The incoming project follows the success of his acclaimed album ‘V I N C E N T’, with sessions taking FKJ across the globe. Working continuously, the French musician has built a tribe of collaborators, each adding their own flavour. The material moves from moments of solitude and reflection through to joyous renewal, with sessions taking place in London, Los Angeles, Paris, Brazil and Mexico.

Out later this year, the album is trailed by groove-infused new roller ‘Soulmates’. The tropical tones are laced with light, with FKJ commenting: ‘’Soulmates’ is about embracing your solitude. For me, solitude really works, and I’m taking time with myself. But I really care about my soulmates, the people in my life who are important to me. It’s all about finding the balance.” — (via CLASH)

More than just a new record, Tyber captures a period of profound personal growth for FKJ. Created in the years following V I N C E N T, the album traces a journey through change, uncertainty and renewal, resulting in some of his most open and adventurous work to date. Funk grooves sit alongside jazz instrumentals, psychedelic textures and intimate songwriting, while collaborations with Lucy Park, Baby Rose, Bas, Eryn Allen Kane and Labrinth add fresh perspectives to the project. As FKJ gears up for a major headline tour across Europe, the US and Canada, Tyber feels less like a destination and more like a snapshot of an artist evolving in real time. “All these events and places in the journey were essential,” he says. “Like a quest to become a more refined and evolved version of myself.” The result is a record that feels both deeply personal and effortlessly expansive — the sound of an artist reconnecting with himself and inviting listeners along for the ride. — (via House of Solo)
