"I feel like I'm a new artist. I think this album will surprise those who think they know me from what I've done previously."
"I've always loved the local, its intimacy and camaraderie.... I feel that the truest 'Goin' Local' is the privilege to go inside my own head and hear how I sound to me."

Kaye expresses a sense of being a new artist and aims to surprise listeners. He emphasizes the importance of local intimacy and the privilege of self-reflection in his music.
