Comedian and singer Kyle Gordon‘s third album, “Kyle Gordon Is Everywhere,” will feature narration by Daniel Radcliffe.
The album, which is set to be released Oct. 2, will feature Radcliffe performing a David Attenborough-esque narration during the album’s interludes.
The album’s first single, “Mr. Jambo,” is out now. Through the persona of a prototypical cringy American tourist named Barry Bergen, the song satirizes Paul Simon’s “Graceland,” which marks its 40th anniversary this summer. The accompanying music video, filmed in South Africa and the Kingdom of Eswatini, was also released Friday.
Gordon has made a name for himself through parodies that channel different personas and genres. His first album, “Kyle Gordon Is Great,” features 2000s country music and pop punk emo parodies. “Kyle Gordon Is Wonderful,” his second album, satirizes folk-pop and British rap. The upcoming third album pokes fun at nearly a dozen genres, including indie sleazepop, Disney Channel-era tween bops and late ‘90s minivan rock.
“With ‘Kyle Gordon is Everywhere’, I feel like I’ve achieved my goal of creating a comprehensive, cohesive comedy album that is enjoyable as a whole piece, but also a collection of very fun, funny, and catchy pop songs,” Gordon said in a statement. “I also feel as though I’ve finally found that perfect balance: the songs are funny without sacrificing the songwriting. Essentially they’re a bunch of great pop songs that are also funny.”
Gordon has amassed a social following of over 6 million followers with his musical comedy content. He has appeared on “The Simpsons” and recently made a recurring cameo on “The Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins,” where he first met Radcliffe.
