Role Model’s been in love. He was so in love he wrote his entire debut album Rx about it. But not all romances last forever, and the 27-year-old’s grieving of his last relationship is at the center of his sophomore album Kansas Anymore.

With over 45 million streams and 500 million+ views on TikTok across all tracks, Kansas Anymore is a folk-tinged, lyric driven album that encapsulates the warmth and comfort Role Model was seeking out when he wrote it. Featuring viral singles “Deeply Still in Love” and “Frances”, the album was a two year writing process, and includes production from Noah Conrad, Ian Fitchuk, Scott Harris & Jonah Shy.

Kansas Anymore evokes the cozy warmth of Role Model’s trips back to Maine to find comfort during that time. It’s a folky project, inspired by Zach Bryan, Pinegrove, War on Drugs, Caamp and Andy Shauf, all artists he listened to when he was missing the East Coast.
