Jaewon and the broken fairy tale sway and captivating croon of "Til' You Don't"

 

"cuz I won't care / 'till you don't baby / but you don't care much at all / no I won't care 'till you erase me / but you don't care much to call..."


The broken fairy tale sway and captivating croon of "Til' You Don't" by Chicago singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer Jaewon, wraps around me as I enjoy my bittersweet coffee this morning. The "entirely self recorded song about international infidelity and heartbreak" starts out easy and sparse in an almost 60's French pop way (kudos to the organ keys and Jaewon's sultry vocal countenance) but when the chorus hits it becomes a stirring romance waltz dipping into a lush pastiche of jazz, indie pop, tropical punk all smushed together into a dreamy 'song and dance' distillation featuring a mournful trumpet. 

The result is beautifully produced and (to me) feels like a 70's indie movie about two people who love / lust for each other but simply can't avoid hurting each other as well.  

Awwwwww. That is some goood coffee.

Jaewon is a genre bending singer/songwriter/producer who stays in his room too much and records all his music from home. Toeing the three way intersection between sappy, psychedelic, and heavy, Jaewon pulls from a plethora of influences to really just do whatever he feels like. This project was started during quarantine as an avenue to not have to adhere to any sound, style, or live constraints that had previously been a hindrance, but has blossomed into a passion project. Hailing from Chicago Illinois, Jaewon delivers a juxtaposition of energetic/happy/chill sounds and gut wrenching lyrics.
