KAWALA have shared another new album taster, ‘Hypnotized’

  • Stephen Ackroyd
  • February 22, 2022

KAWALA have debuted a brand new single, ‘Hypnotized’.

Given a first spin as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record, the band explain: “’Hypnotized’ is all about finding yourself in that situation you promised yourself you wouldn’t be in again, and realising it’s not what you actually want for the 100th time. It’s about traversing the world as if you haven’t got a choice.”

The track is taken from debut album ‘Better With You’, set to arrive on 4th March. It follows up on previous singles ‘Searching’, ‘Ticket To Ride’, ‘Good Like This’ and ‘Jesse C’Mon’.

“We’ve always been a little outsider-y,” says the band’s Jim Higson. “We don’t fit the pop narrative; we don’t quite fit the usual band narrative. We’re really happy to be taking up that space, but I think this is our flag in the sand moment. The album really says: This is us, here we are!”

You can check out ‘Hypnotized’ below.

Kawala are set to hit the road this March for an instore acoustic tour. They’ll follow that up in April with a full headline run.
