Global singer-songwriter sets the tone for upcoming album with genre-blending new release

Internationally acclaimed artist Jann Klose returns with his compelling new single, “Future Trap,” offering a bold and sonically rich preview of his forthcoming album The Future Trap, due for release on 29 May 2026. The new single releases today, 17 April 2026.

A dynamic collaboration between Klose and producer-songwriter Marcus Dembinski, “Future Trap” is a rare creative partnership in which both of them co-wrote and co-produced the track - and even performed every instrument on the final recording. The result is a genre-defying sound that fuses reggaeton-inspired rhythms with elements of West African percussion, 80s-style synths, and rock guitar textures.

Quote: “The origin of ‘Future Trap’ actually begins a few years ago, around the time of Jann’s last record Surrender,” says Dembinski. “Jann sent me a series of demos, among which was the vocal hook for ‘Future Trap’. While it wasn’t right for that project, it stayed with me. When we revisited it in 2025, we built a groove that sampled bits of Jann’s past to create something both nostalgic and new. The energy in the studio was so electric that we ended up playing every instrument on the track ourselves.”

At its core, “Future Trap” explores the universal struggle of falling back into familiar patterns. “We constructed a story about a character who just can’t help himself from repeating the same mistakes,” Dembinski adds. “That idea became so powerful, it ultimately shaped the direction of the entire album.”

For Klose, the track marks a continuation of a deeply collaborative and creatively fulfilling partnership. “After the success of ‘Surrender’, Marcus and I really found our groove (pun intended),” he says. “He’s the first producer I’ve worked with across multiple albums, and our connection makes the process incredibly fluid. We recorded live drums and vocals at The Koop Studios in Irvington, New York, with additional sessions in Manhattan and Astoria. It’s a blend of spaces that mirrors the layered sound of the track itself.”

Raised across Kenya, South Africa, Germany, and the United States, Klose’s music reflects a truly global perspective. With eight albums and two EPs to his name, Jann’s recent releases Surrender and In Tandem have amassed over 10 million streams, charting on Top 40 radio in both the US and South Africa resulting in over 7000 spins across radio.

Beyond the stage, Jann served as the singing voice of Tim Buckley in the 2012 film Greetings from Tim Buckley, and his music has been featured on Billboard Top 10 compilations, GRAMMY®-nominated projects, and in film and television including MTV Cribs and the movies Married Young, Dead Broke and One Little Finger, where he worked alongside the legendary Quincy Jones.

A seasoned performer, Jann has appeared in touring productions of Broadway classics such as Jesus Christ Superstar, Jekyll & Hyde, and The Who’s Tommy, and has collaborated with an extraordinary list of artists including Pat Benatar, John Oates, Suzanne Vega, Paula Cole, Rosanne Cash, Alicia Madison, The Yardbirds, Renaissance and Annie Haslam, Roger McGuinn, Jeffrey Gaines, Pete Seeger, and Les Paul.

In addition to his music, Klose hosts the popular podcast Making Sound with Jann Klose, which has featured over 140 episodes with leading voices from across the global music industry, most recently welcoming the sensational synth pop icon Howard Jones to the show.

With “Future Trap,” Jann Klose not only delivers a standout single but also sets the stage for an ambitious new album era and one that promises to push sonic boundaries while staying rooted in honest storytelling.

“Future Trap” is available on all major streaming platforms from today.
