Emerging singer-figure Je’Vel steps boldly into the musical limelight with his latest single, “A World To Burn,” a track that’s as cinematic as it is introspective. By the time we hear the very first note, the listener is drawn into a soundscape that manages to juggle intensity with a touch of hope, an artistic tightrope Je’Vel walks with apparent ease.
Produced in part and co-written by the Grammy-nominated YawnyBlew, the song is not only a visual delight, but it dares to provoke. In his verses, Je’Vel pictures a world verging on collapse, but even within the conflagration, he reminds you, individual salvation equals collective deliverance. It’s driven to the glint of flaring nostrils in his forceful vocals, which go a long way toward selling the narrative of destruction here that takes as much room inside his soul as it does in the world at large.
“A World To Burn” is the title track from a companion album connected with a novel Je’Vel has been writing over the course of the last 14 years. That kind of storytelling depth is felt in every note and lyric, and gives the single a weight and resonance which continues long after the music fades. "A World To Burn" is an admonition to oneself, a cinematic journey through the fire and flames of this world, lit by only light that Je’Vel knows how to ignite.
