New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Arkells return with a brand new single �You Can Get It� featuring K.Flay out today on Universal Music.
�You Can Get It� announces itself from the first note and asks a very simple question: �Tell me what you want?� The sentiment, much like its sound is both fearless and steadfast. They want you to think big.
Recorded with K.Flay in-person, in Los Angeles prior to 2020�s lockdown, the song has since taken on a new sense of relevance and urgency, after having been stuck inside for a year. �It feels like the sun is finally coming out, and the song is about being free to chase down every dream and desire,� says
Arkells frontman, Max Kerman.
�When we started writing this song, the world felt dark,� he continues. �We were looking for answers. You look to people who give you energy. You look for little moments that can lead you on a new path. Collaborating with K.Flay gave us that jolt. She turned the song on its head and drove it home. Our band is always evolving and growing, and she's now in the family.�
�This song is about finding your momentum, the potential energy that's inside of you,� says K.Flay. �The moment when you scream to yourself "I DON'T GIVE A F*CK TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT! YOU CAN GET IT!" So often, the future doesn't just feel unknowable - it feels impossible. We wanted this song to feel like possibility. Like the world is opening up. Like you are powerful.�
Hailed by The
Globe and Mail as �the right kind of band for this decade,�
Arkells are widely considered one of the most passionate, exuberant and in-demand live bands working today. As radio mainstays, sport-sync shoe-ins and curious students of culture,
Arkells have remained ever present � building awareness and personal community experiences around their live shows and new music at every turn. The most emblematic example of this being The Rally,
Arkells hometown concert that sold 24,000 tickets and was hailed as one of the biggest headline shows in the country. While off the road in 2020,
Arkells pivoted to their first acoustic-leaning project, Campfire Chords - a deluxe LP & play-at-home guitar chord book inspired by their most beloved hits, and the band�s live streamed interactive music lessons that moved fans to learn new skills while �flattening the curve� from home.
The Chicago-born K.Flay�s near-undefinable amalgamation of dark-electro soundscapes, art-pop sensibilities, spitfire rhymes, industrial rock backbone and versatile chameleon-like vocals has led the songwriter/artist/multi-instrumentalist to two GRAMMY nominations, tours alongside Grouplove,
Imagine Dragons & Thirty Seconds To Mars, and festival spots at ACL Fest, Bonnaroo, Coachella, Treefort, and Riot Fest.
