On the release, Khamari shares: “Cranes In The Sky was always was one of my favorite songs. I really connected with the meaning and the analogy. Solange said in an interview she wrote it when she found a place of “peace” and “refuge” in Miami from things she was dealing with at that time, but cranes were building condos left and right in the neighborhood, which created an eyesore. It reminded me of the things that cloud my mind in life while trying to learn to be more present.”
Following the release of his debut album A Brief Nirvana which included singles like “Doctor, My Eyes” and “These Four Walls” – Khamari returns to form with his cover of “Cranes in the Sky”, as part of the Spotify Singles series. Solange’s critically acclaimed writing powerfully narrates sorrow and heartbreak, resonating seamlessly with Khamari’s own artistry, and brought to life by his emotive reproduction. This cover will lead into new music and a sophomore album, where he’ll continue the hunt for the intersection of timeless musicality and contemporary style, all without losing the honest accessibility which made him relatable from the start.
