Breakout indie pop artist Kevian Kraemer is continuing his unstoppable ascent with the release of his new EP, only if it matters, available now via Atlantic Records. The highly anticipated project, which Kraemer celebrated last week at a special fan release event at holiday® in West Hollywood, includes the standout track, “does it still mean something?”, which will be joined by an official music video later next week. Produced by Mickey Brandolino (Valley, Knox, Lauv), “does it still mean something?” explores the feeling of “growing distant from something that once felt limitless, and the impulse to try again,” says Kraemer. “It truly feels like such a massive moment, and I’m so excited to give this song life on a big stage.”
The 7-song EP is further highlighted by the instant fan-favorite, “i just get worse,” available HERE alongside an official lyric video. The song proved an immediate sensation upon its premiere last month, earning a coveted spot on the cover of Apple Music’s “New Music Daily” playlist. Additionally, only if it matters features the emotionally charged “you woke me up” and impassioned “down under,” both joined by companion music videos streaming now on Kraemer’s official YouTube channel.
Currently boasting over 54M worldwide streams and counting, the New Jersey-born artist will embark on a wide-ranging North American summer headline tour – marking his biggest live run thus far. only if it matters (ON TOUR) kicks off July 7 at Washington, DC’s The Atlantic and then travels through mid-August, including eagerly anticipated stops at iconic venues such as New York City’s Bowery Ballroom (July 8), Chicago, IL’s Lincoln Hall (July 19), and Los Angeles, CA’s legendary Troubadour (July 30).
