Kajo Releases New Single “In A Week” via Logic’s Bobby Boy Records

Philippine-born, LA-based, singer/songwriter Kajo releases his new single “In A Week” via Logic’s Bobby Boy Records/Def Jam Recordings. Listen here. 

Kajo came to fame as a producer/pianist with the rapper Logic, where Kajo has quickly proven to be a visionary songwriter in his own right, obliterating boundaries between sounds and styles as a means of undertaking some rich, textured worldbuilding. 

In his own words, Kajo says,

​​“In A Week is about being disappointed in the way a relationship unfolds. It tells a story of two people experiencing a short season together only to drift apart and become strangers to one another. In this scenario, one person seems to hold onto the memory in a more involved way than the other. Most importantly, this song is about recognizing that an individual you regard in a certain way is not responsible for the image and memory you maintain of them. 

Sonically, I was inspired by Emo and Goth. I experimented with reverbs and vocal processing to create a feeling of being in a chamber…to convey a sense of being encapsulated in time with a memory and the person in it. ”

About Kajo

Genre-bending songwriter Kajo took the long road to music and, now, he’s writing his own rules. In each of his songs, you can hear the kind of intentionality that comes from an artist fine-tuning their craft across years, knowing exactly when to defy expectations and when to offer something comforting and nostalgic. He has a special knack for making familiar strains feel otherworldly — using soft synth, sharp percussion, and syrupy vocals as the fuel for journeys to distant musical planets. One way he adds to these vividly realized musical worlds is through the visual side of his work. Kajo is sitting on a treasure trove of self-directed music videos, each a burst of controlled chaos. 

Fueled by a striking sense of humor and an eye for the fantastical, his new work is an ecstatic summation of his boundary-pushing impulses, slamming together energetic shoegaze, delicate chillwave wisps, and heavy hip-hop rhythms. He moves the way old-school producers do—he cares about freshness, but he’s also aware of how trends come and go, and how new ideas are often steeped in history. Even to the most trained ears, his music will sound like nothing else. Kajo has a foot in the past, sure, but his music feels entirely new.
