UPDATE: Jay Som has just released her latest single, “Cards On The Table,” on the heels of announcing her first album in six years, Belong, set to drop on October 10, 2023. Melina Duterte, the artist behind Jay Som, describes this new track as her personal favorite from the album, highlighting the complexities of friendships and the painful conflicts that can arise when misunderstandings occur.
In a statement, Jay Som emphasizes the universal nature of these experiences:
“It feels like a never-ending cycle of people walking in and out of your life, but it ultimately leads to self-discovery and growth.”
This emotional resonance is likely to connect with listeners, offering a candid look at the intricacies of platonic relationships.
“Cards On The Table” features background vocals from Lexi Vega of Mini Trees, enhancing the rhythmic texture of the song. The album Belong will also showcase collaborations with renowned artists such as Hayley Williams from Paramore and Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World, further elevating its anticipation.
