Channeling pain into beauty, Ken Yatesâ fourth album Cerulean is a breathtaking triumph of the human spirit. The cool-hued Cerulean captures the artistâs intimate reckoning as he grieved his dying mother, giving listeners a vivid window into the rollercoaster of intense thoughts and emotions that accompany such a personal, yet universal experience.
With three albums under his belt, the Ontario born songwriter spent the past decade establishing himself as a talented folk artist with a penchant for thoughtful lyrics and evocative melodies. Nonetheless, Cerulean feels like a hard reset on Yates' art and artistry. He won two Canadian Folk Music Awards in 2017, and supported Passenger on both the European and North American legs of his recent tour. He was also a nominee for SiriusXM the Coffee Houseâs Songwriter Discovery of the Year and has received praise from artists such as John Mayer.
