“Kryptonite” is Zeke Forever’s sophomore album. Zeke started working on Kryptonite" late 2019 when It was originally called “When I Feel” and had a single “Blind” released early 2020. Right before finishing the scrapped album Covid-19 took over the world. Zeke soon started writing and realized the story wasn’t finished yet. One and a half years later Zeke returned with singles like “Wonderland” and “Fade” which the later was later called “Song Of the Day” by Central Track.

“This album is every way I reacted to loneliness, especially since the pandemic played a really big part in that. It hit really hard for me… Loneliness is my biggest weakness, it’s my kryptonite. It always had, so much I always fell into situations that I should have never been in. So this was a way for me to unpack that and face the music.”

Some song’s (like Fade & Kryptonite) sounds and content were directly Inspired by his Netflix quarantine binges. Other songs (Like Unprepared, Fool and Determined) are inspired by sounds and songs he loved as a child. All songs however come from personal experiences and from Kenan’s (Zeke Forever’s actual name) pen.

“I was really inspired by the song In The Morning by Mary Mary. It was one of my favorite songs as a kid but I didn’t realize what it had really meant until 2019. I was always playing that when times got rough and boy did it ever. So with Kryptonite I hope you dance, gyrate and have a really good time. That’s always gonna be my mission but I also want you know that your nights won’t last always, things will always be alright. So I told my story about another dark phase in my life but I also Interviewed a couple of friends and family because that is the real reason I’m here to tell you this story. I was not alone, even though I was lonely. I. Was. Not. Alone. Hopefully you’ll feel that too.”
