Liverpool-born, London-based artist Jetta delivers a sonic and visual diary with her self-crafted debut album ‘relax, the house is on fire’. Taking us deep into her world of controlled chaos, showcasing her unparalleled artistic prowess, as she continues to push boundaries, delivering a genre-bending collection of songs with unfiltered self-expression.
The ironically titled ‘relax, the house is on fire’ depicts a comical contradiction of telling yourself everything is ok, even though you know it’s not. Delivering an oasis in a sea of chaos, the album will make you laugh and cry at the same time. Offering a reminder to hang on in there, the incredibly relatable album is a reminder to keep smiling and have fun while you watch things fall apart around you.
Jetta confesses, “This album is an accurate representation of me dealing with not dealing with life; a coping mechanism for not coping, if you will. You could call it denial or acceptance, depends how you choose to look at it really”.
The closing song, aptly named, “call me when it’s over” recites a cathartic falling in and out of love. The stunning track features Jetta’s rich, echoing vocals, floating atop her minimalist instrumentation, evoking a celestial and spine-tingling atmosphere.
Each song from the album is accompanied by a self-shot music video; a series of performative pieces further bringing her vision to life.
With over 1.6 billion global streams to her name, to say that Jetta is a DIY artist with laser-sharp vision is a bit of an understatement. The artist writes and produces all her music from her bedroom studio, shoots her own music videos, and even manages herself – and at the same time has gone gold in America.
Her 90’s leaning throwback single “Livin” was BBC Radio 1 Introducing ‘Track Of The Week,’ BBC 1Xtra ‘Track Of The Week’ and also landed on BBC Radio 6’s A-List playlist. She’s graced the covers of several music magazines and scored several notable press features.
