Avi Kaplan on “Feel Alright”:
“This song is one of the grooviest songs I’ve ever written. Out the gate the guitar lick and sparse drums gets your head bobbing and toe tapping. I really wanted this tune to get people moving. I’ve written many songs about being down and out, this song is a triumph of those times and a call to arms for anyone who is struggling to not let things get them down. I hope this song inspires people to not let the darkness and seriousness of everyday life get to them. Brush it off. Loosen up. Feel alright.”
Written by Avi Kaplan and Michal Nocny, “Feel Alright” was co-produced by Kaplan and Reid Leslie and recorded at Summit Sound Studio in Nashville, TN. The track features Kaplan (vocals, background vocals), Nocny (drums, percussion), Josh Blaylock (organ), Juan Solorzano (guitar, bass), Reid Leslie (percussion) and Daniel Ellsworth (organ).
The new track, Kaplan’s first offering since last November’s exquisite piano ballad, “Healing,” heralds a busy 2024 for the celebrated artist as he readies new music and prepares for a slew of concert dates later this year.
2022’s Shooter Jennings-produced LP, Floating On A Dream received praise from across the musical spectrum including No Depression: “A successful debut LP that establishes Kaplan as a burgeoning talent,” FLOOD: “Sounds trailblazed by artists like Lee Hazlewood, Ray LaMontagne, and Shooter Jennings,” PopMatters: “They choose to see the heavens and sonically take us with them,”: the Tennessean: “a powerful confession driven by his warm, deep-voiced delivery,” American Songwriter: “makes you remember you have a heart, literally and metaphorically,” and country tastemaker publication Holler, who gave the album an 8.5/10 album review, stating, “As its name and imploring title track implies, there truly is a sense of Floating on a Dream throughout this unforgettable introduction to an artist whose initial offering will be tough to better.” Additionally NPR’s Weekend Edition profile stated, “Avi Kaplan’s won recognition and GRAMMYs for his work in the acapella group, Pentatonix. With his first solo album, this baritone reveals his full range.”
