“So long, so what?” JEEN sings. Released Wednesday, “So What” centers yearning: The alt-rock artist craves someone stable in her life, someone to spend time with, someone worth fighting for.
Can you stay another minute
“So What”
Sit me on the couch
Talk to me until I pass out
And if I had it my way
I’d lie there and that’s where we’d stay
Don’t wake me up
The track leans into more pop influence than her other work. Amid bright instrumentation, subtler layers of atmospheric shoegaze emerge. It’s equally contemplative as invigorating. JEEN’s clear, candid songwriting creates a fresh ambiance that has us hooked.
A dreamy lyric video combines a digital aesthetic with nostalgia, playing on screen like watching old home videos with the knowledge of the future.
“So What” comes off her upcoming LP, Gold Control, scheduled for February 2. Gold Control will also feature songs like “Hold My Head Up Higher” or “Making Me Mad.” JEEN knows how to balance the aggressive with angelic, curating a sound entirely her own and breaking the boundaries of genres.
If the rest of Gold Control is like these songs, we won’t be able to get enough. Get ready for more from JEEN by checking out her website, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok today.
