Jonah Kagen has released his second album, “Eternity of Anything,” via Arista Records. The project’s focus track, “Ain’t Convinced,” incorporates a sample from Fred Again’s “We (Heavy).” Kagen wrote, produced, recorded, engineered and mixed the album himself, working largely in isolation over a two-to-three-month period.
The singer-songwriter has described the album as a shift from his debut, “Sunflowers and Leather,” which he wrote while traveling the country in an Airstream trailer. For the new record, he said he stayed in one place and drew the songs from within rather than from external observation.
According to the announcement, “Sunflowers and Leather” debuted at No. 3 on Spotify’s Top Albums chart, and Kagen’s single “God Needs the Devil” reached No. 1 at U.S. Alternative radio and was certified Gold. The label says his catalog has surpassed 500 million global streams. Kagen celebrated the new album’s release with a pop-up show in New York and continues his fall headline tour with stops including Denver, Salt Lake City, Atlanta and Nashville in November.
