 Jonah Kagen will release his debut album, Sunflowers And Leather, on September 5th via Arista Records. The album announcement included a new fan track “You Again” with a live performance video shot in Montana. Watch it HERE

“You Again” is a frustrated battle cry cursing the nagging ghosts of past love: the ones you can’t stop thinking of and the ones you are constantly trying to run away from. Jonah said, “It’s the most honest song I’ve ever written. After a relationship I had ended, I spent a whole year by myself – just me and my dog. Every time I tried to open up to someone new, I felt that same sinking feeling. This song is about not being able to shake someone, even after they’re gone.” 

The album was written, recorded, and produced by Jonah himself while traveling across the American South & West in a self-made makeshift studio built into a well-worn Airstream trailer. It took him from his family’s home in South Carolina to Montana with stops in Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Texas, and his home base in Nashville. To accompany the album, Jonah joined forces with acclaimed visual creative David O’Donohue (Noah Kahan, Lainey Wilson, James Bay) for a soon to be released 16mm Sunflowers And Leather Documentary that captures the heart of his Airstream journey and the inspiration behind each song.
