Electronic/Review The New Citizen Kane - PSYCHEDELIKA Pt.1

The New Citizen Kane is the sound of memory wrapped in melody. He makes music that feels like a dream you can dance to. Born Kane Michael Luke and now based in London, his work as a singer, songwriter, producer, and visual artist connects feeling and form—tying synth lines to heartbreak and cinematic visuals to personal truth.

With “PSYCHEDELIKA Pt.1,” The New Citizen Kane unveils the opening chapter of an ambitious master project that feels less like a traditional album and more like a fully immersive art statement. This is a kaleidoscopic exploration of life viewed through an unfiltered, deeply personal lens—sometimes surreal, sometimes raw, but always unmistakably human.

What sets “PSYCHEDELIKA Pt.1” apart is its total commitment to singular vision. With no collaborators involved, every sound, texture, and emotional turn bears the unmistakable fingerprint of its creator. The result is a cohesive and fearless body of work where vulnerability isn’t an aesthetic choice—it’s the foundation. The music drifts between psychedelic atmospheres, introspective songwriting, and moments of stark emotional clarity, creating a sense of constant movement and discovery.

As a full visual album, “PSYCHEDELIKA Pt.1” blurs the boundary between sound and image. Each track feels like a scene in a larger cinematic narrative, designed to be experienced as a whole rather than in fragments. There’s an almost dreamlike logic at play, where emotions guide the journey more than linear storytelling, pulling the listener into an intimate psychological space.

The album’s strength lies in its honesty. It doesn’t aim to comfort or explain; instead, it invites listeners to sit with uncertainty, contradiction, and self-reflection. The New Citizen Kane embraces imperfection, allowing moments of chaos and clarity to coexist naturally.

As the first installment of a larger vision, “PSYCHEDELIKA Pt.1” feels both complete and anticipatory. It’s a bold, uncompromising introduction that establishes The New Citizen Kane as an artist unafraid to expose the psyche in full color—and this is only the beginning.
