From Toronto, Canada, Jaz Valentino has dropped a single off his upcoming album with “Wild Weeds”. This is the lead single for the upcoming album called, Jaz’s Blues (Side A), set to come out April 14th of this year. “Wild Weeds” starts slow, and is a great constant build up with piano in the back as Jaz’s Voice guides you with his lyrics. A chilling song that continues to build, and gives you some goosebumps! Definitely a must add for any playlist. If this is your first song listening to Jaz, you should be excited about what he is gonna be dropping with this track on April 14th.
Written by Jaz Valentino and produced by Arcane Beats, ‘Wild Weeds’ is a captivating fusion offering, which brings elements of R&B, melodic rap, and indie pop, together with Jaz’s infectious melodies, catchy hooks and deeply personal songwriting, to deliver a life-affirming anthem for all the young people like himself that are battling through demons and trying to heal and rebuild their lives. Whether it’s trying to make it out through the trap or through crypto or through music, Jaz Valentino laments the peril paths in front of him and his peers to save their lives.
“this is one of my more introspective and motivational songs. It is a positive song that takes you on a reflective journey; a journey that inspires you to claim your light. This is my journey but it’s also the journey of many youths around the world that are battling demons and trying to make it out of the escape rooms of their circumstances. The song also looks at the destruction we’ve brought to the world, and instead of focusing on healing and rebuilding, we are often caught up with our own struggle, desire, and realities. We all need to take care of ourselves and our world better” -Jaz on “Wild Weeds”
Born and raised in Canada with Grenadian and Serbian heritage, Jaz Valentino’s music blurs the line between the classic warm tones of R&B and the dynamic of modern hip-hop, while still leaning on the special connection with rap and R&B music that he has had since a child. Notable for his evocative sounds, lush melodies, layered texture, captivating hook and introspective lyrics, Jaz Valentino as long been able to connect with listeners on a deeper level, using his ‘less is more’ philosophy to make sure his mixes are not overly crowded, and his songs feel spacious and lush, with plenty of room for his songwriting to stick out. The project has been three years in the making and sees Jaz Valentino bearing his soul on record about what he’s been going through trying to find his feet in the music industry in the middle of a global pandemic. He recounts numerous rejections, hardships, breakups, and loss on his journey of growth.
