Keli Holiday has announced his new album, Capital Fiction.
Set for release on February 6th, Holiday — otherwise known as Peking Duk’s Adam Hyde — says his forthcoming second album “feels like the first Keli Holiday offering that is true to who I am.”
“It explores themes of longing for more, finding love in a crowded room, and the union of sex. I have spent the majority of my days since the birth of Keli Holiday focusing on what I want to say, how I want to say it, and what I want it to sound like. Capital Fiction captures the essence of who Keli Holiday truly is,” he adds.
Capital Fiction will feature Holiday’s mammoth hit “Dancing2”, which topped the ARIA Australian Singles Chart, hit No. 1 on the Spotify Viral Chart in Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland, and went viral on TikTok. “Dancing2” also picked up a nomination at the upcoming ARIA Awards (Best Video).
“This song is about meeting a love that seemed a world away,” Hyde said of that track. “There’s so much noise and distraction going on constantly as two single people in whatever business you want to call that we’re in.
Holiday’s album announcement is accompanied by new single “Ecstasy”, which will also feature on his new album. Listen below.
“This song was an idea off the dome whilst recording a different song with Sydney’s son, Golden Features, and Belgium’s belle, Romanie. I thought it could be fun to try that idea on a different beat I’d made. I brought it to Germany’s good lookin’ Konstantin Kersting in Brizvegas, and it was indeed more than fun to create this ecstatic lil ditty,” Holiday reveals.
