Inviting NPR to his home studio, FKJ, short for French Kiwi Juice, performs a dreamy one-man Tiny Desk Concert, offering viewers a look into the making of select songs from his new V I N C E N T album — namely “New Life” and “IHM.” Seamlessly transitioning from track to track whilst juggling sounds from the piano, saxophone, synths, drums, and guitars, he throws in an improvised jam sesh as well as fan-favorite songs “TUI” and “Ylang Ylang.” In contrast with his performances at stunning locations such as La Fée Electricité, Paris and Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia for Cercle, the Tiny Desk Concert catches FKJ in his natural environment after a long period of introspection, as he rediscovers the lost innocence and freedom in his life with his second album.

Following collaborations with artists including Nicki Minaj, Polo G, Chris Brown and Key Glock earlier this year, Fivio Foreign has enlisted The Kid LAROI for a new track, dubbed “Paris to Tokyo,” and an accompanying music video. The duo debuted the cut at London’s Wireless Festival last week before announcing that the single would receive an official release. The visual sees the pair delivering bars, which sample Far East Movement and Ryan Tedder’s “Rocketeer,” among a myriad of swerving cars in an empty lot and partygoers in a prismatic club. “Paris to Tokyo” hits streamers just three months following Fivio’s debut album  B.I.B.L.E., which features executive production by Kanye West. The 17-track record features guest appearances from Ye, A$AP Rocky, Lil Yachty, Polo G,&nb...
