Kamal. Releases Raw Performance of New Single ‘How The F*** Does Everybody Else Manage’

Underground London artist Kamal. gets raw and vulnerable in his brand new single ‘How The F*** Does Everybody Else Manage’, marking a new chapter ahead of his debut album. Released with an intimate performance in a garage, the music video represents the realness of the lyricism in which Kamal. questions the difficulties of managing everyday life.

Produced by Jonny Coffer and Humble the Great, with string arrangements by Jacob Bugden - the track is tied together by the combination of rich vocals, a piano and a cinematic use of strings. Kamal.’s voice doesn’t rely on heavy vocal acrobatics; instead, his voice carries a soft, almost conversational quality that still feels emotive and controlled, making every line feel like a direct, heartfelt confession. He moves seamlessly between angelic vocal passages and rap-inflected flows, blurring the genre lines with ease.

Describing the track as the first chapter of the album - which promises to explore deeper tensions of navigating life, lyrically this track describes the disbelief of looking around and wondering how everyone else does it. Adulthood, capitalism, grief, anxiety, depression and constant pressure are just some of the themes the artist mentions. Kamal. frames the song as “a desperate plea for answers in a world that presents itself so enigmatically.” Rather than offering resolution, the track poses the question that the album continues to circle.

The single and its accompanying visuals lean into rawness and emotional honesty, offering a glimpse of the vulnerability the debut album, How The Fuck Does Everybody Manage, is set to explore.

This release follows a run of major press-worthy moments for Kamal., including a public co-sign from Billie Eilish, collaborations with Dave and Central Cee, touring as special guest with Central Cee, over 250 million streams to date, and an Ivor Novello Award nomination. His rise has been defined by an intentionally vulnerable approach to songwriting and a growing reputation as a voice for a disoriented generation.

We’re excited to see the release of Kamal.’s new debut project.
