jnr. and JËVA Release Emotional New Single “Cruel”

jnr. and JËVA have joined forces for the powerful new single “Cruel.” After writing the song together, both talents have contributed vocals to the track. Bringing two voices into the song helps bring to life the story of a break-up before the break-up, that period of time when both people know the relationship isn’t working but aren’t quite ready to say goodbye.

After enjoying jnr.’s upbeat pop single “Say (Light Me Up)”, I’m excited to hear something so different. It’s more stripped back, more intimate and vulnerable than the track that came before.

If you’re in Eora/Sydney, you can hear more of .jnr’s music when he opens for Jamyang at the Royal Bondi on May 18. While it’s a free event, you should RSVP online.

Pey Pey and Jëva Leave Me Spellbound With “Falling”

It’s pretty rare to hear music that sounds like nothing else. But that’s just what you get with “Falling,” the new collaborative single from Western Australian musicians Pey Pey and Jëva.

The pair met while studying at Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts and quickly formed the kind of friendship where no topic is off limits. Their dreamy single was inspired by their conversations about the big issues like hopelessness, uncertainty, and the pressure of what lies ahead.

I love the single version, but there’s also an amazing acoustic version on Spotify. “Falling” is the first single from Pey Pey’s debut album, the self, the you, the fall, set for release in early 2019. It’s also a teaser of what you’ll hear on Jëva’s debut mini album Typhoon, out later this year.
