Alex Jayne - 'Messy'
Alex Jayne releases a mesmeric slice of brooding alternative pop on current single, ‘Messy’.
Introducing the track with hazy disjunt synth, Alex Jayne straps her listener in for a hypnotic and moody journey through intoxicating textures and frank storytelling. Jayne’s solemn, alluring vocal hauntingly examines the repercussions of going on all in on something that begins to break down.
Through its dreamy, surreal digitalised textures, and atmospheric vocal, Jayne allows her listener to ethereally step outside of themselves alongside her and the floating elements of her production, but keeps them grounded with her crisp beats, and purposeful, bass heavy driving rhythms.
”Messy is about losing control ... being connected to something that’s changing and not knowing whether you should be scared of it, or go with it”.
This is a sensory, affecting and thrilling cut of sophisticated alternative pop where you feel the danger, distaste and discontent with every fibre of your being.
