Following its audio premiere via Folk Radio with the accompanying video debuting on Clash this week, Jinnwoo shares his new Gerry Diver produced single ‘Waiting For P To Have a Vision’.
Jinnwoo makes a unique blend of “confessional gothic folk” (The Guardian Guide). His distinctive fragile vocal and stark, atmospheric arrangements have seen him described as “a true original” (Clash) and a “singular folk talent” (Independent). Talking to Clash, Jinnwoo explains the situation that inspired new single ‘Waiting For P To Have a Vision’
“I was stuck in a very frustrating place with someone, and I realised I had been in that place a million times before with a million different people. Sometimes you find yourself waiting for someone’s approval, or input, or for them to just write to you at least – just some glimmer from them. But all these people ever do is give you just enough to keep you hanging on longer, there is never a conclusion, and they never allow you to pack up and move on. This song is an attack against that.”
Jinnwoo is the work of Brighton-based visual artist and singer-songwriter Ben Webb. In 2014 he released his debut Your Baby EP and a series of singles, including the EP’s title track, as well as ‘Solo Man’, ‘You Should Be Feeling This Elliott’ and ‘I Am, I Am, The World’s Oldest Man’. The releases collectively garnered coverage across The Guardian Guide, The Line of Best Fit, Clash, 405 and For Folk’s Sake among many others all resulting in Jinnwoo being named one of The Independent’s “Faces to Watch 2015”.
The new digital single ‘Waiting For P To Have A Vision’ will be officially released on Friday 20 May via Jinnwoo’s imprint GFM Records. It will also be available as an instant grat track on all album pre-orders via iTunes from Friday 13 May.
Jinnwoo’s long-awaited debut album is set for release this September.
