‘Soft Spot’ is out and streaming across all platforms now.

‘Thing U Miss’ was a hypnotic and atmospheric ballad from the 2013 project †Pllajë†. With its dreamy instrumentation and intimate vocals, the song captured the ache of fleeting connection and self-deception in love. The curiously strange music video was self-directed by JMSN. “The reality of it is, there’s something more than just the surface. Our minds and perception makes things real. There is nothing wrong with this girl. She is beautiful and should stop hiding behind her fear of what people think of her and her body and her face and whatever else they don’t like because they’re unaware. The older woman knows this and wants to show her how beautiful and free she truly is. By cutting away all that is holding her back, the woman helps the girl realize this. ‘You know every little thing depends on trust. Each beginning is the start of the end for us.’ At the end the girl has shed away all that fear. Now she is left alone to trust herself and who she is.”

‘Soft Spot’ is out and streaming across all platforms now.

‘Love Myself’ hit like a hastily pecked 3AM text that may or may not get sent — pulled from the self-produced Pllajë EP. The visual was simple, JMSN wandering through an old-west desert and needling a solo through the cosmos, JMSN’s treatment is more trippy than tragic: “I always had a dream of playing guitar in space. Just never thought I was good enough.” Due to demand, he later released an extended version of the song on the 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition — streaming everywhere now.

‘Cruel Intentions’ is out and streaming across all platforms now.

Lifted from JMSN’s †Pllajë† EP, ‘The One’ was a hauntingly ethereal and cinematic glimpse into the overall sound of the project. The song explored wanting to find someone or something that could be the answer to all your problems, while questioning it — knowing deep down that you’re the only one who can truly solve them. The self-directed music video featured Winnie Harlow in her very first modeling gig, astride a horse. “This video was about the boundaries we make. We’re afraid of change. We’re afraid of anything different. Perception of how things should be, becomes our reality.”

‘Lights’ illuminated the tension between hope and despair, showcasing JMSN’s talent for weaving narratives into his music and offering listeners both solace and inspiration. Serving as an interlude on his debut, the song intricately tied the album and its story together.

‘Somewhere’ explored a longing for connection and the search for belonging. JMSN’s ethereal vocals and atmospheric instrumentation created a dreamlike soundscape that encouraged introspection. The song flowed seamlessly within Priscilla, reinforcing themes of emotional distance and vulnerability.

‘Let U Go’ confronted the challenging journey of moving on. With evocative lyrics and lush production, JMSN crafted a poignant atmosphere that will resonate with anyone who has experienced loss. The track was a fan favorite from Priscilla, offering a candid exploration of emotional vulnerability. Proving not afraid to push the envelope on visuals — the video was another bold statement and one of a three part series of videos shot and directed by David Yaroveski (who would later go on to direct movies such as ‘Hive’ and ‘Brightburn’). The video was taken down by YouTube quickly for its graphic nature but later re-uploaded when restrictions eased.

‘Do U Remember The Time’ was a standout track from JMSN’s 2012 debut album †Priscilla† and invited listeners on a nostalgic journey of a relationship that’s been unraveled. It explored lost innocence, regret, blame-shifting, and the realization that some things are predetermined or illusory.

‘Jameson’ delved into the emotional turmoil and self-destruction that often follow heartbreak. The track featured moody production and soulful vocals, highlighting JMSN’s vulnerability as he confronted addiction and its accompanying emptiness. The song’s video further explored these themes, symbolizing the internal struggle and desire for escape that permeated much of his debut album.

‘it is.’ was released 10 years ago today. The album to me was meant to talk about what everything is. It just ‘is’. Whether you do it or don’t. So why not do it? “You are a human being, so ‘be’.” Things will continue to change around me as well as within me. All I can do is try to be what I want to be more and more everyday. And continue to send out my communications through music. I’m grateful to everyone that has received and/or will receive the messages in the future. Thank you to all who have supported and will support in the future — love y’all.
