JEM - LOST
Music, Original MixCommentFollowing an enchanting debut in November 2021 with his genesis single “Secrets,” alternative crooner and full-circle artist Jem returns with another mystifying new single. A haunting, piano-guided single “Lost” bears witness to Jem’s deeply-emotional drawl. A barebones ballad with simple, heart-rendering melodies and damning lyrical themes, “Lost” is painfully immersive. Despite its solemn tone, “Lost” is a magnificent outline of sound and spirit. A carefully constructed lullaby philosophically designed to prompt reflective thinking, “Lost” is an aptly-titled composition that further solidifies Jem’s place in modern alternative music. Listen to this heartbreaking triumph today.
JEM - SECRETS

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.
