Posted June 5, 20251 yr James K has announced her new album Friend which is due out 5th September on AD 93.Last year she spoilt us with the spellbinding “Blinkmoth (July Mix)” and “Hypersoft Lovejinx Junkdream” - this following up 2023s wonderful collab with hoodie “Scorpio”.The two singles from 2024 are on the new album, along with this brand new single “Play”. So pleased that she's finally got the album announced as I've pretty much been obsessed with everything she has released over the last few years. <3
June 5, 20251 yr Oooooo I'm not sure I know anything else but Play is very much right up my street, going to have to delve back now

Really looking forward to this album!
June 10, 2025Jun 10 'Play' is fabulous! I was wondering if an album was ever going to come. I've been a stan since the stunning 'Ultra Facial!' ❤️Just noticed her name is now with a lower case 'j' on Spotify

September 16, 2025Sep 16 Eep Play was gonna be my BSJC entry next month, had no idea she was well known on here already!But yeah, Play is amazing. Also really like Blinkmoth!
September 25, 2025Sep 25 Blinkmoth also finished 5th in BJSC! Don't continue the annoying trend of recycling recently successful artists xThis album has been on repeat ♥️ I love how dreamy, moody and 90s it is

September 25, 2025Sep 25 'Blinkmoth' hit me in BJSC and I enjoyed 'Play' and 'Doom Bikini' too so thought I'd give this album a go (on top of the praise in here ofc) and it's blissful 'Idea.2', 'N'Balmed' and 'Hypersoft Lovejinx Junkdream' are hitting me most at the moment from the songs that are new to me <3
September 25, 2025Sep 25 This album is just further proof of how stacked 2025 has been for AOTY material
September 25, 2025Sep 25 'Hypersoft Lovejinx Junkdream' was the 2nd single, released in November last year, a top 10 smash on mine and Dr Blind's personal charts at the time. It's the most streamed song of the era so far ♥️I LOVE the video
