  "summary": "Andrew W.K. has released a new jazz album called Temptation to Exist. The album features cinematic arrangements and meditative jazz, a departure from his signature hard-partying aesthetic, according to Consequence. This is Andrew W.K.'s second foray into jazz, following his 2009 solo piano release 55 Cadillac.\n\nThe album was surprise-released on a fan-run platform called AWKSHARE, and is now available to stream on YouTube Music, as reported by Stereogum. It is not currently available on most other digital streaming platforms.\n\nAndrew W.K. has been quiet on the musical front for the past half-decade, but has been active in his personal life, marrying actress Kat Dennings in 2023. The new album was announced on what appears to be a fan-run Instagram account.",
