S. Carey has announced his fourth solo album Break Me Open, arriving April 22 on Jagjaguwar. Alongside the announcement, he's also shared a Rudy Rubio-directed video for the title track.
"Break Me Open" features horns arrangements by CJ Camerieri and bass and drums courtesy of Zach Hanson. In a statement about the new album, Carey said:
Change is good. Fucking hard, but good. For many, to say the last two years have been difficult would be an understatement. Stress and uncertainty about life in general, family, friends, kids, even Mother Earth has grown exponentially. There is a heaviness to human consciousness right now, a darkness at the surface.
Break Me Open is about love—past, present, and future. It's about fatherhood—the overwhelming feeling of deep love for my kids and the melancholy of watching them grow up right before my eyes. It's about accepting my faults and wrongdoings, exposing myself, and trying to know myself better than I did the day before. But above the darkness, it's a message of hope, honesty, and growth. It's a call to be vulnerable: Break Me Open.
Carey's last solo record was 2018's Hundred Acres. Check out Break Me Open's tracklist and watch the video for the title track below.
