Jay Americana Blends Hip-hop With Electrifying Dance Beats In New Single “sweat” Ahead Of New 555 EP
Jay Americana (he/they) has dropped their latest installment “sweat” across streaming services today. As a queer, Atlanta-based artist, Jay Americana brings an experimental and unique blend of pop, hip-hop, and dance beats to their music. Divine Ikpe of the Georgia Voice commented on the artist’s unique style stating that “music serves as a different language to communicate to people with,” highlighting the personal connection Americana strives for in his discography.
The first single to come from Americana’s self-released 555 EP, “sweat” is an electrifying dance-rap track that is meant to replicate the pounding sound and intense atmosphere of the dance floor. Listeners who enjoy BROCKHAMPTON, Vince Staples and Channel Tres could find themselves a fan of Americana’s lyrical flow. The project overall is meant to evoke the feeling of euphoria and energy within a dynamic nightlife scene, as “sweat” itself is described as:
“This is sort of like lighting the fuse on a stick of dynamite, opening the floodgates. Through the pounding, house-inspired beat and infectious hook, ‘sweat’ conjures hazy memories of a night out.”
