After the ingenious online campaign #whothefuckisjj it was revealed that IAMJJ is the artist name of a 24-year-old Danish singer-songwriter, who writes and performs in English. Following in the footsteps of his heroes Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen, his tracks are drenched in melancholy. Both musically and lyrically. A modern crooner!

His first proper single Homer will be out in January 2018, followed by his debut album Bloody Future on 23 March. This was also the title of his introductory teaser single. I like the second teaser track You In My Arms even better. It features a piano melody that makes me think of David Sylvian (whose music I love). Check it here:
