“I wanted to make an album that had an undercurrent of super South African country music,” Kiernan “AKA” Forbes told Apple Music in one of his last interviews before his sudden, tragic death on 10 February 2023. “I grew up listening to a lot of Jackson Browne and Cat Stevens, and all these weird guys that my dad played me, and it was kind of cathartic for me after my fiancée passed away.
