Lincoln Jesser: “I love the idea of music being valued like fine art”

Los Angeles songwriter/producer releases his debut music NFT this week. It’s been almost 12 years since I first wrote about Lincoln Jesser on my Arjan Writes Music Blog. Back in 2011, Jesser still went by his producer moniker Pace while attending USC and making beats in his dorm room. Following his first set of releases and remixes, the multitalented Jesser…

Troye Sivan serves up a delicious slice of BGE (Big Gay Energy) with his brand-new singe, “Rush.”

Troye Sivan serves up a delicious slice of BGE (Big Gay Energy) with his brand-new singe, “Rush.” After weeks of teasing us on TikTok, the moment has finally arrived, and it was well worth the anticipation. Sivan masterfully taps into a vibrant facet of Gen Z gay culture, bringing it to life with a house-infused beat, brooding bassline, and a dash of macho choir magic. It’s like we’ve time-traveled to the glory days of disco, immersing ourselves in the euphoric dancefloor frenzy and high-energy revelry that defined the era. My only complaint (and I’m sure others will agree) is that it’s a minute too short. Nevertheless, “Rush” stands unequivocally as a quintessential summer anthem, beckoning us to unleash our inhibitions, hit the dance floor, and wholeheartedly embrace the art of living our best lives

One of the most fulfilling aspects of my two decades in the music industry has been witnessing gifted newcomers blossom and hone their craft. Chace is one such artist who has caught my attention since 2015. Initially focusing on DJing and producing electronic dance music (EDM), he eventually gained the confidence to showcase his vocal abilities. His latest single, titled “Don’t Get My Hopes Up” is an exceptional example of innovative pop, featuring his own soulful vocals that are expertly produced.

With her new single “Miss Belladonna,” Slayyyter serves up another irresistible slice of synth-fueled 80s inspired pop. Set against pulsating synths and a driving beat, Slayyyter spins a dramatic tale of a intoxicating yet toxic relationship. The adrenaline-fueled chorus shows Slayyyter’s talent for huge pop hooks, cementing her place alongside contemporaries like Charli XCX and Kim Petras. With its nostalgic sonics and ambitious melodrama, “Miss Belladonna” proves Slayyyter is ready to SLAY the mainstream pop landscape.

Arjan Writes: Joy Oladokun “Changes”

This is so gorgeous! Joy Oladokun’s new single “Changes” is just what the world needs right now. It’s a comforting song about rolling with life’s punches and accepting change. “People yelling and the water’s rising. It’s easy to feel kinda anxious” she beautifully sings. “Even when I’m tired and low there is gold in this river that is carrying me home.” Produced and co-written by Dan Wilson (Adele, Celine Dion, Taylor Swift), “Changes” provides a welcome and uplifting message that soothes the soul. I adore this song and the world needs more of this. Thank you, Joy!
