Biography

 

Jax Jones

When Duke Dumont topped the UK charts with his single “I Got U” in 2014, many listeners may have assumed that featured artist Jax Jones was the singer. In fact, Jones (born Timucin Aluo in 1987) was a cowriter and producer on the song, whose No. 1 position marked his auspicious debut. Raised in London by a Turkish father, a Malaysian mother and a Nigerian stepfather, Jones grew up on a mix of American hip-hop, UK dance and African music, which might help to explain the mix of styles that swirls through his music: His youthful fondness for Prince shows through in funk-infused cuts like 2015’s “Ocean Drive”, while Afro-Caribbean accents bubble up in 2018’s “Ring Ring,” a lilting tropical-house jam. Though his beats generally follow the punchy cadence of deep-diving future house, he brings a hip-hop producer’s collage sensibility to the mixing desk: Many of his productions slyly interpolate other songs. “You Don’t Know Me”, from 2017, is built around the slinky hook of M.A.N.D.Y. and Booka Shade’s 2005 anthem “Body Language”, while “I Got U” contains a choice bit of Whitney Houston’s “My Love Is Your Love”. Whether on his own productions or his remixes for Ellie Goulding, Charlie XCX and Missy Elliott, Jones’ habitual blend of pop polish and house groove is unmistakable. In conversation with Beats 1’s Julie Adenuga, he spoke about his unique relationship to dance music. “I just thought I'd try it,” he said. “House is a collage of everything the creator is. If you love hip-hop, you can chuck that in there. If you love rock, you can chuck that in there too. It took a long time, but now it makes a lot of sense. It’s sample-based and also musical, so it's a very natural fit. Life is beautiful like that. They say you have to, like, get rid of yourself to go to the next level. And I think that’s what happened.” - iTunes

 

Au/Ra

Born in Ibiza and raised in Antigua, singer/songwriter Au/Ra crafts alternative pop with electronic influences inspired by her multicultural upbringing. Influenced by artists like Lana Del Rey, Kraftwerk, the Neighbourhood, and Arctic Monkeys, the young Jamie Lou Stenzel was raised by music-loving parents (her father is a producer in the electronic/trance scene) and decided to pursue music at the age of ten. Under the name Jamie Lou, she uploaded her covers of songs by Birdy, P!nk, Shakira, Rihanna, and more. Later, she adopted the Au/Ra moniker, taking inspiration from a character in her self-penned Lord of the Rings fan fiction. Her first single, "Concrete Jungle," bore a striking resemblance to Lorde, a "Royals 2.0" for 2016. She followed with "Outsiders," an outcast anthem that interpolated Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" into its lyrics. Her third single, "Kicks," was another big beat anthem with vocals leaning in the direction of Halsey. These three tracks would find their way onto her debut EP, Outsiders, which arrived in 2017. In 2019 Au/Ra issued the ethereal electro-pop single "Dance in the Dark." - iTunes

I don't even get why they keep skipping it?

Edited by IdentFan101

This definitely isn't taking off in the way they hoped for! I don't think it adds anything new to what Jax or Au/Ra has done before so it's a bit reductive? Breathe and Panic Room are the obvious two better hits. I do wonder if this would be doing better if pubs and clubs were open currently as it sounds perfect for pre-drinks imo.
This has really grown on me actually! Jax rarely disappoints tbh.
Fun fact: i miss u has matched the #25 peak of Jason Derulo's Breathing, which has the same "I only miss you when..." lyric :magic:
I do think this might re-peak in the new year once the Xmas songs have disappeared! I reckon it'll sneak a top 20 peak.

Biography

 

Born, Chris Soriano, CJ is a Staten Island Native, but with a Puerto Rican background who began his musical career in 2017 at the age of 20 years old. His musical influences include hip hop royalty such as Wu Tang Clan, Jay Z, 50 Cent and Pop Smoke. Raised on the sidelines of the music business, his explosive delivery, intertwined with floe-tic bars, have always been an ear catcher to fans as well as industry executives.

On August 20, 2020, CJ released “WHOOPTY" his critically acclaimed single independently with Equity distribution, which gained over 1 million views on YouTube and million on Spotify after a month of its debut. That along with over 4m fan Tik Tok videos have driven the awareness of CJ’s debut. Song delivery mixed with his explosive music video, CJ is definitely one to watch and not be taken lightly. - Spotify

It's chart law that Jax Jones gets a new top 10 single in the week after Xmas clearout!

Jesus! NO! :puke2:

Were Play and All Day and Night new year peaks? I know This Is Real was for 2020.

 

Also this CJ song is just a bit of noise to these ears.

This seems like a strange track to take off? A lot of these types of song manage a solitary week in the 30s region then disappear forever.

 

With no evidence, I'm gonna blame TikTok.
