“So What” by JEEN is the energetic, pop-leaning emotional centerpiece of her forthcoming LP, Gold Control, out on February 2nd. Can you stay another minute, 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. Its hazy dream-like longing for connection is relatable as JEEN’s softer vocals guide us along gently through the moment as if taking us by hand.
Co-produced with her long-time collaborator and Canadian indie musician Ian Blurton who has taken on the role of co-producer for JEEN’s last five albums, Gold Control is hazy, heady, hedonistic and hopeful.
The luminous 10-tracker is her fourth album this decade, gliding along the same trajectory as its predecessors while maintaining its own identity. Grunge. Garage. Psych-rock. Punk. Tinges of Shoegaze. Her influences continue to shine as she crafts them into her own vehicle with ease.
