London-based Jay Prince joins forces with Grammy-winning singer Estelle and Oddisee for a new lush single titled "Solitude" and things couldn't sound any better. Born during Jay’s time spent in LA in the late 2010s, the song took shape after actor Daniel Kaluuya introduced him Jay Prince to Estelle and Oddisee, whose distinctive styles perfectly complement Jay’s intricate lyricism and masterful production.
The collaboration exudes a smooth, laid-back weekend vibe, blending elements of soul, R&B, and Latin rhythms. I find this a perfect example of the so-called timeless sound. This rich fusion creates the perfect backdrop for effortless bars and velvety vocals to shine. That's the song I had my first coffee with this morning and I feel I'm ready for a feel-good weekend ahead.
The single serves as an official announcement for Jay's upcoming album Shine, scheduled for release on May 16th, so I reckon we're yet to get a few more tasty sonic bites along the way. The album will be a heartfelt and inspiring collection of songs that celebrates the light within us all. As Jay Prince shares, it’s a journey of self-discovery, overcoming doubt, and embracing inner strength. A way to reflect on change, growth, deepened faith, and the beauty of finding and sharing your true radiance with the world.
Certainly, a journey we'll be paying close attention to.
