JITWAM - THIRD
Since his first album, Selftitled, in 2017, I've been a big admirer of Jitwam. His latest full-length, Third, has been on repeat since its release in July. The Sydney-based singer and songwriter uses his rich South Asian heritage in his music, and you can hear elements of that in this album. Incorporating sounds from across the world, Jitwam has always married incisive political commentary with deep introspection creating work that is simultaneously intimate and playful.
On Third, his ideas feel fully formed, and ready to take flight. He expands upon his beat-making abilities and production, fusing live music with samples, while elevating his craft to new heights. He seamlessly floats through Latin music, funk, soul, punk and disco.
Throughout the album, he evokes memories of finding peace…
