May 19, 2025 Jacqui’s New Single ‘fries, bb’, Captures The Art of Unspoken Attraction

Jacqui’s New Single ‘fries, bb’, Captures The Art of Unspoken Attraction

Jacqui’s latest single ‘fries, bb’, released on May 9, 2025, via Beeline Records, highlights her distinctive fusion of neo-soul and Korean heritage. Born in South Korea, raised in China & the U.S., and now based mostly in South Korea, Jacqui’s music reflects her global journey. With over half a million Spotify streams and performances at SXSW Sydney and Bangkok Music City, she’s swiftly gaining recognition. Her tracks have appeared in Netflix’s My Holo Love and Amazon Prime’s BUTTERFLY, earning her comparisons to neo-soul pioneers like Erykah Badu and FKA Twigs.

The song ‘fries, bb’ is a groove-driven track that captures the quiet intimacy of a late-night diner. Its production mixes clean neo-soul rhythms with subtle distorted elements, creating a modern twist. Jacqui’s vocals are warm and expressive, carrying the theme of unspoken attraction with ease. The lyrics focus on ordering fries as a reason to stay longer with someone, blending clever wordplay with a relatable scenario that feels personal yet widely appealing.

Jacqui has said about the song, “It’s set in a late-night burger shop where you order fries just to spend more time with that person you’re crushing on.” This choice shapes the track’s laid-back yet intentional vibe, with the distorted instrumentals adding a layer of tension to the lighthearted premise. It shows her skill in taking a simple idea and giving it emotional weight through production and delivery, connecting her personal vision to a broader audience.

With ‘fries, bb’, Jacqui keeps pushing neo-soul forward, blending her Korean roots into the genre’s core. Stepping off of The Great Escape Festival stage in Brighton on May 15 and 16, we’re excited to hear what influences she’ll weave into her upcoming projects.

Discover Tommy Down’s breakout single ‘Mrs Blue’, a soul-rock masterpiece from 21st Century Living!

Tommy Down, the London-based multi-instrumentalist, is redefining soulful storytelling with his 2024 single ‘Mrs Blue’, a heartfelt track from his album 21st Century Living that’s amassed 5.7 million Spotify streams. Hailed by Radio X and Earmilk for its raw emotion, the song showcases Down’s evocative vocals and minimalist style, while his upcoming 2025 EP, previewed by the psychedelic ‘Do You Want It All?’ in CLASH Magazine, hints at an ambitious sonic evolution.

Rooted in his UK-Ghanaian heritage, Tommy’s music channels legends like Marvin Gaye and Al Green, blending soul with rock and introspective lyricism. His dynamic performances at Camden Rocks Festival alongside Frank Turner and regular London gigs, paired with six songs featured in HBO’s Industry—co-created by his brother Mickey Down—have solidified his rising star status. Down’s collaborations with producers like Jeffrey Silverman and Invisible Men (Jon Shave and Jason Pebworth) elevate his genre-defying sound.

The tender ‘Mrs Blue’, with its Al Green-inspired rhythm and vulnerable depth, captures unspoken longing. Tommy Down revealed: “The song was produced by Grammy and Brit award winning producer Jon Shave. I brought Jason Pebworth, one of the Invisible Men, a song I wrote about my girlfriend. It felt like a sixth sense and I wrote a song about that feeling. Jason suggested getting a sort of Al Green ‘Lets stay together’ beat for the track, which worked very well.”
