The producer took the chance to emerge into the spotlight in 2021 by releasing his debut single, “Dimension,” featuring Skepta and Rema. The producer is known for producing some of the biggest singles in the UK and beyond, such as J Hus’ “Did You See” and Dave and Burna Boy’s “Location.” The summertime smash “Propeller” with Dave and BNXN was his follow-up release the previous year.
“This one’s a personal favourite, and we’ve got more in the locker” JAE5
“the journey of making the song was as memorable as the song itself” Lojay
With the chorus affirming that ‘I wish I poured all my love on you’ and lyrics such as ‘It’s been so difficult to ease up when you’re gone/ It’s a little rough, so I had to write a song’, ‘I Wish’ is a poignant yet captivating track that reflects the longing to have cherished and the desire for a second chance.
Listeners are quickly drawn into a world of ecstasy by Lojay’s wonderfully calming vocals, which follow JAE5’s hypnotic distinctive afrobeat-infused production. Before both performers join the chorus together, Libianca takes over the second verse and compliments the Nigerian star with her absolutely mesmerizing voice drifting over the easygoing pace. With the new album, JAE5 has furthered his reputation as one of the most sought-after producers in the UK and demonstrated his capacity to generate classic songs.
