As a three-time Grammy-nominated group, Hiatus Kaiyote’s unique blend of future soul and intricate musicality has captivated audiences worldwide. In a thrilling development, the band has unveiled their latest single, “Everything’s Beautiful,” marking their first new release in two years and offering a tantalizing glimpse into an upcoming project.
“Everything’s Beautiful” stands as a musical affirmation, a celebration of life’s boundless possibilities and inherent beauty. Mixed by the renowned Mario Caldato Jr., known for his work with the Beastie Boys, Björk, Blur, and Beck, this track is a fusion of artistic mastery and emotional depth. The single showcases the band’s signature elements: intricate guitar licks and a distinctive bass sound that perfectly complement Nai Palm’s lush vocals.
Cultural Impact and Recent Achievements
Hiatus Kaiyote’s journey since their Grammy-nominated album “Mood Valiant” has been remarkable. Following their remix album “Mood Variant,” the band’s influence has extended to other notable artists. The renowned Doja Cat covered their single “Red Room” at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge in London, further popularizing the track on her arena tour, reaching over half a million people.
A Momentous Live Stream Event
In conjunction with the release of “Everything’s Beautiful,” Hiatus Kaiyote announces an upcoming live stream event from The Evelyn in Melbourne. This venue holds historical significance for the band, being one of the first stages where they performed. This event promises to be a full-circle moment, celebrating their journey from local stages to international acclaim.
Nai Palm’s Creative Process
Nai Palm, the soulful lead vocalist of Hiatus Kaiyote, shares her inspiration for “Everything’s Beautiful.” She describes the song as a testament to finding joy in simplicity, contrasting her typically complex and philosophical writing style. The song, birthed from a melody conceived during a nap on her manager’s couch, underscores the importance of seeking beauty, grace, and joy in everyday life. Palm initially envisioned the song as “Berry Street Beautiful,” but it evolved as the band developed it.
