REVIEWS
“While enjoying an upbeat, cheery melody, I slowly began to realize my demise. Even with lyrics that pour out the ache of every artist right now, I still felt hopeful in the end. A lovely tune, well executed by wonder producer twins Klas & Joel. A song for a mournful Monday playlist.”
“Secret Circus does it again with an incredible new track featuring the equally amazing Tyler Jones”
“Good stuff. Nice arrangement, good clean production (I expect nothing less from you ;) ) and a fun video.”
“Your tune had an appealing flow, and the production was on point. The instruments were well done, and it had a nice groove going on. ”
“Love it! Great lyrics!”
“Love the lyrics. Adding to Healing Americana Songs now. Thanks and hope to hear more from you. ”

Awesome tune!!! Great lyrics. 👍 ”
“Very cool video about a very serious question… what will happen when AI takes over control of our planet… Great Work!”
“I loved the atmosphere big-time”
“Secret Circus picks up the torch of the 60s inspired protest vibes with “Hey AI”...”
“AMAZING (been stuck in my head for weeks)”
“The instrumental and the mix in general were really good.”
“I somehow feel a little safer now”
“Great tune. The song itself is a great story. The last minute of the song is beautiful to hear the full instrumentation and vocals all in! Love the music video! Sick shot of Joel playing the drums!
Love the lighting.”
“Asså så jävla bra! Har haft på hjärnan sedan första lyssningen 🥰”
“Great message and production guys! Miss you all! Greetings from Texas! 🤘🏻”
“I love the message! I think you guys did a really great job when writing this song! My most memorable line that I really liked was here We are sucking, soggy poison thru our paper straws. It really says a lot! Keep up the good work much love and support! 🙏🏼”
“I’m really loving how you’re addressing these topics! This is a beautiful and catchy piece. Congrats I love it!”
“What a great collaboration! Really captures the hell hole the future has turned out to be. But glad that yall are still making art. ❤️
Ps. My robot told me to say this ;)”
“The world is definitely changing, and I’m not sure if its for the better. We appreciate sharing and love the beat / melody, punchy.”
“Great song props to the mandolin and banjo”
“I love the moody but still kind of happy vibe, the guitars and banjo have a great melody and the bass feels very warm. I love the vocal lyrics, very nice...”
“Strong song about Al without doom and gloom music! Cat Stevens come to mind on your vocals Klas. Spot on Harmonies with you and Tyler. Mix sounds great! Nice blend with guitar and banjo.”
“Secret Circus has pulled off a neat trick, merging acoustic and electric instrumentation into a catchy, seductive Americana-meets-Folk/Rock. Its peppy feel belies the serious message of the song, but they manage it brilliantly!”
“Great job guys. It reminds me of the sixties anti war bands, like Country Joe, or maybe Jethro Tull.”
“The song offers an intimate perspective on where we are and where we are going: an important role of the songwriter that many forget. Glad to see New Mexico’s artists still making us move and think without replacing the outlaw vibes...”
