Making waves with his new single, JVLY’s "Drowning in My Room" is a contemplative plunge into self-reflection and the complexities of personal struggle. With this track, the Australian artist invites listeners to reflect, giving them a glimpse into the vivid world he's building with his upcoming EP Sunder. The song's concept, centered around the irony of self-pity and the tempting escape of shifting blame, unfolds through rich vocals and a compelling instrumental backdrop. JVLY perfectly captures this paradox with heavier lyrical themes and lighter instrumentals.
"Drowning in My Room" features soulful vocals and a relaxed groovy bassline with underwater-like guitar tones creating a dreamy, almost otherworldly atmosphere. As JVLY describes it, "As soon as I had those chords on the juno and that groove with the bass and drums, and that kind of underwater sounding guitar line, I knew this track was the one to speak to that part of the story." "Drowning in My Room" not only speaks to those moments when we're submerged in our own emotions but also challenges us to confront them. It’s a powerful mix of introspection and groove that allows audiences to get lost in the music while also questioning the traps of avoiding personal ownership.
With an ever-growing fanbase and EP coming out soon, "Drowning in My Room" is an exciting snippet into what's to come from JVLY. With his range in exploring different themes and ability to make music that connects with people, it's evident why he is one of the best up-and-coming artists.
