Today’s guest post is the very first one on the blog written by a musician! And it marks a sort of first for the artist as well, since in the post he talks about a brand new single: new in the way of just being releases today and in the way of it being completely different from his previous work. But don’t let me spoil you Jxckson’s own explanation!
Read and then listen to DROWING!
I wrote ‘DROWNING’ a few years ago as a demo and always wanted to revisit it. It’s a dramatic and experimental pop song that delves into the waves of emotions that come after a turbulent relationship. When I wrote the song, I was overwhelmed and numbed by the emotions I was experiencing. I felt lost and unsure of what was going to happen next, and I wanted to capture that feeling in the song – but personify it and tell a story about a relationship.
‘DROWNING’ is a new sound and style for me as an artist. I wanted to explore a more experimental side of alt-pop and really push the boundaries with this song. It’s a departure from my previous work, but it felt important to release something that was truly authentic and representative of where I am as an artist right now. Boy Sim produced ‘DROWNING’ and really helped bring my vision to life. The first time I heard the track with full production, it was a shift and I felt this was the most representative of the music I’ve always wanted to make.
I hope ‘DROWNING’ resonates with anyone who has experienced the aftermath of a turbulent relationship or situation. I wanted to create something that was both relatable and cathartic for listeners. I’m excited for people to hear my music and to share this new sound and style with my fans. It’s an important moment for me as an artist, and I can’t wait to see where this new direction takes me.
DROWNING is available on all streaming and digital music platforms. Make sure to follow me for more updates and keep an eye out for an announcement of a release date for the music video.
