J.Western "Just People / Midnight Thoughts" CD

★Japan exclusive CD release★First limited edition

Following in the footsteps of Rex Orange County and Still Woozy, the UK acts to come in are Leeds newcomer JWestern. This is the first physical release of all the songs released by this singer-songwriter who is attracting attention from the youth generation and who mixes R&B, Jazz, Indie, and Hip-Hop!

JWestern, a project by Leeds-based singer-songwriter John Gooding, has released their two EPs to date, "Just People" and "Midnight Thoughts," in a physical release for the first time in the world! Since around 2017, new generation pop artists who play a mix of indie, R&B, jazz and hip-hop, such as Rex Orange County, Still Woozy, and Easy Life in the UK, and Steve Lacy and Yeek in the US, have become increasingly active, and their momentum shows no signs of slowing down around the world. JWestern is another artist who, like these hit artists, plays smooth indie/R&B.

Influenced by his parents, JWestern started playing guitar at the age of 6, and was so impressed at the age of 14 when he discovered artists such as Rejjie Snow and Tom Misch on Soundcloud that he started making his own music. This album includes all 9 songs that JWestern has released in his career so far, including his debut song "Call You Right Now," which was featured in more than 25 media outlets and became a hot topic, and the killer tune "Aspirin" from his second EP, which are songs that could easily become a hit among young people right now, as well as "Check In," which combines dreamy guitar with a powerful, fast-paced rhythm, and the soft rock "Feel Like This," which will captivate fans of Mac DeMarco and Michael Sayer!
