Colorado Springs’ rising star taps into hypnotic trap R&B as he unpacks a hazy connection with “Emily.”

Jaedawn is repping Colorado Springs, Colorado, with a distinct voice and a rare versatility. One of the most striking things about him as an artist is his ability to bounce between genres without ever sounding out of place. Whether he’s leaning into R&B or tapping into hip-hop, he brings a natural fluidity that makes every release feel intentional.

After dropping Dayfader last year, Jaedawn is officially back with a new single titled “Emily Memories.”

“Emily Memories” is an intriguing song title on its own — and the story behind it is even more compelling. Throughout the track, Jaedawn reflects on the bond he shares with someone named Emily, someone he clearly enjoys getting high with. Or, who knows, maybe Emily is the weed. The songwriting cleverly leaves that possibility open, adding a unique layer to the listening experience.

The production sets the tone immediately. A smooth, hypnotic trap beat anchors the song, balancing bounce with gentle, almost dreamy elements. The sonic foundation gives Jaedawn all the space he needs to flex the full range of his artistry. He leans into melodies, fires off feverish flows, and even pulls off some impressive harmonizing. At points, his vocal delivery gets a little slurry, which only heightens the track’s intoxicating energy.

Overall, “Emily Memories” thrives on mood. It’s atmospheric, vibey, and incredibly replayable — the kind of track you can throw on late at night and get lost in.
