Rating: 5 out of 5.
A hypnotic R&B/soul gem that instantly immerses you into its vivid world of wonder.
Australian artist JVLY (aka Kayle Butler) continues to captivate with his signature fusion of chilled electro, R&B, and soul, drawing comparisons to Still Woozy, Rhye, and Charlotte Day Wilson. Known for standout tracks like “LOCUM,” “SOUTH,” “haze,” and “here,” JVLY is showing no signs of slowing down. His latest release, “DROWNING IN MY ROOM,” is a mesmerizing glimpse into his upcoming EP, SUNDER.
Built on a foundation of groovy drum and bass paired with ethereal guitar melodies, “DROWNING IN MY ROOM” immerses listeners in a dreamlike atmosphere of melancholy and introspection. The track’s evocative lyrics—“I’m looking at a sea of velvet light, I’m sinking in the sky but I’m inside, and nothing is changing”—paint a vivid picture of isolation and self-reflection, touching on the tendency to lose ourselves in personal struggles rather than seeing the bigger picture.
With soulful vocals, nostalgic undertones, and an entrancing sonic landscape, JVLY delivers a hypnotic R&B/soul masterpiece that pulls you in from the first note. Press play and let “DROWNING IN MY ROOM” wash over you.
