Damn Sad is about rejecting help when you need it most. It's something I've experienced and something I've seen in the people I care about. It's meant to be a song. you can cry to and also dance in. your room :)

New Album “PSYCHEDELIKA PT.1" is out November 28th.. Available to Pre-Order now exclusively from my official site:
https://thenewcitizenkane.co.uk/the-psychedelika-store

Psychedelika Pt. 1 isn’t just an album. It’s a trip — through chaos and clarity, denial and desire, fear and freedom. Sixteen songs that form a kaleidoscope of sound and story, where philosophy meets nightlife, heartbreak collides with satire, and the subconscious speaks out loud. Where Kane Luke’s previous album The Tales of Morpheus was autobiographical and cathartic — an unflinching dive into the past to heal and close a chapter — Psychedelika is the reawakening. It’s louder, stranger, more playful, more expansive. It looks outward as much as inward: meditating on anxiety (Afterglow), forbidden desire (Subconscious), the disconnection of modern life (Café Life), and the paradox of escapism (Ratbag Joy). Written after nearly a decade away from music, the album is steeped in personal resilience. Songs like My Muse reflect the return to creativity as survival, rejecting trends in favour of honesty. Heads Are Round channels Francis Picabia into a spinning meditation on the “monkey brain,” while It’s Saturday and I’m High fuses existential dread with surreal humour — starring Batman, Kane’s French bulldog, who struts like Naomi Campbell. At its core, Psychedelika is about perspective. How the mind bends, how love evolves, how the night hides as much as it reveals. Every track is a different lens — some playful, some devastating (Bite the Bullet), all rooted in a refusal to look away from life’s contradictions. “Morpheus was the healing,” Kane says. “Psychedelika is the reawakening. It’s me stepping back into music, not to chase success or money, but because this is how I survive. This is how I make sense of the chaos — by turning it into sound.”

Kane Luke, known artistically as The New Citizen Kane, is a genre-defying singer-songwriter, producer, and visual artist crafting cinematic, emotionally resonant indie-dance music. Rooted in his theatre background in Dublin and shaped by years spent across New York, Milan, and London, Kane’s artistry blends vulnerability, myth, and melody into immersive sonic storytelling.

Following early success co-writing and featuring on the global club hit "Don’t Feel No Shame" (Beatport No.1) and his debut album "It's Not Science... It's A Feeling" released in 2014, Kane stepped away from the spotlight—only to return years later with a bold new vision. His 2024 EP Endless Summer Serenade marked a celebrated comeback, followed by a series of audacious releases including a haunting cover of Mariah Carey’s Dreamlover, the club-ready Gotta Secret, and the melancholic holiday single Lonely Christmas Lights.

His sophomore album The Tales of Morpheus is both a confessional diary and a visual concept album, blending textured electronic production with poetic, introspective writing. Influenced by 80s new wave, synth-pop, and ambient house, Kane’s sound has drawn comparisons to George Michael, Pet Shop Boys, and Depeche Mode—yet remains uniquely his own.

Whether performing as The New Citizen Kane or behind the scenes as Discokane, Kane doesn’t just release songs—he crafts experiences. Now based in London, he continues to expand his artistic universe with new singles like San Diego and Ratbag Joy, leading into his next body of work Psychedelika. His music explores healing, identity, and transformation—all through a dreamlike, myth-making lens.
