Jay-D never wants his sound to be pinpointed. Rather than taking a traditional rap route, Jay-D has crafted a unique sound that pays homage to RnB, electronic and pop. This signature sound can be found on his latest single “No Painkiller ft Greg Blackman.” The track features thrashing drums, pounding bass line and well-penned and smartly written bars. His music video showcases a gritty backdrop of a gym. Empowerment, community and self-love are all present within the video and provide the perfect accompaniment to the single. Speaking about the release, he shares: “The reason I made my song ‘No Painkiller’ is because I wanted to create a piece of music that represents the underdog. I wanted to tell a story of someone who is at their lowest point, someone who is downtrodden. I wanted to show that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that someone can climb out of the darkest pits of life. I wanted someone who could bring a soulful sound to the track, that’s why I picked Greg Blackman. His voice brings the positive and soulful feel that is needed to create the positive vibe I was looking for. The music video perfectly represents the message that I wanted to deliver with this song. The underdog story with the female boxers creates the feel of overcoming any negativity that comes your way. I also wanted a diverse cast in the video to show that anyone, from any walks of life, can be the underdog and become successful. I am very proud of the song/video and what it represents. I am a big supporter of mental health awareness and I hope that this single can help people during these uncertain times.” Jay-D has already received a warm welcome from his previous releases, and we can see this being elevated even more. Improving every release, we can’t wait to see Jay-D take this sound to the top.
