JAE5 finally returns with ‘I Wish’ – yet another banger just in time for warmer days. Known for consistently collaborating with the hottest talent out there, the Grammy-winning producer has enlisted Nigerian rising star Lojay and Cameroonian-American breakout songstress Libianca for his latest offering. – Listen HERE.
The producer, who is known for delivering some of the biggest hits in the UK and beyond, such as J Hus’ ‘Did You See’ and Dave and Burna Boy’s ‘Location’, took the leap to step into his own spotlight in 2021 by releasing his debut single ‘Dimension’ ft. Skepta and Rema. Last year, he then followed up with the summer hit ‘Propeller’ ft. Dave and BNXN.
“This one’s a personal favourite, and we’ve got more in the locker” JAE5
“the journey of making the song was as memorable as the song itself” Lojay
With the chorus affirming that ‘I wish I poured all my love on you’ and lyrics such as ‘It’s been so difficult to ease up when you’re gone/ It’s a little rough, so I had to write a song’, ‘I Wish’ is a poignant yet captivating track that reflects the longing to have cherished and the desire for a second chance. Kicking off with JAE5’s spellbinding signature afrobeat-infused production, Lojay’s effortlessly soothing vocals immediately draw listeners into a world of bliss. Taking over the second verse, Libianca complements the Nigerian star with her truly mesmerising voice floating over the laid-back beat before both artists join the chorus in conjunction. With the new release, JAE5 has once again proved his ability to create timeless hits and claim his status as one of the UK’s most coveted producers.
