J.MYSTERY’s new single “Change” is a bold, emotionally direct release that finds the Portuguese singer-songwriter stepping into bigger territory. Known for blending alternative rock textures with electronic flairs and cinematic touches, with the new single he pushes his sound even further, whilst still staying true to who he is. With the addition of a string quartet and sweeping arrangements, the result is a sound that feels simultaneously large, but deeply personal.
Lyrically “Change” delivers a clear message. Inspired by the current state of the world, the song looks at accountability and the weight of staying silent. You can hear the push and pull in the track and the constant battle of uneasiness yet hopefulness. We witness J.MYSTERY asking, “If you know you can make a difference, how do you live with staying quiet?”
This release feels like an artist taking his time and meaning every word. It’s focused, emotional and clear in what it wants to say. For J.MYSTERY, it feels like a defining moment and we’re excited to hear more.
