Pale Jay

Pale Jay is a trained jazz vocalist and pianist who wrote, recorded, and produced all the tracks on his 2023 debut album "Bewilderment," except for "By The Lake," a collaboration with labelmates Okonski. His music is influenced by a wide range of songwriters, including Labi Siffre, Carole King, and William Onyeabor. The album seamlessly blends his signature dusty soul, slow disco, and Afrobeat, with string arrangements by Raven Bush adding an extra layer of magic to the beat-heavy productions.
