Utah brethren Lunde's single "Jaded" proves that he isn't just on the right track; he's making his own entirely. In a region better known for its indie-rock exports, Lunde has made it necessary to rewrite the script, creating a lush mélange of soul, R&B, and lo-fi all his own.
"Jaded" is soft like sunlight slicing through a crisp mountain morning but warm and easy to rouse. From cool guitar lines that wrap you up like a favorite sweater to vocals that feel as intimately crafted as a handwritten letter, Lunde invites us each into a heartbroken and deeply comforting space. There's a relaxed, propulsive groove underpinning the proceedings, no denying. Still, beneath it all, there is an undercurrent pulling at the heart: This is about the emotional underpinnings of love and loss and the empty spaces in between.
"Jaded" is a mood, a vibe, and a feeling you want to crawl into. At home on playlists like Soultronic, R&B Connect, and RnB X, "Jaded" brings that timeless yet fresh sound. So, while it's not yet a household name in Nashville, Dallas, here's proof that a meaningful, genre-melding soul can grow some two thousand miles from traditional industry strongholds like Atlanta, LA, or New York.
Through "Jaded," Lunde isn't simply creating tunes but shaping Utah's blossoming music scene anew, one soulful, silky smooth track at a time. If this indicates what's on deck, 2025 will not just be a massive year for Lunde but the year the world tunes in, dials in, and starts to feel what he's all about.
