Nick Hakim announces his fourth studio album, I Can See, set for release on July 24th. His new single and the album’s title track, which reflects on moments of clarity, and the gratitude for being able to recognize them, to subdued conversations with loved ones who have since passed on in a house not dissimilar to the one Hakim grew up in, to “Water,” which honors the fragility of love and reverence for life, I Can See presents a world where memory and the present are inseparable.

Speaking on the single Nick shares, “I can’t imagine beginning this album without this track. It’s the entry point of this collection of songs. This took 4 years to finish. It felt like an experiment of how time moves, and we change, but how you can retain a feeling from the sound or tone of music you’ve made or love. The initial demo of this song took 20 minutes to make, but the patience and time it took to “finish” was worth every moment.”

written over five years, I Can See was formed during an uncertain period in Hakim’s life, marked by the end of a record deal and a long-term relationship. Initially conceived from intimate bedroom demos and later taking full form at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas, and in various studios in NYC. The songs were made alongside an incredible cast of longtime collaborators, including Andrew Sarlo (Dijon, Bon Iver), and mastered by Heba Kadry (Björk, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Gorillaz), a nod to the rich community of artists who surround him. A faithful collaborator, he’s contributed to a number of projects such as Eddie Chacon’s Lay Low, Adrienne Lenker’s Bright Future, Lil Yacthy’s Let’s Start Here, among others.

Hakim, will kick off his tour on September 17th in his hometown of Washington D.C., he’ll perform songs from his forthcoming album as well as his lauded catalog across North America for shows in New York, Toronto, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, and two performances in Los Angeles. The European and UK leg will see performances in Dublin, Glasgow, London, Birmingham, Paris, Berlin, and more.
