Australian singer-songwriter Angus Stone has announced his fourth album as Dope Lemon, entitled ‘Kimosabè’. Alongside the announcement, Stone has released the title track which features co-writing credits from actors Will Ferrell and Judd Apatow, due to the song containing samples of dialogue from their 2008 film Step Brothers.
The album will be released on September 1 via BMG, and will follow up on Stone’s 2022 album ‘Rose Pink Cadillac’. The album also features a guest spot from Sloan Peterson on the track ‘Broke Down Casino’.
The cover art for ‘Kimosabè’ is particularly notable, as it is the first to show Stone’s face without a cartoon lemon obscuring it. Speaking about the significance of the cover art, Stone said in a press release: “This record is everything that’s me. In the past, the artwork has been anonymous in a way because I was trying to explore these styles, and having this shield in front of me was beautiful – I could sort of slink around in the shadows and wouldn’t have the public make judgement on the person behind it. This record, I had moments of clarity reflecting on my childhood, and I was able to see where I want to be in the future. So putting myself on the cover just felt right.”
The tracklist for ‘Kimosabè’ is as follows: ‘Kimosabè’, ‘Derby Raceway’, ‘Golden God’, ‘Miami Baby’, ‘Just You & Me’, ‘Blue Moon Fox’, ‘Broke Down Casino’ (featuring Sloan Peterson), ‘Slinging Dimes’, ‘Give Me That Fire’, and ‘Lemon Tree’. Pre-orders for the record are available now.
Fans of Stone’s music can now listen to the title track and watch the accompanying music video, directed by Daniel Mayne. With the release of ‘Kimosabè’ just around the corner, fans of Dope Lemon can be sure to expect an album packed full of Stone’s signature laid-back vibes and unique sound.
