The temperatures are rising and flowers are opening into full bloom, as summer drifts in gently on a spring wind. Jet Vesper‘s laidback, Bossa Nova infused new Neo-Soul track “Golden Day” is definitely one that will be part of my summer Spotify rotation. The song celebrates those rare, blissful moments when the universe is smiling at you. Jet’s vocals are silky smooth as he glides through lyrics that celebrate lifeʼs simple pleasures. The production features Bossa Nova style latin drums, melodic flutes, and gentle acoustic guitar, creating a light and sunny soundscape that pairs delightfully with Jet’s vocals. There is an undercurrent of struggle and pain brought in by lyrics like: “Most days I’m a soul running out of emotion, trying to be okay alone”. This contrast captures the bittersweet feeling that can lurk even in golden moments.

Jet Vesper, the multitalented artist behind the track is a songwriter, singer, guitarist and producer from Canberra, Australia. His funky name combines The Jetsons with the famous cocktail, to create a stage name that is as groovy and nostalgic as his music. When Jet’s name landed on NME‘s coveted list of the top 100 new artists, they aptly coined him as “Vesperʼs music is destined to slip down as smoothly as its cocktail namesake, and leave you just as woozy”. This track perfectly encapsulates a summertime “Golden Day” spent lounging at the beach followed by refreshing cocktails in the late evening sun. So grab yourself a refreshing drink, lounge in the summer glow, and pop on this seductively smooth tune.
