Kevian Kraemer’s new EP ‘Jersey or Mars’ explores transition, growth, and self-discovery. Watch the visualizer now.
Kevian Kraemer makes a compelling statement with the release of his long-awaited EP, Jersey or Mars, out now via Atlantic Records. The project dives deep into the nuances of change, encapsulating the emotional journey of growing up and stepping into the unknown.
The EP’s centerpiece is its electrifying title track, which is accompanied by a striking visualizer directed by Jack Alexander Cohen. It serves as a visual metaphor for the push and pull between comfort and ambition, home and the horizon.
“Jersey or Mars is honestly just me trying to make sense and process everything that’s happened over the past year and a half—moving from New Jersey to Los Angeles straight out of high school,” says Kraemer. “Each song on the project captures a different moment in time and feelings that came with them.” 
The release follows a special early listening event at Los Angeles’ Al’s General Store and precedes Kraemer’s first-ever headline tour, kicking off July 8 in Boston and wrapping in his home state at Asbury Park’s House of Independents on August 1. Stops include Mercury Lounge in NYC, The Lounge at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, and The Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles.
With a tracklist that includes “Rearview,” “Forever,” and fan-favorite “Don’t You Dare,” Kraemer’s Jersey or Mars captures the timeless tension between staying grounded and chasing what’s next.
