Concert Review: Jay Som Makes Me Happy At Elsewhere
I really like Jay Som because I need to calm down. (LOL!) It is a generational gift, from the women in family, to create hurricanes out of half a cup of water. Forget mountains out mole hills! We build tsunamis out of dater bottles, but that “gift” does not always come from being dramatic as much as tired. You learn more about yourself through your failures then your successes, and Jay Som makes the music for those that don’t know how to keep learning even if they keep failing.
JAY SOM LITERALLY HAS A SONG CALLED TENDERNESS! That is it. That is the statement, and it says it all about her. She is mellow, twinged with an intelligent but friendly wit, and completely open, even at her shyest. I know I say such compliments a lot about the rising, female singers coming up in the industry, but I say it because personality feels like a vibe. Hence, it is curious that, as a musical taste, more people are choosing quiet, calm, kind, smart, and thoughtful musics/ singers in a world that feels at its noisiest. Music is not only about reflecting the world we are in but also the world we want, and Jay Som is who we want.
Jay Som – Tenderness [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
Som made her crowd feel like a pack incense sticks dying to be lit. It was as if she was a giant hand: floating out thoughts around until the room smelled like frankincense. Do not get me wrong. It is not like we all ended up singing “Kumbaya My Lord, Kumbaya” and then took a mass nap. The show was fun and energetic; interspersed with Som’s interpersonal self-awareness. She feels and acts like thinking a person; someone that would ACTUALLY SAY EXCUSE ME if they bumped into you. #tenderness You may laugh at such a comment or wonder how such an idea/ frequency can come from a person. Yet, that is why, in some ways, the previous paragraph/ Jay Som’s performance alludes to intuition.
Jay Som – Superbike [OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO]
Now more than ever, music connections feel intuitive: my heart meets your heart or the “time and space” I am living in connects to yours. Of course, I am not say that music was never such a way or that Jay Som is the first artist to write a track about a “Superbike” with an open heart. Yet, there seems to be an urgency in people, more than ever to feel connected and better, and Jay Som sees that urgency and responds to it with a voice supple and soft enough to make “nice” feel perfect.
