Jewel Owusu – happyforyou

Melbourne/Naarm singer and songwriter Jewel Owusu returns with an impressive new single today called ‘happyforyou’.

Showcasing the very best in emerging Australian pop artistry, the song looks at themes of envy and insecurity, especially in the age of social media. Jewel explains:

“The creative journey is tough, especially when the achievements of others flood your feeds on Instagram and TikTok, amplifying the sensation of falling behind.”

Jewel looks set to take on her biggest year yet. With praise from the likes of Apple Music, Colors Studio and Rolling Stone under her belt, it seems that mainstream success is already on its way for this hugely talented artist.

Jewel Owusu – b-day

Australian starlet Jewel Owusu is back today with a glistening slice of Y2K-inspired pop, called ‘b-day’.

The track looks at the pensive feelings that we sometimes experience on our birthdays – when we feel happy, but also somewhat melancholic at the same time.

“‘b-day’ is about feeling like you’re stuck in the same emotional and mental space as the previous year. I think with growing up you learn to be less hard on yourself, and I’m slowly learning that too.”

Jewel’s momentum has been on a steady rise in recent months, with the artist amassing more than 100k catalogue streams on Spotify so far. Owusu has also been supported by national media outlets like Triple J, as well as Acclaim, Vice and Purple Sneakers.

NAMESAKE – IN DIFFERENT CITIES (feat. Jewel Owusu)

NAMESAKE by Dylan Guy

Two of Australia’s brightest starlets have teamed up to create one of the season’s biggest bops.

‘IN DIFFERENT CITIES’ is the shimmering new collaboration between producer NAMESAKE and singer-songwriter Jewel Owusu.

Sonically, the track presents listeners with an energising mix of electronica and alternative pop, while the lyrics encourage us to make the most of life’s opportunities.

“‘IN DIFFERENT CITIES’ is about seizing opportunities that come your way and embracing change whilst recognising that some people may only pass through your life for a while and impermanence can still be a beautiful thing. I realised the ones who are meant to stay and those destined for me will always be there, while those meant for a different path will naturally find their way. It’s also about envisioning what life could’ve been like with those you’ve crossed paths with, but gracefully releasing those ‘what if’s’ and appreciating your current circumstances.”NAMESAKE

NAMESAKE’S music has been featured on prominent playlists such as Spotify’s New Music Friday, Indie Arrivals and Fresh Finds AU & NZ, while Owusu’s work has been praised by outlets like MTV Australia, Triple J and Complex.
