OUT TODAY: jem wax shares empowering single, ‘SPIDERRR’

JEM WAX‘s latest offering, ‘SPIDERRR’, was born from a recording session the London-based singer/producer had with multi-instrumentalist Natsuma and top-liner Emma Tea. During a lengthy and heartfelt session, the trio shared experiences of male privilege, power dynamics and personal growth.

Their shared experiences resulted in an audacious genre-bending cut with jem’s signature sung-spoken style firmly instilling strength, resilience and liberation, over a deep-guelling bass, which ran rampant through the production, with playful elements of jazz and hip-hop.

Commenting on the powerful track, who she produced with multi-instrumentalist Natsuma, jem said: “This song symbolises the power we have over our pasts. We can’t change what happened, but we can process how it affected us and make sure we don’t repeat mistakes. I want people to feel empowered, to have fun, and to dust off a few cobwebs after listening to the track. To me, ‘SPIDERRR’ is like Imagine Dragons meets auto-tune, meets UK Rap, meets Soul.’ 

A BBC Introducing favourite, jem’s dynamic vocals and lyricism, which radiates attitude and authenticity, have catapulted in the UK live music scene, earning her a sold-out headline show at Camden Chapel, plus a string of notable performances at The Strongroom, Piano Smithfield, and more recently, Servant Jazz Quarters.

As jem wax continues to be unapologetically herself, by blending elements of jazz, rap and pop to create a bold, genre-defying sound, she’s definitely the one to watch in 2025.

‘SPIDERRR’ is out today (13th February) via various music platforms. Why not listen below…

Song of the Day: Commuter’s Commitment/Mundane Mondays – Love, Builder Of Worlds

In response to a collective groan that could be heard amongst commuters as they return to a place of grind after a carefree weekend, multidisciplinary artist LOVE, BUILDER OF WORLDS has shared a soothing remedy, forming the single ‘Commuter’s Commitment/Mundane Mondays’, available now across various music platforms.

‘Commuter’s Commitment/Mundane Mondays’ offers itself as a reprieve from the cacophony of chaos that is the commute, and serves the listener as a friendly accompaniment of comfort on those seemingly endless mundane Mondays and the days that follow.

The lo-fi jazz instrumental is inspired by the infamous London commute the anti-binary artist grew up deeply entrenched in; acutely aware of its adornments of delays, overcrowded platforms, stuffy and sometimes sweltering heat, and of course its ear piercing symphony of screeches.

Now residing in Ireland’s vibrant capital Dublin, Love, Builder Of Worlds also prides the composition as an anti-capitalist song for the worker. Briefly interrupted by a voice, the single pull us out of the wistful daze and remind us that the shareholders of the corporations we toil for matter much more than our desperate need for work/life balance.

‘Commuter’s Commitment/Mundane Mondays’ follows Love Builder Of World’s debut single, punk rock anthem ‘Scared For The Climate’, which sits at the opposite end of the musical spectrum. While ‘Scared For The Climate’ was filled with angst and furore, ‘Commuter’s Commitment/Mundane Mondays’ conveys the weight of its sentiments wordlessly, and the listener is invited to find a soft landing against the frenzied familiar.

An avid campaigner for the voiceless Love, Builder of Worlds, is part of Olólúfè Collective, which offers a safe space for marginalised people to create, collaborate and practice collectivism. With this platform, he is able to express himself freely and unapologetically, through music – whether its punk rock, neo-funk, disco, blues, afrobeats, alté, indie-electro pop and garage music.

With two contrasting singles – a raucous anthem and a tranquil instrumental – under his musical belt, Love, Builder Of Worlds displays a natural aptitude to utilise multiple music styles to demonstrate the breadth of self-expression and concerns of the world’s biggest issues.

‘Commuter’s Commitment/Mundane Mondays’ was released on 25th November 2024 on various music platforms.
