Critical
Praise for Kero One:
"The production on Early Believers is beautiful." - LeisureLab.com
"Kero relies on excellent production, live instrumentation and honest
lyrics from his point of view to make an album that flows from start to finish
and will most likely end the year in more than a few top ten lists." - Evolving

The
Video:
Artist and Plug Label head Kero One has
been keeping himself busy lately and lucky for us, we get to reap all the
benefits. Today, we get two healthy helpings from Kero: His sophomore effort Early
Believers is out today and we also get to peep his second music
video, this time for the follow-up single "When
The Sunshine Comes" featuring British singer Ben Westbeech.
Strolling along a beautiful beach in sunny California, Kero illustrates the
story of two young souls, John and Jane. John is in med school and falls
head over heels for Jane, a sweet, carefree party girl. Soon the two lovebirds
tie the knot but the pressures of the impending marriage get the best of
young John he begins to revert his days of partying. When Jane discovers
what he's been up to, the wedding bells stop ringing. Months later we see
Jane out with friends again, but one night she has one drink too many. In
a dreary hospital bed Jane opens her eyes, lucky to be alive, and who is
the young doctor she sees standing over her smiling...? Creatively directed
by Byron Chan, the video gives us a short but sweet love story, just in time
for spring.

The
Background:
Former web designer by day and rapper/producer/DJ by night, Kero One, stands
as a true testament to the do-it-yourself success story. His early career was
marked by endless hours of researching, cold calling, and networking to gain
exposure for his debut, self produced project Windmills of the Soul. Persistence
paid off with a little help from fate when one of the 50 copies of his album
was picked up in a tiny record store in Tokyo, Japan. Success was immediate,
as Windmills of the Soul became a hit overnight, which opened the floodgates
for international touring and performance opportunities. Three years later, after
a Best Hip Hop Album of 2006 award and collabos with Talib Kweli and Mark
Farina,
Kero One is back with his sophomore album entitled Early Believers, via his label,
Plug Label. Modulating from soulful jazz tinged tracks to upbeat synth-driven
party bangers, Kero One features some his favorite vocalists such as Giles Peterson
protégé UK singer Ben Westbeech, Finland's own modern day "Stevie
Wonder," and Portland's Ohmega Watts. Early
Believers will be released in
April 2009, just in time for spring cleaning and summer fun.
