JÚWAN

JÚWAN strips back in his pensive acoustic pop-punk track, DEATHWISH!

There was no forgetting JÚWAN after his early 00s emo pop-punk hard hitter Ouch. He’s on visceral form once again with the release of his third single, DEATHWISH!

The acoustic and semi-orchestral starts with a mellifluously morose intro before JÚWAN builds the track into an evocatively resounding confessional piece that doesn’t move all too much from the gentle intro, but notably, JÚWAN can metaphorically move mountains when he’s going deep, and you’d be hard-pressed to find more depth than what is contained in DEATHWISH!

DEATHWISH! will be instantly relatable to anyone that knows how it feels when it seems that perpetual sleep is the only remedy from the negative cycle you can’t break yourself out of. That might all sound incredibly bleak, but there’s no understating how sweet the feeling of resonance is.

You can check out DEATHWISH! For yourselves by heading over to Spotify.

American social media star, JÚWAN, has released his snipingly riotous pop-punk debut single, OUCH

After going viral on TikTok, the American social media star, JÚWAN, has made his spicy alt-pop debut. His debut single, OUCH, is a confrontationally infectious take on pop-punk with sharp enough lyrics to cut right to the bone.

From tearing apart narcissists to shaming the people that think that questioning someone’s sexuality is a good use of their time, this riotously high-vibe track allows you to imagine what Bowling for Soup would sound like if their music got a potent shot of emotional intelligence.

Instrumentally, OUCH takes you right back to the golden age of 00s pop-punk and alt-rock with the crunchy guitars, sharp lyrical hooks and massive choruses, but JÚWAN is discernibly an artist made for this generation and their search for artists that do more than just superficially scratch at the surface. Seemingly, his magnetism shines through on the airwaves as much as his viral videos. He is definitely one to watch.

OUCH is now available to stream via Spotify.
