Toledo, OH singer-songwriter Mat Kerekes has shared “Diamonds”, the anthemic second single off his forthcoming solo album, expected later this year. The track is available to stream and download starting today HERE. Kerekes also released a surreal music video for the song, directed by Johnny Chew. Watch it HERE.
Best known as lead vocalist of celebrated alt rock band Citizen, Kerekes presents his softer side and showcases his versatility as a singer-songwriter on his new solo material. Incorporating elements of pop and alternative, his upcoming album boasts massive choruses, dynamic arrangements, and infectious melodies.
Last December, Kerekes announced his signing to producer Will Yip’s Elektra Music Group sub-label Black Cement Records and shared the single “Ruby”, his first new solo music since 2016’s Lune & The Wild Blue Everything. The song is available to stream and download now HERE. Kerekes’ forthcoming album will follow Tigers Jaw’s heralded 2017 album Spin as the label’s second release.
Later this month, Kerekes will hit the road on a North American tour that will kick off on February 28 in Cleveland, OH and wrap on March 29 in Chicago, IL. Jetty Bones and Jacob Sigman will provide support. Tickets for the tour are available now. A complete list of upcoming live dates and ticket information can be found HERE.
