Bandleader JJ Julius Son wanted to create an album that reflected how he sees these trying times, and even while he maintained a rigorous schedule, he remained focused on his craft and wrote new KALEO material.

“The songs are kind of a mixture between daydreaming and some social matters you can’t help but see,” he said. “Sometimes you have a bigger need to dive deep, or to speak frankly, about some issues.”

A truly global phenomenon, the band has emerged in both English and Icelandic languages, touring nonstop for three years in support of their platinum-selling debut album, A/B. They have also continued to tour all over the world and in new locations.

The band again collaborated with GRAMMY-winning producer Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Sierra Ferrell) to create MIXED EMOTIONS. JJ was able to go further than with previous projects, calling it an “amazing partnership.”
