While some chase bigger labels, louder aesthetics or quicker routes to success, Kamal. goes the other way. With his hushed croon and pensive lyricism that's perfect for soundtracking life's quieter moments, the 23-year-old singer-songwriter has slowly created a world for him and his contemplative music to reflect on heartbreak, anxiety and isolation.⁣ ⁣ "There are so many things that could have been more business savvy for me to do so far in my career," he tells NME, "but I just could not physically live with myself if I took a single decision that didn't feel authentic or natural to me." This pursuit of authenticity has led to his debut album, ‘How The F*** Does Everybody Else Manage?’, where the singer-songwriter wides his scope and interrogates the absurdities of modern life.⁣ ⁣ kamalnw is on The Cover.
