Cape Jay Dives Deep With ‘Southern Water’ Single

Cape Jay Dives Deep With ‘Southern Water’ Single – Cape Jay, the rising indie talent who brought us tracks “Golden Lady” and “My Own Devices,” unveils a new chapter in his musical journey with the release of “Southern Water.” Building on his signature soul-stirring style, Cape Jay delves into introspective themes that resonate deeply with listeners.

In “Southern Water,” Cape Jay weaves a musical tapestry that reflects on themes of nostalgia, change, freedom, and connection to place. Guided by producer Greg Abrahams from Sound Foundry Studios, the song’s indie-pop soundscape, distinct vocals, and evocative storytelling resonate across diverse audiences. Anthemic in its nature, “Southern Water” creates an emotional connection that bridges gaps and touches hearts.

Drawing from Cape Jay’s own experiences, “Southern Water” reflects the complex interplay between his own nomadic lifestyle. The the call of his roots. Often travelling abroad for months on end. Cape Jay channels the emotions of leaving and the longing for homecoming. This, into a melodic narrative that strikes a chord with anyone who’s felt the pull of familiar shores.

Intriguingly, the cover art for “Southern Water” is a collaboration within Cape Jay’s family. Tim Dempers, Cape Jay’s brother and mixed media artist, contributes a powerful piece that harmonizes with the song’s essence.

The original artwork, a stunning 120 x 120cm creation of kelp, adhesive, paint, and timber, draws inspiration from their family’s connection to the sea.

The kelp, sourced from Cape Town’s oceans, becomes a symbol that resonates deeply with the song’s themes of grounding, interconnection, and longing for home.

“Southern Water was written on a kitchen floor, or galley as it’s called, at sea. Somewhere along the coastline of Sardinia in 2015. I wrote this with a group of friends I worked with. We included a ukulele, rice shaker, and something resembling a drum box. It was only when going through old voice notes that I found it again. I thought, ‘YES! This is worth recording!’ And so, we did.” – Cape Jay

Cape Jay’s ability to encapsulate the dichotomy of leaving and belonging demonstrates his dedication to crafting music that resonates on a deeply personal level.
