Love can often be a double-edged sword with the ability to both cut and heal. Emotional extremes come with falling for someone, something JEWLS explores in her latest single, "Serpentine Lovers" as she battles with surrendering to her love and losing herself along the way. The track takes us on a journey through the singer's feelings, showing how a connection with a lover can be intense yet imperfect. Facing this duality, JEWLS finds herself in a relationship where both her and her significant other are relying on one another but constantly struggling.
An interesting mix of genres, JEWLS combines art-pop, post-punk, and indie-pop to mold the ethereal soundscape in "Serpentine Lovers." The track is equal parts haunting and contemplative, featuring laid-back, eclectic instrumentals including otherworldly synths, meditative guitar riffs, and driving beats. JEWLS' dreamy vocals float airily over the song's lulling, tranquil backdrop, drawing listeners into her bittersweet narrative. A fresh find for pop enthusiasts, "Serpentine Lovers" is perfect for fans of icons like Florence + The Machine, Lana Del Rey, and Mutemath.
Making waves in the German music scene, JEWLS has been perfecting her alt-pop sound since the release of her 2023 debut album, There Is No Sunset. The artist prides herself on her unique songwriting, blending elements of experimental pop, electronica, and classic pop to craft an immersive atmosphere. JEWLS' profound lyrics often straddle the line between light and dark, creating a compelling honesty that many can relate to in her music. Already having an impressive catalog, JEWLS plans to add to it with the release of her next EP, We've Invented Speed, set to arrive in February 2025. Some of JEWLS' current popular releases include "The Heat," "All I Want," and "Ain't About Me."
