In a four-star review of McKenna’s latest record, NME wrote: “On ‘What Happened To The Beach?’, perfectionism is released to make space to revel in creativity, resulting in a truly joyful effort.”
McKenna said in a recent interview with NME that he’d found the process of making the album “quite empowering”, adding: “[It] has made me feel like I’m capable of executing different kinds of songs.
“I see every album of mine as an opportunity to make something that I’m proud of, as well as an opportunity to learn from different people along the way. I followed a dramatically different process to what I have done before, but it allowed me to absorb new methods from the musicians around me.”
In February, McKenna celebrated the album release by performing a rendition of his 2023 single ‘Nothing Works’ on the long-running children’s TV show Blue Peter.He also got involved with the regular arts and crafts segment of the show.
