Jim Kerr is a Scottish musician and singer-songwriter, best known for his work with the band Simple Minds who achieved five UK No. 1 albums and a No. 1 single "Ballad of the Streets EP". He released his first solo album, Lost boy! AKA Jim Kerr, on 27 May 2010. "Shadow land" was released as the first single from the album. The album version of the song was made available to listen as an audio stream on 13 March 2010.

A new remix, more suitable for radio airplay, was done by Cenzo Townshend whom Jim Kerr chose because of Town shends's previous work with Simple Minds' latest album Graffiti Soul. A promotional single with the new radio mixes of the song was shipped to radio stations on 4 April 2010. "Shadowland" was originally meant to be released as a commercial physical release, but it was eventually only released as a download single on 9 May 2010. The three tracks on the download single were the same three tracks previously available on the "Shadow land" radio promo single. The album version of "Refugee" was premiered on Billy Sloan's show on 7 March 2010. A week later, the full album version of "Refugee" was made available as a download from the initial www.lostboyaka.com website. On 13 April 2010 "Refugee" was released as the lead track of the Welcome Gift 1 free download twin pack which was released as part of the main website launch of www.lostboyaka.com. In addition to the previously released album version of "Refugee", the free download twin pack included the track "What Goes On" (Scary Monsters Mix), which was exclusive to this release. The package also included the artwork and a text file requesting that the tracks not be uploaded to any other site.

The Lost boy! AKA 10-date European tour occurred from 18 to 31 May 2010. In August 2010 Lost boy! AKA embarked on a 12-date "Electro set Radio" tour for various European/UK radio stations but the band played only 4 dates in Germany and Spain. A new Lost boy AKA! 25-date "Electro set" (European) tour (the third one) (featuring Simon Hayward and Sarah Brown) was scheduled from 18 October to 3 December 2010 but the band played only 9 shows till the rest of the tour was cancelled after the performance on 13 November 2010 in Dublin, Ireland because of Jim's mother Irene who had become ill with a recurrence of cancer. In 2013, Kerr is to release his second solo album, which will be titled and released after Simple Minds' planned 2013 world tour.
