Jalle – Downers (feat. Issey Cross)

Nottingham’s rising alt star Jalle releases his brand new single ‘Downers’, featuring the talents of left-pop newcomer Issey Cross.

Produced with Josef Page (Aziya, Millie Turner), the track carries a central message that rings true to many young people battling with anxieties in the age of the internet.

“My school life definitely had an influence on this song for me, particularly how I felt during my school years. I always hated school and never really felt like I fit in. I always felt like an outsider and was constantly changing myself to try and fit in. Issey and I really connected over this and had similar experiences so ‘Downers’ was created.” – Jalle

“Jalle and I wrote this song in lockdown on zoom. It was the first time we’d met but we got on so well and just wrote a really honest song together about our insecurities and how we would change them if we could!!” – Issey Cross

Jalle – Hate Me

Originally featured on Alfitude last year (garnering a Track of the Week accolade with his first song), Nottingham-based rapper and songwriter Jalle releases his debut with Warner Music. ‘Hate Me’ sees Jalle talk about the breakdown of his last relationship in vivid colour:

“’Hate Me’ is about my last relationship. It came to a very sour end ; arguments, nearly getting back together, the word hate being thrown around. It’s about having to deal with all those repercussions. Really, we weren’t ready for love so we had to cut each other out.”
