Anything. is Kota the Friend’s third major release, following Palm Tree Liquor and Paloma Beach.
The name of the album stems from Kota’s desire to pursue different sounds, styles and vibes-as if the album could sound like anything- and the album captures just that. Tracks such as “Smile” are meant to be feel-good and calm vibe while tracks such as “Sydney” are more upbeat and dive into serious topics such as failed relationships.
Overall, this project when compared to previous works has a ‘happier’ feel to it. Kota explained it as Palm Tree Liquor and Paloma Beach being his work while he was in a ‘fog’ and fighting demons but Anything. being his first project after getting out of that fog and appreciating the place he’s in now. This project is also produced by the Grammy award winning engineer BLUE which makes it sound clearer than Kota’s previous works which were for the most part produced by him.
