Jazzie’s latest single, “Waiting On You!”, is a stunning blend of emotional vulnerability and bold artistic expression, marking a key moment in the rising star’s career. Effortlessly balancing the weight of unrequited love with a sense of confidence, this track offers listeners an intimate glimpse into the complexity of desire and emotional yearning. Fans of artists like Clairo and Gracie Abrams will immediately resonate with Jazzie’s confessional songwriting and airy, indie-rock-tinged production.
The song opens with a delicate, haunting melody that gradually builds into a rich, textured soundscape, laying the perfect foundation for Jazzie’s sweet-as-honey vocals. Her voice, gentle yet powerful, floats effortlessly over the atmospheric production, weaving through the song’s lush layers of shimmering synths, delicate drums, and intimate instrumentation. It’s this combination of lush musicality and raw honesty that sets “Waiting On You!” apart from the pack, positioning Jazzie as a uniquely captivating voice in the modern indie scene.
Lyrically, Jazzie taps into one of the most universal emotions—longing for someone who doesn’t return that same feeling. In her hands, the experience becomes both deeply personal and universally relatable. With poetic simplicity, she paints vivid scenes that stay with you long after the song has ended. The lines between vulnerability and strength are blurred, as Jazzie opens up about the sting of waiting on someone who is not waiting back. Yet, she never sounds defeated. Instead, there’s a quiet dignity in her delivery, and it’s this emotional nuance that elevates the track from just another love song to something more profound.
What truly makes “Waiting On You!” stand out is the way the song ebbs and flows, mirroring the emotional journey of longing itself. The production is a delicate dance between intimacy and expansiveness, and the way Jazzie’s voice interacts with the instrumentation—sometimes delicate, sometimes soaring—perfectly matches the highs and lows of the emotions she’s singing about. As the song builds toward its cathartic crescendo, it’s impossible not to feel the release of all that pent-up emotion, as if sharing in Jazzie’s own journey toward emotional catharsis.
“Waiting on You! Is a song about a crush and the anxiety and excitement that can bring up in you. The stomach butterfly feelings you get when you like someone but aren’t sure how they feel about you, so every interaction has a loaded energy to it. You’re just waiting in anticipation for how situation is going to unfold but too nervous to make the first move.”
Recently named one of LADYGUNN’S 2025 Artists To Watch, LA-based indie darling Jazzie Young is stepping into a promising 2025, as she gets ready to release her debut full-length album. Inspired by the songwriting sensibilities of her father Jesse Colin Young – legendary folk singer and frontman of 1960s rock band The Youngbloods – Jazzie’s solo music gives her a chance to make sense of the world around her. The upcoming 10-track project – including recent single “Lux” inspired by The Virgin Suicides (Sofia Coppola) – explores the emotional complexity of growth, love, and the constant changing state our lives take, highlighting how there can be comfort in both change and despair.
