Jay Ledger’s new single, ‘I Don’t Get It’, shares a few pages from Frank Ocean’s songbook, but there’s no denying that the independent up-and-coming artist holds a heavy arsenal of authenticity within his sonic signature. The track is sensually sublime to the point of ethereal transcendence; his hypnotic command over texture and timing ensures it is all too easy to meditate on his outpour of vulnerable lyricism. Intimacy resounds through every progression in this broken-hearted soulful account of dejection, which resonates with a gorgeous sense of raw honesty.
With over 5,000 monthly listeners behind him, Jay Ledger is well on his way to becoming a revered RnB icon and placed on a pedestal with his influences, Chris Brown and Tory Lanez.
He has moved from strength to seductive strength since his 2022 debut single, ‘Just Wanna Love You’; in 2025, it is impossible not to sink into the warm, melancholic waves of his sonic craftsmanship. For fans of luxuriant tones and unguarded confessions, ‘I Don’t Get It’ is a blissful reminder of how RnB can be a conduit for private admissions and public compassion.
Stream I don’t get it with the B-side single, Hit my phone, on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify.
