A tender and vulnerable track, “Sleeping with the Lights On” shows her really open up; “How the hell are you so fine, while I’m out here losing my mind?” Jade belts as she deals with heartbreak. Jade has been giving fans a sneak peek of the song, performing it live on tour, and most recently featuring it in her Audiotree live session, which also includes “Constellations,” “Running Home,” and an interview.
Speaking about the new single, Jade says, “‘Sleeping with the Lights On’ is another one of my favorites. This one is definitely a vulnerable song, a heartbreak song. This also was the first song where I really discovered my sound when it comes to writing on guitar.”
Jade‘s single “Running Home” continues to make waves in North America with a recent SiriusXM Hits-1’s Hitbound add, as well as adds in major markets across the U.S, and was the #9 most added track on Pop Radio. In Canada the single has been added to multiple major radio stations across the country, debuting on the Hot AC charts this week and continuing to grow.
Jade’s impassioned storytelling has set her apart since her career beginnings, and It’s Always At Night adds new chapters. This EP was built on the artist’s guitar, whose poetic riffs, with the help of longtime production partner JVP (Mother Mother, Simple Plan), were amplified to bring a bigger pop sound to the new music. One of the EP’s most endearing treasures is the vocal choir woven throughout, made up of Jade’s friends and family. Their presence is a reflection of the artist’s humanity, as she proudly takes her loved ones along her career’s joyride. Jade dives into themes of being in love and finding yourself through it all, opening herself to listeners and empowering herself through her vulnerability. Explaining, Jade says, “It’s Always At Night is a story about a person who’s in love with love. There are songs for so many emotions – heartbreak, desire, love, and lust. Each song is its own story about the different ways I’ve felt while being in love with someone.”
Jade, is a rapidly rising star who has received praise from the likes of LA Weekly, OnesToWatch, Rolling Stone, LadyGunn, and Wonderland Magazine to name a few and has received a GLAAD Award nomination for Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist. She has built a devout and evergrowing fanbase by being true to herself as a Queer Vietnamese Canadian, and re-shaping the definition of pop stardom. With It’s Always At Night, Jade positions herself as one of the most exciting pop artists to watch.
