Jonah Zed
recently dropped his latest single, and it's safe to say that "ijustwannafeelsm" is among his best tracks to date. Jonah's musical journey has been a gradual evolution over the past few years, and I've had the privilege of witnessing his growth as an artist. Jonah possesses a voice that's truly remarkable – it's hard to put into words, but it's incredibly easy to enjoy. I have heard people who don’t really listen to music much say how amazing his voice is and that’s something that really stuck with me. His music has this unique quality that just hits the right spot, and Jonah has been consistently delivering a captivating sad music aesthetic, especially in 2023. One of the standout moments for Jonah this year was his collaborative project with Patrick Cc and Kwe the Artist, but this latest release feels particularly special. It's as if Jonah is building toward something significant. In my mind, it could be either a full-fledged album or a major announcement. I believe it's high time for Jonah to deliver a complete body of work that showcases who he is as an artist and why he's worth listening to. For those familiar with Jonah, it's evident that he prioritizes music over superficial aspects like looks, aesthetics, or social media. He's a pure artist with a genuine intention of creating good music, and "ijustwannafeelsm" perfectly embodies this ethos. The track kicks off with Jonah's signature riverbed electric guitars and a catchy hook that's impossible to forget.
The combination of acoustic and electronic guitars creates an iconic melodic pattern that's both soothing and compelling. Jonah's vocals on this track are nothing short of immaculate. His delivery is infused with power and emotion that resonates with listeners. I particularly appreciate the mixing effects he uses on his vocals, which add a touch of nostalgia to the overall sound. The electronic guitar riff complements the song's retro vibes beautifully, making for a truly immersive experience. Accompanying the release is a music video that takes an unexpected turn. Knowing Jonah's artistic style, I never anticipated seeing him portray a character quite like the one in the video. However, it makes perfect sense in the context of the song and its lyrics, which revolve around feeling numb and desiring some form of sensation. Jonah's transformation into a zombie, both in appearance and demeanor, is a clever and fitting choice. The video's simplicity allows Jonah to shine, and the warm color palette and atmospheric setting elevate the song to a whole new level. Jonah Zed's "ijustwannafeelsm" is a testament to his growth as an artist and his commitment to creating music that resonates deeply with his audience. With this release, he's taken a step closer to defining his unique musical identity. I’m really excited to see where he goes next, I hope he has a project in the works.
