Following the release of Jay Soms critically acclaimed sophomore album, Anak Ko (2019), the bands creative force, Melina Duterte, is already back with 2 beautiful new songs. A Thousand Words and Cant Sleep both give listeners a crystal clear reminder as to what made Jay Som one of the most popular indie acts of the last few years.

"'A Thousand Words' was made after a year of extensive touring plus a cancelled tour," explains Duterte. "I forced myself to make a sort of big and jovial song to bring me out of the funk I was in - I also wanted to remind myself that music can be fun!. Heavily inspired by Bruce Springsteen, Elliott Smith, Pavement and that song 'Alright' by Supergrass."
