Two people stand closely together outdoors under a clear blue sky. One person with bright orange and red hair faces away from the camera, wearing a brown striped sweater. The other person, with short brown hair, leans their head gently on the first person’s shoulder with eyes closed, wearing a green top and patterned brown jacket. The image conveys a sense of calm intimacy and warmth.

Artist Spotlight: BLACK JEANS

BlackJeans doesn’t just make music—they conjure entire worlds. In this off-the-rails Q&A, the NYC-bred artist takes us on a ride through time-warped jazz clubs, neon-lit desert raves, and confetti-soaked bathrooms. From heartfelt reflections on love to chaotic party anthems, End of the World pt.1 captures the strange, raw beauty of being alive and a little unhinged. Get to know the mind behind the madness in our latest Artist Spotlight.
