Fit For A King announced last fall that they were planning on getting out of the traditional album cycle and devote more focus on standalone singles and EPs. In vocalist Ryan Kirby‘s words they said “no more album every 2 years, but more new music and more intentional records.”
The band has put their first single under the new strategy, which is a song called “Keeping Secrets“. The song arrives ahead of the band co-headlining tour with The Devil Wears Prada on the second leg of the ‘Metal Dropouts Tour‘ with Counterparts and AVOID in tow. Tour dates for the run are below. As for what inspired the band’s new song, Kirby said:
“‘Keeping Secrets‘ is a song that not only showcases some new elements for the band, it goes back to some of the more popular elements of our older work. The song’s theme of questioning if people can truly love you, if you don’t open up and let them know the real you, is something my adopted daughter has struggled with greatly, and is the inspiration for the song.”
