Fresh off the success of his critically acclaimed album Sinister Sister, Jaylious continues to
push boundaries with his genre-blending artistry. Based in Orange County, California, this
Asian American DJ has captivated listeners with his signature fusion of alternative pop and
electronic dance music. Known for his dark, cinematic, and emotionally charged
storytelling, Jaylious builds on the momentum of Sinister Sister with his latest single, “It’s
Tough, I Know.” This track not only showcases his growth as an artist but also aligns with
the album’s deeply personal and evocative themes, offering listeners a poignant new
chapter in his musical journey
His latest single, “It’s Tough, I Know,” is a powerful testament to his ability to channel raw
emotion into art. This track hits on a personal level as well. “It’s Tough, I Know” is about the
pain of losing a beloved dog to cancer and the lack of support from family during a difficult
time. Losing a pet is just like losing a best friend and a companion, so it is not easy when
you have to deal with that sort of emotional pain on your own! However, Jaylious set out to
express himself through music, not only using his art to cope, but also connecting with
others and providing a comforting message to listeners who might have experienced the
same situation. Through its mix of dark jazz tones and energetic pop-rap beats, the song
might come from grief, but there’s also a lot of energy on tap, signaling a hopeful
motivation to move forward but always remember the good times and keep them close to
the heart. The song immediately kicks off with a shuffle style rhythm, with a huge electronic
punch, especially when it comes to the fat bass drum and the crisp clap/snare that cuts
through the mix. The female vocals are very layered and melodic, providing a perfect
context for the song’s emotion, while still retaining a very energetic sound. Jaylious proves
that even in moments of pain, music can be a source of connection and strength. “It’s
Tough, I Know” invites listeners to reflect on their own struggles while finding hope in
shared experiences.
Don’t miss out on this deeply personal and beautifully crafted track, now streaming on all
major digital platforms. Fans of artists like Dua Lipa, Charli XCX, and others with a knack
for blending emotion and energy will feel right at home with Jaylious’ sound.
