Jonah Kagen spent his breakout era writing songs out of the back of an Airstream. His 2025 debut, Sunflowers and Leather, felt like it was pulled right out of the American highway—nomadic, acoustic-driven, and tied to whatever town he rolled into next.

For his sophomore record, Eternity of Anything (arriving October 30 via Arista Records), he did the exact opposite. He stayed put, locked himself away, and forced his focus inward.

Lead single “Don’t Feel Right” is the first look at that shift.

Instead of chasing a clean-cut breakup narrative, Kagen zeroes in on a much messier emotional trap: staying with someone because letting go feels impossible, even when you know the dynamic is wrecking you. As Kagen puts it, the track captures “the feeling of knowing something is wrong before you can name it.”

Sonically, it pushes him past the cozy, stripped-back singer-songwriter box. The production is darker and heavier, trading purely acoustic warmth for a cinematic, restless edge that feels built for bigger stages.

Quick Details:

If “Don’t Feel Right” is any indication, Eternity of Anything is going to be a sharp, self-aware look at romantic chaos. Spin the track above and let me know if this heavier direction works for him.
