Having released one song a week since early July, Grammy-winning singer/songwriter and producer Kimbra completes the rollout of her fifth album Idols & Vices (Vol. 1) with the fifteenth drop: closing track “Stay Strong”. Tapping into an old-school R&B sound, the song features backing vocals from Taylor Graves, who executive produced the album together with Kimbra.

Writing on Instagram ahead of the album release, the New Zealand-born alt pop artist described the project as “a tribute to my of collaboration and the endless complexities of the sparkling Digital Age,” adding:

“We live in a new era of Idol worship with a bombardment of Vices at our fingertips – always relentlessly pointing outward at what can only be found within. It’s a trip into the enlightening and frightening sides of the spider Web; a place rife with colorful intoxications, elation, transcendence and descent. The starry eyed cast of Demi Gods traverse foreign terrains in search for meaning but are lured by status, fragmented into frivolous remnants of consumption fizzing in an overstimulated Brain Cloud. Lighthearted as always! 😈 But the real fans know to dig beneath the surface and look for crumbs along the yellow brick road...”

Idols & Vices (Vol. 1) is released through [PIAS]-owned label Inertia Music. Other guests on the album include Dawn Richard, Ivy Sole, Banks, Sahtyre, Tommy Raps, Fatboi Sharif, Le’Asha, DRAM, and... Candy Crush Saga? "I like to approach my work with a sense of curiosity and discovery [and] that playfulness is at the heart of my creative process," explains Kimbra. "Sampling the Candy Crush sounds was a wonderful reminder of the joy and freedom that music allows."
