A focus track for the soul: “Learn Yourself”

Particularly notable among the tracks is “Learn Yourself”, which encapsulates the essence of self-reflection and inner discovery. Composed on the North Shore of Oahu during his inaugural visit to Hawaii, the song conveys an uplifting message.

“It’s about learning and understanding yourself,” Alberts shares. He reflects on the common misconception that one must move mountains to achieve happiness, noting that often, reconnection with oneself and nature yields greater fulfillment.

With bright acoustic melodies and introspective lyrics, the song embodies a profound truth: that happiness originates from within.

Described by Alberts as his “Disney song” due to its sweet vibe, the track is accompanied by a visually stunning music video that showcases moments of his creative process involving sunrise yoga, breathwork, and ice baths before stepping into the studio.

A record meant for the stage

Designed with live performance in mind, “New Love” reflects Alberts’ narrative prowess while embracing his evolution as a global touring artist.

Despite the lengthy creation process, the album was captured in a focused four-week recording session, preserving its essence without succumbing to overproduction pitfalls. The result is a personal yet universally relatable record, inviting listeners to reflect and reconnect.

A decade into his career, Alberts has cultivated a loyal global following. His rise has been marked by dedicated touring and captivating songwriting, catapulting him from small cafés to sold-out arenas worldwide, all achieved without major label backing.

His commitment to independence led to the establishment of Commonfolk Records, granting him the creative liberty that resonates strongly with his fervent fanbase.
