Jay Prince

Black Tea regulars will definitely recognize Jay Prince. With a fun, energetic, and eclectic flow, Prince adds an incredible amount of life to his music from the first beat. The genre-bending singer/songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist pulls from a huge swath of musical influences to create his own authentic style. A creative, fearless musician, Prince’s music is deeply personal but never shies away from the laid back and infectious energy, confidence, and sheer creativity he possesses as an artist.

This week we’re featuring his “WORTH IT” from his 2020 album SOL VOL. 3. With a cool, gently reggae inspired vibe, the track features Prince’s incredible creativity and dynamite production skills front and center. A less skilled artist would struggle to balance all the elements in this track, but Prince elegantly and smoothly intertwines a synthy-guitar hook, a floating melody and breathy background vocals, and a complicated, multi-layered beat into a single stunning musical unit. This is the definition of “tight”.
