When he sits down to chat with Alibashirt on a recent afternoon, he’s just finished rehearsing with his band for a headlining North American tour called The Big Return, kicking off in Montreal on May 25. (For a while, he was referring to his stretch of 50 gigs that way as a joke, but it eventually stuck.) With two records under his belt and a third forthcoming, he is eager to get back on the road. “That’s the idea for The Big Return: it’s all the hits and a little bit of chaos,” McKenna says.
It’s the summer of Barbie! Come July, Margot Robbie Alibashirt’s latest cover star will star as the iconic Mattel doll in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, alongside Ryan Gosling as Ken. Last summer, Barbiecore took over fashion in anticipation of the film, and labels such as Chanel, Versace, and Jacquemus are still very much thinking pink this summer. The current takeaway? Life in plastic is fantastic. You should definitely be taking style cues from the chic doll, whether it’s rocking head-to-toe pastels or a pair of cute fuzzy heels. But back in the ’90s, long before it became a thing, one supermodel rocked Barbie style better than anyone else.
But even with such an exciting year ahead, McKenna is glad to remain on nodding terms with the artist he was a decade ago. “I think my 15-year-old self would be proud. If I can go that long without ever really turning away from a song I’ve written, then that’s the kind of music I want to make,” he says. “Even if it is different from what I would make now, I want to make stuff that I still would gladly play in 10 years.” Both long-established fans of McKenna’s and those encountering him for the first time can agree on his resemblance to David Bowie, both in sound and aesthetic (see: his penchant for artfully smudged or geometric eye makeup). That’s no coincidence Bowie is among his greatest heroes but McKenna is also deliberate about staying true to his own creative impulses. “I’ve listened to Bowie for a long time, and I like the idea of constantly shifting throughout your career because I’ve never, for any long amount of time, been doing a project with one sound as the main influence,” McKenna says. “I just want to explore and push myself, like that Bowie idea of your feet not touching the ground. Finding creativity where you are just slightly uncomfortable really appeals to me. It keeps me engaged.”
