Faroese Pop-Soul Sensation jazzygold Announces Debut EP ‘it’s been a while’
Emerging artist jazzygold is set to make waves with her highly anticipated debut EP, it’s been a while, releasing on February 14th via Tutl Records. This six-track collection is an intimate and powerful exploration of identity, resilience, and self-discovery, capturing jazzygold’s journey in raw, heartfelt lyrics and immersive soundscapes.
Each song on it’s been a while tells a unique story, from the bittersweet nostalgia of past relationships to the triumph of self-worth. Standout singles such as “homerun”, “ex-friends”, and the anthemic “gold” offer glimpses into jazzygold’s emotional evolution, making this EP more than just music—it’s a personal testament to growth, healing, and finding strength in one’s own story.
A Voice of Representation and Empowerment
jazzygold is the artist project of Jasmin Mote, whose signature blend of R&B and soulpop is unmistakable. Her music is defined by candid lyrics, a soulful voice, and captivating visuals, all rooted in authenticity. As a woman of color from the Faroe Islands, she embarked on this musical journey with a mission—to create representation for young girls like her, both at home and around the world. Growing up without role models who looked like her in the music industry, she is determined to change the narrative and inspire others to pursue their dreams.
A Meteoric Rise
Since announcing her solo project in January 2023, jazzygold has been unstoppable. She made her debut at the prestigious Trondheim Calling showcase festival in Norway just a month later and has since performed at renowned events across Europe. Her whirlwind year included appearances at The Great Escape in England, Iceland Airwaves, Eurosonic in The Netherlands, and Waves Vienna. She also graced the stages of The G! Festival in the Faroe Islands and Moldejazz in Norway, solidifying her status as a rising star in the music scene.
