jaye Explores Grief, Memory, and the Unknown on New Single ‘In Between’

The sudden death of his dog at just four years old inspired jaye to search for calm and to reflect on transcendence and memory as places where grief can be held after a final goodbye. This experience became the starting point for his new single, ‘In Between’, a song filled with cosmic imagery and metaphors that anyone can deeply relate to.
Driven by intense, lo-fi rock that recalls the great bands of the late ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s, such as Guns N’ Roses, as well as grunge and alternative giants like Nirvana and Pearl Jam, the track opens with its instruments at full force.
The artist’s distorted, guttural vocals, pushing raw texture to its very edge, heighten the drama of a piece born from deep within. The song becomes both a cathartic release and a profound reflection on the mystery of what happens after death and on that space where the living might still connect with those who are no longer here.
“‘In Between’ is about finding peace in the idea that nothing truly ends. It’s a song for anyone who’s ever lost someone or a pet. A reminder that love, energy, and memory exist beyond physical boundaries. We might be living in parallel worlds, but the connection never fades.”

This release marks a particularly honest phase in his career. A multi-award-winning Singaporean artist with numerous nominations, jaye has built a career that moves seamlessly between music, technology, and visual storytelling.
Since going viral on YouTube in 2019, his cinematic music videos and projects, such as the video game Tomorrow, have helped solidify a creative identity that defies traditional molds. This is further reinforced by his role as the founder of spaces like The Music Parlour and PARLOUR Amsterdam, created to foster collaboration between music, art, and culture.
The song arrives immediately after his single ‘I Don’t Believe in Karma’, another spiritually charged release. Together, the two tracks clearly outline the message the artist seeks to convey through his music.
‘In Between’ keeps the conversation around life after death open to reflection, embracing the infinite possibilities of the unknown, and accepting that perhaps nothing truly ends, that memory, love, and energy move through invisible realms.
