Emerging UK-based alt-pop artist and producer Jean shares her latest single/video, ‘Spring Breakers’.
Inspired by the 2012 Harmony Korine film Spring Breakers, Jean breaks free from boredom and dives into messy fun.
“I had a rough year where nothing felt fun anymore. Someone sent me this video about not giving up, and reconnecting with how I fell in love with creating in the first place. So I went back to the way I started – in bed, not chasing perfection, my crappy microphone, Urban Outfitters headphones and an attitude of ‘make sure you’re having fun.’
‘Spring Breakers’ came out of that. It’s bratty, dreamy, messy – kind of me in sonic form. I remember watching the film when I was younger and not getting it at all. Then I watched it again a few years later and thought – first of all God. James Franco is so hot. Then, I love their neon bikinis. I want a balaclava. I wish I was that brave, that mental. I sort of am.
It’s a song about detaching from whatever version of yourself felt stuck or bored, and slipping into a new one, even if it only lasts a week. It’s about crashing out and calling it healing.”
