Jaewon, a singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, releases his new album “The Bower Bird.” Spanning eight songs and 31 minutes and 43 seconds, it’s a profoundly personal project rooted in themes of addiction, heartbreak, and the trials of adulthood. Each track is a carefully collected prize, much like the bird whose name inspired its title.
Jaewon has been described as a bower bird, hoarding and showcasing lovely things to attract a mate. Through “The Bower Bird,” he stitches his collection, fragments from pain, hope, and self-discovery into an elaborate quilt. His trademark variety of fragrances is elective and electronic solos in one fall breath.
Standout tracks such as “The Bower Bird” and “Treasures” shine as emotional high points, highlighting his masterful storytelling and production. With melodies mixed with lyricism, every passage feels like a look into one-half of a broken mirror, begging you to glimpse the other side.
