Los Angeles, CA — Los Angeles-based artist, Albert Kass–also known as the Young Old Man–elevates his listeners with his newest single, “Darling,” off his upcoming album, Young Old Man. Influenced by the irresistible desire to transcend superficiality and materialism, Kass cocoons his listeners in sincerity. Melodic guitar strums and mellifluous vocals make the euphonious single a lamentation about the woes of the human condition. The song is now available to stream and download on digital platforms worldwide.
“Darling” reflects the reckoning between expectations versus reality. “‘Darling’ is about wanting something, or someone, you don’t, or cannot have. And yet, once gotten, there’s the realization that it was an empty endeavor–only satisfying your ego for the briefest of moments,” explains Kass.
Written by Kass, and produced by Grammy-nominated producer Billy Mohler, the track also features the work of Miles Jay (Upright Bass), and Dylan Ryan (Percussion). The insight provided throughout Kass’s lyrics creates a world of shared perspectives while submerging the listener into the dualities of emotion.
After working in two different careers over the last two decades, Albert Kass has crafted an intimate, invigorating sound with his debut album, Young Old Man. The project illuminates the feelings of youth and adulthood, as well as happiness and sorrow. Kass provides a 10-song soliloquy of life unfiltered and unedited that administers a sense of raw affection and truth. Kass explains he wanted to create a project that would allow the listener to experience those feelings vividly as the album progressed. “Stripped down is what my life sounds like now. Like ‘Shallow Sea,’ putting my soul, inside-out, on display,” says Kass, when describing his inspiration. “Darling” is simply one piece of the thought-provoking puzzle.
With “Darling,” Albert Kass establishes his goal of authenticity and begins his journey of artistry on a sincere path. The earnest single is now available to stream and download on digital platforms worldwide.
