Being an artist is a relentless and constant journey, not only as a musician, but as a human being, because the art musicians create is a direct reflection of their personalities and everything going on in their lives. We've kept an eye on Klaverson ever since his highly acclaimed debut, Reflections, back in 2023, and it feels very rewarding to witness the growth of Jack both creatively and as a songwriter.
Today, we celebrate the release of his second EP, Above Ground, released via Beyond Records. The EP features tracks like "Rising", "There For Me", and "Higher Now". If you like artists like Maribou State, Bonobo, and James Blake, you're in for a special treat.
"This EP is about those breakthrough moments - where you find strength to rise again or help someone else do the same," Klaverson elaborates. "I wanted the music to feel like a new horizon: hopeful, real, and deeply human."
I'm spotlighting one of the new songs we get to hear for the very first time today - an emotional confession called "Better Man". The EP opener kicks off with intention - an evocative blend of strength and vulnerability that sets the tone for what's to come in Above Ground. Klaverson crafts a space where soaring synths and resolute vocals converge, channeling inner shifts and quiet revelations. It’s a stirring introduction that feels like the first step on a deeply personal journey. A reason to love music today.
