JGrrey is back and it looks as if they’ve got big things planned for the year ahead.
First out the gates is “Theirs13”, a thoughtful and romantic piece about gender identity and romance, and it looks as if the new track is setting the scene for an upcoming new project.
The track was written in the heady early days of a romance with their new partner, who happens to be non-binary. They hadn’t actually met at this point, but they connected instantly and the relationship, and all its intricacies, seems to have taught them both a lot about themselves.
One of JGrrey’s more sultry offerings, producer Ed Thomas’ simmering neo-soul instrumental is a pretty laid-back affair, but it still manages to capture the dizzying giddiness of those early days of a new romance. And for the video, which JGrrey co-directed with Joseph Wilson, they’ve doubled down on that theme with grainy shots of J and their new love chatting over Zoom mixed in with a few brief snippets from their first tentative IRL meet-ups.
On what the track means and the budding romance at the heart of it, JGrrey writes: “‘Theirs13’ is an ode to queerness, inspired by my non-binary partner, who uses they/them pronouns. At the time of writing the song, I hadn’t met my partner, but we had really expansive conversations around identity, family, love, and wanting to belong. It’s about struggling with identity, but finding out more about yourself in the process.”
