Undeniably one of today’s most essential artists, the enigmatic polymath Jean Dawson has released his highly anticipated new album, Glimmer Of God, and it’s Jean like we’ve never seen or heard him before. The project houses a collection of songs that reveal a new chapter for Jean: 15 breathtaking tracks with incredible depth and a stunning theatrical approach that envelop a powerful message of hope and chronicle his personal journey of growth. The songs feature his vocal prowess front and center, soaring across intricate production and instrumentation and boundless sonic range that honors the sounds that shaped Jean. The project captures Jean’s deep admiration for his mother, whose profound impact remains at the core of his being and his art, while simultaneously celebrating the divine feminine that exists in all of us and can prove healing and liberating. 

Jean’s most honest and deeply riveting work to date, Glimmer Of God, sees the young artist make an immeasurable mark on the larger pop arena, firmly continuing his reign as one of music’s foremost visionaries today. Sonically, the album pulls inspiration from the rich musical world that was nourished by Jean’s mother as a young child growing up between the US and Mexico. Here Jean flourishes in the impact of great artists that shaped him, such as Prince, Stevie Wonder, Modest Mouse, Zapp & Roger, and the other sounds from the 80s that his mother loved across pop, dance, rock, R&B, and more. Staying true to that era that nurtured some of music’s greatest icons that was founded on live instrumentation, the album features complete live instrumentation seen through the stunning sonic arrangements. The project was largely produced and composed by Jean and his team of close collaborators that includes Hoskins (Khalid, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Don Toliver, Wiz Khalifa), Vic Wainstein (Tyler, The Creator, Frank Ocean, Mac Miller, Odd Future), Biako (Masego, Fousheé, Fana Hues, Baby Rose), and Johnny May (Sam Short, Che Lingo).
