Jai Winter, the moniker of Philadelphia rapper, singer and songwriter Jerrell Taylor, has made waves since his debut. He’s amassed hundreds of thousands of streams and built a reputation for his creative abilities. Recently, he dropped ‘BACKROADS’, a single to round out 2024.
With dark synths, ethereal undertones and colourful production, the instrumentation is a driving force for the new track, balancing plucky melodies with distant, decaying pads.
The drums and Jai enter with impact; the trap arrangement matched with R&B sentiment, the perfect combination for something that oozes late-night listening.
“I wrote this song about the struggles one faces in life and the peace that can be found through faith and perseverance,” Jai shares. “The phrase “backroads” symbolizes a long conventional path to achieving one’s goals, suggesting that, while the journey may be long & challenging, it can lead to a fulfilling and meaningful existence.”
