Jonathan Jaynes – Angels & Devils: An Ethereal EDM Dance of Duality

Posted on 7 November 2024

Jonathan Jaynes’ new single, ‘Angels & Devils (Club Version)‘, hits with big beats and a honed-to-the-nines production, enveloping listeners in a vulnerably immersive slice of etherealism. The melancholy embedded within the track is its strongest magnetic pull, drawing you into the 8-bit dreamy textures, while the rhythmic punctuations turn the earworm into an installation of danceable kinetic momentum.

‘Angels & Devils’ is a devilishly arcane invitation to lose yourself within a cinematic sonic sphere, reminding you that you are never alone in the moves you make even when it feels like the ache of disconnection is all-consuming. Even if you don’t subscribe to any particular faith, it is impossible not to find comfort in the lyrical mantras that light up the track, which is one of the most affecting exhibitions of Jaynes’ ‘happysad’ signature sound that lays catchy melodies over melancholic confessions.

This club version of ‘Angels & Devils’, originally a sad self-destructive ballad about leaving a relationship to save oneself from getting hurt, marks a new direction in his career, pursuing an EDM legacy that won’t easily be lost to history.

The Lows And Highs: Swedish singer Jonathan Jaynes recovers after heartbreak on ‘Losing My Faith’

Posted on 15 May 2021

As his cracked heart beats a bit slower from being let down badly, Jonathan Jaynes expresses his pain of a relationship that went array on ‘Losing My Faith‘.

Jonathan Jaynes is a passionate indie dream-pop/tropical happy-sad singer-songwriter and music producer from the underrated Malmö, Sweden. He makes that deep type of dreamy experience — which opens your eyes to different parts of relationships — and helps to express the emotions that you are feeling.

”I wanted to shed a light on destructive relationships and how they can affect you. It starts out as beautiful and whimsical, but after a while it gets dark and broken. It’s hard to love, but if you look for the right kind you’ll find it.” – Jonathan Jaynes

Influenced by Kygo, Sia and Zak Abel, he is one of those quality young artists that you can’t help but like, as the sound is so peaceful and full of quality buzzing from each note. He sings with such grit and love, you can hear that this song is extremely person, as he feels like he needed an outlet to figure out what really happened.

‘Losing My Faith‘ from Swedish singer-songwriter Jonathan Jaynes, shows us a man who is really down after being so high in the sky. Sometimes you wonder what you did wrong for a relationship to end. The truth is, the whole time it was a lesson to make you stronger, for when you meet your true love down the winding road of the unexpected.
