The EP includes previously released singles “Safe” and “Smartphone Make Me Dumb” along with today’s “I WANNA MOVE TO BROOKLYN” in which JP romanticizes his move to the city he now calls home. On that, JP Saxe shares, “Sometimes the life you fantasize about can be in direct conflict with the life others fantasize about you sharing with them. Sometimes that life is in Brooklyn pretending to be Patti Smith drinking too many coffees in too many bookstore cafes.”
The two-part album traces the GRAMMY®-nominated singer-songwriter’s journey through a series of personal revelations. After writing and recording the album and feeling like there were two distinct themes to the songs, Saxe decided to present the album in two parts – he describes the decision as “90% for creative reasons and 10% because of the pragmatism of navigating people’s increasingly nonexistent attention spans. I love my music so much and even l have trouble listening to 14 in a row. So how could I expect someone else to?” Each part has a unique sonic and thematic identity that gives one message when listened to on its own or as a complete project.”
Saxe’s last new release was 2023’s A Gray Area album, which was largely produced by Malay and included the grooving, Mayer-featuring “I Don’t Miss You,” plus collaborations with the likes of five-time Latin-GRAMMY®-winning Colombian musician Camilo, folk-pop trio Tiny Habits, and singer-songwriter Lizzy McAlpine. The LP garnered praise from Billboard, People, Forbes, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, and more. By openly exploring his deepest anxieties and emotions, Saxe shared what was then his most relatable set of songs to date.
