JP Saxe - Caught Up On You. An exclusive performance for Vevo.
You wonât find another creative journey quite like the one behind JP Saxeâs new album, âA Grey Area.â A little while back, the DC-born, Toronto-raised singer-songwriter found himself in the midst of a jarring breakup. He and his girlfriend Julia Michaels had written, recorded, and released one of the seminal tracks of the pandemic in âIf the World Was Ending.â All about self-doubt, the value of the commitments we make to each other, and the warmth of companionship during dire times, the duet touched listeners to a degree Saxe couldnât have dreamed; it has more than a billion streams on Spotify. Their ensuing breakup couldnât have been easy. (Sheâs âfucking incredible,â he maintains.) In need of a new view, he pulled up roots and relocated to Colombia. His late mother spoke Spanish, and he yearned to connect with her by learning the language. Soon the music came flowing. Ironically, âA Grey Areaâ details this time in his life in bright splashes of descriptive color. âCaught Up On Youâ bears the self-effacing line âI say, âIt's sexy how you speak three languagesâ/You tell me, "Don't say that, you sound so fuckin' Americanâ.â The 13 song project reinforces Saxe as one of popâs most vivid storytellers out there. Youâd be forgiven for thinking that JP is simply reading from his diary while he plunks the piano in these âCaught Up On Youâ and âAll My Shit Is In The Carâ performances. Always special when an artist lays it bare for us.
