JayWood – Winnipeg musician & songwriter Jeremy Haywood-Smith – presents a new single ‘Thank You’, from his forthcoming album Slingshot, out July 15th. Pre-order here.
‘Thank You’ was co-produced with Jacob Portrait of Unknown Mortal Orchestra & Blouse and features string arrangements by Johan Lenox. The charming accompanying video, directed by Chantel Simpson, shows Haywood-Smith passing out flowers across Harlem. Watch below!
The song brings JayWood’s sound full circle, offering something reminiscent of Haywood-Smith’s earliest recordings while flaunting that “the best is yet to come.” “‘Thank You’ is a song that’s dedicated to the folks that aren’t really in my life anymore, but more importantly it’s for my mom who passed away back in 2019.” says Haywood-Smith. “I feel like this song kinda wrote itself, it felt so easy to put together because I knew the core of what I was trying to get across. The demo for this song felt super strong but after Jake and I spent some time expanding a few ideas, the song really blossomed into something I couldn’t ever imagine.”
