JAYO’s latest single ‘Diamonds’ is set to get you moving with it’s irresistible groove. Playful drums, heartwarming synths and ethereal backing vocals all merge together to create the perfect canvas. On top, melodic bars from both Kieron Boothe and JAYO inject the track with personality, enticing us in even further.
Discussing the release JAYO explains: “After watching the movie ‘Blood Diamond’, I was inspired to speak on the topic in my music. I addressed how Diamonds can often bestow and represent a different meaning when imported from Africa into Western culture. For some of us, they represent a high unattainable class. For others, they represent our hard work and labour, which can be ironically tied to the blood that was spilled to source the diamonds in Africa in the first place. For some, it’s sort of like reclaiming what their people are owed… It’s all down to interpretation.”
With his father being a prominent music journalist, JAYO’s love of the arts came at an early age – and they’re clear to hear in his latest offering. With each release comes a new milestone hit for JAYO, and we think this is only the start.
