Jay Som has released another track from her sophomore album.
Titled Tenderness, the dreamy cut arrives with a music video directed by Chicago film collective Weird Life and follows the previously shared Superbike in previewing 'Anak Ko', due out on August 23.
Melina Duterte, who performs as Jay Som, described it as a, "feel-good, funky, kind of sexy song" that addresses "the curse of social media" affecting relationships.
"That’s definitely about scrolling on your phone and seeing a person and it just haunts you, you can’t escape it," she continued. "I have a weird relationship to social media and how people perceive me—as this person that has a platform, as a solo artist, and this marginalized person. That was really getting to me. I wanted to express those emotions, but I felt stifled. I feel like a lot of the themes of the songs stemmed from bottled up emotions, frustration with yourself, and acceptance."
The follow up to 2017's 'Everybody Works' boasts collaborations with Vagabon, Justus Proffit, Chastity Belt’s Annie Truscott, and Boy Scout's Taylor Vick, among others.
