Nashville-based singer-songwriter Jess Kerber has revealed her upcoming album, The World Is Dark, But I Want It To Be Funny. The follow-up to her 2020 debut From Way Down Here, the new LP features the lead single "Changing," which the artist describes as "existential, lush." In "Changing," Kerber reflects on the cyclical nature of life and the effort required for even small things.
About her new album, Kerber explains that it was written entirely by her while recording alone in her home studio. She emphasizes the importance of maintaining a singular focus during the recording process, as overthinking can lead to losing the intended message. The album was recorded primarily at her home studio with producer Will Orchard, whose approach involved working in short bursts between household tasks.
The World Is Dark, But I Want It To Be Funny includes tracks like "Familiar Strangers," "Louisiana Song," and "Changing," featuring guest vocals from Emily Hines and Constant Smiles. The album is set to release on November 6 through Felte. Pre-orders are now available on the artist's website.
