FKJ Details New Album ‘Tyber’ and Drops Single ‘Changes Rising’

FKJ has set the album Tyber for release this autumn. Rather than a solo pursuit, the project is billed as a collaborative effort, with confirmed appearances from Lucy Park, Baby Rose, Bas, and others whose names have not yet been disclosed. An international tour has been planned around the record.

The new single, “Changes Rising,” arrives shortly after “Soulmates” and sharpens the focus. It is a lean, jazz-flexible production built around a groove that moves without rushing. Where the musician’s past work occasionally leaned toward expansive instrumental detours, this track stays compact, riding a crisp rhythmic pocket and letting the vocal delivery carry the melody without excess decoration.

It is a smooth, self-contained piece, and its release alongside news of the album suggests a deliberate sequencing. FKJ has long worked at the intersection of live instrumentation and electronic architecture, but “Changes Rising” points toward a tighter version of that synthesis—more structured, less indulgent, but still relaxed in its feel.

The single serves as a subdued but clear statement of intent. If Tyber follows the path laid by these first two tracks, the album will foreground collaboration and concision over solitary exploration. For now, “Changes Rising” sets a template that is difficult to pin down—soulful without being sentimental, controlled without feeling rigid—and it indicates a project that knows precisely what it wants to leave in and what it intends to leave out.
