The global pandemic hasn’t brought us a lot worth celebrating, but the creativity it’s inspired is a real silver lining. Melbourne was hit harder than most Aussie cities, but local soul singer JXCKY has turned lemons into lemonade with his latest single “Lockdown Lover.”
The track explores the idea of building emotional connections during this time when physical connections are so hard to find. It sounds like a bit of a throwback to the slow-jam glory days of the ‘90s, which is no negative at all. JXCKY’s falsetto is oh so smooth.
With a few more single releases slated for 2020’s remaining months and an album to follow next year, it sounds like we’ll be hearing a lot more from JXCKY.
