Rising indie folk artist Cape Jay has unveiled his latest single, “Brazilia,” via Sound Foundry. The single is an invigorating folk rock track steeped in passion, nostalgia and introspection.
An infectious backbeat carries the song through spirited verses, exhilarating choruses with layered, reverb-soaked vocals, a stirring guitar solo and intricate moments in between. It is catchy and moving at the same time – a promising new offer.
Cape Jay shared: “I am really excited about releasing this single, I feel it has the potential to connect to an international audience on a much larger scale than my previous releases. This song is about the toxicity in some relationships and how there is this constant push and pull between two people. It represents the need to look after our hearts and to follow what serves us and to let go of what doesn’t.”
Hailing from the sandy shores of Cape Town, South Africa, Cape Jay began his journey into music during his school years when he played guitar in his school’s orchestra. Veering into self-teaching, he began to explore the world of songwriting, culminating in the release of his debut single “Golden Lady” in 2022.
Influenced by Bon Iver, RY X and Jack Symes, Cape Jay conjures up an intimate, soul-stirring sound reminiscent of The Kooks, The Lumineers and Mumford & Sons. Through his music, he reaches out to touch you with stories from a unique lens through which he sees the world.
