Got the summer blues?
Then JayWood’s new track “SUN BABY” might be just the remedy. The Canadian musician and artist effortlessly blends alt-hip-hop and psychedelic pop, delivering a tune that eases your summertime sadness in the grooviest way possible.
“SUN BABY” is a world unto itself—built on soulful keys, ambient textures, and a whirly, psychedelic vibe.
JayWood’s forlorn, melancholic vocals heighten the dreamy mood, making the track feel like you’ve stepped into a reflective, emotional trip.
The chorus is groovy and layered with breathy vocals and off-key ad-libs that somehow… work?
At the 1:46 mark, the track takes a sharp left turn into a drum-and-bass-style section, reminiscent of Tyler, the Creator’s chaotic aesthetic—complete with subtle screams and fast-paced, muddled rap bars that feel intentionally unpolished.
The video visually matches the sonic world JayWood builds, reinforcing the aesthetic in a way that feels intentional and cohesive.
It’s clear that JayWood’s artistry matters to him as he’s able to really let loose in “SUN BABY” and again build a world that feels free of structure and staying in one genre box. It’s intentionally loose and really allows you to step into JayWood’s zone.
