About the Artist
In the rapidly evolving genre of alt-R&B, LA singer-songwriter Jarell Perry has paved his own lane. His acclaimed debut Simple Things and conceptual follow-up White EP, which mix flavors of Soul, Electronic and Ambient Pop have already drawn comparisons to cross-over heavyweights like The Weeknd and Frank Ocean. But as URB magazine puts it, "what sets him apart from this new breed of talents is a much fuller and developed vocal quality...sublime perfection...”
Perry's most recent project is a 5-track genre-bender entitled Shift (Time No Place/Kompakt Records) , made in collaboration with Toronto producer Deebs . FACT magazine lauded it's experimental sound as "immediate" and Complex named it one of the best EPs of 2015. The immaculately haunting imagery of the EP's official videos match the lush sounds of its lead singles, "Relapse" and "Driving Blind." Both have earned praise from MTV UK, The FADER, Hypetrak, and more.
“His sound is hard to categorize— contemplative in moments, club-ready in others, his ability to shift across genres has drawn comparisons to Frank Ocean, another artist who chooses depth and intelligence over the low-hanging fruit that is simple charm.””
