London-based artist and performer Bradley Jago encapsulates the thrill of falling in love without defences on soulful yet bold offering “Killer Queen.”
Layering textured soul sonics with vibrant pop sensibilities, the rich track unfurls Jago’s ever-evolving artistry as it sways between a timeless yet modern musical style and an emotive lyrical approach. Led by lush vocals floating upon soaring groove-laden basslines, the anthemic number resonates with anyone who’s risked everything to surrender to love.
Offering us a glimpse of his upcoming EP, the track moves seamlessly between aching vulnerability and playful quirk as it explores the intensity of falling deeply in love. Driven by velvety instrumentals framed by neo-soul tradition and modern pop polish, the track is a commanding look at Jago’s genre-blending style as it delivers a powerful reflection of volatile love can be and the courage it takes to let someone all the way in.
Speaking of his musical style, Jago says,“I’ve grown up listening to soul music, but none of the songs spoke about queerness front and centre or in intricate detail, so I want to make songs I would want to listen to for all the queer people out there that love soul music but don’t hear themselves in it.”The track is accompanied striking visuals that elevate the warm yet balladic musicality as it hones in on Jago’s ability to craft relatable but cinematic sonic tales.
A compelling voice in contemporary soul who leads us into intricate stories of the queer experience, Bradley Jago’s sleek yet grounding neo-soul artistry is one that tugs at our hearts with each delicate but empowering note.
