So insane you say that cause that’s exactly how I described it today! He’s tough for sure

[@slymeCS]

it feels like i have loved this song for years

[@haileykim7990]

As I listen to his music, I feel the pure human function of loving, creating, breaking, and healing. He has always been amazing, but this new album will give me an unforgettable experience and value in my life. Needless to say, I keep listening to it.

[@audidreamin]

The melody when he sings “all my love” reminds me so much of tyrese - act like that. The blend of Rnb progressions, with the blend of 70’s-80’s rock w/ those guitar flares… Dudes a genius

[@audidreamin]

The art direction is superb. he’s a perfect symphony

[@nayibdelarosa510]

he has this timeless energy to his sound, this could've been made in the 80's 90's or the year 3000.

[@womandela7225]

All REALLY good music is timeless like that.

[@tahajfirst6836]

It's like when he writes the songs, he hears it in his head, with the reverb, distortion, and delay "already there", so he intentionally leaves "room" for the efx to do what they do, on their own, filling in gaps between notes and chord changes, with trippy ass ambience...very interesting stuff...between his own stuff, and his production work on Dijon's "absolutely" album (which oozes with the same aesthetic) I think this guy is gonna be a real game changer...one of the most musically innovative artists I've heard out there currently.

[@trampolinetonii7876]

My man is creating a whole new sub genre with these new songs I can't even describe it in words! so refreshing to hear something new like this. Can't wait for the album!! All the singles have been on repeat for me and this one will be no different! Great way to start off the year!

[@Aldoistaken]

For realll

[@wvbo]

jai paul created this sub genre no disrespect to mk.gee he would agree

[@25chrishall]

@@wvbo love Jai Paul. Any other artists in this sub genre?

[@Kidastro123]

​@@wvbosince when did Jai Paul ever make dark fantasy alternative rock lol

[@jaybyze]

Dude def has a great and unique style of his own but to say he’s created an entire new genre is reaching. People will just throw their own words together and toss someone in there. Like all you gotta do these days is crank up the reverb and flanger or chorus and all a sudden he’s Alternative-cave-dweller-Hobo-chic-Indi-pinecone-rock.

[@donknotts3548]

After having heard the album vs. live mixes, you'd be very wise to keep working with Mike Haldeman as a sound engineer. These live mixes are on another level compared to the other recordings, and he seems to have a feel for where you are coming from with your music... that may be a rare partnership, someone who can invent the sound, and someone who can bring it to life.

[@olliedawizard]

this is what I thought when i heard the live mixes for the first time, you are so right in that Mike really does have a sound understanding of Gee's art. Truly incredible things to come if they keep working together.

[@leonardofranco5051]

I think that the album recordings and live performances should be Always different, they are both great.

[@angel_of_history]

idk man the guitar stabs are so harsh and loud above the rest of the mix that I can’t even listen to this in my headphones it’s brutal

[@TBEclan3]

I’m a fan of both and i never knew he worked with haldeman

[@lilwombat]

@@angel_of_history the guitar stabs are my favourite part lol

[@DanyoTV]

Still chasing that first breath/experience of hearing Jasmine/Jai Paul for the first time. I feel it with here, but It feels easier to listen to Dream Police over n over while “pretending” it’s me first time hearing it. Does anyone else do this?

[@sumwhiterice]

this is exactly how i feel dawg

[@seanfknuth]

Thought the same thing. This reminds me of that Jasmine guitar tone

[@JeffrStarkey]

Was literally thinking the same thing about Jai Paul like 10 seconds before reading your comment.

[@kenanbaker360]

YES, it's the exact same emotion ten years later

[@michaelhaydenbell]

Interesting comparison

[@dopeyoda]

Everything this guy does is gold. It’s like discovering Jesus

[@MaxParkerMusic]

It’s sounding like a LANY vocal meeting The Police but slow and psychedelic. It’s so cool and so raw. Loving it.

[@lulusue99]

One of the first things I thought of when I heard this song. I’m not a musician, just someone who really appreciates sound and I’m amazed someone else thought the same exact thing.

[@mantax55]

Exactly what I thought sans LANY, unsure of whom they are. But The Police vibe is strong

[@shawwww]

the liminal lighting, the differing temperatures and textures, the pensive clown.. his artistry is so transcendental im sick

[@watertower1]

Pensive clown? Where ? I need to know

[@jacobmtucker]

He is truly onto something special. I'm 23 and have always loved 70s/80s classic rock thanks to my dad. This guy immediately reminds me of Sting/The Police. He has that other-wordly magical vibe with that voice. He absolutely takes inspiration from Sting given the song title. Amazing to see... you never hear music like this anymore. Pure talent

[@indyrod321]
