Nottingham musician JERUB delivers one of the most anthemic indie-pop songs of the year yet.

‘Cold’ was inspired by the twists and turns that occur in relationships, and how these changes can have an impact on your heart.

“As I reflect on life as I’ve gotten older, I realise that every relationship goes through seasons. There is summer, where everything is warm and exciting, but winter, where it’s cold and difficult. On ‘Cold’, I wanted to write about the effects of changing friendships and how they can cause me to close up and put up walls even when I know I don’t want to be alone. As I grow, I am learning that no matter how cold our hearts may get, we’re all (myself included) still searching for love.”

Currently commanding more than 60k monthly Spotify listeners, JERUB’s momentum continues to grow with each release.

Tastemaker support for the artist has come from heavyweight outlets like BBC Radio 1, NOTION and Wonderland magazines.

As far as emerging UK-based talent goes, this is most certainly one artist to keep on your radars.

Rising Nottingham talent JERUB is back today with one of the most moving blends of indie and R&B that you will likely experience all week.

Deeply inspired by the realities of life, ‘Trade It All’ reflects on loss and grief with a powerfully emotive display of vulnerability.

“I wrote this song after speaking to a friend about his first Christmas without his dad, who had passed away the year before. He told me how strange it felt without him there and how he didn’t know how to behave, and I just felt so much empathy for him. Shortly after, I heard the news that Koby Bryant and his daughter had died in the helicopter crash, and remember feeling floored by such a deep tragedy.

I was also thinking about the last 18 months we’ve just had and all the people who have lost parents, grandparents, siblings and so on. So this song is really about the love you have for a loved one who may have passed away, and remembering that love and the impact that they had on you.”
