Rising alt star Jalle releases his brand new single ‘Downers’, featuring left-pop newcomer Issey Cross. Emerging onto the scene in 2020, Jalle’s live energy has already seen him sell out a homecoming Nottingham show and perform at the likes of: Jack Saunders’ Hopscotch night, Dot2Dot Festival and BBC Introducing.
The track, produced with Josef Page (Aziya, Millie Turner), is a snappy earworm with a central message that rings true to many young people battling with anxieties in the age of the internet. Featuring Issey Cross who has spent 2 weeks in the UK Top 40 with current single ‘Used To This’ by DJ and producer Wilkinson, the pair have worked together to create something that encompasses their past anxieties and trauma in a track that radiates good vibes.
As Jalle comments: “My school life definitely had an influence on this song for me, particularly how I felt during my school years. I always hated school and never really felt like I fit in. I always felt like an outsider and was constantly changing myself to try and fit in. Issey and I really connected over this and had similar experiences so 'Downers' was created.”
