Emerging from London, pop songstress Jewelia has been on the rise since the release of her previous bubbly summer single ‘No Lover’. Signalling a clean break from her signature introspective and intimate songwriting style, the record shifted the balance in favour of a more upbeat and fierce outlook, aligned with modern pop sensibilities. ‘Second Best’ continues on that path, albeit navigating nostalgic tones.
Saying goodbye to a glorious year, Jewelia now returns with ‘The Comfort of Falling’, a record that perhaps seeks to draw an imaginary link with her past material. Built over a charming acoustic guitar, the song proceeds slow and steady, exploring the challenge of growing up and coming to terms with our regrets and past choices. Jewelia’s vocals feel soulful, mellow and controlled, delivering every line with warmth and kindness. It is a remarkable performance for a remarkable song.
Welcoming 2023, Jewelia is set for bigger things – the writing is on the wall, don’t you agree?
