“A bright drum line, a simmering synth beat, and a deliciously scratchy guitar underscore Burke’s rich, breathy vocal track.” – The Fader on “Find The Light”
Described as “big, bright alt-pop” by Stereogum, Hamilton, Canada-based artist Jasmyn has released her debut solo album ‘In The Wild’ today; listen to it HERE. Formerly the frontperson of the band Weaves, Jasmyn embraced a chance to step back and reset on ‘In The Wild’, where the art of reshaping, shifting and grounding is encouraged with an open-hearted vigor. The album shows us that by diving far into ourselves and ruminating on the reflection we see in the mirror, we can unearth a new kind of clarity, where the balance we’ve been searching for slowly begins to reveal itself.
She has also released a new music video for the album’s title track that shows a chameleon-like Jasmyn blending into the background behind her as she belts out the song. Watch it below.
“I can be something else. I can move into something new,” Jasmyn says of the album’s themes. “It’s about letting go. Just live your life, you know? You never know how long you’re here.”
To piece together this new phase, Jasmyn worked with Grammy award-winning producer John Congleton at his studio in Los Angeles. For Jasmyn, it was important that the sonic universe of the album reflected the ebbs and flows of a transitional chapter, where she could be free to create whatever felt right in that moment. While there’s a continual middle ground that threads itself throughout the album, ‘In The Wild’ makes room for the quieter, introspective moments, as well as the booming, blossoming catharsis.
“I wanted to create songs that would help people feel a type of confidence in themselves,” she says.
