Jay Som is set to return later this year with her new album ‘Belong’.
The artist, Melina Duterte, received significant praise for her earlier albums, reaching a pinnacle with 2019’s excellent ‘Anak Ko’.
After taking a break, Jay Som has announced plans for her upcoming studio album, her first in six years.
Scheduled for release on October 10th through Lucky Number, this brand-new 11-track album features appearances by Jim Adkins and Paramore’s Hayley Williams.
Two new tracks are available now: ‘Float’ pays tribute to the early 2000s MTV anthems, channeling the sound of Jimmy Eat World. Jim Adkins also contributes to the song.
Jay Som shares: “This song explores the struggle of trying to cling to past versions of oneself for the sake of self-preservation. The fear of the unknown can feel so daunting that sometimes the best approach is to sit with it rather than fight or flee from it.”
Jim Adkins comments: “Melina is truly a professional in every facet of music creation. I'm grateful that she made space for me in her vision, and it was incredibly enjoyable to collaborate. It’s a fantastic song!”
Energetic and lively, ‘Float’ contrasts with the deeper, more mellow ‘A Million Reasons Why’.
Listen to both tracks below.
