Rising indie folk artist Cape Jay has just released his latest single, “Brazilia,” on October 18, 2024, via Sound Foundry. The track is already making waves, having been featured on tastemaker publications NOTION Magazine, The Indy Review and Music In Africa, along with being playlisted on Goodhope FM, a prominent South African radio station. Cape Jay first caught attention with his 2022 debut single, “Not Enough,” which received acclaim from Texx and the City. His follow-up single, “Southern Water,” climbed to #3 on 5FM’s Indie charts and gained additional airplay on Cape Talk. Despite a busy schedule due to his day job that takes him around the globe, Cape Jay is eager to connect with audiences through intimate live shows in the near future. Keep an eye on this emerging artist as he continues to share his music and forge connections!
Hailing from the sandy shores of Cape Town, South Africa, Cape Jay began his journey into music during his school years when he played guitar in his school’s orchestra. Veering into self-teaching, he began to explore the world of songwriting, culminating in the release of his debut single ‘Golden Lady’ in 2022.
The production of ‘Brazilia’ was handled by Greg Abrahams of Sound Foundry, while both the mixing and mastering for this release were managed by Mike Zietsman. Influenced by Bon Iver, RY X and Jack Symes, Cape Jay conjures up an intimate, soul-stirring sound reminiscent of The Kooks, The Lumineers and Mumford & Sons. Through his music, he reaches out to touch you with stories from a unique lens through which he sees the world.
‘Brazilia’ is an invigorating folk rock track steeped in passion, nostalgia and introspection. An infectious backbeat carries the song through spirited verses, exhilarating choruses with layered, reverb-soaked vocals, a stirring guitar solo and intricate moments in between. It is catchy and moving at the same time – a promising new offer from Cape Jay.
