JAYLIEN AND MAISON KITSUNÉ
SONG PREMIERE:
“BLACKROSE”
Multi-platinum songwriter and R&B artist JAYLIEN partners with French Japanese fashion line Maison Kitsuné to debut his brand new single “BlackRose.” Written and produced by JAYLIEN, the eclectic song delves into passionate heartbreaks and the merry-go-round of intertwined relationships. “BlackRose” premiered on the popular Hot Stream platform by Maison Kitsuné, a one-of-a-kind brand that unites fashion and music.
“A couple months after I released my debut EP ‘Summer’s Over,’ I found myself writing BlackRose, a song about my dating experiences,” explains JAYLIEN. “I realized that a lot of the women I was involved with were actually good women that got caught in this fast life. Or in relationships with the wrong person but felt stuck. It’s like an open letter to anyone in that kind of situation.”
Jaylien released his debut EP Summer’s Over last year as featured in The FADER, Nylon, The SOURCE, Complex, 2DopeBoyz, Singersroom, Karen Civil and his hometown paper St. Louis Post Dispatch.
