INTRODUCING JYE LISTEN TO ‘SLEEPING IN’ TITLE TRACK OFF FORTHCOMING LP

Introducing rising star Jye, the Australian-born self-produced singer from the Sunshine Coast, sharing the first taste of his upcoming LP, the title track of the album, ‘Sleeping In‘. LISTEN HERE.

Jye‘s unique brand of indie-pop shines through with warmth, bounce and tenderness as the Sunshine Coast-based musician translates the intimacy of his personal life into a dreamy, eclectic sound. A singer, producer and composer working with the filigree and care of a D.I.Y. musician Jye‘s craft strike a balance as both deeply personal art, and a mirror for others to truly see themselves in; tethering sonic influences of Dominic Fike and Still Woozy into his own.

Featuring a confluence of soul-baring honesty and sunbaked production, ‘Sleeping In‘ flows in two parts, built around guitar in its first half and electronic ambience in its second half — an encapsulation of everything Jye is and everything he will be, an open-hearted song with its eyes trained firmly on the horizon. The release is a raw and real take into the uniqueness of relationship break-ups, highlighting the universal sentiment of love, allowing listener interpretation and the notion of finding peace in yourself. 

Speaking to the release, Jye shares “I was in a pretty bad car accident with an ex-partner a couple of years ago, and it really changed my perspective on life. It was a moment in which I decided I really wanted to pursue music. I thought it would be interesting to add this aspect to the song. The second half was built off of this idea, I wanted to give this dreamlike reflection off the first verse with the implication having crashed into water and the ‘life flashing before your eyes’ moment”. The track also comes with its own video directed by Levi Cranston. Of the video, Jye says “Levi Cranston really brought this to life visually, with the video implying this idea of being blinded by love that leads to the crash scene, the crash being the only prompt we had talked about for a video.”
