Irish hip-hop sensation KeSTine has released his highly-anticipated third studio album 'Another Season'. The album follows his deeply personal single 'Options', offering listeners a glimpse into the themes of faith, family, and the cyclical nature of life that permeate the new record.
'Another Season' reflects on the fleeting yet precious nature of time, delving into the choices and relationships that define us. Inspired by deeply personal experiences, including the loss of his grandmother, KeSTine explores how to honour loved ones while continuing to move forward. Produced by Outsider Yp, with contributions from Puzzle Beatz, Dionso, and Isiah 22, the album seamlessly blends KeSTine’s distinctive Irish hip-hop style with global influences. Drawing inspiration from Kendrick Lamar’s lyrical depth, Kojey Radical’s storytelling, early Kanye West’s genre-blending innovation, and South Africa’s soulful Amapiano rhythms, 'Another Season' showcases KeSTine’s evolution as an artist.
“I’m praying for another season with those I love,” KeSTine shared. “The reality of losing people close to you makes you realize how important every second really is. This album is about appreciating the present while confronting the fear that time is running out.”
Since his breakout 2021 EP 'Reflection', KeSTine has been on a remarkable trajectory. With critical acclaim from Hot Press Magazine and Golden Plec, and accolades such as the Best Hip-Hop Music Video award at the 2022 Rome Music Video Awards for 'U.N.I.T.Y.', he has solidified himself as one of Ireland’s leading hip-hop voices. From electrifying performances at major festivals like Electric Picnic and Indiependence, KeSTine has become a powerful presence on the Irish and UK music scene.
