<a href="/tags/kamal">Kamal.</a> releases his debut album <em>how the f*** does everybody else manage?</em>, a thirteen-track examination of anxiety, dependence, adulthood and the suspicion that everyone else received an instruction manual that somehow missed his address.
The album features appearances from Dave, Natanya and Keaton Henson while maintaining the close, vulnerable songwriting that has defined Kamal.’s rise from the London underground. Its title is funny because it is painfully recognisable.
Bills, relationships, ambition and ordinary routines frequently appear manageable only when observed from a safe distance. Kamal. strips away that illusion, writing openly about the pressure of functioning while feeling emotionally underwater. The record combines alt-R&B restraint with singer-songwriter intimacy.
