Info for Are You There?

Growing up in a culture rich with deep musical traditions, Kaye was profoundly influenced by the storytelling nature of Georgian music. The potent presence of that influence continues to be present in her work, her harmonic sensibilities, and the intricate nature of her arrangements, melodies, and vocal harmonies. The unique garment and mask the artist wears on this new single’s cover artwork (designed by Ana Dvali, and photographed by Giorgi Kolbaia) has traditional Georgian elements. Kaye’s path led her to Nashville, where she began blending these influences with Americana, folk, and alternative rock. Her acclaimed collaborations with Americana pioneer David Olney, her work on The Waterboys’ recent record Life, Death And Dennis Hopper alongside Bruce Springsteen and Fiona Apple, and her featured appearance on the tribute album Can’t Steal My Fire with Steve Earle and Lucinda Williams have secured her musical reputation with remarkable speed.

Of her forthcoming new album Are You There?, Kaye explains how the album’s songs are personal, but its themes are global. “The album is a reflection of our uncertain, chaotic, and deeply human times, exploring the challenges of navigating this new world disorder we’re living in,” says Kaye. Recorded against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, Georgia’s struggle for freedom, and the tensions of life in the States, the album brings together bold production and musicians from different corners of the world to create what Kaye and Gabriel call, “A musical silk road that echoes the tragedy of yesterday, the fears of tomorrow, and the beauty that makes life meaningful today, leaving us not with answers but with one simple question: ‘Are You There?’”
