If an artist with only three singles under its belt is qualified for a signature sound, JUICYPEAR manages to stay on course with their latest synth-y, chillwave-inflected, indie-pop effort, “Keep Your Love On”
Like pretty much everyone, JUICYPEAR didn’t particularly need 2020. But, 2020 definitely needed some JUICYPEAR.
Comprised of Jacob and Jasmine Mayeda – partners in both music and life – JUICYPEAR helped make the last half of 2020 as sweet as it could be. Or, at least, a little less sour. The husband-and-wife team released three highly acclaimed and soulful power-pop singles, “Golden Sky,” “Rollercoaster,” and “Caught Up.”
As Wolf in a Suit put it, "The uber-talented duo has managed to connect with our imaginations and feed it a most amazing musical ambrosia, that you are sure to crave over and over again.”
Now, to kick off 2021 and staying true to the duo’s special brand of indie pop, JUICYPEAR is back with a deliciously upbeat track, “Keep Your Love On.”
“Being married is not always an easy task,” says Jasmine, reflecting on the inspiration behind the new single. “You may have to stretch in ways you never thought you would and talk about emotions you never thought you had. But throughout the process of being in this relationship with each other, you start to see your love growing for one another as you ‘use your words’ to communicate and grow together. Keeping your love on for one another as you give each other space to grow and learn and be.”
“It was a rough and weird year to start a band,” laughs Jasmine. “But it is also redemptive to be able to bring music into the world that gave us something to look forward to and bring some joy. With 2021 now here, we’re both hopeful to bring more of those creative, inspiring moments through our music and the opportunities they help create.”
DIG IN TO JUICYPEAR. CHILL OUT. ENJOY.
Jasmine and Jacob were both born and raised in the South Bay area of southern California. The story of their ultimately serendipitous union has all the makings of a Hallmark movie, filled with heartrending twists, turns, and missed opportunities.
The two married in April of 2019 and live happily in South Bay with their rambunctious puppy, Gibson.
Inspired by artists like Pharrell, Lianne La Havas, Dua Lipa, John Mayer, Stevie Wonder, and H.E.R., JUICYPEAR is part of AESTHETYK, founded by music industry veteran, Matt Ingle. Ingle created AESTHETYK as a way to offer emerging songwriters and musicians an opportunity for incubation, helping them cultivate a signature and meaningful sound, as well as brand and ethic for a mass audience.
