{"product_id":"kicking_my_feet_screaming","title":"Kicking My Feet \u0026 Screaming","description":"\u003cp\u003eKicking My Feet \u0026amp; Screaming is the third studio album by Australian singer‑songwriter Ruel, released on June 12, 2026 through Recess Records and Giant Music as a direct sequel to his 2025 album Kicking My Feet. On streaming platforms, the project appears as a 21‑track release: ten new songs followed by the standard edition of Kicking My Feet, effectively binding the two records into a single, expanded listening experience. Ruel has described the sequel concept as less a strict narrative continuation than a sonic and emotional companion piece, with both albums inhabiting the same “universe” while focusing on different phases of love and self‑reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile Kicking My Feet centers on the giddy, awkward joy of infatuation and “leaning into the cringe” of young love, Kicking My Feet \u0026amp; Screaming pivots toward more turbulent territory, embracing frustration, vulnerability, and the messier aftermath of relationships. The new songs, co‑produced by a team including Joel Little, Julian Bunetta, Dan Wilson, M‑Phazes, and others, push Ruel’s blend of alternative pop and R\u0026amp;B into slightly darker, more restless moods, framing emotional venting and overthinking as core themes. Taken together, the two albums form a diptych: the first dismantles Ruel’s need to seem “cool or profound,” while the second amplifies his tendency to go “a bit too far” emotionally, offering a fuller, more contradictory portrait of love, youth, and artistic growth in his early twenties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album - Indie Excl.
