Jay Som – the project of the Los Angeles-based Melina Duterte – today shares “Cards On The Table” the second single from her forthcoming album Belong.

“Cards On The Table” is a tender and revealing slice of electronic pop full of mesmerizing electronic flourishes, gentle hooks and warped vocals (with additional performance from Lexi Vega of Mini Trees) cascading over tessellated drum machines and synths. It follows the release of the album’s lead single “Float (feat. Jim Adkins)”, and complimentary release “A Million Reasons Why”.

Duterte says of the song: “‘Cards On The Table’ is my favorite song on Belong! It’s about the shifting nature of friendships and how devastating conflict can be in platonic relationships when you feel misunderstood by each other. I think it’s a universal experience to navigate that type of dynamic. It feels like a never-ending cycle of people walking in and out of your life, but it ultimately leads to self-discovery and growth.”

Jay Som has also announced her first North American headline tour in over 5 years, following her run supporting Lucy Dacus this Summer. She returns to the UK and Europe in the Autumn, including stops at Pitchfork London and Pitchfork Paris. Check the Jay Som website for all dates and ticket links HERE.
