I had a conversation with country pop singer-songwriter Niko Moon about his new album, AMERICAN PALM, which was released on July 18, 2025. As well as his upcoming headline tour, The American Palm Tour, which began on July 31 in Indiana.
How did you decide on the title for the album?
Niko: This album celebrates American coastal culture and lifestyle, so calling it AMERICAN PALM felt so natural.
Are there any songs you're looking forward to fans hearing?
Niko: Sandcastles is one that I hope listeners will connect to, it’s a very personal one for me.
What was the writing process like for the album?
Niko: Almost the entire album was written on the road in green rooms all across America, very fitting for the American name!
What was the creative process like for the album cover?
Every album cover of mine is my symbol so I wanted my symbol to be etched in the sand for the cover, I love how it came out!
Describe the album in three words?
Niko: Mental vacation music.
Are there any songs from the album you're excited to perform on tour?
Niko: I can’t wait to rock out on Sandbar, I think it’s gonna smash live!
Can you set fans up with the perfect environment to listen to the album in for the first time?
Niko: Get your favorite warm weather drink, some good speakers and hopefully this album will take you to the coast!
Did you face any unexpected challenges while creating the album?
Niko: We completely recut King Of The Island because we swung the beat and melody the first version then realized we liked it better playing it straight so we completely re-recorded the song. Whatever it takes to serve the song.
Do you have a favorite song on the album? Why is it your favorite?
Niko: Sandcastles. It’s about finding the beauty in the moment. I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it!
