Jay Bird Up Here Press Release

Release Info: Song Name: Up Here Artist: Jay Bird Release Date: 1/26/18 Contact: jason@jaybirdmusic.com Description: Up Here continues Jay Bird’s genre-fusing exploration of electronic music production by blending the arrangement of an indie electronic track with a landscape of future bass sound design. The song is reminiscent of a Passion Pitt songwriting style that’s been amplified by the energy of a k?d or Jai Wolf production. The emotion of the track pays homage to Porter Robinson’s Worlds era by conversing in the ongoing musical conversation of moody, vulnerable compositions seated in a dance music format. It’s hard to ignore the timelessness evoked by these types of productions in the way they playfully tease out thoughts on human nature while delivering an uplifting and euphoric listening experience. The lyrics explore the idea of how escape through imagination and fantasy can pave the way to catharsis while at the same time can risk alienating an individual from society. While still seeking relevance in the Electronic Dance Music world, Jay Bird has favored beauty over hype in his production style, which you can hear in the subtleties of the melodic and instrumental arrangements. The mood of the music and the vulnerability of vocals carry together a sense of authenticity that is coming to mark the signature Jay Bird sound.
