Kim talks through the intimate meaning behind “Calm The Sea”, “I wrote this song when I was feeling really grateful for my partner and the nurturing and inspiring world we call home. The world is a wild wild place and it’s an absolute gift to have someone to share the crazy adventure with. It’s about having that wonderful person to ride the waves of life alongside.”

The release is accompanied by a stellar music video, filmed during Kim’s recently wrapped European tour of 27 dates. He is playing 16 dates across Canada before returning to Europe for another whirlwind tour this November, set to headline a stack of shows across the continent.

The new release arrives off the back of ”Hobbies”, the first taste of his forthcoming album which saw praise from the industry and fans alike, with Happy Mag cherishing Kim’s poignant songwriting saying, “The message is reassuring enough to sustain you for the rest of the year.”

Playing renowned festivals including Glastonbury Music Festival, Montreal’s International Jazz Festival and South By South West, along with a stack of home grown festivals, Kim’s decade long industry experience spreads far and wide. Raised on the coastal town of Merimbula, the songwriter has previously been crowned Australia’s National Youth Folk Artist of the Year and nominated for the National Live Music Awards Roots Act of the Year.
