Rising Artist: Jean Dawson’s ‘PIRATE RADIO*’ is one of our favorite tracks.
Formerly an underground act, Jean Dawson has become a new favorite songwriter and genre-bending artist. His song ‘PIRATE RADIO*’ doesn’t strike as a radio hit at first, especially not when listened to with the context of his ‘CHAOS NOW*’ album. The track fuses a folk-like ballad with Dawson’s unique flows, melodies, and shifting musical breakdowns.
The rest of the album delves into pop, rap, rock, and punk elements. No matter what track you listen to you’re sure to never be bored. We love his signature voice and how it flows over his wide range of sounds.
Dawson’s influences are varied including artists like Bon Iver, Nirvana, Odd Future and The Smiths. You can definitely hear the mix of sounds reflected in his albums.
