Jay Som Releases 7-Inch Today, Shares B-Side 'O.K., Meet Me Underwater'  Image

Jay Som - singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Melina Duterte - released her breakout debut album Everybody Works to critical acclaim last year. Today she releases a 7-inch entitled Pirouette, featuring two songs from the Everybody Works sessions that Melina felt were "out of place" on the album. Listen to the b-side "O.K., Meet Me Underwater" now and buy Pirouette

Jay Som on "O.K., Meet Me Underwater":"I wrote 'O.K., Meet Me Underwater' entirely around one of my favorite drum grooves - there's just something so funky and special about that beat. The general theme of the song is about the pain and acceptance of change within interpersonal relationships."
