Moving and mystical, singer-songwriter Jem’s new single “Secrets” is a world-inspired ballad with a haunting grand design in mind. Barebones Middle Eastern-inspired guitar riffs meet his esoteric voice with grit and mystery. Brushed with strokes of nostalgic alternative-rock and downtempo psychedelia, “Secrets” is all at once rousing, contemplative, and explorative to boot. A reflection of his heritage, “Secrets” is an accessible rendering of Jem’s culture that sticks with you long after its final note.
