Jorge Wilson’s new EP, JPW, is a clear introduction to what he’s building as a solo artist. Hailing from the UK, the Stoke-on-Trent musician keeps things simple, leaning into a mix of indie pop and nostalgic textures. There are shades of Mac DeMarco, Steve Lacy, and The 1975 in the background, but the focus stays on his own voice and perspective.
The EP’s themes are universal, covering love, distance, and the hard-won acceptance that follows. Wilson’s approach remains subtle. Early tracks feel tentative, with production choices that leave edges intentionally unpolished. As the EP progresses, the sound warms and expands, signaling both emotional and musical confidence.
What gives JPW its impact is the intention behind it. “I like to think people will be taken on a journey of me developing my craft by each track,” Wilson notes, and you hear that evolution. The result is an EP that doesn’t just introduce his sound, but it invites us into the process of his becoming.
