The New Citizen Kane
Artist Mythology.
Following his celebrated return to the music scene earlier this year with the Endless Summer Serenade EP, Kane has continued to to build up his return with a string of bold releases; a haunting cover of Mariah Carey’s Dreamlover, the hypnotic club friendly single Gotta Secret (Sometime Underground), a surprisingly refreshing Christmas single, Lonely Christmas Lights and finally the Could Have Been EP, showcasing a more raw, introspective side to the artist, the career defining EP features lush alt-pop sounds, electronic beats, and hints of 80s new wave, creating an evocative, cinematic soundscape that underscores his signature storytelling.
With roots in Dublin’s theatre scene, Kane’s journey has spanned continents and artistic disciplines—from music production studies at Pulse Recording College to modelling and acting in New York and Milan. As a songwriter at Fuorifase Records in Milan, he honed his craft behind the scenes before featuring as vocalist on the international club hit & Beatport global no.1, Don't Feel No Shame with DJ Aron & The Sample Guys in 2007. The New Citizen Kane identity would eventually emerge following his move to London in 2008. His debut album, 2014's It’s Not Science... It’s a Feeling, and follow up EP, Invention, garnered comparisons to legends like George Michael, The Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode.
After a near-decade long hiatus, Endless Summer proved that Kane’s music could once again captivate listeners, drawing in a diverse audience that resonates with his honest songwriting and diverse genre-blending production style. Now, as we kick off 2025, his sophomore album, The Tales Of Morpheus, is ready to dive further into Kane's personal mythology, dropping on January 31.
Kane shares, “This album is like a mini autobiography. It’s a vivid tapestry woven from threads of vulnerability, love, loss and the healing power of music, exploring the very nuanced landscapes of human connection. A balance of raw emotion, relatable experiences & playful charm, I'll be taking listeners on a journey through my world of dreams and introspection”.
