Kaytranada and Kiefer Assist Ivan Ave on Smooth New Single "Also"

If you've spent any time in these digital spaces over the last few years, Ivan Ave's name should be a familiar one. The Norwegian MC has proven to be a reliable source for introspective lyricism and heady productions. Thus far we've heard him collaborate with Illa J and FloFilz, but the stakes just got a little higher with his latest release, linking with Kaytranada and Kiefer for the butter-smooth new single "Also."

Premiering via Majestic Casualthe track features drum programming from producer-of-the-year, Kaytranada, as well as keys from LA's own, Kieferboth of which provide a spacious bedrock for the Oslo spitter to ruminate on ambivalence and its limitations. "Also" arrives with a stunning visual treatment helmed by Oslo-based production house, Also Known As, and directors Stian Ulveraker Hauger and Thomas Flaatt, with art direction by Even Suseg. Here Ave treks gorgeous landscapes, both scenic and urban.
